Asparagus season is almost over, but it’s certainly going out with a bang.

Our Insalata di Asparagi is a celebration of one of spring’s greatest gifts, proving that a simple preparation can be just as sensational as a complicated one. Lightly blanched asparagus is tossed with olive oil, shallots, and lemon before being served over a bed of whipped ricotta. Fresh, vibrant, and just a little indulgent, it’s only around for another week or two. Hope to see you soon 🌱

Linguine Arrabbiata has returned to our menu is this seasonally inspired interpretation from Chef Lauren. Meaning “the angry one” in Italian, arrabbiata gets its heat (and its temper!) from spicy nduja sausage. Chef Lauren tempers our version somewhat with a bit of cream, escarole, lemon, and capers. See you soon!

Summer is here, and so is cocktail season 🍹

A peel of lemon here, a vigorous shake there, or perhaps a careful stir before a splash of soda. Every cocktail on our menu follows its own path to the glass, from timeless classics to Lago originals. Ask to be seated at the bar for a front-row seat. Cheers! 🥂

A new dessert has joined the menu! Meet our Zuppa Inglese 🍋

Often considered a close relative of tiramisu, Zuppa Inglese is a dark horse of of Italian ‘dolci’ that we‘re thrilled to offer this summer. Our seasonal interpretation begins with sponge cake soaked in rhubarb juice, layered with poached rhubarb and lemon curd mascarpone. Lemon-rosemary syrup completes the palette with an herby and tart finish. To those who’ve never tried it: you’re in for a serious treat!
