First impression? Spectacular and gorgeous! We decided to dine here during convention upon rec from my parents. Since I adore Italian cuisine I was definitely game.
I wish I could remember the name of the cocktail I ordered because it was really tasty. I do remember that it had blueberry vodka and sage and was really refreshing. They were featuring a special app with squash blossoms and zucchini. Yes please! Fried squash blossoms are such a treat during the summer for my family that I had to try LAVO's version. I must confess that my Italian Great-Grandmother's recipe is better, but I did enjoy having them in a restaurant.
For my entree I selected the ravioli. It was stuffed with cheese and so much better than what you purchase in the grocery store. The filling was a little salty for my taste, but it could have been the cheese since some varieties can be a little on the salty side. Other than that, they were good.
Our server was as sweet as she could be and gave good recs as far as what to order. I always appreciate that info. I would have loved to have ordered dessert, but I was waaaay to full to indulge. Next time...
