At the suggestion of a friend I was visiting in Lexington, we had dinner at Via Lago, and I'm so glad we did. My main course, Penne Bolognese was excellent, as was the Caesar Salad. My friend reported that he was delighted with the salmon he ordered. Service was crisp and professional. The staff noticed right away that my elderly friend has a little difficulty getting around, and they politely offered assistance. Though he declined help, the gesture was appreciated. Nice ambiance: not overly fancy or trendy. Spotlessly clean. Overall great experience! Next time I'm in or near Lexington, I know where I'll go out to eat.

Love Via Lago!! Their food is always delicious!! The employees are friendly and fast!!! It is nice to be able to look out over Massachusetts Ave. in Lexington- a definite place to go!!!!

We had an outstanding dinner experience at Via Lago last night. After a very stressful week, my mom, siblings and I wanted nothing more than a relaxing, tasty meal, without breaking the bank. We got that and then some, at Via Lago. Two of us ordered the beef tenderloin sandwich, served with perfectly cooked French fries. Delicious! And very moderately priced. Mom ordered and loved the penne bolognese. She loved it. The other sibling ordered a chicken, pasta, pumpkin dish, which she loved. Again, all were very fairly priced. Lastly, our server, Ashley, was fantastic. Very attentive, friendly, helpful and kind. We will definitely be returning to this lovely local gem!

Visited for the first time and enjoyed it quite a bit. Our waitress was excellent, very friendly and attentive. The food was good. I had the Acorn Squash Risotto which came with scallops. The scallops were perfect but there were bites of the risotto that was slightly undercooked. My wife got the pasta with chicken and butternut squash. It was delicious. I would get it again. For dessert we had a nice bread pudding. The clientele leans toward the retirement crowd. I believe we were the youngest guests by a good margin, but the atmosphere doesn't reflect that and I left a little confused why there weren't more families eating there. On top of good food and friendly service, the prices were reasonable. Entrees were almost all under $25. Bottom line, Via Lago is worth a visit.

Breakfast and lunch site. A casual pleasant place. Order at counter and bring food to you. Tasted homemade from soup to salad to sandwich.

Food: - Chicken tenders: Amazing, fries tasted frozen but still good. One tender came cut open is it to prevent salmonella? - chicken Parm grinder: nine out of 10 really good marinara sauce is very good. One of my favorite grinders. I am really picky in this definitely delivered. Ambience: Walked in and was a bit confused. Turns out you go to the back deli order and then see yourself food is been brought to you. Tables were a bit dirty crumbs on the seats and tables. Could use an update, but looks can be deceiving food was very good. Service: service was great. Everyone was nice and accompanied us with anything we needed. It's a great stop if you're in Lexington and need a quick bite to eat.

I love stopping by this spot for lunch. I can walk into the back at the counter and order something to go. The only thing I don't like is how there are no descriptions for the food in the lunch area. So they typically have 3 different types of quinoa salad, etc. and it is hard to know the difference. Sometimes the staff isn't sure either. I usually just grab a bowl of the chicken soup to go on my break. The staff is friendly and they have lots of regulars and always make nice conversation and seem genuine. The prices are very reasonable too!
