Excellent food (insalata caprese, gnocchi pomodoro, fettucini Alfredo, lasagna, tiramisu and limoncello gelato) and great service by Roberto. Gorgeous and charming lakeside location with some free parking in front. We hope to come back soon!

The food was absolutely outstanding, and the service elevated the entire evening to something truly special. Carlos went above and beyond to ensure we were attended to at every single moment. He was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely warm. He made thoughtful recommendations, checked on us consistently, and made our group feel completely cared for. He was a true delight to have as a server. Our table enjoyed an incredible spread: • Carpaccio di manzo – fresh, delicate, and beautifully prepared • Focaccia bread – warm, soft, and perfectly seasoned • Caprese salad – vibrant and refreshing • Pasta al pomodoro – simple, classic, and comforting • Pizza Il Lago – flavorful with the perfect crust • Panini de pollo – hearty and satisfying • Pollo à la griglia – tender and perfectly grilled • Pasta carbonara – rich and creamy • Pasta pesto – absolutely superb • Pasta al pistachio – spectacular and unforgettable • Brownie with gelato – indulgent and delicious • Torta panera pistachio – truly mouth-watering Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with authentic flavor. You can genuinely taste the quality and care in each bite. Highly recommend Il Lago Trattoria for anyone looking for incredible Italian cuisine paired with top-tier service. We can’t wait to be back! 🍝✨

We had dinner and honestly, it was a nice surprise. The place has such a cozy and elegant atmosphere, with a really nice setup by the lake that makes it feel peaceful and special. The food was excellent. I tried one of their pasta dishes and it was perfectly cooked—fresh, flavorful, and tasted genuinely Italian. You can tell they use good ingredients and put care into how everything is made. Also ordered a pizza and it looked and tasted amazing too as well as the seafood risotto. Service was also great. Our server was super friendly and gave really good recommendations without rushing us. You could tell they actually enjoy what they do, which makes the whole experience even better. You can really feel that this place is run with passion, everything from the service to the food feels personal and thoughtfully done. It’s not the cheapest restaurant in Doral, but for the quality of food and the atmosphere, I think it’s worth every penny. It’s a perfect spot for a nice dinner, date night, or just to relax and enjoy a good meal. Highly recommend this place—I’ll definitely be back soon.

We had such a wonderful time, the outside seating was perfect and they had great music playing. We were seated at a nice table and met the waiter, Jesus. Jesus was very attentive and i appreciate his hospitality. We ordered a delicious caprese appetizer with prosciutto and the focaccia and it was just perfect! The tomatoes and pesto on the burrata was perfection! I then had the il lago pizza which has everything that I love, mushrooms, a couple different kinds of cheese, fig…this pizza is a must!! My family ordered pasta dishes and they loved that it all tasted homemade! I will definitely return and highly recommend! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This place was incredible. It’s a stunning restaurant that resembles the Amalfi Coast with delicious food. Our server, Roberto was so friendly, knowledgeable about the food and helpful. Our meal was fantastic. I stopped in for a quick bite and ordered the Cesar salad, Hawaiian pizza, proveleta appetizer and some gelato. The pizza crust was top notch. Perfectly cooked and tasty. The Cesar salad was fresh, crisp and a great portion size. We also enjoyed the proveleta which is bubbling provolone with tomatoes on top served with bread. This was delish. Gelato was also top tier and I left wishing I had ordered a cake dessert and some espresso but I was just too full. We will be back for sure. Definitely a must try and a repeat choice for the future.

​"We had an incredible dinner at Il Lago Trattoria last night, and what made it truly special was our server, Roberto. He was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made excellent recommendations for the specials. His timing was perfect—we never felt rushed, but our glasses were never empty. If you visit, definitely ask for Roberto’s section!"

Lunch at Il Lago Trattoria in Doral was a true Italian treat. We started with the carpaccio di manzo, sliced paper-thin and impeccably fresh, with just the right balance of acidity and seasoning to let the beef shine. The burrata with prosciutto di Parma was the standout. Luxuriously creamy burrata paired with silky, savory prosciutto, a combination that was rich yet perfectly balanced. The white sangria was bright and refreshing, not overly sweet, making it an ideal complement to the starters and perfect for a leisurely lunch. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared with quality ingredients, staying true to classic Italian flavors without overcomplication. Service was warm and attentive, pacing the meal nicely and adding to the overall experience. Elegant yet relaxed, Il Lago delivers the kind of food that makes you slow down and savor every bite. A must-visit in Doral for anyone who truly appreciates authentic Italian cuisine. 🍝🍷

Excellent experience. The food was outstanding — the truffle pasta and the four cheese pasta were absolutely delicious. Everything we tried was very well prepared and full of flavor. The service was also great. Roberto took excellent care of us and made our first visit a very pleasant one. We left very satisfied and would definitely come back. Highly recommended!

Alejandro was so attentive and quick! Went with a friend for lunch and we had the bruschetta as an appetizer and each had a different pasta. Great little place in the heart of Doral! Beautiful decorations all around and a lovely outdoor dining area with a view. Highly recommend for a date night or a nice lunch with friends! Especially if you want yummy pasta and delicious dessert.

We recently visited Illago Trattoria and overall had a pleasant experience. The ambiance was lovely and the food was delicious. The service was quick, and our server Carlos was very friendly. He recommended the new Pasta al Pistacchio, which is not yet on the menu, and we decided to try it with an extra portion of chicken. While we enjoyed the dish, we were quite surprised when the check arrived. The pistachio pasta with chicken ended up being more expensive than both the lasagna ($16.5) and the shrimp pasta ($22). We paid around $35 per person just for that dish, which felt almost as much as a bottle of sangria. We shared our feedback with the staff, as the pricing seemed inconsistent. They explained that the higher price was due to pistachios being expensive and the dish being newly added. While we understand the reasoning, we still felt the cost was too high compared to other menu items. Overall, great atmosphere and good service, but the pricing for the new pasta dish needs to be reconsidered.
