OrderComfortable and friendly atmosphere. I used to go there a lot in the 90's when I lived in the neighborhood. The food is still as good today as it was back then. The chicken parmigiana and cannoli are amazing.
Club Lago is a gem! They're fantastic at customizing pasta dishes to your liking. The drinks are top-notch, and the pizza bread is a must-try—gooey, cheesy perfection. The friendly, welcoming staff make the experience even better. Perfect spot for a cozy meal or a group dinner! Can't wait to go back!
I've been going to Club Lago to two decades. I live out of state now but always make it a point to go for lunch or dinner when I'm in town. Great neighborhood spot. I highly recommend.
Traditional Italian in the cutest space. Feels like I'm in my grandmas kitchen! Everything we had was phenomenal and the service was impeccable. The owners came by to see how we were doing and just felt so welcomed. Not to mention, I have never eaten so much in my life it was so yummy!e
