This place is very cute, loved the atmosphere and vibe. I sat on the bar and the bartender was super nice and personable! He gave me great wine recommendations. Food amount was ok. is it the best Italian food I’ve had? Probably not but good enough that I would come back.
We booked a table here for my parent's anniversary and I really appreciated how easy it was to make a reservation online. The atmosphere in the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous and the service was attentive and very helpful in giving recommendations.
We got a bottle of wine and split a selection of pizzas and pastas which all blew us away. The highlight of the meal though was the ravioli which had amazingly thin dough that held together a beautifully flavorful filling. Everyone also really enjoyed the wood fire pizza which was crisped to perfection.
The area is street parking only but it's pretty easy to find a spot within a block of the restaurant.
Cafe Lago has delicious wood fired pizza. They have specials on Mondays and pizzas are $10. They get booked pretty fast so its advisable to book a table for Monday a week earlier. I went in couple of times with my toddler who loves pizza. There margarita pizza with fresh mozzarella is a must try😋. Lots of vegetarian pizzas, antipasto, gnocchi options for $10…
Awesome Italian restaurant! Chinese broccoli and large bean appetizers were delicious to start, and our main dishes were perfectly cooked with flavorful sauces. Ravioli had fig in it (not a fan usually), and it went surprisingly well with other ingredients. Tried three cocktails; every single one was great. The restaurant was full on a Thursday night but the server was attentive and food came out in timely manner. We couldn’t find what we wanted for a dessert, but brioche was a okay choice to put a candle on (just a bit heavy😂) Overall, lovely place for any occasions and reservation is highly recommended.
Popular neighborhood restaurant with unusual Italian food. Reservations recommended, long wait time for tables on popular nights.
Great pizza and the lasagna was so lite because they make their own pasta. Small menu but the quality of the food makes it worth while. Now I can see why they have been in business for so many years.
Boutique pizzeria & Italian eatery in the heart of a residential community with 5 star service and offerings. Popular spot, beware of Monday night pizza night. Reservations recommended, or arrive right when they open. Takeout also available. Traditional Italian entrees with classic preparation and modern presentation. Parking can be challenging, as they are at the bottom of a steep hill (hard to walk to in wet/slippery conditions). Allow extra time to find parking and walk to location. Recommend!
Cafe Lago serves by far the best pizza and lasagna from anywhere in the world I have tried these foods, including Italy. Their baked tomatoes and eggplant appetizers are a must. Atmosphere is fantastic, but not for a low light romantic date. Service is excellent.
Wonderful neighborhood Italian joint with a deservedly outsized reputation. The drinks, whether from the cocktail list or your own preference, are well-made. The wine list has a great selection of both Washington and Italian wines, depending on your mood. The food is the real star. There’s a new gnocchi weekly, the lasagna is massive, and the pizzas are *chef’s kiss*. Make reservations if you want a decent table - some of the two tops can get a little cramped, especially by the window - but the attentive service more than makes up for the lack of space.
Amazing Italian restaurant. We came here on our first evening visiting the city. Everyone agreed the food was super delicious; we finished everything. Let's talk about the service: seated immediately, constant refreshes of cold water, plates as well, everyone was really friendly too. Highly recommended.
