Lago Pasta

Having lived in Italy - I can confirm that you will have an authentic and delicious meal. The experience, food, and ambiance are perfectly aligned to a true Italian neighborhood restaurant. Enjoy!

First of all, I’m extremely delighted that an establishment like this exists here. I ordered the vodka sauce with added sausage, which was delicious in more ways than one. Over virtual text I cannot properly describe how light and perfect this pasta tasted. The texture and flavors of the sauce and pasta noodles were some of the best I’ve ever had. Portion sizes! They are spot on with how much pasta and additions they give you . Not too much pasta, but by no means a small amount. Wonderfully done. The outdoor seating and Italian drink section was fantastic as well. Great job owners and staff.

Is there a way to add more stars?!? We are so happy we were able to make time to try Lago during our stay in Chelan. The food is phenomenal, staff was super friendly and had a wonderful atmosphere. We sat outside at a picnic bench and enjoyed our food surrounded by greenery and a nice ambience. Drinks are self serve and you need to take care of your own table but we had no problem doing so!!!! We will most definitely be returning during our next visit.

I was skeptical on whether a pasta without any vege toppings will be tasty. But was a wrong! The traditional Tomato pasta and the vodka sauce pasta were both phenomenal. The chilli oil and burrata topings were amazing! So flavorful and balanced spices. Tiramisu was also outstanding - they said it comes frozen from Italy. Can’t recommend enough. The servers were friendly and the ambiance was chill too. A definite place to go.

If I could give it 6 stars, I would. I’ve never had an experience quite like this before. You order inside off of a very limited menu. They are very intentional about their items of the week. My fiancé and I chose the pomodoro and the vodka sauce (added pork sausage) The pomodoro was fresh and light. It was over fusilli. The bright tomato flavor with the black pepper on top was delightful. The pasta itself was cooked a little north of al dente, which is perfect with fresh pasta. The vodka sauce was with radiatori. This shape had a bit more thickness, which held up nicely to the creamy tomato sauce. The outdoor seating was great. Nice tables and good shade. Quiet and away from the roads. We each enjoyed a nice can of Italian soda. Both my fiancé and agreed that it was the best fresh pasta we have ever had.

This is easily the best restaurant in Lake Chelan, hands down. Their pasta is so fresh and the sauces pair perfectly. The gorgonzola sauce is to die for. And they have rotating specials along with classic desserts (gelato and tiramisu!) We loved the place so much, we went back twice! Teeg was so sweet, he treated our baby so well and always checked in to make sure we were enjoying our meal. We ended up leaving with a couple bags of pasta since our baby loved the food so much! (They also have a mini market in the restaurant!) If you're ever in Lake Chelan, I HIGHLY recommend you make a stop here.

We ordered a few different dishes and ate them family style. Super cute little unassuming place, service was great and quick and the pasta was absolutely delicious! We couldn't decide which was our favorite between the three we ordered. Really glad we checked this place out while visiting Chelan! Also love that you can easily order to go. Will definitely be back!

I found this place after searching Google reviews. I was surprised at how cheap it was. The staff was friendly and the pasta was tasty and not greasy.

I came for the hype but left disappointed. I had seen this place online and how it was comparable to pasta from Italy. I was very excited to eat here. The workers were friendly but the service was subpar. They ask for a tip up front (18-25), and I find this surprising considering that you have to bus your own tables. Seating was limited, so you have to wait on your own for an open table. There's no host helping you find seating. The ambience just gave casual vibes. There's seating indoors and outdoors. Now, the food. We ordered the Caesar, pomodoro, and cacio e Pepe (special of the day). Caesar was tasty and fresh and would recommend. No complaints here. Pomodoro was mid. You have to pay extra for pork ($4), so the dish comes out to be $17. The sauce itself was rather bland, and if you told me it was from the supermarket, I'd believe you. The cacio e pepe... was something that I'd never tasted before. I've never had buttered noodles and pepper before, but that's what it tasted like. The sauce was very watery, so you would have to scoop up the liquid sauce and try to have it inside the noodles to eat it. Without doing this, the dish was tasteless. Would not recommend.

We liked Lago so much that we visited 3 times during our 4-night trip to Chelan. The pasta shapes were fun (great texture), and we liked the casual, order at the counter set up. You can add meat to any pasta. We look forward to visiting the next time we're in town.

Today's pasta: beet! My recipe: Delicious with sautéed fennel and garlic sautéed in olive oil. Finished with Romano and a touch of fresh dill and warmed cherry tomatoes. Chianti (of course). Enjoy!

