This was our first time dining at Lamaro’s and it did not disappoint. Both steaks were full of flavour and cooked beautifully. Accompaniments were also delicious! The whole team were lovely and very helpful with answering any questions we had about the menu. I would definitely dine at Lamaro’s again.

Service is always impeccable. Spaghetti Marinara was excellent as it is always. Creme Broulee was also very good. Clare Castle is always our first choice to eat out, but you have to book, as it's very popular.

We had the parmo for dinner and I must say for $25 it was worth every cent. The parmo was fresh and the cheese top was yum. Chip's were crunchy and thick. The side salad was delicious also. Every thing was hot and fresh. Will be going back for Thursday night special.
