" I visited Lavagna for brunch and the experience was wonderful! The service staff were attentive, and our food was served promptly. I ordered the frittata, which was tasty and made with fresh ingredients. I noticed they offered a variety of Italian pastries for dessert, which I will have to try next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Happy to report this was an amazing Italian restaurant experience! The ravioli tasted as good as any I'd had in Italy. The service was stellar, with our server recommending delightful wine pairings with each dish. It's not the cheapest option, but for the quality, I found it worth every penny. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had dinner at Lavagna last week and I can't stop thinking about the risotto! It was creamy and decadent, definitely one of the best I’ve ever had. My friend ordered the lamb ragu and enjoyed it as well. The ambiance was cute, but it did feel a bit cramped when it got busy. Overall, a great meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Lavagna with some friends and we were all blown away by the quality of the food. The carbonara was rich and creamy, with just the right amount of pancetta. The homemade pasta really made the difference! Even the side salads were fresh and flavorful. We had a lovely evening, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. " (*Curated Review*)

" Lavagna is a nice Italian restaurant, but I was a bit let down with my meal. I tried the spaghetti carbonara, and though it was decent, it didn’t compare to what I’ve had elsewhere. The ambiance was lovely and the service was friendly, but I left wishing for a more authentic flavor. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Lavagna last week for a date night, and I couldn't have been happier. We had the flatbread and bruschetta to start. Both were exceptional! I went for the risotto, while my partner enjoyed a seafood pasta dish. Everything was beautifully presented and incredibly satisfying! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family celebrated my daughter’s birthday at Lavagna. The service was friendly and accommodating, and the menu had something for everyone. The pasta was freshly made, and the kids loved their meals. If you're looking for a great family spot, this is it! " (*Curated Review*)
