Five stars, no question. Bistro Del Lago has the perfect combination of upscale atmosphere and genuine warmth - the kind of place that works for date night or a family dinner. The newly updated bar is fantastic, the cocktails and wine list are excellent, and the food speaks for itself. Their Carbonara Al Sugo is the best I have ever had, and I have ordered it in Italy. Start with the burrata or prosciutto e melone and you will not be disappointed. Head chef Violet and the entire front-of-house team make every visit special. This place is a gem. read more

we started off with a hair on the glass of our soda. Then we had 2 Cesar salads and after taking a fork full of salad noticed a piece of plastic. Apparently their dressing cover had broke and that's what was in our salads! The food is overpriced and clearly little care is taken in presenting it. Not worth it! read more

Food is just ok and pricey for what you get. They note themselves on their website as a "romantic high-end restaurant" which is laughable. Purple walls with "loud" artwork, loud music, and fake leather tablecloths. Candlelight is a cheap battery-operated candle. read more

Just came here for dinner from out of town. I found it on yelp and glad I did. Amazing service, shout out to you Jaime- you're a real one! Food was also incredible and quick! Definately recommend read more

I believe they used to make their own pasta as stated on website but that's not the case anymore, too bad because we used to enjoy.

Wow. What an amazing restaurant family restaurant with 5* food and service! Big wide mushroom stuffed with plenty of delicious cheese. Whipped ricotta and many more. All that next to beautiful views of Evergreen lake from patio. read more

We're visiting from California, and this was our first time in Colorado what an amazing experience! The food here was absolutely incredible, full of flavor and beautifully presented. But what truly made our night special was our server Jamie she was beyond wonderful! Friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind, she made us feel so welcome and turned our dinner into an unforgettable experience. We'll definitely be coming back next time we're in town. Thank you for such a perfect evening! read more

Good service. LARGE portions (beware) and good food. The bread is baked on site and the pasta is imported from Italy. read more

Excellent food! Our family of five had two different pizzas (prosciutto & burrata), carbonara, spaghetti marinara, and tortellini. For dessert we shared a tiramisu. One of the best meals we have shared in a long while. It even passed the test of our student from Milan. Highly recommended! And no, this is not fast food. It's great food prepared from scratch so don't be in a hurry. Take the time to enjoy! read more

4 people dined Saturday 3/8/25. 3 of 4 found food poor to average. 2 shrimp dishes: the shrimp had shells on them and spicy to lips. Chicken Piccata dry, not buttery or lemony-had to ask for extra lemons. Menu way over priced, mussels $36, compare to 240 Union Restaurant at $17. $15 for an average glass of Chianti. Very limited menu that doesn't seem to change. No specials on a Saturday nite. Skip this place, over priced, average to lesser quality. Service was OK but when mentioning the dry chick piccata only received a smile. Ambiance: Art work to taste. read more

EXCELLENT ... EXCELLENT ... EXCELLENT My husband and I enjoyed dinner at Bistro Del Lago and enjoyed the fresh bread plate with a beautiful oil arrangement served on a wood heart-shaped board, then we enjoyed the Salsiccia + Marinara pizza along with the House Side Salad, and all three food items were over the top wonderful. We paired a bottle of Parducci Pino Noir with the meal and the wine was just lovely. Atmosphere - modern and elegant. The New York Times Square art legend Chris Kreig has his beautiful art in the restaurant. Just stunning. This is a family business with owner JR Iannaccone at the helm and daughter Violet as the Chef extraordinaire. This restaurant is an Evergreen Gem. If you wish to enjoy this Gem, be sure to call ahead for a reservation. We just love this place !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Wow. Sorry the photo is after the fact. We were looking on Yelp to find some Italian food, this was the 2nd closest option, the next option was in Denver, but we are so happy we chose Bistro Del Lago, the food was awesome, especially the bread and oils and the service was great. So happy we came here. read more

Bistro Del Lago - Carbonara Al Sugo - Italian Near Me - Evergreen, Colorado

Tried this place for the first time on Halloween. Loved it! The food and service (Carrie was wonderful!) excellent! My husband and I enjoyed an appetizer, pizza and dessert (pumpkin tiramisu to die for!) I had 2 glasses of wine and my husband had one cocktail. All this and bill only came to $104. Very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. We can't wait to go back! read more

Reliable and consistently tasty Italian food. Despite short staffing a couple times, we got what we ordered with some wait. But ambience (live music) and lively and friendly service and other patrons made the wait seem less long. read more

