Lavo. in North Lincolnshire

Nice decor, food was honestly okay at best. I had lobster ravioli the ravioli and sauce was so bland I was so disappointed for £26 too Partners pizza was okay but again just not worth the money Fried mozzarella starter was okay sauce again was really bland My partner did enjoy the prawn starter Staff were attentive, drinks were fine Probably won’t return as there is similar costing Italians in the area which produce much tastier food

Cannot praise the food here highly enough. We visited recently with friends, and all 4 of us had a perfect dining experience. Myself, I had the calamari starter, freshly cooked, crispy batter and soft melt in the mouth centre. The main, salmon, was beautifully cooked, and the accompaniments were perfect. The food amongst the rest of us included arancini, spaghetti, and chicken; these were thoroughly enjoyed. The staff were on the right side of attentive, not fussing too much, but checking in at the right points for our courses, and refreshing drinks.

Stumbled on this place by accident. Popped in and had a lovely evening with friends. Great pizza and very friendly staff. Would go again.

Pizza wasn’t slice which was slightly annoying but it was absolutely delicious as was the garlic bread. Best pizza in Scunthorpe.

Celebrating my 60th birthday was amazing in your establishment. Staff was first class x

Food was lovely, drinks and service great. Will definitely visit again

Basic pasta dishes. @VoiceFutures

Yummy food and drinks, generous portions and amazing service tonight, thank you can't wait to bring the family back ❤️

Lovely every time we visit! We have eaten the lasagne, calzone, pizza… all were just perfect!

Best place in town. Food is excellent 👌 Credit to the chefs they do amazing job! Me and my partner visit often and it is always prefect! 🤤🤤 Great Atmosphere. Lovely staff. Lovely date night or a solid lunch! Keep thinking about their lunch time sandwiches …

All toppings in pizza was on one side, like it was placed sideways, not flat. Most likely drivers fault

Excellent food and service. Cocktails are a nice touch. Will be going again.

I have to say that the food was outstanding the atmosphere was great and the food again was outstanding thank you very much I'll definitely be coming back again thank you

Found this restaurant by chance on a work trip and very would very happily return. The mocktail was delicious, the staff friendly and the food was authentic Italian and delicious.

Very nice food, great service, would highly recommend. Only downside was noise for the first half hour we were there from 2 very drunk hen parties on a brunch.

Amazing food, very knowledgeable and professional staff and the chef made an amazing starter and main meal for gluten free husband - adapted from the menu. A definite return venue. Thank you.

The food was absolutely amazing and great prices aswell for what you get. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time.

The food was fairly decent however the the service was poor and extremely slow. Would not really recommend. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

Mixed, main was fabulous but starters were not very good. Nice service though, good drinks and overall nice place.

Super meal, just a little slow getting the first drink

Beautiful place, good food however the lasagne has no flavour all the rest however was amazing so that info is just for those who choose that plate. Rob a bank before you go but it's worth it

Had high hopes, was slightly disappointed. A secondary door is needed at the front of the restaurant to ease with the massive draft that comes right through into the main seating area, as they never seem to shut the glass doors which are present. Service was very pleasant and overall good, but the main lady taking the orders on the tab needs to up her friendliness, a welcoming smile would be good. Ambience is OK, but is very dark and lots of tables in a space meaning the waitresses can easily barge you when walking by with orders. Also the music just isnt appropriate, its too loud and makes you feel like you are dining in the middle of a club. Quite pricey as it is, I find it cheeky to automatically add a service charge even if you can ask for it to be removed - if someone wants to tip they will do it themselves. Cocktails where good but expensive £8/9. Chip portion is tiny at £4 a pop. Plain garlic bread wasn't very garlicky and seemed a bit dry and on the burnt side. Didn't have dessert as £8 per portion is an absolutely obscene price. We enjoyed our mains and mine was very generous with the mushrooms, which is great. EDITED to add, my OH made a booking here to return for a postponed valentine's meal. Upon arrival we waited to be treated as we walked through the door and no one was there, we waited and we waited then finally someone arrived to tell us our table was not yet ready and to get a drink from the bar and wait (massive queue at the bar, waitress could of told them to serve us next since we where waiting for our table) we was just left to our own devices. We chose not to stay and went to a place around the corner with amazing customer service even though they where short staffed!!

Lovely food, attentive, friendly staff, however I found the decor cold. It looked pretty but the darkness of the room was not to my taste.

