I'm on a roll with nice restaurants. Lago did not disappoint. We had a large party and ordered a variety of dishes to share.
Pesce. This was raw fish, like sashimi or ceviche. We had the ahi tuna with the orange segments. Very fresh and subtle. Delicious. The salmon with the caper was also interesting. Also fresh, but more savory.
Crabmeat Salad. Crab with quinoa and baby greens. Tastes as fancy as it sounds. Again, it was fresh and luxurious.
Gnocchi. We had both kinds, the plain with blue cheese and the potato ones with lobster. Both were delicious, especially the latter. It was such a good pairing.
Crostini. Very simple dish, with tomatoes and basil. Kind of expensive for what it is.
Deli Meats. There was prosciutto, salami, and bresaola. Good but nothing special. Maybe I'm not enough of a connoisseur to be able to distinguish between this and what I can get at Trader Joe's.
Lamb Ragu Pasta. I don't generally like lamb, but this was quite good. It was rich but I didn't taste any gaminess.
Beef tenderloin. This was amazing. Cooked just right. It was tender and flavorful.
The food was amazingly good and amazingly expensive. It's not like I can afford to eat here all the time, but once or maybe twice is nice!
