I have been going here for years because it is my favorite pizza in town (thin crusts and and good marinara sauce) but they have significantly raised prices - for the same price as pizza get the steak

Pike Beer and pizza tasting

Great gnocchi – Started with the Pomodori al Forno, which was amazing! Had the Gnocchi (add sausage) and the whole meal practically melted in my mouth! It was delicious! Friends had the pizza special, which was a white sauce and they said red would've been better. Also tried the white/oily sauce pasta item (there was only one) and it was ok. I think I scored with my picks.

The ravioli and lasagne were light, delicious, and amazing! Pomodori as antipasti were perfect.

A SERIOUS RIP OFF – I have never figured out how this place got its supposedly stellar reputation. I have lived in this neighborhood for a quarter century, and frequented Lago probably five times. Each time I hope to have a better experience, but each time I come away shaking my head. The food is really quite ordinary, just as the prices are extraordinary. Service is perfunctory unless you buy a lot of their overpriced table wine. I have had far better pizza in several locations in Seattle. Far better.
