the Pacific -- authentic cuisine
of Milano, Como and Stresa served up in the most California of
settings,
with a patio overlooking the Third Street Promenade. Don't
miss the Ossobuco alla Milanese."
"Northern Italy's Lake region provides the inspiration for this lively dining establishment frequented by Hollywood's movers and shakers." ________________________
________________________ ![]() "Lago
has remained, in its
10 years in existence, a regular dining choice for such Hollywood
denizens
as Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, Jerry Bruckheimer, Dustin Hoffman,
Michelle
Pfeiffer and Oliver Stone. The unusual menu might be part of
the
draw."
"Locanda del Lago is right across the street from the AMC 7. It's got a great menu featuring Northern Italian cuisine, an excellent wine list, and the service is great." "Smack-dab
in the center of the hustle
and bustle of the Third Street Promenade, you'll find the tranquil
refuge
of Locanda del Lago. This chic, authentic Italian bistro
specializes
in delicacies from the Lake Como area."

________________________ Restaurant Newsletter ________________________ "Casually classy... the authenticity of the place is clearly one of its assets." ________________________ "Don't be in a hurry because the waiters aren't. They cheerfully bring heaping plates of a featherlight vitello tonnato or whole wheat pappardelle tossed with cabbage, potatoes and cheese. The patio is good for 3rd Street Promenade people watching, but the action is inside." ________________________ ________________________ ![]() This corner trattoria that
reminds you why Italians are the world’s best cooks. Locanda del Lago (Trattoria
of the Lake) is the only restaurant in Los Angeles that specializes in cuisine
from Northern Italy's Lombardy region. Both the co-owner and executive chef were
born in Milan, worked in Bellagio, and share a passion for food that hasn’t
waned since this warm, friendly restaurant opened more than more than 14 years
ago.

On sunny days there’s no better place in L.A. to people-watch than at the trattoria’s outdoor patio, savoring a glass of chianti while tucking into the house specialty -- Ossobuco alla Milanese, a veal shank slow-cooked in white wine and vegetables, topped with traditional gremolata (a parsley, garlic, and lemon zest mixture) and served with saffron risotto. Other outstanding dishes include the butternut squash risotto with seared scallops, and the Tagliatelle Lago, house-made tagliolini tossed with pink trout and escarole in a thyme-infused white-wine sauce.
"Wine list -- a vast and intelligent selection." (from
Luigi
Veronelli's The Best Italian Restaurants)

"A respite from the chaos of the Promenade… perfectly crafted pastas… a destination all its own." "Wonderful, authentic specials... a unique Lake Como theme... attentive service from adorable waiters."

"A
serene refuge from the commercial
chaos of the Third Street Promenade -- but with ringside seats from
which
to watch it. The menu combines Italian standards with the
less familiar
dishes of the Lake Como Region.

"Locanda del Lago is cosmopolitan and modern, but with old world grace and warmth, just like the Northern Italian Lombardy region it hails from. It is elegant, yet totally beach-comfortable featuring distinctive Northern Italian foods and specialties from Milano, Bellagio and Lake Como." ________________________ "A rare Southland restaurant concentrating on the cuisine of Bellagio and the lake region of Northern Italy, Locanda del Lago is a warm and welcome respite. As exotic as it is delicious, the food at Locanda del Lago is among the city's very best."
