This used to be one of my favorite restaurants in our neighborhood, but it has been headed downhill lately. The prices skyrocketed, the serving sizes are decreasing, and the staff is not what they used to be. We used to love this place because of the neighborhood feel and wonderful food, but now it is just not worth it!! Just stay home and cook your own pasta
Pros: great lasagna
Cons: expensive, expensive, expensive!

Great casual neighborhood hangout that is perfect for to take the family or for an evening out. The best thing on the menu is the lasagne. The satiny layers of fresh pasta and bechemel sauce is outstanding. Pizza's are delicious as well! Nice selection of wines by the glass and prices are reasonable!

We were impressed with the unsalted bread and olive oil. It reminded me of our recent trip to Italy. I had the lasagna which they sell as "unlike any you have had before." This is true! It was layers of fresh pasta and beschemel sauce - it literally metled in your mouth. My husband had the spiral sausage and pasta. We did not hear the specials and wish we had - we wanted to have the ravioli that had been reccomended rather than the okay sausage and pasta. Wine selection by the glass was nice and the blue cheese salad with the basalmic reduction was delicious!
Pros: Great food, wine and atmosphere
Cons: price

I think the food is great here, but for some reason the price of the food increased about $5 a plate from last month. It used to be on the high end of reasonable, but bearable given the quality of the food. Now - $18 for an individual entree pizza? $20 for lasagna? Forget it. I won't be going back.
Pros: Good Food
Cons: Way Overpriced

I have always liked this place, even when they've run out of food I have still come back. We were in last week and noticed the price increase; the food is very good, but I think $20 for lasagna and spaghetti is a bit much. I will not be going back any time soon and I will be letting others know about the price increases.
Pros: Food is good, but not that creative
Cons: PRICE

I had a great dinner last night at Cafe Lago. It's a cosy, comfortable dining spot with an upscale feel. The meal and service were both excellent. We started with the Antipasto plate and I ordered a grilled sirloin in a balsamic reduction. It was amazing steak, but the reduction was a little sweet for my taste. They are known for their wood-fired pizzas, the lasagne and the gnocchi. All in all, you can't go wrong there. We were in a group of five and were seated right away on a Thursday. Parking isn't the easiest in that neighborhood, but we found a place a block away so it can't be that bad.
I'm looking forward to going back there again. Highly recommended.

I ate at Lago for the first, but certainly not the last, time tonight with a party of 10. We polished off several bottles of excellent wine, and enjoyed a nice assortment of antipasto before the entrees. "Homemade" lasagna doesn't even mean the same thing to me anymore, now that I've tasted this amazing version made from fresh, thin noodles, rich but fluffy ricotta, and the incredible red sauce. The ravioli, gnocchi, orecchiete and pizza eaters seemed equally happy. The service was friendly and just leisurely enough. Just about the only downside is the difficulty of parking.

I think I already reviewed Cafe Lago, but if you are wondering about their 25 for $25, we had a great time with this promotion. The meal was terrific and this program included a very nice pasta, a dessert and friendly service.
So that's a great choice and it is close in Montlake.

We went to Cafe Lago for my mothers birthday. I made reservations a week in advance. Despite that, we still had to wait for a table in a VERY hot restaurant. After being seated at a tiny table, we waited over an hour to receive our food. They were also out of one of the main dishes on the menu. The restaurant did not seem to care about the patrons. They barely acknowledged how long it took to get food, the fact that each person did not get their meal at the same time, and that the food showed up luke warm. This place is also very noisy, so don't expect to have a great conversation. All-in-all, I was very disappointed and will not return. Having lived here all my life, I have had much better Italian elsewhere. Dont bother, walk on by.
Cons: Parking, Slow Service, Limited Pasta Menu

Cafe Lago has two things going for it. Most importantly, it has great italian food and a top notch wait staff. It is also located right around the corner from us in Montlake which makes it easy to pop in. Their handmade pasta is unlike any I have had - light and perfectly cooked. The prices are pretty good given the quality and service. I took my favorite girls their for Valentine's Day last night - we loved it.
Next time you are near Montlake for dinner, I recommend stopping in.
