Club Lago Restaurant Review:
Club Lago is an institution (it’s been around since 1952) that has been parked forever in a no-time zone. An Old Wave place that suddenly found itself surrounded by New Wave eateries, it didn't cave in --- it just got more popular. We like to sit at the bar and watch the bartender pour from the gallon jugs of wine. The food fits the place. Nothing fancy, no-frills, just good, inexpensive...
Nostalgic, family-owned Italian joint serves a great plate of pasta and a mean meatball sandwich.:
The Scene
The easygoing staff greets customers enthusiastically at this old-school Italian gem, which has been around since the '50s--long before River North was a trendy gallery district... Pros + comfortablegreat foodfriendly Cons - smoky
