I decided to dine here thanks to local Yelpers' reviews - otherwise I wouldn't probably have found…read morethe well hidden venue. I enjoyed the dinner at a lake viewing terrace. As for a weekday it was pretty busy. All the staff appeared friendly and not too mention an Italian guy looking as a Chef or perhaps the owner popping up a couple of times and chatting with customers. For starter I had Antipasti Fantasia: nicely dressed smoked salmon and small shrimps under mayonnaise sauce with some herbs. A really good start! I asked for some bread for it but didn't get it. Another waitress recollected this when I was done with the dish. For main course I had a Day's special i.e. Lasagna con frutti di mare - perhaps the portion is not huge but it is worth the effort, I tell you. Dessert: Huge (self)disappointment! Here came out my lack of awareness of local culture. I ordered wonderfully and thrilling sounding Amarenensorbet and as a result I needed to face a nicely looking cup of MILK ice-cream with whipped cream and sour cherries that the latter I love but it was not I'd meant when ordering. (Referring to Wikipedia afterwards; Although the term sorbet in the Netherlands is used for a long time for a coupe of ice consisting of scoops ice cream, topped with fruit sauce and served with fruit and whipped cream, this meaning in the better restaurants disappeared for many years. In Flanders this sense has never been used.) Considering all the event emotions, I'd say Il Lago still deserves at least good four Yelp stars. Grazie mille!
