Cafe Lago - Seattle

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.

Absolutely delicious meal had. Excellent mezcal cocktail, amazing main, and super tasty apps. All around a wonderful culinary experience served up by friendly and knowledgeable staff. You can't ask for much more than that!! Many thanks Cafe Lago! You all were wonderful

Wow. I mean, WOW. Incredible food. Started off with the eggplant tapenade, had to get more crostini, because…umm 4–what is this, the Great Depression? That got us like 1/2 way done lol. I digress…jammy onions, fragrant eggplant, nice hard crunch crostini. Delicious. But the linguini stole the show. Mandolined garlic, perfect amount of heat, springy eggy noodles, with a coat-your-mouth white wine sauce that was begging for that charred-exterior bread to be dunked. And the clams? Oh man, steamed to perfection, I’ll bet using the sauce as the liquid. Also, bought a bottle of Pinot. Unnecessary, you could just get an entree and not ball out. Other patrons all felt like the 4 o’clock dinner at Perkins crowd, if ya catch my drift (old white people). But, that could just be because I went on a Wednesday.

Have been going here, for YEARS now, even when we'd just visit WA. They now require reservations, even on a rando Tuesday nite. It was pretty full too. Their food and drinks are always sensational, but their service, isn't the same. Not as warm and inviting, as before. (I will just blame the C-word. They even ran out of their complimentary house bread and a few other menu items this speaks volumes about the popularity, of this place, along with how supply and demand are going, in the world. I'm just grateful that Cafe Lago is still around and that their food, hasn't changed! Grazie!

Great atmosphere, friendly wait staff, amazing food. Can’t ask for anything else. I had the lasagna, best I’ve ever had without a doubt. For dessert we shared the flourless chocolate cake and roasted peaches, both were next level. Prices were reasonable and worth the visit.