Best calamari i've ever had, pizza 7/10. Good service - nice polite ladies. Clean tables, nice music Ill come back for sure.

Lovely atmosphere. Wonderful polite staff. Food lovely and staff attentive and courteous. Lasagne for me and ham mushroom pizza for friend. Very tasty indeed. Thankyou

We had dinner on Saturday evening at Lavo and every course was beyond delicious For Starter I had calamari, which were cooked perfectly, not a bit of overcooked rubber in sight My husband had the mussels and clams in wine sauce, and the sauce was so tasty For main I had pan fried sea bream and he had lobster ravioli – Perfetto! Last time we came I had tiramisu and it was nothing like an Italian Tiramisu. This time oh my goodness. I could have been sat in the restaurant facing the Pantheon in Rome which serves the best Tiramisu! Kat was our waitress and she was lovely, and I asked if I could go to the Pass to speak to the chefs to pass on our compliments – Rita and another guy. We shall be back very soon and will be recommending Lavo to one and all!

My friend and I booked the St Patrick’s Day bottomless brunch. We could not fault a thing. I had the ham and mushroom pizza and my friend had the lasagne. Absolutely amazing food. The drinks were kept flowing and service very friendly and attentive. The cocktails are to die for and all in all a fabulous time was had. Great value for money

Great ambience - lovely food and mocktails! Mango versions are the best in my opinion - the virgin strawberry and apple mojito was abit too overpowering but other than that really recommend to come here ! Lovely interior for pictures

Bland, dry tough chicken, first and last order.

Lavo Occasion, dinner for two, prior to UOGB in Baths Halls. Walk in, no reservation. Decor, contemporary, semi industrial feel, glass partitions separating bar from dining. Serving staff immaculately presented, fixtures and fittings, crockery and glassware sparklingly clean, and tastefully chosen for the ambiance. Ordered, two appetizers, mussels clams, bruschetta. Two mains, tagliatelle pollo mushrooms, and spaghetti a la carbonara. Each dish was perfectly seasoned and top quality, (kudos to the kitchen staff). Followed by ice cream,strawberry and hazelnut. Drinks. Two small glasses of wine, shared bottle of pellegrino. Total cost including 5% service charge £74.50.

Lovely meal there today. Good service. No rush even though Mothers day. Thorougly enjoyed the lovely decor and food fantastic. Last meal on this par was in Calgary Alberta. Keep doing what you do. Excellent.

Was lovely, food was delicious will definitely be returning.

Would give this place 0 , I ordered fillet steak, which definitely wasn’t fillet steak, my friend had prawns and got food poisoning really bad , please stay away from this so called Italian restaurant, which definitely is not , please give a miss if you are looking for good food as this is definitely not the place

Went for a meal to celebrate a friend's birthday. Food was lovely. Portion sizes are very good. Cocktails are ridiculously tasty! Brilliant evening.

Spice girls bottomless brunch was amazing, we were singing away, choice of cocktails were fab and the team at Lavo kept them flowing. Super quick service, highly recommend.

Today is Valentine's Day and we had lunch at Lavo's in Scunthorpe. This is our first visit here and it certainly won't be our last. I walked through the door and stood with amazement. It's stunning and Classy. We were met by a lady who took us to our table. We ordered our drinks and garlic and tomatoe bread to start with. 😋 that did not disappoint. The Best garlic bread in ages. Taste buds are happy. Our main meal was chicken with spinach and pesto and Chicken with peppercorn sauce. Both dishes came with a side of vegetables and Italian potatoes. I didn't want this meal to end. It was delicious and no room for desserts as the meal was plentiful. Finishing with a Cappuccino with a touch of chocolate on the top spelling LAVO. The lady who served us couldn't have been more attentative. Thank you for making today so special.

Fabulous food in very nice surroundings. Every course was fantastic. The staff just need to look like they enjoy their jobs a bit more to make the experience a little more welcoming.

Food was excellent. Service was abit slow but it didn't spoil the experience

Great food in a pleasant setting

Amazing service in store and delivery. Thank you so much!

Had first time visit, really like there.Clean,very stylish, amazing atmosphere .We took only coffee ☕️, serving was quick and coffee was delicious. Definitely we will return for dinner another time.

