Dani DonAugust 21, 2011The 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!!
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!
Shannon IvenerMay 4, 2014Hostesses aren't considerate of reservations. Food and waiters are awesome. In house DJ amazing. Club was alright - pretty small. Expensive drinks - $12 beer.
StageBuddyJune 21, 2013The restaurant upstairs has a Lavo Brunch every Saturday from 2:30pm-6pm and a dinner party on Sunday nights! Read more
BlackBook MagazineNovember 30, 2012"Lavo" means “I wash” in Italian, yet for some reason, the Saturday Champagne Brunch is not the picture of purity. Restaurant slash nightclub, with Pastis-esque trimmings upstairs. Read more
- Guest of a GuestJanuary 25, 2012Lavo is a new restaurant and nightclub from the ownership behind TAO, LAVO Las Vegas, Stanton Social and Avenue. It's a Southern Italian restaurant with an "uptown" ambiance. Read more
John KollerApril 14, 2013Kobe meatballs plus ricotta cheese on top is crazy good. Fried Oreos for dessert is also amazing.
Derf MagazineFebruary 20, 2013The trick to handling the door staff here is smile, tell them you totally know Shia Labeouf, and offer them a free detailing anytime at your import repair shop.
BoozeMenusJanuary 12, 2012Take everything you’ve ever thought brunch to be, add one of NYC’s hottest night club scenes and you have what brunch is like at LAVO on Saturdays. Read more
DevontaJune 4, 2013Had the Louie Salad with Lobster. Was pretty good and would like to try a few other things on the menu.
Serious EatsNovember 8, 2013A noisy, clubby midtown restaurant, with a nightclub upstairs that still pays attention to its food.
Dancing AstronautOctober 1, 2011Don't be discouraged by the LAVO door, since the amazing musical talent and posh decor make it worth the wait to get inside!
Connie ChiuOctober 28, 2018So fcking crowded. The dance floor is tiny and the worst part is that people are hella rude so they’re constantly shoving and spilling all over the place. The speakers are also way too loud.
Venus SantanaJanuary 13, 2012The food, drinks, and atmosphere was great for an afterwork hang out. They wanted $1500 to get into the club downstairs though. Crazy!!
NiHaLJanuary 2, 2012nightclub is a tourist place, restaurant has very delicious deserts. also best Saturday brunch parties ever
Try the Hummock Island Oysters by Westport Aquaculture. Hand picked exclusively for Lavo, these are by far the finest oysters in the world. See Vanity Fair December 2010 issue for more info.
What a blast on opening night! Service is great and the crowd is certainly worth coming here. Dress up and enjoy a glass of champagne
friday/saturday nights are dope. dj is on point. tough door. if your a guy plan on bringing 2 girls to your 1. preferably hot russian ones. dance your ass off.
Julie SosciaAugust 1, 2018Food is great, but make sure to expect a club/Meatpacking-style scene and dress to impress.
Casa DragonesJuly 2, 2013Savor the Seared Sea Scallops as you sip on Casa Dragones. Head downstairs to keep the evening going!
Jackie MarshallJuly 26, 2011Meatballs are to die for. Oysters go with west coast. & no somebody before thinking you can just walk in the nightclub!
Corinne PulitzerJanuary 10, 2014Try the Louie Chopped Salad with generous chunks of lobster...I order the dressing on the side.
Serge KassardjianNovember 6, 2010If you are here for dinner get the seafood platter. If you are here for the club, catch the live guitar that is mixed with the house music.
Andrea HongFebruary 23, 2014Would you like glow sticks with a side of oontz for dinner? If so, this is the place for you!
New York ObserverNovember 16, 2010Olympic ice skater Evan Lysacek told the Observer: "The hospitality of the club is what stood out to me. It feels like a very safe, comfortable environment." Read more
Glen BischoffApril 21, 2015Table location makes or breaks the night. Go on a Thursday and get one on the floor
LindsayApril 9, 2011Get past the botox and the thumping house music - the food here is solid. LOVE the Spaghetti w/ Kobe Meatballs & garlic bread.

Andre Botelho bastosMarch 25, 2012At the end take care of the security guys and managers. They are currupt and will do everything to have a fight or steal your money (bottle )
