Please take advantage of the public comment period which ends Thursday, April 6th Thursday, April 20th by sending an email with your comments concerning construction noise and hours of operations here:

Carla Leonardi
While yesterday’s opening of Portage Bay’s Little Lago may have been quiet, inside was anything but! Laughter & chatter filled the space when owner Carla Leonardi fired up the oven and 
opened Little Lago’s doors to those who have been anxiously following Little Lago on Instagram or Facebook.
A simple photo was posted announcing the soft opening as final details will be completed in the coming weeks (deli & gelato).
Yours truly stopped by and enjoyed an absolutely perfect pizza at the beautiful wood bar while Carla tossed pizza dough and promised to teach my little ones her secrets.
In addition to our tasty pizza, I picked up a bottle of one of my favorite white wines from the wine wall.
I won’t give away all the details, do yourself a favor and stop by this little gem and order up a pizza or calzone while you peruse the shelves.