The food and service was amazing , we was a party of 13 and you just couldn’t fault anything brilliant I will be back

Very good if a little expensive.

top quality traditional Italian pizza 10/10

First time I've been here had never heard of it until I won a competition on the radio and won a voucher for here, so glad I did and we will be back. Nice looking place, staff was very friendly , very attentive and gave great service. The food was delicious best Italian I've had in and around the area . One of my children ate from the children's menu the portions were very generous I would of struggled to eat it all but the kids loved it that much they want to come back at the weekend. My mum loves italy and anything italian so i will certainly be back to bring my mum along.

A fleeting visit, I did not stay long, popped in for a cocktail. I sat at the bar and ordered an espresso martini. It was not very good, though I could not work out why. I had no problem with how made they used quality vodka not cheap rubbish as found in bars. Maybe the vodka (not a vodka familiar with), maybe the coffee. The staff pleasant and helpful. Pleasant ambience. In the unlikely event I visit Scunthorpe again (first visit), and if I have the time, maybe a return visit and try the food.

Great time great food but when using my blue light card was told it would be only used for myself not my son and his wife. I was paying for them. But could only use it on my meal? My other family used theirs for their family??

Excellent food, fabulous atmosphere and decor, menu not overcomplicated, definitely be going again 🙂

Cheese kept sliding off my pizza

We’ve been a few times now and it’s just incredible food. Consistently good service and the meals never disappoint, I’ve tried something new every time I’ve been and each time it’s just as good as the last! I’ve only put 4* for the atmosphere as the tables sometimes are very close together however, I haven’t ever been when they have event on but judging by the socials it looks great!

Had a great night from start to finish, we came on 30/12/23 and the staff was amazing there was 20 of us and couldn't fault anything.

Lovely little Italian, would highly recommend! Fast service, amazing food and very reasonably priced too

I found the pre-ordering quite stressful as I was originally sent the wrong link and a lot of the food people wanted wasn't on the pre-order link, however the service on the evening was faultless and everyone got the meal they had asked for, even though we had a lot of special requests, which they accommodated for including my gluten free dish. The food was absolutely delicious and all the staff were friendly. My niece said it was the best fish she had ever eaten, my cousin was telling me how amazing the cocktails were and my dad couldn't get enough of the potatoes. It was the perfect venue for my dad's 70th. Thank you for making it a very special evening for us ❤️ looking forward to coming back

We had a large party and they got every order perfect food was exultant and couldn't do enough for us so Thank you Lavo great night

Ate here before the Panto and was pleasantly surprised Wide range of food choices and well stocked bar

Great lighting, food, service, and atmosphere, and a lovely place all round

This is my second visit to Lavos in the space of two weeks and on both occasions I have had a great meal. The first visit was a table of 11 where we received great food & great service in a full restaurant. The second visit was a family meal with two children and once again it didn't disappoint. The food was very good as was the service again and once again the place was very busy. The children's pizza's was too big for them to finish so they duly boxed them up and let them take them all, my pasta dish was great as was the wife's beef stroganoff. Other meals had were the Lasagne and the Carbonara which both came up to scratch. Well done to all the staff at this lovely restaurant, we will certainly be returning 😀

Thank you to the amazing staff at lavo, went above and beyond to ensure we had a good night

First time here, great place, great food.. 👍 👌

Food was very average..was expecting more Italian themed stuff..won't go again.

Food great, delivery good, recommend yes

Good place for a romantic meal, not too overly expensive, really good service

I had my baby shower here and absolutely loved it. The staff were amazing, 20 people to cater for and all food was correct and came out timely. It was such a stress free afternoon. Lovely extra they did was making a mocktail menu for me which was yummy! Thanks again, Gabriella

Very friendly and attentive staff , amazing and very tasty food. Good size menu with delicious tasty of Italy.

Visiting family in scunthorpe and we were fortunate to find Lavo. Everything was lovely and we couldn't have been happier. Went up and thanked the chef and her crew. When we come to visit again we will definitely be back, cheers!

