by Luann Spennicchia on I've now had the opportunity to dine twice at Lavo. On our first visit, for a birthday gathering, the place was very crowded, on a Tuesday night. The group I had brought with me was larger than what I had made reservations for, but Lavo nevertheless accomodated us, with only a 15 minute wait. The food at Lavo is quite good. The garlic bread provided at the table was flavorful. The meatballs were succulent. The spaghetti carbonara was fantastic. Admittedly you can find pretty good Italian food at other places in the city, but if you want a combination of the top notch cuisine, with solid service and a nice ambiance that draws a good crowd, Lavo is the place to go. On my second visit, where I was seated right away without a reservation (got there early, around 6pm), the overall experience was similar. I recommend you go check it out.
by Cory F. on I like to come eat here when going and/or leaving a baseball game. Everything on their menu is great. And service has usually quite been good. Service only lacks once in a while because they are just so packed. For which you cannot hold it against THEM for being so popular! When somebody is in town visiting for the first time, this is one of many restaurants we are sure to hit and then when they come back, they ALWAYS want to be sure to hit 6 Feet Under again! It's only thanks to rateclubs! that I now know of the 6 Feet Under off of Howell Mill which is about 1/2 the distance for me :-)