It's my first time in Chelan and saw that this is one of the top spots in the area. Coincidentally, we were craving pasta so it was perfect! The space is small with just a few tables. Luckily, there weren't a lot of people at the time so we were able to secure a table by the window. We got the Gorgonzola pasta and their weekend special of sweet honey puree pasta with a side of sausage and meatballs. You have to order the protein on the side so if you're vegetarian you can choose not to get sides. I believe they also have anchovies if you only eat fish and not meat. The sweet honey puree pasta needed a bit more flavor but the meatballs saved it. The Gorgonzola one was so delicious! The pasta was al dente, the sauce was not overwhelming so the pasta was not drowning, then the sausage was just the cherry on top. We also ordered a cessation salad, which is perfectly dressed with just enough croutons for that crunch! The server told another group that it was her first day so it was understandable that she had to go to her manager for help on some of our questions. But she was so nice and friendly so I'm sure she'll be amazing once she's been there longer.

Came here on a Saturday evening and there wasn't any wait. I got the pomodoro pasta and the texture of the pasta was pretty great. The sauce stuck well and was good. Caesar salad was also pretty good. I sat inside at the bar since it was slightly chilly but they have outdoor seating.

Authentic homemade pasta cooked perfectly aldente. We shared Caesar Salad which was one of the best I've had, don't skip ordering this. We had bread that came with delicious extra virgin olive oil and balsamic dip, Pomadora pasta and also Gorgonzola pasta. My husband who isn't a pasta guy said he is now a changed man. The service is fast and owners so welcoming and nice. They've created a comfortable outdoor dining space great for all. The owner even brought out a etcha-sketch for our grandson to play with calling it the original iPad-lol. So happy to have amazing pasta here in town! So delicious.

Seriously good. We had the special with speck, lemon zest... just everything amazing. We also had the vodka sauce which definitely needed the chili oil, but was also really yummy. Both pastas came out piping hot, which is so important. Oh and the Ceasar salad was 10|10 The devils eggs were the only thing I would take a pass on, there was 3 and we only ate 2 I've never passed on a deviled egg before. So that says something... All in all It was amazing food (laid back vibe) you order at the counter... I would definitely return next trip. Perfect stop on our way out

Is this the best Italian you've ever had? Let's say it is the best Italian in Chelan by a long shot, and far exceeds many places I've eaten on the westside. Caesar salad was tasty and just the perfect balance of dressing, lettuce, and croutons. Pasta was excellent - a simple Pomodoro with rich tomato sauce and added heft by adding in sweet sausage (plenty). Portions were generous- enough that my left overs made for a sumptuous lunch. Prices were perfect and in line with the quality of freshly made pasta and quality sauce. I'm super happy this place opened and excited to visit again soon!

Lago Pasta is delicious! So good we came here two days in a row! The menu is seasonal and we were told the type of pasta they use constantly changes, so it's kind of a surprise since you can't request what kind you want either! So you basically just know what sauce you're ordering. No worries though, their pasta is fresh so it's any kind is good. My husband got the lasagna twice. I tried the vodka (creamy tomato) the first night we were in Chelan, and the snap pea pancetta pasta the following day for lunch. Both were really good! I can't wait to come back again next time I'm in Chelan to see what new sauces they're cooking up (and try them all ;)

Food is decent but asking for 18-25% tip while having customers to bus their own table is not very reasonable.

ALL HYPE. After reading all the google reviews that this is THE pasta place to visit in Chelan, the pasta is fresh and homemade and so worth it and "to die for", I was looking forward to going here. The presentation of the dishes was nice, but we left very disappointed. For both dishes, the pasta tasted like it came out of the box. It was way more like Barilla than homemade. I've had homemade pasta several times before. The vodka sauce tasted like it came out of a jar. They have you pre-pay for the meal upfront which is fine, but they also ask for tips upfront before receiving service, which has become a very rude trend they have succumbed to. Should have instead saved $ and went to the nearby Safeway to get a cold refreshing summer salad with fruit on that scorchingly hot day, would have been more satisfying.

We had an AMAZING time at Lago! Pasta was excellent and a unique ordering experience. Pasta is so fresh and each sauce was delightful. We sat outside and admired the casual ambiance. Servers were super friendly and attentive. We will 100% come back

So good! The food is delicious and you can tell a lot of care was put into making the menu. The dining area feels cozy and communal, and the owner was out chatting with each table. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who's in town.

WOW. I'll be dreaming about their pasta til we come back again. The portion is huge and we even took our dinner to go. I'm not sure if it had something to do with the pasta being made in-house but I didn't feel heavy at all after eating. There's only two small tables inside so we had to sit outside and luckily it wasn't too hot.