We had dinner at Bistro del Lago after seeing it by the lake and wanting to try it. We got the burrata caprese, the Caesar salad, and the carbonara. EVERYTHING was delicious! Plus the staff was super kind and helpful. We will definitely be back to try the spaghetti and meatballs, chicken Parmesan, and the pizza! read more

The food was ok but the service wasn't great. They seemed overwhelmed and it was a tiny restaurant. The high top tables are uncomfortable. Overall a mediocre experience for a restaurant that's supposed to be nice. read more

This place is horrible. We had a reservation at 6p, and the food wasn't served until after 8p. When the food did come out the ravioli was cold and the carbonara tasted like water. Carbonara should be rich, and it was literally water. There was 6 of us, and not a single person was satisfied with their meal. read more

This is the type of hidden gem that I love to find for an exquisite and relaxing meal. Take your time, order a bottle of wine and pace yourself. The food was outstanding, the service felt homey and inviting. We started with the crostini and oil, had the whipped ricotta appetizer, shared a grilled Caesar salad with chicken, and each got a pasta dish with a side of meatballs for the table. Everything was excellent. Paired with a nice bottle of Montepulciano for a really reasonable price. They also do brunch on the weekend. Will definitely be making a trip back up for that! It was like a 30 min drive from Denver. Easy peasy. read more

The food was good, when it finally arrived. the menu is... eclectic. Alas, the service can only be described as horrendous. we waited over an hour for bread - with 2 kids ravenous. There is an obvious shortage of wait staff. Perhaps the owner could take what he's paying for an overly loud musician to hire anoth server or two. Altogether, a serious disappointment. read more

Dined there 6/1/2024. Overall, the food was good, especially the appetizers like the burrata! However, service was slow and live music was terrible!! My friends and I were very unhappy that a one-man-band ruined our evening with his amplified saxophone and pre-recorded music. It was so loud!! We couldn't have a conversation! My friend asked the waiter if the musician could turn down his amplifier. The waiter made some excuse why he couldn't. Why do we tolerate such loud music? It's not "cool" to say anything? My ears are still ringing.... and then smoke started billowing from the kitchen. Not sure what they were burning. A friend thought they may have been cleaning the grill. At any rate, they had no concern for their customers' experience. I will never go there again. read more

Amazing food! We went on a Saturday night early evening, which was a good choice because they get full. Service is fine dining speed so if you're expecting things to be quick, it ain't gonna happen. The kitchen is small with two cooks and everything is made to order. We had the whipped ricotta and burrata caprese to start. Absolutely delish! I got the ravioli and my husband got the carbonara. Both excellent flavors and portions after two apps. Overall, a great experience and would recommend. We would go back for an intimate dinner again. read more

It was good but I expected a bit more. The food was good, the service was ok and the atmosphere was basic. The charcuterie board was large and had several flavors; we went big here. Caprese salad was under-whelming. Lobster ravioli was, I dunno, dry. The bread and oil was fantastic. Friends who live in Evergreen liked it better than a local competitor. I have to admit that the waiter's inability to remember / record our cocktail order caused me to question whether he was hard of hearing, stoned or both...even though we repeated the order, they managed to bring something that was nowhere near a Negroni. Hard to figure since it is a classic Italian cocktail listed on the menu. read more

My wife and I were driving through Evergreen looking for a place to eat but all the restaurants were packed so we stopped to get take out from the Chinese restaurant. As we were waiting, we walked past Bistro Del Lago and were immediately drawn in by the bright and friendly space. We did not know that this restaurant was even open as we never saw any advertisements for it. We put the takeout in the car, grabbed a table and decided to eat dinner at Bistro Del Lago. We were not disappointed as the food was excellent. We shared the burrata for an appetizer and I had the chicken Parm and she had the ravioli dinner. The raviolis were home made and the sauce was just like moms. The chicken was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The wine selection was good and we enjoyed two classes of Pinot. We both grew up outside the Philadelphia area and are familiar with Italian food from that area of the country. It turns out that owner is from Jersey City, a few hour drive from Philadelphia. While I hate to give a great review because Bistro Del Lago will also be packed very soon, the restaurant deserves 5 stars. It is great to finally have an excellent Italian Restaurant in Evergreen. read more

Just ate at Bistro Del Lago for the first time but certainly not the last. Maybe the best meal I have had in years. The ravioli with sage butter and Italian sausage is to die for. I live in New Jersey but now have another reason to visit this area. read more

Brunch was delicious!!! We had a frittata with a bruschetta like ingredients. So so good! Also we had French toast with lemon and blackberry compote. Also so so good! We will be back :) read more

excellent and different take on gourmet italian..friendly staff, reasonable wine prices. wish I lived close enough to make it a neighborhood go to.... read more

