Il Lago Pizzeria

This restaurant has all you could ever want in an Italian style restaurant. As a former chef I was always taught that consistency is key and believe me they have it. We started getting takeaway pizza from them from a recommendation and from the first bite we were hooked. Thin and crispy base a well composed sauce all your regular favourites and some fresh alternatives make the pizza menu to die for. On Friday night my wife and I had a rare occasion with no children and decided to eat in the restaurant and much like the pizza we were more than satisfied I chose a steak dish from the specials board and my wife had the chicken scallopini. My steak was a perfect medium rare perfectly seasoned and melted in the mouth and it was accompanied by perfectly matched and cooked sides. My wife's scallopini was the epitome of classic Italian food accompanied with fresh seasonal vegetables including a surprise of roasted beetroot. Both meals were well presented and I say this without any hesitation that this restaurant rivals any of the Illawarra's fine dining venues and in my opinion even surpassed a particular harbour side restaurant where we had our wedding reception. It is safe to say that this will be our go to pizza and dining restaurant for a long time to come. And I would like to say a big thanks to all the staff who's excellent service helped make a fantastic Friday night for us Cheers.