Rating a 4 for flavor of dish, but should be a 3 for dish specifications. Pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, but a negative was that they were out of bread before dinner time (while being a seemingly un-busy establishment). They also did not add enough meat into their dishes. The pork sausage was juicy and flavorful, but only added on to the top of each pasta dish. It disappeared pretty quickly after the first few bites. The restaurant had friendly front of house staff, but could benefit from a few changes/additions to the menu.

Delicious! We got lucky night one being in town and had the best pasta! Wish they were open the rest of the week! Should have grabbed some take and bake. A must stop!

Wow, affordable fresh made pasta at a cute little shop! The portions were so big I got two meals out of it. I had the cheesy pasta and husband had the pomodoro. We shared a Caesar salad. Everything was delicious, really impressed by the value. We will be back!

Great food, wonderful outdoor dining patio, and fantastic service! Came here with the fam, and everyone loved the food and the family friendly ambience!

Food was amazing and service was quick. I love the ambiance of the outdoor seating area. Owner was very insightful on explaining the menu and what each dish is to include the Caesar dressing. 10/10 recommend.

Lago Pasta went above and beyond for our Roots School K-2 kids on their field trip! The kids had an incredible time learning how to make pasta from scratch, then got to enjoy a delicious meal and even bring some home to share with their families. Lago Pasta was welcoming, patient, and made the experience so fun and educational. Huge thanks to them for creating such a memorable hands-on experience!

This is a gem in Chelan. Best pasta in the region, friendly staff, small and focused menu, they know who they are and it shows in the quality. The ambiance is casual and laid back. We eat here every chance we get!

Lago Pasta is a must-visit in Chelan. The pasta is fresh, handmade, and cooked to perfection--every bite tastes like it came straight from Italy. The sauces are rich and flavorful (the red sauce is unreal!), and they have great options for both meat lovers and vegetarians. The atmosphere is cozy but modern, and the staff is warm and welcoming. Whether you're craving a hearty bowl of pasta or just want to treat yourself after a day on the lake - Easily one of the best meals in Chelan.

Food was as awesome this time as our visit two years ago when they were a much smaller operation! Service was great too: we walked in just after several big groups and they were upfront about limited seating and offered us to take the remaining small table inside or take it to go. We plan to come back next time we're here on vacation!

Seriously good handmade pastas and sauces and a good wine selection. Casual seating inside and in the cool outdoor courtyard dining area. Kid friendly, pet friendly, super chill. This is a passion project of everyone involved. Love and time goes into everything they make.

Best pasta I have ever had! We got the lasagna and it was incredible. The pasta itself is so fresh and you can tell the sauce is freshly made. i cant stand lasagna that is drowned in sauce so the fact that it had the perfect ratio of meat+sauce+pasta. Very hearty. The service is great as well, the lady working was so patient with us while we decided what to get. Patio or indoor seating are both cozy!

So yummy and a great spot for a casual date night! Quick and friendly service, absolutely delicious pasta!

this place is sooooo good! favorite spot in town! The food and staff are both amazing

Amazing food, service, and vibe. What a discovery, best Italian food East of the Western WA. The rich flavors of the homemade pasta left us craving more, each bite a testament to the chef's dedication. The warm friendly staff made our dining experience truly memorable. We couldn't resist trying their desserts, which was the perfect ending to a delightful meal. Already planning our next visit, we knew we had stumbled upon a hidden gem worth revisiting.

most amazing fresh pasta! Fast and affordable! I even bought the take home pasta and sauce and made if for my family:)

Italian eatery and provisions. Italian wine for $9 a glass. Handmade pasta of varying types. 4-5 sauces. Add ons of sausage. Were out of lasagna at our visit. Unpretentious and friendly place with outdoor seating. Caesar salad was top notch, rivals best I have had. Sauces and pastas to take home. Definitely a place to try.

Might be the best pasta I've ever had! They rotate between 3 pastas. I'm not sure weekly or daily but I chose the gorgonzola one one and it was delicious. Got the truffle hot sauce to add to it also, along with Pinot Grigio. Service is pretty fast and they are friendly. Just went in and ordered then you get a number and chose where to sit yourself. Would definitely go here again!

When I travel for work I often have to eat out 10 to 20 times in a week. More often than not no-where I eat stands out. This was absolutely not the case with Lago. I got the vodka sauce pasta and the pesto pasta, both were full-bodied in flavor and held incredible texture. The pesto was truly something unique with the use of harissa. My food came out really quickly, they do takeout orders, and even with 15 minute walk back to my hotel the food was hot and perfect.

