Great food and beautiful location. Cozy atmosphere. The host and waiter were kind. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars for the service was because we realized afterwards that they never applied our gift cards, so we had to call and sort it out later, but the manager was kind and helpful.
We went on a beautiful sunny day to enjoy not only a good meal but also a nice view. We were served rustic bread with fresh grated parmesan cheese, olives and olive oil. The bread was fresh and tasty. I had the signature Margarita which was large and very good. My husband had a sweet ice tea, which he said was also very good. We ordered Arugula side salads with gorgonzola cheese, candied pecans and a light vinaigrette. When the salads came it was leaf lettuce, not Arugula. But that wasn't a big deal. They salads were cold and the lettuce was very fresh. I ordered the Alfredo Penne and Parmesan Cream sauce (with no added meat). It was good. My husband ordered the NY Strip Steak entrée. None of the main entrées come with salads, which is why we ordered the Arugula side salad (that wasn't Arugula). His steak wasn't hot and it wasn't as he ordered it, which was medium rare - it was full on rare. It was very difficult to cut because the fascia was still on it. That should have been removed before cooking. The entree also came with a parmesan and herb-stuffed artichoke. The artichoke was so fibrous that it was difficult to cut. The meal before the tip was $91 which we knew it would be a bit on the high side. But we certainly expected a much better steak entree than what was served. Would we go again? Maybe. It's a beautiful and rustic atmosphere and sits right on the lake. We would likely stick with the pasta entrées.
Absolutely amazing meal as always, definitely my favorite spot to go for a dinner out, the specials and all the food I have tried never disappoints, highly recommend to anyone!!

We took my great aunt out for her 95th birthday last night, and I'm so glad we picked Lago. Though it was a busy night, the care and attention of the staff and manager made everything so special. The food was delicious. "Problems" (that weren't really problems at all, like one of our appetizers not being available right away) were resolved with such speed and generosity that we were shocked. When we ordered my aunt a piece of cake to take home - she was too full from the delicious appetizers and entrees to eat any more - they brought it out in the to-go container with a candle and a song and insisted on taking it off our bill. The ambience was beautiful and the food and drinks were excellent across the board. Our server was attentive and responsive and very patient. We'll definitely be coming back for more family occasions. Thank you for making my aunt's night so enjoyable, Lago!

We had an amazing meal and experience at Lago! Chicken Marsala was magical and Penne Alla Vodka special was wonderful as well! Staff could not have been kinder, atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. Will be back!
Being in central New Hampshire - an appropriate "nice dinner out" can sometimes be challenging, especially later in the evening. After a very long day of much travel, we happened up Lago as a recommendation on Yelp. Why the heck not? Amiright?First, for a Thursday night, the place was packed. I honestly thought we were getting turned away when we walked in... but no, the hostess pulled a miracle and nearly immediately got us seated. Our waitress, bless her heart I can't remember her name, even though we walked in so close to closing... she greeted us with a smile. I was borderline in tears I was so exhausted and she took the entire experience and turned it on a dime. Cheery, smiles, and a personality as big as the entire restaurant. Our drinks hit the table within minutes. They never ran dry. The martini was on-point and just what I needed to settle and tie-up the ends of the day!We started with the Tuna Tartare w/ avocado mousse. Lord. I still think about that constantly. ON POINT. For dinner my partner had the Orecchiette Sausage Broccolini (albeit, I feel like his was asparagus vs broccoli? Maybe I'm mistaken). I had the Piccata. Both meals were absolutely delightful. Beautifully plated and served piping hot... I can't say enough wonderful things about the entire experience.The staff, drinks, price-point, ambiance, and food was absolutely perfect and I can't sing their praises enough. Thanks to everyone at Lago for a wonderful experience, we'll look forward to visiting again soon!

Our hotel was across the street and we came here for dinner. I ordered the bolognese and it was fantastic! We had a great waiter, ordered a pretzel app type thing and it was just ok but glad we tried it. Their drinks are great as well. Can't go wrong with this place, great vibes all around.
