Lavagna

Tucked slightly off the beaten path of the St. Marks madness, this neighborhood spot balances its romantic, cozy setting with an unpretentious atmosphere. The kitchen delivers consistent, straightforward dishes, with options like the al dente rigatoni drawing praise. Alongside the food is an Award of Excellence-winning wine list. While the space is comfortably romantic, some patrons have noted occasional service hiccups regarding bill-splitting and pricing.
