Do you make your pasta in-house?

Yes, all of our pastas are handmade in-house daily. We believe that great Italian food starts with great pasta—and that means using fresh, high-quality ingredients and traditional techniques. Our team prepares dough from scratch every day, then carefully rolls, cuts, and shapes each batch. You’ll taste the difference in the texture, flavor, and presentation. We offer a variety of styles, ranging from wide ribbons and tubular cuts to custom pasta, which is used in signature dishes like our Parmesan Wheel noodles. Since we prepare everything fresh, we can also accommodate customizations and dietary needs upon request. Handmade pasta allows us to deliver a truly authentic experience while maintaining the flexibility to innovate with seasonal sauces and ingredients. It’s part of our commitment to quality and one of the reasons guests say our dishes feel both comforting and elevated. When we say “handcrafted,” we mean it—every bite is proof.

What are your most popular Italian dishes?

Some of our most beloved dishes include our Parmesan Wheel noodles—a tableside experience that’s as flavorful as it is fun—along with slow-simmered seasonal ragus, classic Caprese salad, and our creamy burrata starter, featuring fresh herbs and olive oil. Guests also rave about our fruit-inspired pizzas and chef-driven small plates, which rotate with the seasons. Many diners appreciate the way our menu strikes a balance between tradition and creativity. We honor classic Italian flavor profiles while adding subtle modern touches, like unexpected ingredients or refined plating. Whether you’re looking for comfort food like spaghetti and meatballs or something a bit more adventurous, our menu offers both. And don't forget dessert—our house-made sweets and after-dinner drinks provide a memorable finish. Every dish is crafted with fresh, locally sourced, or imported ingredients, ensuring that flavor and quality are at the forefront.

Is your Italian food authentic or more modern?

We blend both. Our food is rooted in authentic Italian techniques, ingredients, and traditions—but we embrace modern culinary creativity to elevate the experience. Think of it as “authentic, with a twist.” Chef Violet draws inspiration from classic Italian dishes passed down through generations, while also exploring seasonal ingredients, unique flavor pairings, and updated presentations that reflect our contemporary approach to cuisine. For example, you might find traditional carbonara made with a local egg yolk and heritage pancetta, or a rustic ragu served over a pasta shape you’ve never seen before. Our goal is to respect the heart of Italian cuisine while making it feel fresh, exciting, and uniquely Bistro Del Lago. The result is food that’s familiar yet elevated—comforting yet refined. Whether you’re a purist or an adventurous eater, you’ll find something to love on our menu.

Can I get wine pairings with Italian dishes?

Yes, we offer expert wine pairings for all of our Italian dishes, thanks to the guidance of JR Iannaccone, our in-house Level 1 Sommelier. Whether you're enjoying a rich ragu, a creamy pasta, or a light seafood plate, JR and our trained staff can recommend the perfect wine to enhance every bite. Our wine list features a strong focus on Italian varietals, such as Chianti, Barbera, Nebbiolo, and Pinot Grigio, as well as international options that complement the bold, nuanced flavors in our dishes. Pairings are available by the glass, by the flight, or as bottle service, and we also offer non-alcoholic pairing suggestions for guests who prefer zero-proof options. We believe wine is more than a beverage—it’s part of the experience. Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or simply curious, our team is happy to walk you through pairing options to create a complete and memorable meal.
