  Crazy good Italian food.
  
  All the apps were outstanding and their signature meatball was killer. It was the size of a softball and plenty to share.
  
  Steaks were good too and we split the truffle gnocchi. The flavor of the gnocchi was rich, savory and flavorful. There must have been garlic in it, as I kept eating when I needed to stop.
  
  All was amazing, service was good. Totally check it out.

  The food is great and nice ambience but unfortunately we had to leave early because the rude waitress didn’t even give us a few minutes to order dessert. We asked her for a few minutes and a few minutes later she came back with the check! Practically forcing us to leave when we actually wanted to order more! Also had ordered appetizer and they forgot! Had to ask for Parmesan cheese 3 Times to different people before they finally brought it! Very bad experience and on my bday :(

  Great food and hip ambience. The service was outstanding and the desserts are amazing. After dinner you can burn off all those calories in the club.

  I have looked forward to going to Lavo for the past year. Made reservations months ago to get to the front door and told that "I made a mistake and did not confirm my confirmation"really? I need to confirm a confirmation? We ate in the bar area in hopes of a table coming available. We spent $200 in food and beverages, then we were told a table in the main room was available.however we would need to spend an additional $200 to be seated. On a few occasions I glanced a look into the main room and was frankly disappointed with the dining show. It was a haphazard effort by a few performers, mostly making themselves available for photos for bachelorette party goers. In summary, the food was fine however the customer service experience and atmosphere was beyond terrible. Simply the worst experience in customer service I have ever experienced at a restaurant. Pretentious and Self serving. If you are intent on goingI would go quickly, I cannot imagine they will be around much longer.

  What the heck is wrong with you people you overbooked the event 09-23-17. The entrance to the club was disorder and chaos. One guard I overheard said " I don't need a reason to not let you in" and the people had their tickets and didn't do anything wrong to justify the actions taken by the guard. Simply what was happening was people with tables were top priority ( no vip line) even though they were NOT next in line. This caused people who were next, to be physicaly pushed to the curb, then priority walks in and a scramble to fill that gap caused people to try and regain their spot. Honestly to crowded, poor handling of the line, but the bartenders and the male worker in the bathroom were professional and polite. MY MAIN ISSUE WAS THE CHAOTIC SCENE OUTSIDE TO ENTER, a and THE CROWDING INSIDE. From Miami, Panama City, Prague, Amsterdam, Atlantic City, and Chicago there was never a issue such as this.

  Let me say that Lavo is a must while in New York. When you are dining at this level, this is as good as it gets. All hammers are hitting the right notes like a symphony.
  
  Starting with the complimentary appetizers. Don't get me wrong this was an expensive meal. The bread in the foil was heated and properly buttered and seasoned. The marinara was excellent. The olives had an oil and Parmesan dressing. The hummus was fresh the pickled cauliflower was excellent.
  
  We started off with the eggplant Parmesan. Off the chart.
  
  We had the chicken Parmesan as the entree. Thinly pressed out, with a light breading. Perfectly seasoned with a garlicky background. The cheese was a thin layer melted with a wonderful light cheesy flavor.
  
  The tiramisu was heavenly, with real lady fingers for a garnish.

  Food is good but always the same. I wished the menu varied a bit from time to time. Music can be too loud during dinner sometimes.

  I was thinking of going here for my bachelorette party have dinner and maybe after go to the club area. But after reading these reviews I'm confused. I will not tolerate anyone being rude to me or my friends. But My sister went here maybe 3 months ago and she actually recommended this place. she talked about how great the food was and how nice everyone was. 😫

  Cute place.nice staff.however, drinks are eh. I don't mind paying for a drink that has the liquor in it to back it up. They also allow punk a$$ spoiled brats in who are.you know the story of "friend of friend uncle brother sister mother of the owner.". Long story short, lil tool had an alcoholic moment inside the establishment and took a cheap shot to my friend. He's lucky his daddy pays for security to babysit him and keep him out of trouble the tool needed 4-5 security guards to walk him to his ride so he wouldn't get jumped. Other than that negative Nancy, I would go back..if I had to.

  I've been here many times before, but highly doubt I will ever go back. I went there one day after work with five colleagues, the blonde bartender had such a bad attitude and was so rude, it was enough to make my colleagues and I never want to come back. I left embarrassed that I even suggested the place.

  Had lunch with a large group. Only giving two stars because the food was good - not the best. Horrible service. Sat us 20 minutes later than our scheduled reservation and brought us to a table that was not set up for the right amount of people so we turned around and went back to the bar area to wait again. Spent the entire lunch with the elbows of bus boys hurriedly swiping things off the table without even asking if we were done yet. We only saw our waiter once when we ordered and once when he took our glasses. Asked the bus boy to kindly get our waiter so we could order drinks and that never happened. Asked for an extra plate and that never happened. Apps were cold. I don't think we were being demanding. All of a sudden another waitress comes over to elbow me in the head as she cleans the table but never let us know that she was maybe our new server? Never had a chance to order anything else - we spent so much time waiting for service that we ran out of time before having to head back to work. We assume there must have been a shift change but don't really know for sure since no one let us know. We would have been better off serving ourselves. Was thinking of having a party here in the near future and have taken this place off my list.

  Great place! Awesome Sunday party. Came here with friends for my husbands Belated Birthday celebration. Brian, the manager, took great care of us. Customer Service is everything. Plus the food and drinks were great! Tuna tartare and Oreos are a must! Love u Lavo. Will definitely be back!

  This place is really nice! The wait staff actually gets things done in a timely fashion, unlike most hookah lounges you tell them your coals need changing and you have to do that like 3 more times. The atmosphere is cool, The hookah is good. As we were leaving the owner stops us and gives us a free drink, which I thought was really nice. The belly dancer was good also! I was basically waiting to see it, Will be back again really liked it here.