Looking forward to some pre theatre food we booked and arrived at 5:30. There were only 4 other covers in. We informed the waiting staff that we were heading for the theatre and ordered a main course and salad. Whilst waiting for our food we noticed a strong smell of room freshener behind us. We moved the reed diffuser and became aware of a more pungent smell of drains. The staff changed our table at once when we asked. We then ordered two glasses of wine. We were halfway through our main course when the wine arrived. The 2 pasta and 2 rissoto dishes were lovely. We ordered dessert: cheesecake crème brûlée Tiramisu and cheeseboard it was 6:55 by the time they arrived and we’d had to prompt the waiting staff. Cheeseboard was great, Tiramisu ok but crème brûlée had what looked like raspberry jam on it ( definitely not compote) and cheesecake though large was warm ( defrosted in microwave???) we had to rush them to pay and be out by 7:15 to go round the corner to the theatre. It was a disappointing visit. We mentioned our concerns to staff as we paid and didn’t pay the service charge Despite not being busy, service was terribly slow Mains were great but desserts poor.

Simply AMAZING! The food, drinks and service! You'd expect this kind of service & atmosphere in a city never mind Scunthorpe, so nice to have such standards on our doorsteps. Thanks again for a lovely evening. We can't wait for our next visit!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food was ok, not as good as I was expecting for the price but it wasn't bad , the waitresses were really nice

Food was really good , staff was excellent and a really good vibe we will be going back for sure

Incredible food as always! It was just as fresh as it would be if purchased in the restaurant! 5* all the way!

The lighting in the booth area is to dark.

We’ve visited Lavo many times now and we absolutely love it! We visited last week and started off with lavo-lini cocktails (my fave) and then a bottle of wine for the table. The staff are so friendly and helpful and there is always a really nice vibe. The food is STUNNING! We ordered a garlic bread with chilli for starters and penne positano and a beef stroganoff for mains, which were both delicious. Would definitely recommend Lavo if you’re looking for authentic Italian food and if you’re a cocktail lover :) can’t wait to visit again! X

Large group booking, food was amazing nothing was an issue for the staff and all food came together and nothing wrong. Drinks were all quickly served. Staff helped with having the table ready for our arrival. We even had a mini party in the bar area as we were last to leave. Fabulous evening and we will be back.

Having been to Lavo many times since it first opened , I really do enjoy their food !! From the authentic Italian pasta dishes, the Pollo Alla Lavo ( my favourite) to the varying seafood dishes. Great wines , very friendly staff who provide excellent service makes each evening very enjoyable. The best local Italian !!

The best restaurant in town. the best food we ate, all fresh. service very nice and helpful. Thank you!

I had my hen party here at the weekend. There were 30 of us. Our food arrived quickly. It was fresh and delicious. Helpful, friendly staff. Thank you for a great night

Very good food from LAVO. Ordered the Calzone of my choice, all ingredients fantastic and enjoyed taste with each mouthful. Good job to the chef.

Beautifully decorated and very modern restaurant. The staff were pleasant and helpful and the food was truly delicious. This restaurant fat exceeded my expectations and I will definitely be going again.

Fantastic dinner! The chef even cooked a dish for me not on the menu, and it was delicious!

Very nice food and great service.

Pizza was cold didn’t feel like it was even cooked

Family came from Doncaster to go to Lavo.. on website said open from 11:00 - 22:00, got there at 7:35 pm to be told they aren’t serving last sitting was 6:45 pm even though on the website it says it was open until 22:00. They need to amend their website to say that food that is served between certain times! Not happy I brought family over from Doncaster to be turned away!

On our recent visit to Lavo for my birthday, the food was excellent, every one of us loved what we chose. The drinks were delicious, and it was really nice to try new/ different cocktails. Additionally, the staff we engaged with were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. My sister-in-law is Vegan & Gluten intolerant, and our server was helpful in finding alternatives for her to eat using ingredients off the menu. She had a delicious meal & did not feel left out despite her requirements, which is not always easy in Scunthorpe. We had a thoroughly delightful experience for the most part, however there is some less positive feedback regarding the disabled facilities. The disabled toilet is being used as a storage area. I have a walking stick, so did manage to get around the large kitchen equipment & chairs blocking the entrance. Had a I been in a wheelchair I would not have been able to access the toilet at all 😞. Where the restaurant is beautifully designed & has a nice ambience, and my friends tell me the upstairs toilets are pleasant & well maintained, the same cannot be said about the disabled toilet which is dark, dingy, poorly maintained & doesn't even have a mirror. It was very disappointing and did not fit with the remainder of the restaurant or our experience. Overall I would recommend Lavo, but if you are disabled consider whether accessibility is going to be a problem.

