My fave club in NYC. Great DJs, good atmosphere.
Bitches Who BrunchNovember 17, 2015
The Bitches say: A+. Not only was the brunch fare fantastic, this was the best day party I’ve been to, period. Guaranteed to have a blast with your friends, and the awesome music is a plus! Read more

Had the prefix lunch it was a great deal. The muscles were good, the penne a la vodka was ok, could done without the peas, the Nutella pudding was heavenly,it is a must. Their truffle fries a must!

This mega meatball, made of beef, veal and sweet Italian sausage boils in sauce for three hours - six times longer than Lavo's regular meatballs. Servers have to quarter it so it's easier to tackle. Read more

Lavo is pretty upscale & pretentious.Upstairs is a fine Italian dining with great food, wine & service.The line gets insanely huge definitely you should know a promoter so the experience is smoother.

Their spaghetti with meatballs is amazing and you must try the Oreo Zeppoli for dessert! My only complaint is that they don't have red Sangria and it's an Italian restaurant.

Impression you get when you walk in and the kind of feel you get after you are seated are probably very different. So sit back relax and enjoy. Obviously you should try meatballs but all food is solid

Lobster pizza amazingly different. Plain cocktails. If you have gone to clubs in London, Paris and Athens,I don't think that in Lavo you can have an unbelievable experience. Not bad but nthng special

Restaurant week menu was delicious. My choices: Tuna Tartare and Gemelli Pasta. Everything so tasty and the attendance is excellent.
Mario GagliardiJune 16, 2014
Opulent, entertaining, and exciting. This nightclub set below and attached to a fine Italian dining restaurant is an experience. Come here for a young and fresh night!
Tarah FeinbergJune 27, 2012
Try the Tuna Tartare With Avocado And Arugula - 1 of the benefits of working in the Hearst building - great chefs visit the cafe sometimes. This was superb.

With a buzzy nightclub and a restaurant serving southern Italian cuisine, one could opt to dance off the calories after enjoying a Kobe meatball, lobster-scampi pizza, and their Oreo zeppoles.

Strategic Group knows their niche and caters to it very well. If you love House/EDM and big name DJs, then this is your scene whether its Saturday afternoon or Thursday night. Chic/trendy crowd. Read more

Brunch is great, service is excellent. A bit pricey, but its more fine dining. Not too busy for sunday brunch

The seafood selections are great! The service is top of the line. This a great atmosphere for happy hour or a group dinner.
Mila MilaAugust 17, 2014
The loui salad is light and refreshing with some nice vinegarette dressing and delicate lobster pieces. The service was excellent!!

skip the bar, go right to the food. top notch italian inspired. DJ's are great, but live music awaits you nearby...like Roseland...
M. Silver AssociatesJanuary 11, 2012
Restaurant AND dance club? Yep, all in one - great for one stop in the night: food, drinks, dance and vibrant crowd of fun and fab New Yorkers...Easier to enter before 11pm! Always lines on weekends.
Buket GulerMarch 27, 2014
Really nice restaurant with a nice food and atmosphere. NY steak and oreo dessert were really good, def recommend them!
Lauren DFebruary 9, 2017
Great food! Mussels Marinara, Ribeye Steak + truffle fries, and deep fried Oreos?! Yes please!!
JenniferMay 20, 2012
Waygu meatballs are ridiculous in the best way possible as are the Kobe rice balls. And the filet mignon is decent too. Just order a bunch of different things and share with your group.
Sandra van LintApril 3, 2017
Loved the music night that Sam Feldt was performing. Lavo Brunch is also something you should do when you live in NY.
Elie KardousNovember 13, 2011
One of the hottest clubs in the US - tough to get in, but once you're in, you're transformed to a world of European Glamour, Eastern European models, and AMAZING House music.
Eduardo MekitarianNovember 12, 2011
A real italian experience. Servers are great, and the spaghetti with kobe meatballs is probably the best in NYC. A little expensive, of course, But worths every penny!

Besides club this place actually has awesome pizzas and cocktails. My favorite drink is called Bianca, a must-try.
Viking Real WorldMarch 17, 2013
Amazing chocolate roulade that goes perfectly with the German chocolate cake shot. Outstanding!!
Irene MarouklasJanuary 27, 2016
Quality Italian food. Seafood was very good, accompanied by an iced sangria!
Marie La RueNovember 21, 2018
Visited for their famous Brunch parties. Mostly large groups celebrating an event so expect a Champagne/Fireworks parade every 15 minutes. Gets old fast.
GhaidaAugust 21, 2016
Great atmosphere and service. Try the lobster soup, the oysters, and the seafood Alfredo.
Marella MataMay 25, 2013
If you are a dessert lover... Get the Oreo Zeppelin OMG so good! Besides the fact that every single item in the menu is amazing!

To know: The Hangover burger is very large, the thinking being that getting full is the only way to attack a hangover head-on. Read more

Hostesses aren't considerate of reservations. Food and waiters are awesome. In house DJ amazing. Club was alright - pretty small. Expensive drinks - $12 beer.
Leticia MurakawaOctober 8, 2011
You can feel the music and just move your body on the dance floor. It's amazing the magic of the especial efects... It's a 'fresh' place to go - just enjoy

For an intimate date night or a relaxed dinner with friends, come in on a Sunday or Monday evening. Be sure to try the Clams Oreganato, the Kobe Meatball and the Bread Pudding.
Lucy MariaNovember 9, 2013
Hands down the spaghetti with Kobe meatballs are a must to try. So delicious! Friendly service and great atmosphere.
Mary ChanDecember 18, 2013
Good Kobe meatballs! My favorite drink is the Bellini and oh yea their garlic bread amazing ( extra garlic)
FaisalOctober 11, 2016
Portions are too big.. And the food is really heavy
Virginia L.August 21, 2014
Filet mignon is perfect, best old fashioned of my life, Oreo zeppole are the stuff of my dreams. (Oreo #client)

16 oz meatballs are called 16 oz for a reason... theyre HUGE. ALWAYS split, have a bite and stick with the raw bar appetizers. Enjoy!
Max SamisSeptember 28, 2011
The baked ricotta meatball is one of the most enticing items on the menu. Between that dish and the massive portion of tuna tartare I rarely have room for an entree.

Champagne brunch on Saturdays!!! Best party ever!
Julie SosciaJanuary 27, 2019
Food is great, but make sure to expect a club/Meatpacking-style scene and dress to impress. After hours on Saturdays consist of House music.
Guillaume GouinNovember 30, 2014
Good DJ's and nice music, but a little bit expensive for drink !
Fatima Al HashimiAugust 17, 2019
Great lunch venue. Portions are big, & food is amazing.
🅱🅰🅱 AlpAugust 15, 2017
One of the best night club in NY. I had a crazy night over there. I would strongly recomend that to visit there, if you need to have fun.
Jessica MonahanAugust 9, 2012
Wow. Absolutely delicious. Great decor and service. I recommend the decadent sea bass 110%. And the strawberry shortcake.
Serious EatsNovember 8, 2013
A noisy, clubby midtown restaurant, with a nightclub upstairs that still pays attention to its food.
Dani DonAugust 21, 2011
The nightclub is definitely the place to be! Awesome music, drinks a bit pricey but do-able!! If you're in the mood to dance, go here!!
