Across the street from the more well known Lolita, Lago is a gem that deserves attention. Excellent waitstaff and incredible food make Lago a must for anyone looking for modern, classic Italian food.
We ordered a bottle of Reisling but the waiter informed that they were out and suggested an alternative which was perfect.
We started with a superb Caesar salad with sweet, marinated tomato, whole anchovies and perfectly crisp Parmesan frico.
The Herb Crusted Chicken was moist, tender and delicious with an addictive garlic cream sauce. Served with spinach done to perfection and fingerling potatoes, it was memorable.
The Pan Roasted Halibut was some of the best fish we've had. Perfectly cooked, flaky and seasoned to perfection, it was accompanied by delicious swiss chard and polenta "fries". The polenta was the only part of the dish that we weren't wowed by but it was still good.
Our waiter was perfectly attentive but not distracting allowing us to enjoy the ambiance and a perfectly paced meal. We're already planning a trip back.