Emilija makes the best cocktails 🤫

We received a warm welcome and shown to our table straight away, the atmosphere was excellent, although I found the lighting a little on the dark side, it still didn't take away the friendly atmosphere. I had the fish platter which was cooked to perfection with lots of flavours coming through, my taste buds were dancing. My partner had a fish dish which was also delicious. The staff were friendly and polite. If you want somewhere special to dine out and feel relaxed, Lavos is certainly the place to go. It's a little gem... the earlier review I gave was given from a night that Lavos were probably short staffed, these things happen but we are so glad we revisted, otherwise we would of missed out on a very special place... We will definitely be revisting.

Lovely ambience, food, staff but absolutely incredible cocktails. Very professional yet super friendly. My favourite haunt in Scunthorpe. No hesitation in recommending this place. Avoid Sunday's. Normally, excellent food and brilliant cocktails. But they have the "second division" on duty on Sunday's. Should have walked out the moment I saw the lady chef. That is the second inedible meal she has served. First blew the roof of my mouth off as she had used masses of Chilli. Today, the stroganoff was sour. Clams & mussels pasty. Still charged full wack even though didn't eat meal. Bar man's Marguerita was " watery". When it is good, it is very very good; but when it is bad, it is horrible. Thank God for pub food!

Usually great but avoid Sunday's when "second team" is on duty. The lady chef can't cook. She has given me two inedible meals. If she is on duty, walk away. Danni and the girls do incredible cocktails but on Sunday's there is a young man whose margaritas are " watery". Avoid Sunday's.

Ordered calzone and lasagne, while the food tasted nice it wasn't as good enough value for money, portions were measley and food quality was just above average. Definitely not worth £35

Busy service which is a good sign Staff are excellent food very good reasonably priced will certainly return

We celebrated our son's 21st and the staff couldn't do enough. Massive shout out to cat who made it extra special. Recommended

As someone who is forced to often get vegan food because I am lactose intolerant and the menu isn't clear may I just say that the menu was brilliant for allergies. Also the food was amazing, probably won't get the chips again because the pasta and garlic bread were alot but everything was incredible.

Avoid!!!!! lasagna & mozzarella pizza Lasagna came in a burnt bowl looked like charcoal / dog food, absolutely vile and boring! Mozzarella pizza looked like it had just been for a swim before it arrived. Dropping water vile to eat. Place is nicely decorated but food is absolutely 0/10 and told everyone to avoid

I’ve been to LAVO several times in the form of a la carte dinner, and with that I have NO complaints. The food was beautiful and the ambiance was lovely. However, yesterday we attended a bottomless brunch, and I could not have been more disappointed. It seemed there were 5-6 groups in for brunch and there was only me and my friend in our group. However, the fact we were waiting ten minutes at a time for our drinks to be filled was ridiculous. In an hour and a half we received four drinks- and for a bottomless brunch that is extremely disappointing. As for the food, I ordered a pepperoni pizza which was bland, but did the job. However, my friend ordered garlic bread with pesto and this arrived so oily that it was puddled within the garlic bread, and drowned in pesto. My friend didn’t eat much of hers. If you’re going, go for a la carte, they seem to care a little bit more. We were pretty much left. They even had the cheek to automatically add a service charge, which I asked to be taken off right away. If you are going to offer a bottomless brunch; the idea is that the glasses are never empty. Disappointing, and ended up going to Wetherspoons afterwards where we were given better food and at least got drinks in a timely manner.

The best pasta and garlic bread I've had, still arrived hot and the restaurant called because the just eat driver was lost so was late. Excellent service beautiful food 👌 😍

We have eaten in LAVO restaurant frequently and the food has always been to the highest of standards. The menu has a great selection of choices. We ordered pizzas with a side of chips and it didn’t not disappoint. Every one of us enjoyed our meal. Delivery was on time and will definitely be ordering again 😊

Best restaurant in Scunthorpe, quality, taste and pricing.

Amazing pizza! Freshly made and hot when arrived. Perfect for a Saturday night in!

Fabulous flavoursome food and amazing friendly staff. Would highly recommend a visit. Great value for money.

I booked a table for 7.30, it was a birthday meal, we turned up at 7.25 to be told our table wasn't ready as yet so we purchased a drink and sat and waited.... no one came to apologise for the wait we were just sat waiting, half an hour later we were still waiting for at least someone to come and inform us of what was happening. In the end we decided to just go eat somewhere else... definitely would not be returning

Food was fantastic, service was top quality. We went during lunch time so not very busy but had some good background music.
