Lavo is an interesting restaurant in that it is paired with a nightclub. However, as a diner, one is not really aware that this is a night spot apart from the appropriately attired folks who wander in as the evening wears on. This is what I have come to expect, and love about good italian restaurants but be warned; it may not be for everyone.
As COVID continues to be a factor, there are outdoor spaces here you can choose if you prefer, but many people, including us, were seated inside. Everyone has to prove vaccination here, as everywhere else in NYC and as paranoid as I am about the virus, life does have to assume some risk and it is up to us all to evaluate that. The wait staff here are masked all the time.
Really excellent food, especially the appetizers. The meatball is deliberately given in the singular as it is large and very sharable. Fantastic flavors as was also found in the calamari (italian staple) with spicy sauce that we also ordered. Perhaps the star of the show, indeed for the whole meal, was the arancini which I always order if I see it on the menu since it is so hard to make at home. This example was perfectly cooked and presented as a doughnut! It looked exactly like a doughnut!
The main courses were also of an excellent standard. I ordered the gnocchi which was very good and everyone else pronounced theirs equally delicious. It is only the excellence of the appetizers that makes me less gushing about the entrees.
Now for the aspect that may not thrill everyone. This place is LOUD. If you are here, as we were, in a party of more than 4 it is hard to converse over the table. If you are a couple there are booths and two tops where this will be less of an issue but voices will still need to be raised. This isn't offensive noise, there are no TVs in sight (hurray) and it isn't loud music but rather the sounds of a boisterous, energetic restaurant. For italian cuisine especially, I like this, but it is a little wearing after a long meal so be warned if this bothers you. Might be better outside.
Service was excellent. I always ask servers for their recommendations and here this led to many great conversations throughout the meal. There is a large selection of wines too, expensive for sure but not excessive which was the case for the whole meal. It is an experience, not for you if you are looking for a quiet, romantic conversation-filled meal but otherwise you will have a good time here I'm sure.
