​A Lagosta, located in the heart of Philadelphia, is a true gem. for seafood lovers Like me,This is not just a meal; it's a celebration of fresh, perfectly prepared ingredients, served in an atmosphere that is both inviting and elegant. ​While the entire menu is impressive, the true stars of the show are undoubtedly their signature seafood dishes. We specifically sought out the shrimps and lobster in garlic sauce, and it exceeded every expectation. The dish was a rich, savory blend of butter, garlic, and sea salt. ​The lobster meat was tender, sweet, and succulent, cooked to absolute perfection. The shrimp were plump, fresh, and snapped with every bite. What truly sets this dish apart is the garlic sauce. It is intensely flavorful, ​Beyond this standout dish, the service was attentive and

My recent visit to this restaurant was a mixed experience. The soup resembled a dish that you would find at a hospital rather than a restaurant. The grilled octopus, though flavorful, disappointed in portion size, offering only four small pieces with the salad. The pasta, on the other hand, stood out as the highlight of the meal. Despite the delicious flavors, the high prices seemed a bit much for servings they give. The service was lacking, and the lengthy wait for the food, exceeding an hour, tested my patience. A bit of remodeling and improved service could elevate this place to its full potential!

Service is below par. Went with a group of 7 for a bday, food and drinks took long to come to the table. One entree was not even put in, 1 person had to get their food to go, while everyone else in their party already ate. Food is good and not cheap service should not be so terrible. Just disrespectful to your customers like you don't care.

On a last minute decision we stopped by on our way back to Massachusetts and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious, the servings plenty and the staff exceptional.
