Back in Michigan for a couple of days so we decided to give Lago Cucina another shot one last time…read more Well to our surprise they went back and added the delicious harvest salad back on the menu, that's a giant plus. Our wait person Paige was very pleasant and prompt. And they went back to serving the bread warm and with a nice dipping olive oil. That's another plus. They have also added some nice specials and the food was all delicious and hot. Because it was a very cold evening in Michigan. So that's why I changed my review and we will be back to Lago Cucina I'm glad they are moving back in that direction. By the way they're having their Sunday brunch again but you need to check for dates and times. Thank you Lago Cucina for listening.

First time here, was not aware of this restaurant in MacRay Harbor…read more Service was good, Food was good, Happy Hour was great. Prices were reasonable. The calamari were strips with a light lemon sauce. Mushroom Arancini was a nice change from the usual arancini with red sauce. Truffle fries good portion, tasty but not very truffle-ly. The entree Shrimp Bucatini Primavera was the winner. Fresh with a good mix of veggies and shrimp, light sauce and great flavor. Good cocktail and wine selections. Decent ambiance for a Marina restaurant. Saw a number of tables having the Happy Hour pizzas that looked pretty good. I will return.

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. It's cute inside. We started with the mozzarella fritta, which was absolutely delicious! The marinara sauce accompanying it was bursting with flavor. However, the dinner salad was a bit underwhelming. It only had simple toppings like tomato, red onion, and cucumbers. I opted for the house dressing, which was supposed to be a blend of oil, vinegar, and Italian spices. To my dismay, despite vigorous shaking, all the seasonings remained mostly at the bottom of the plastic cup, with little to no vinegar. It was okay, but not particularly impressive. For the main course, I ordered the baked Italian combo. The lasagna was good, though a bit overcooked and with some crunchy bits. The chicken parmigiana was also tasty. However, the meat ravioli that came with it was a major disappointment. It tasted like a plain noodle with a large amount of unflavored meat. To sweeten the deal, we had crème brûlée for dessert. It was enjoyable, but a bit peculiar. Half of it was piping hot, while the other half was ice cold. Despite the oddity, the flavor was still great. Overall, the food was okay, and I might return to this place in the future.

To broaden our experience, my friend and I split everything we ordered. Dinner was AMAZING....5/5 APPETIZER: "Burrata Camponata" A mound of this heavenly Eggplant Relish, severalthick slices of fresh Burrata oozing cheese, and a big mound of imported, freshly shaved Prosciutto off of the special shaver that sits in the dining room for the dishes that require this beautifully seasoned ham. Absolutely delicious appetizer! The basket of fresh Italian bread and olive oil for dipping was put to use with our glasses of Chianti and then enjoyed very soon as an olive oil topped bread base for our well-placed trio of this gorgeous appetizer. Next, for the salad, we chose to split the "Charred (on a hot coal grill !) Romaine on the grill Caesar Salad" with an anchovie garnish The perfectly seasoned croutons were made in-house, and so was their most divine (BEST I've ever had) Caesar dressing! We split 2 Entrees: Pasta Carbonara created in the imported, authentic, giant Parmesan wheel table-side Espresso-encrusted Prime cut sirloin steak Med Rare with roasted redskins and fresh, petite green beans. It was the most tender cut of beef with huge flavor, made even more so from the grill. It was perfection, simple fare, highest quality of ingredients, all prepared and presented beautifully. The staff were always attentive, though not smothering, and genuinely friendly with a ready smile. DESSERT: We split "heaven-in-your-mouth" x2 : a piece of Dubai Chocolate cheesecake and a serving of the Tiramisu. "Ecstasy," is all we could say as the perfect wrap-up to this gourmet trip to Italy Mangiabevi, you haunt me daily until I return.

Our dinner started with easy to make reservations for four for a Friday night. Once arrived we were promptly seated and introductions made, Annie was our server(and more). I had note seen the menu in over a year so I personally was delighted to see plenty of ocean going features, specifically the grilled Octopus, shellfish and more. Before the food everyone agreed on a drink. Everyone tried something different than the others. Drinks included a Chocolate Martini, Limoncello(homemade) like grandma made it) Martini, Tanqueray and Tonic and Makers Mark Old fashioned for me. Everyone agreed the drinks were just right. Annie was then asked to bring out some Grilled Octopus. A HUGE and thick long leg was then served. DELICIOUS! Dinner was ordered with some questions(by me). I was intrigued by the Black Linguine. Basically a fruit de Mare or shellfish but with white wine. I asked for a subscription to a spicy red pasta sauce, not available. However, my friends wife chose this and said it was delicious. My friend and also my opted for the table side Carbonara. Basically a long sting pasta with a cheese wheel at the table. The cheese gets heated up and then scraped and put into the pasta. Our cheese scraper was entertaining and put on a nice show. For me, I decided on the Branzino, which was served whole but deboned at the table, with sauteed spinach. From the first bite, I was in heaven. We then had a second round of drinks, the girls switched things up and went for Cosmos, us guys repeated what we had earlier. Lastly, we just had to have dessert and were we glad we did. Both couple opted to share with one another. Our friends chose the Profiterole which they said was delicious. However, everyone loved our choice; Nicciola Mousse Tart. This is a MUST get. I can't even describe it other than I should have gotten one for the road. This place also had some soft entertainment, keyboard player. So glad we made the journey here. Highly recommend it!

It was, hands down, the best experience we've had at a restaurant in a long time. We are very choosy with where we go out to eat these days because the service always seems rushed, the food quality doesn't match the price on the menu and feel like we're just a table to turn instead of a valued guest. This was most certainly NOT the case at Testa Barra. Our server, Bradley, was wonderful. He was friendly and personable, gave fantastic food/cocktail recommendations, and was extremely knowledgeable about the spirit selections and food preparations. The atmosphere was elevated and polished, yet relaxed. My husband had the smoked old fashioned (love the table side service) and I thoroughly enjoyed the dirty martini and refreshing "garden of Eden" cocktails. Calamari for starter was crispy on the outside and perfectly tender, cooked just right. The Ragu Conchiglie and Barramundi were deliciously comforting and flavorful. We truly enjoyed our evening from start to finish and will most definitely return.

We will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend! Service was amazing! Definitely will come back and get the same server to our table! As for the ambiance, it's somewhat outdated.

There was three of us that came to celebrate a birthday on Saturday 1-24-26. We had made…read morereservations for 6 PM but had to wait over 30 minutes for our table to be ready. It was packed inside and when we inquired on the wait time the hostess mentioned people were staying long and they were very behind. Once we finally got seated we got a private booth with curtains. A warm bread basket (very delicious) quickly arrived and our drink orders taken. The drinks here are quality pours and they brought us extra olives and cherries which we thought was a nice touch. We started off with calamari and escargot for our appetizers. Calamari was plentiful and had big meaty pieces. The breading was a little too salty though. I'm used to calamari coming with a side of marinara but this came with cocktail sauce. It was nothing special and probably wouldn't order it again. The escargot, normally a favorite of mine, was to rave about either. The sauce it came in was very bland and my girlfriend ended up adding salt to it to make it taste better. Main courses were a better choice. I had the gnocchi with Palomino sauce and it was excellent. They give quite a big portion so I had enough leftovers for the next day. The birthday girl got the Veal Mamma Assunta my other friend went with the shrimp Casalinga (their house speciality). They both said they liked their choices but it wasn't anything exceptional. I think depending on what you order certain dishes are better than others. We had a good experience and the portions are large but it just seemed there were a few things lacking that could have made it a great experience. I would still recommend Luciano's but I would come here when it wasn't a busy weekend or during lunchtime.
