   We've been to Lavo before and have had great dining experiences. We went on New Year's Eve and did not have a very good dining experience. Our waiter seemed overwhelmed and service was not the best. We had to ask for drinks and our food. I ordered the lobster diablo and it looked like it had been sitting a while before it was brought to me. The food was cold and pasta was under cooked. Lavo isn't cheap, so you expect the best.

   Gladys provided excellent service. I came with three of my girlfriends and it was all our first time at Lavo. We loved the atmosphere, the food, the service and the DJ was a nice surprise. He was right next to the booth we were at and played some of our favorites. From the garlic bread, pizza, carbonara & penne allá vodka… and the couple of different cocktails we had… we were very happy with our whole dining experience. Gladys was even kind enough to take some photos for us even though we know she must have been so busy as it was packed and a Saturday night. Please thank & acknowledge her wonderful service. I’m a manager in hospitality as well so I know when someone deserves the recognition. Thank you for the great experience, Lavo!

   Lavo offers a unique take on the classic Bolognese, and while it’s not your typical rendition, it’s absolutely delicious. The sauce is rich and flavorful, with a slightly different texture that sets it apart from the traditional version. The depth of flavors, combined with perfectly cooked pasta, creates a dish that’s both comforting and exciting. It’s not what you might expect, but it’s definitely a must-try for anyone looking for a fresh twist on an Italian favorite!

   I booked in advance a table for three. We got seated at a table that was clearly meant for two people. I asked to be seated somewhere else. They said the next available booth is in two hours. We ended up moving to sit in the bar area because there’s no way that the three of us could have our drinks or appetizers and our meals at the table at the same time. The food was decent, we asked for no bacon on one of the pastas and of course it came out with bacon. Therefore, our steak went cold as we waited for the pasta to come out. The dessert was very good. We got the hazelnut tart. Our server, Michael was great.  overall I will not be coming back. It is overpriced. The food was average, and the seating was not comfortable and claustrophobic.

   Waitress did not/could not explain the correct proportions of the food and so we over ordered. Disappointed that a restaurant of this caliber could not deliver good service

   This was my second time at LAVO and brought guests as well. Service was still exquisite and the food was top notch. No complaints of notes. It’s not cheap but sometimes you have to pay for nice things.

    Stop looking and just book your reservation. We enjoyed every aspect of our dinner and would recommend this for any occasion. Great for a date night or family dinner. Portions are large so you are going to get a lot for your money and it's high quality to boot.