Delicious! The pasta was super fresh, the sauces reminded me of Italy and that's rare - fresh, simple flavors, that's all you need. I'm pretty finicky with my pasta and they delivered. Nice outdoor seating area and friendly staff, no issue finding parking on the road or behind the building. We'll be back!

What a spectacular hidden gem just steps away from downtown Chelan. Beautiful handmade pasta available for purchase and a few select menu items prepared beautifully. The menu is always changing and the ingredients are first-rate. Make sure and stop in while you're in town.

Absolutely fantastic fresh pasta and sauce. We had the pomodoro tomato sauce and the al burro cheese sauce with sausage and had no problems licking both bowls clean. Fast and welcoming service too. They even gifted us some extra pasta to take home after hearing it was my partner's birthday! I am counting on coming back to try their seasonal pastas.

Don't walk-- RUN to this restaurant!! The pasta, and the customer service is phenomenal! My boyfriend, and I ordered all three of the pastas that they were serving that day, and they are delicious! *chef's kiss . The owners-- Nathan and Teague (I apologize if I'm spelling your guy's names incorrectly) are so kind and genuine. Them, along with their entire staff, Randy and Brie, are so wholesome, friendly, and professional. I've have been to many Italian establishments, west coast and east coast, and this is by far the best restaurant for pasta. They also sell Italian commodities inside!

Honestly, this place is a gem. Food was delicious, fresh, unique, and the best bargain in the valley. Customer service was super friendly and fun!! Each pasta dish was gourmet quality and so much thought was put into the quality ingredients. Ambiance was perfect--such a local and easy going vibe! Their fresh pasta was beyond exceptional, I bought many bags to go! I'll be back in a heartbeat!!

Small business with 3 choices of pasta each day. We've been here 2 days in a row and have enjoyed each dish. Today was Cacio Pepe, simple and tasty. Yesterday was vodka sauce & pomodoro. They also have a cinghale ( wild boar( which we haven't tried. Nice friendly staff. Outdoor seating only. Dog friendly. We'd be regulars if we lived nearby!

A friend and I shared the gorgonzola pasta and lasagna - it was hard to pick a favorite, they were both amazing! Menu is just a few items, but was amazing! It was delightful to sit outside at a picnic table and enjoy our meal. It's a little hard to find - they need a bigger sign :) - but well worth the effort!

Fantastic and cute mom and pop shop in Chelan. We visited on a hot day, and there was only outdoor seating. This was by far the best food we had gotten in Chelan. Since it gets so hot in the summer, this is a great takeout option. The food was cooked by two nice men outside, playing country music under their tent. The staff was friendly. We got the pomodoro, and it was simple, fresh, bright, and the pasta had great texture.

Amazing pasta for a great price! Today we did a last minute stop and had two different pastas, my husband and I enjoy them just like the first time we try this place. Bri took our order inside and she was super friendly as usual way to go Bri. Great food, service and nice spot as well. If you haven't checked it out, you should stop by!

Fantastic food and the servers were attentive and a pleasure to work with - we will definitely be back!

Such a nice addition to Chelan. Will be a routine stop for us on future trips. Delicious hand made pasta, light on the wallet and options for dine in or to go. Highly recommend trying everything on the menu.

Amazing! The best pasta I've had- and I'm Italian. So good we all bought some to take home. Will absolutely go to this restaurant again when I'm in Chelan. love This place!

This restaurant was wonderful! Our chaotic party of six was greeted by very helpful and friendly staff. We were even offered a taste of a salad dressing to ensure our food would be enjoyed, and you could clearly tell that the pasta was fresh and homemade . Everybody loved the food and left happy and full! We will be returning and would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Food was excellent, kind of a strange set up and needs a better wine list but will go again for the Gorgonzola and tender pasta.

We heard rumors of a new pasta, bar and market in Chelan. With that said we made hay and went there. When we arrived, we were greeted by both Teague and Shane, and then Nathan came around the corner to say hi. I felt like I was at home or in my village. The smells coming from the outdoor kitchen pleasantly startled my olfactory senses. We decided on two dishes, the pesto and the vodka sauce. We added sausage to the vodka sauce which was great. Teague then paired a wonderful Montepulciano D'Abruzzo with our meal. The outdoor seating was comfortable and welcoming with lamps. The food was perfecto and we are currently craving more and will be returning very soon. I highly recommend this delicious and charming eatery. Thank you, Teague, Shane, Nathan for the great meal and making us feel so welcome!

Seriously good fresh pasta, lovely staff and rotating menu. Great atmosphere. New favorite place in Chelan!

We got some fresh pasta and premade sauce for dinner and they are DELICIOUS!! Love the staff and energy
