Lago (Bellagio, Las Vegas)

My husband and I loved our time here! Front row patio seat can’t be beat. The weather and temp was perfect. Our food was delicious. I was surprised they didn’t serve bread though bring an Italian restaurant. Focaccia was on menu but I expected your typical basket of bread and butter. I loved the lasagna, sauce and ricotta was perfect. My husband loved chicken Parmesan!! Truffle fries are a must and our chocolate dessert was the perfect finish. We will be back. Highly recommend. Our reservation was on a Thursday at 9:30 pm and the outdoor patio was perfect.

A beautiful restaurant that takes advantage of its location but doesn’t truly deliver yummy food. I was super excited to place a reservation here with the fountain views. After dining here I don’t think I’d come back. Took forever to take our order, mind you outside dining has a time constraint. No bread on arrival you must order some. I recommend the focaccia which was soft and came with a side of butter and the whipped ricotta which came with toasted bread. For mains my wife ordered spaghetti which had a good flavor but an odd texture. I ordered Eggplant Milanese it was just okay and they put too much lemon and too many greens on top not enough cheese.

We went to LAGO for breakfast and loved it. It’s a beautiful little restaurant with amazing views of the front of the hotel and the fountains. The coffee came with these adorable stirring sticks coated in candied brown sugar — such a small touch, but it added the perfect amount of sweetness. The American breakfast and the eggs Benedict were both delicious, and we shared a tiramisu that tasted exactly like the ones we remember having in Italy. Our servers were warm and friendly, which made the experience even better. Safe to say we’ll definitely be going back before we leave!

Lago is located right inside the Bellagio, and it’s definitely a nice dinner spot if you’re in Vegas. The ambience is really good, and the views are a big part of the experience. If you get the right spot on the patio, you can get a really nice view of the Strip and even the Bellagio fountains, which makes it even better. Another nice part is that the casino is right outside, so it’s easy to continue the fun after dinner. Personally, I think this place is much better for dinner than daytime. For food, we tried a few things and really enjoyed them. The Fritto Misto and Octopus from the antipasti were both really good. For contorni, the truffle fries were honestly perfect. We also tried the Margherita pizza, and that was perfect too. For the entrée, we had the Lobster Risotto, which was really good as well. Overall, it’s a great spot for a date night, especially if you want a nice Vegas dinner with a good vibe and view. Reservation recommended. Not sure if they entertain a walk in!

My family and I had an amazing dinner on our last night in Vegas at Lago. It was our first time here and we will definitely be back! Our table had a fountain view and it was right by the window! I think it was pure luck we were seated here. We made a reservation, but I had asked about outdoor seating and it was fully booked out for the night due to large parties, so I asked for a inside fountain view instead and we got seated at the perfect table for a party of 4. The food was incredible and we loved our waiter as well. He was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered the focaccia bread to start off with and had a few drinks. I ordered a hugo spritz and it was pretty good! For our entrees, I ordered the special, which was truffle pasta. I’ve always wanted to try truffle even though it’s expensive (as is everything in vegas lol but it was $75). I had steak for lunch and I don’t like seafood so it was the perfect option for me. I thought it was some of the best pasta I’ve had!! For dessert, we ordered the tiramisu and it was pretty good. I’ve had better homemade tiramisu before, but it was still worth it. I felt like there was more whipped cream than the actual tiramisu. The ice cream that came with it was great as well. We also got lucky and watched the Air Force Thunderbirds fly over the strip at 7:20pm. This made dinner a lot special! Had no idea this was happening until the day of. I also felt underdressed in shorts, so I would dress up more next time. Overall, Lago has great views, drinks, and food. We will be back!
