Quaint place with Chicago charm. I sat at the bar and had a couple drinks and baked clams. The offered generous pours and excellent flavor. The bartender, Paul, was friendly, funny, and seemed hard working. I also enjoyed good conversation with other patrons. It smelled so good in there I'm definitely going back for a full meal.
The neighborhood's best place to grab lunch or a beer after work. Shockingly reasonable prices for River North, delicious food, and high quality service. Everyone that works here is kind and makes you feel welcome. In the best way, Club Lago does not blend in with its surroundings.
Had lunch and my God it was delicious.
Excellent service and recommendation from Johnny. He even give us information and recommendations on places to visit in Chicago for views and cocktails.
The restaurant is retro decorated and cozy.
Food was yummy with generous portions. I even got a cannoli on the house as it was my birthday.
Me and my son walked in for a quick snack for him and a quick brew for me. We were immediately welcomed by multiple workers! Everyone here was super friendly and the atmosphere is warm. We got butter noodles for my boy, and he loved them. I can't wait to come back!
I've patronized Lago for years but yesterday I celebrated my 40th birthday there with my family. The food blew us away. The music and ambiance made it so special. Every single person there, from owner to staff to other diners seemed nothing short of family themselves. The best Chicago has to offer.
Nostalgic Chicago style Italian restaurant with attached bar. I had pasta and salad. I went with an Italian friend and he said it tastes just like his momma. Keep supporting these types of family owned restaurants before they disappear.
The sandwich was supposed to be the best with succulent Italian beef. It was ok to me. This place was one of the stops for the Chicago walking food tour.

This is the best restaurant for kids in Chicago. We brought a group of 3 girls under 10. The food was portioned by the half for them, they cut up our kids steak, and the owner was a joy - he memorized their names and played fun games with them. Thank you Guido.
Amazing Italian food, authentic place filled with history! Lovely people. Get the carbonara!
A small family place , good food , everyone minds his business. It’s perfect They got an old fashion toilet with the pull chain… wait,sorry, that’s a different restaurant. Back to Club Lago. Outstanding food and service. Was lucky enough to be there the first time they offered Carne Asada. I would not have expected in a million years , that the best representation of this dish would have been Club Lago! I promise this will be your favorite and most authentic Chicago dining experience
Club Lago is a unique, old-school, charming experience. The decor is somewhere from the 50's with random bits of 80's thrown in. The staff is laid-back and welcoming. The drinks are strong, generous and fairly priced. And the food... OMGosh the food. We started with the fried mushrooms and zucchini and they were super fresh, not overly cooked, lightly breaded and lighltly fried. So good! We also had veal parmesan that melted in our mouths and baked Mostaccioli that had the best "gravy" on it that we've ever experienced. The food is
incredible. We finished with a cannoli that was literally the stuff dreams are made of.
I highly recommend Club Lago. Bring your appetite and expect a charming, laid-back experience with the best food ever.
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!