Colorado Native here. Had a reservation. Sat down and got delayed service from the start. Finally ordered an appetizer and bottle of wine. Sat there for another 15 minutes and got a dinner order in. Over an hour later. No food. Nothing. No service. Finally they made a bunch of excuses about the kitchen. Others around us had their food. They screwed up and couldn't admit it. Pretty pathetic. Paid for the wine and left. Not impressed. Too bad as this area needs good restaurants. This isn't one. read more

Best Italian food we've had since moving to Colorado 5 years ago. Quirky art, cool vibe, nice service. Upscale food, but casual comfortable environment. We had a charcuterie board, and angel hair pasta with meatballs and marinara that were all nicely presented, and all clearly made fresh in house. We will be going back again for sure. read more

Bistro Del Lago - Charcuterie board...the small portion! - Italian Near Me - Evergreen, Colorado

My boyfriend and I came across this gem of a restaurant. We loved it the food was incredible. The service was outstanding and the waitress she was extremely friendly. The restaurant was very clean and- just wow!! It is a small place but well worth Putting in a reservation because it is a smaller place. 10 out of 10. They do Italian food right!! read more

Bistro Del Lago - Appetizers. - Italian Near Me - Evergreen, Colorado

I cannot sing this restaurant's praises more. This is exactly what I would hope for in a local Italian restaurant. The food is so seasonal and elevated, our five year old doesn't want to eat anywhere else in Evergreen. Fantastic pizza, homemade pasta, and incredible wine selection. The staff is the most personable I have met, and its location right next to the lake could not be better. read more

This spot is an absolute gem! We have had some of the most memorable evenings at Bistro Del Lago - the food is delicious and the service is charming! The entire staff - from bartender to host to kitchen crew is delightful and committed to ensuring that they make you feel special. This is not a restaurant to grab a quick bite, it is a dining experience and opportunity to enjoy the fun ambiance, yummy food and fabulous hospitality! As an extra special treat, some evenings they have live music. It enhances the energetic, festive vibe and somehow engages the entire restaurant so that it feels like you are at a party. It's almost like you've been welcomed into someone's home and they are serving their grandmother's marinara. This spot is Evergreen at its finest - quirky, authentic charm! PS - The charcuterie boards are some of the best in CO. read more

We found Bistro Del Lago to be the perfect brunch place! The service was friendly and efficient and the food was fantastic! We had a delightful table and comfy chairs with a view of the lake. read more

EVERY time we go here it's perfect . It's delicious, the staff is wonderful and the food is amazing. The quality of the food is off the charts and the drinks are great too! Do yourself a favor and get the bread with oil- you won't be disappointed! read more

Excellent food and amazing Italian wine list. We have had two great dinners here and plan to head back soon.

Our food and atmosphere are fantastic! The food definitely has the home cooked Italian flavor you don't get at a lot of places. Highly recommend this restaurant read more

We went here for dinner tonight. The place is just downright weird. Think cowboy hats for waiters and bartenders and country music coupled with an overpriced mediocre Italian menu. I can get my head around that in a bar or pub for burgers but this menu is ridiculously overpriced. On a Saturday night we were one of three tables. Service was okay but loud and so is the music. The decor is snake eyes or elephants mixed with pop art and weird paintings. Had the pesto tortellini with chicken. Chicken was really dry and pesto was flavorless. Parents had spaghetti with meatballs for about $25, amy dish was about 23 plus $10 for chicken. I tried three glasses of wine that were awful and settled on a bland Pinot Grigio. A table of ten sat down when we were leaving and all walked out complaining about a $23 salad. I agree. Won't return. read more

We decided to give this place a try for brunch and the experience was beyond strange and weird... The server we had was nice but seemed to maybe be really high or just extremely out of it. Also didn't have the most professional presentation. I will spare you the details and let you know that we ended up leaving and not ordering entrees. Best of luck to another weird and not very good restaurant in evergreen... read more

Best Charcuterie Board in town, by far! Love the ambience and warmth, a great addition to Evergreen!

Came here for dessert and drinks one night and it was perfect. The service especially was warm and welcoming, the desserts top-notch, and although I am not a wine person, the cocktails were delicious. read more

Amazingly delicious, elegant and beautiful food in this quaint bistro by Evergreen Lake. Wonderful flat breads (thin and crispy!) and beautiful large shareable salads. You must visit this place. It's a chic little Italian bistro . They have some new seasonal menu options dripping on May 31!! read more
