Lago Enoteca

We had the pleasure of experiencing their five-course dinner, complemented by a wine pairing, which was both delightful and enjoyable at the price of $117 per person.1. For the appetizer, we enjoyed fried olives and a stuffed peppers filled with goat cheese. This dish was light and flavorful, perfectly paired with a generous serving of chilled red wine. An additional app was given of fresh tomatoes accompanied by baby arugula.3. The second course showcased rigatoni pasta served with short rib and a truffle cream sauce, which was nothing short of delicious. 4. For the main course, we had our Delmonico steak medium rare with mushrooms. It was good & tender Cooked to how we liked. 5. Finally we concluded with desert assortment and paired with desert wine. I highly suggest this to everyone. Also got to meet chef Alex. Happy tummy!

We went opening weekend and the food was great. We look forward to returning and seeing what specials and new dishes they come up.

If you are longing for some authentic Italian cuisine, then you need to come here. The restaurant has a beautiful, classy interior that is very warm and welcoming. They have an extensive wine list that is NE Ohio focused along with a craft cocktail list. I had a Negroni Sbagliato. It was the perfect balance of bitter and sweet. Next came the arancino. Honestly, this was the best one that I have ever eaten. The flavors, the fry, and sauce were spot on. My husband enjoyed the spaghetti and then the chicken. Each item was better than the next one. I enjoyed the sea scallops with the pea puree. Pure heaven. The scallops were perfectly cooked. The prosciutto adds the right amount of saltiness, and then the pea puree is smooth, bright, and hits the right balance for this dish. It is well worth the drive. I can't wait to go back.

This is our second time here at Lago's and it was truly a fantastic experience. We really wanted to test the kitchen so we ordered the 5 course Degustazione dinner for two. The chef made delicious Fried olives, stuffed peppers, tomato burrata, a scallop appetizer, 2 kinds of fantastic pastas, and an amazing hanger steak with greens. We had a wonderful bottle of The Primitivo wine. The food as well as our waitress/staff was special. . We look forward to another creative experience there soon!

We had high hopes for this restaurant. Unfortunately we did not have a pleasant experience. First off, it took us about 25 minutes to get cocktails. We had to pay $10 for a plate of bread, which seemed excessive. I've been to many Italian restaurants in Ashtabula, and mostly downtown Cleveland. Almost every one of them gives complimentary bread. The appetizers were small and overpriced and took forever to come out. We finally order our dinners and order more drinks. They did not have the bottle of wine we ordered, which is fine but I have heard from others that they've had the same experience. Just print out a daily wine list if this is going to be the case. Our entrees were decent. They were under seasoned so we requested extra parmesan cheese and salted everything. Someone at our table ordered a side of meatballs and sausage with their meal. They did not come out until we were getting the check. They did not take them off of the bill. We had to ask for everything from water, ready to order, more drinks, the check. At a nice restaurant I expect to the wait staff to check in and set the pace for the meal. I do not mind a long drawn out dinner if you keep the drinks flowing and deliver great service.

I stopped there one night after a meeting to just have a glass of wine. A couple was sitting at the bar and had one of those many course meals, and they said it was excellent, so I decided to have an appetizer (suggested by the barmaid) it was very a pear concoction, which was heavenly. The wine was excellent (also suggested by the barmaid). The owner/chef stopped to say hello and I will just have to go back. I have been coming to this building ever since I was a kid, as we lived across the street where the parking lot now is. I have been to every restaurant that has ever been in there. It is now really beautiful inside and that food was truly imaginative and really good...so yes I def recommend and I will stop again for that 5 course dinner...Can't wait

We had a 630pm reservation for 4. It took about 20 mins + to get our drinks. We put in the appetizer orders and they were okay. She never came back for the main food order and when she did, she asked what we wanted for dessert and we never even ate yet. No offer of anything to tie us over on the house while we waited so long. Even bread or crackers would have been nice. I've never been to an Italian restaurant that doesn't serve bread. The pasta bolognese was good, but pricey and a small serving. We had to get up and pay at the bar, since she didn't come back again to check us out. We left at 845pm. I won't go back.

Ambiance is lovely. It was obvious the staff is still learning as our waitress could have been more attentive. The Arugula salad was too salty as was the Aracino. The large portion of pasta was barely bigger than the small for the price point. We had a party of 4 and we were unimpressed, especially at price point. Service should be elite and it wasn't

Service was excellent, Ambiance ok. Food for fine dining was disappointed, Smaller apps portions, Salads and entrees not enough dressings and presentation iof dessert poor . but didn't taste bad. drinks and wine high priced, no drafts and no Expresso machine... Table next to us said same and their dessert not good at all, pricy for quality. Realize it just opened but was not impressed.

Good food - atmosphere was nice - large dining area - staff were very pleasant and didn't rush us. The trout was delicious as well as the short ribs. Risotto appetizer very good.
