Welcome to Lago Enoteca
We are delighted to welcome you to Lago Enoteca, a fine dining establishment specializing in authentic regional Italian cuisine using the finest locally-sourced and Italian imported ingredients. Enjoy homemade pastas made from local and imported hard wheat, and classic dishes crafted with care, paired with our extensive local, regional and imported wines.
At Lago Enoteca we offer a traditional multi-course Italian dining experience. A traditional Italian dinner consists of five or seven courses and spans over one to two hours. Each course is designed to be enjoyed slowly, allowing time to savor the flavors and appreciate the company at the table. The progression from antipasto to coffee reflects the Italian approach to dining as a social and sensory experience.
It is an event; entertainment as much as dinner.
Lago Enoteca’s unique wine bar and tasting lounge concept provides a relaxed, upscale wine sampling experience like no other in the Grand River Valley. A wine flight may include local wines as well as regional, national and fine wines from around the world in a single flight, for comparing and contrasting. Our cocktails are just as unique and special as our menu items. All are hand crafted using only the best spirits.
Lago Cellars offers our Enoteca guests our own private label premium wines. Each of the wines bearing the Lago Cellars name is a unique and special representation from the Grand River Valley AVA. Lago Cellars Wines are available exclusively at Lago Enoteca and may be enjoyed in a tasting flight, by the glass, by the bottle with dinner, or purchased from our wine shop to enjoy at home or give as a gift.
Lago Enoteca’s wine shop offers a curated collection of hundreds of local, domestic and imported wines from some of the premier wine-growing regions from around the world for enjoying on-site or take out.
Looking forward to serving you often
