Every delivery was perfectly timed, almost as if they had a sixth sense for when someone needed another piece. As a larger man, he carried each basket with the confidence and strength of someone clearly built for the job. Their commitment to fresh, warm bread made every meal just a little bit better.Calling their work "good" doesn't really do it justice. Their bread-carrying skills were impressive, their timing was excellent, and their positive attitude made the whole experience more enjoyable. If there were a Hall of Fame for serving bread, they would deserve a place in it without question. we left them a generous one dollar tip and told him not to spend it on one place

Our group was seated in an area near the bar, which provided an opportunity to sit, stand and mingle. We had a variety of appetizers that our host pre-ordered. It included a Caprese Neapolitan-style thin-crust pizza. It was very good with crispy crust topped with fresh mozzarella, fresh basil and drizzled with olive oil. The truffle fries with aioli were very good. The fries were crispy and topped with parmesan and herbs, and a creamy garlic mayonnaise. Bruschetta was good, nothing special. The drink menu was extensive and there was a variety of cocktails and wines. Service was very good . If in the downtown Barrington area, I would return.

We began with the…read moreMediterranean octopus and the whipped ricotta bruschetta, and both were absolutely delicious--the perfect way to start the meal. For our main courses, the Lago chopped salad was fresh and flavorful, and the Mishima Wagyu New York Strip was cooked perfectly and incredibly tender. Dessert did not disappoint either. Fabio's tiramisu was rich and authentic, while the classic cheesecake was the perfect sweet ending. The cocktails were just as impressive--the dirty martinis were excellent, followed by a great espresso after dinner and a refreshing limoncello dessert wine to finish the evening. The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere all came together to create a fantastic experience. The vibe is warm, inviting, and upscale without feeling pretentious. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend Lago by Fabio to anyone looking for an exceptional meal.

The table server was kind and polite but could not cover for the slow cook. I left my coworkers who opted to wait it out.

Again, it was fine, it just wasn't extra special. It's worth noting that we were there on a Friday afternoon for lunch service and we sat outside but we were also there for a wedding rehearsal lunch and nothing about the experience felt special other than the occasion and the people we came with. I ordered the Aragosta & Gamberi which intrigued me for a number of a reasons. As a non-seafood eater for most my life I'm trying new things. I haven't had lobster but once before and very rarely had risotto so a lobster/shrimp risotto sounded divine. Again, the dish was fine. Nothing outstanding to me. The lobster did not have much flavor - to be clear, this may be completely normal! I don't have much to compare it to, but it seemed light on lobster meat and flavor. The service was also slow despite it not appearing to be busy (we sat outside which was mostly empty, I did not go inside so it's entirely possible it was busy inside). Drink orders took 20 minutes or so to be delivered. We also had 1 food order that was incorrect; however, to their credit they told us to keep the incorrect dish and quickly replaced it with the correct order. Nothing off-putting about this place, just nothing that struck me as super special.

Food: We ordered the muscles, rigatoni Alla vodka and a hanger steak they had on special. Everything was very good, fresh and I loved that the pasta was homemade. We will definitely be back!!!

This place is how old school pizza places are done! RC liters waiting and ready to go, thin crispy crust, nostalgia inside and great signage and to top it all off friendly "shoot the sh*t" service that makes you feel like you're a neighbor next store. My favorite is the chicken Alfredo pizza! Tonight, I had the primo by the slice and I am not a fan of mushrooms or sausage but I decided to give it a whirl.... Wow - sausage is bussin' and the shrooms were nice and thin with no overpowering bites! This blows any of the places around, palatine, Hoffman, Inverness, out of the water! Run, do not walk....

Our meals, table of four, were delivered promptly and the presentation was great. My wife had the egg plant parmigiana and I had the meat ravioli with bolognese sauce. The only discount on my overall rating was the raviolis were skinny. Seriously the thinnest meat raviolis on record. On the plus side, the sauce was so plentiful, it could have covered another platter of ravs. My wife teased that I should have gotten a go box for the sauce. All in a delightful evening. Music was fine, but just a tad loud for my liking. Not a complaint, just a comment. We live minutes away. We had not been for perhaps 10 years. We won't wait that long to return!
