Lavoro Italiano Restaurant - Rockingham

Saturday afternoon Lunch with the family. Lavoro is always reliable to serve delicious food, generous portions with variety to ensure the whole family are able to find something to enjoy. Today I had the Lamb Cutlets, cooked to the chef’s recommendation of medium rare. They did not disappoint. Another great experience at our local Family owned Italian restaurant.

We were here on Saturday night with a party of 38 Lions from our District Convention and they were magnificent, the front of house staff were fantastic and handled the large party very well. They were all smiling, efficient and fast even with the rest of the restaurant full too. Our food was delivered hot, fresh and delicious, no one was missed and nothing looked or tasted like it had been waiting on the pass. When it cam time to pay, they allowed everyone to pay individually. Fantastic!!! I would recommend Lavoro to anyone whether a couple, or a small or large party.

Always a pleasure to come here. Probably been here more than dozen times. Lavoros is a place with a regular menu plus a blackboard with their specials. The specials seem to change constantly. Ordered squid rings. Crab linguine and gnocchi with mushrooms and bacon. Squid rings came out first. Tender. Tasteful and not overcooked. Seasoned correctly. Aioli sauce was good also. Gnocchi and linguine came out together. Gnocchi was creamy. Smooth. Full of flavor, accompanied by mushrooms and bacon. Everything was cooked perfectly. Normally I avoid gnocchi because it generally gets overcooked but that was not the case tonight. The crab linguine was different than the one I had just recently at oceanic bar and grill. Similar in some scopes however this crab linguine had hints of roasted vegetables. Smokey flavors. And a bit of spice. Overall a great linguine. The smokeyness did overpower the crab. And the crab meat was kinda small. But still a good linguine. 9.5/10

Food is good, there’s some staff members not even concentrating of what I ordered instead of mocha she bring us another bottle of water and I call another staff member but she pass me on to another person.

Had a late lunch on father's day, they were getting ready for a rush hour dinner but welcomed us with courtesy. We had our dog with us, no problem! We had a feel of a Parisian cafe with our table on the footpath, a dog patiently waiting for us. Excellent service and yummy food.. we had the Polo Avocado and Garlic Bread and kids had the Margherita pizza.
