It was a Tues. Evening. Place was very quite. I ordered lasagna. When served, it was cold in the middle. Sent it back. Must have put it in the microwave and dumped more sauce on it. Husband had scallops. He said they were good. Place could use a good cleaning!! We are locals and will not be back. Very overpriced for what you get.

I had dinner with my family about a month ago at Lago Trattoria. The food was okay, we ate and asked for the check. We paid the bill and left tips in cash . Few days later I saw in online banking that they charged me 20 $ over the total price. I tried to call them to see why this happened and ask for the return, they were rude on the phone, said that they are busy. I called another time in different hours, they said that they will pass this info to bookkeeper and call me back. I never heard from them ever since, I called again but they just don't pick up. I don't understand how do people just steal money from your card and act like this is normal? What if they decided to charge me 100 $ instead of 20$? Horrible place, I would not recommend it to anyone.

Food was nice, service at the time of the dinner was fine as well. We found out the day after that our credit card was overcharged extra $20. We had a $127 bill, paid with card and left $15 tip in cash. Our card was charged $147, $20 of which were unauthorized.
We tried to call them multiple times to address this issue, but every time there was a reason why they couldn’t proceed. At first they were busy during dinner hours, then there is no bookkeeper, then nobody answers or calls back.
If you commit a mistake (should I call it fraud) stay accountable for your actions!

I ordered the special short ribs but it was nothing but FAT! I asked to order something else, a pasta dish which was delicious. The owner would NOT remove the $45 00 charge for the Fatty short Ribs. The waitress ( who was an excellent server) told me I had to talk to the chef / owner. I followed the waitress back to the kitchen where the chef told me I had to pay for both dinners because if I looked up in wikipedia it would say Short ribs are the fattest meat. Well, he should described the fatty meat on his menu. Due to his rude behavior he has lost our business forever!

Horrible dining experience and poor food quality. Went for the filet mignon which they were out of. The waiter suggested the "special"- beef shortrib saying it was a huge meaty portion. We decided to split it between the two of us and ordered drinks while we waited. Drinks were good. We were served a sad wilted Ceasar salad followed by the shortrib. Not at all as described. There was almost no meat- mostly gelatinous fat and bone. Let the waiter know. He told the owner chef who did nothing. No one even acknowledged the complaint after that. To add insult to injury things were very overpriced for what you were given. The "shortrib" was $45. Total bill over $125 and left hungry. Very poor service and definitely not as portrayed online as a fine dining experience.

Went to newport Vermont to witness the total eclipse. After the event decided to wait on line for this establishment to open at 5 pm. 7 of us were the 1st on line. Eventually the line swelled to about 25 people. The door opened and we entered. The hostess ask us how many. We replied 7. She nastily told us she could only accommodate 6. So we volunteered to split into 2 groups of 3 and 4 guests. She then replied “I thought you said 7”. A man appeared from the kitchen and reiterated that they could not accommodate us; but we could sit at the bar. Patrons on line behind us were appalled at our treatment and expressed that they neither had or needed a reservation. The 7 of us are BLACK professionals from a firefighter, nurse, software engineer to a wealthy businessman. We collectively exited wishing to neither spend our money there nor eat the food they were going to serve. Thank you to all the patrons who spoke up on our behalf. May God bless you all and THE STAFF THAT DISCRIMINATED AGAINST US.Wayne, A generous tipper from Long Island NY.

Perfect place for a dinner date! They were able to assist me in surprising my wife during valentine’s day. They highly recommend reservations but walk ins are also welcomed. The server we had was nice and able to answer the bestseller of the resto. Parking space available at the back, street side or by the bank across.they accept credit/debit.

We have been dining @ Lago's for 15+ years & tonight we were wondering why the chef/owner doesn't check in w/ the guests when he's able to? We were the last 2 top @8:00(surprise?) We feel the service is somewhat lacking compared to what it once was. We were always offered fresh parmesan & ground black pepper back in the day. It's the little things that matter! We feel that this might not be our go to for a nice meal out any longer!
Parking: Can park directly across the street!

Food was good. Loved the caprese salad and dessert. Draft beer lines tasted a bit dirty and steak was a bit tough.

Nice Italian restaurant with creative offerings including wild boar and duck. They also serve a vegan ravioli, which was tasty. Drinks are great! They work hard to provide a good meal, but we found it was just short of excellent, but can't quantify why.
Vegetarian options: They have a good vegan ravioli, which is a bonus in this town as not many places have any offerings for vegans. A gnocci dish looked vegetarian too.
