Wow, lots of people in a tiny space. Meal options seemed a bit unsophisticated. I ordered spaghetti out of shear boredom with the menu. Lots of large tables around me and could barely hear the people talking in my own party. More

This is a review on both the club and restaurant. First off we had to wait half hour to be seated even though we had dinner reservations and our dinner was already PREPAID due to a selected menu for our dinner party. Not a good sign to start off the night when they charge over $100 per plate. The food... More

Lavo is a restaurant with a great atmosphere. The food was ok, nothing spectacular, to NYC standards at least. The service was excellent and it was an ideal spot to start the night before heading down to the club and party it out. The atmosphere is warm and trendy. More

I'll start by making it clear that this is a review on the club as I did not dine in the restaurant. I visited the club on a Saturday night. It does not have that cool NY vibe I was looking for mainly due to the crowd, who reminded me of the type of people who go to Mahiki's in... More

The people know very well how important is the good service and what is the meaning of Italian food. It is a stylish and trendy restaurant with nice music and people and you never regret for such a selection. More

NUMBER ONE IF YOU HATE ON LAVO YOUR JUST A HATER! A hater is anyone is someone who hates on you because they will never achieve the level of success that you will be able to attain. That's what plenty of people and other businesses are doing to this Vegas gem that's now a staple of Midtown NYC. The business... More

Although the food was excellent, the restaurant was overcrowded and full of transient guests. This is not a place New Yorkers frequent. More

Probably am just not hip enough to appreciate the atmosphere, but I'd rather be able to hear conversation at the table than the in-house DJ's music. The music selection was really great, just too loud, but understand that's the vibe of the restaurant. Despite our 8pm reservation on a Thursday night, we waited almost an hour to be seated and...
