Taking a break from posts about snow to wish Lavagna, the low-key Italian restaurant at 545 E. Fifth St., a happy 22nd anniversary.
In a time when far too many restaurants are closing, I'm happy to see that Lavagna has been able to continue to make it work during the pandemic.
Will quote this review from over at The Infatuation from a few years back:
The place has been in business since 1999, and it’s still busy every night. Chalk it up to an excellent and consistent menu of pastas and entrees that keep the regulars coming back, exceptional daily specials, and a really good wine list. It’s everything that you want a cozy Italian restaurant to be, and it’s not even all that expensive.
Lavagna, which is just west off of Avenue B, is open for some sidewalk and curbside seating and takeout and delivery from 5-10 p.m. daily. (Ordering from their website is simple.)
Congratulations to Yorgos and the entire Lavagna family.
Wow, 22.

ReplyDeleteLavagna is so wonderful and seems to do everything well. Never had a bad meal there and they aren't just making good pasta! Definitely the best neighborhood Italian spot in my opinion
