Saw all the great reviews, so I thought we have to go there for dinner. As I arrived , I can see people waiting outside (must be busy), still I added my name to the wait list, it was about 1 hour when we got called. Read about the history of the place and Mama Lanza as we waited. Loved the atmosphere, there is a bar to the right as you enter and the main part of the restis to the left. They also have outside seating (picnic tables). They have a kids menu and descent size portions....read full review
Portions are huge, flavor is delicious. Friendly staff and quick service.
Best comfort food in Tahoe. We come every trip to Tahoe and it never disappoints!

With its nostalgic decor, including dust-free lampshades and plush tablecloths, it provides a comfortable dining experience. Guests have praised the generous portions and flavorful classic old-school Italian fare. Highlights include the house-baked sourdough bread, a huge side salad, and standout dishes like mushroom ravioli and lasagna, both made with care. The minestrone soup is also a favorite, packed with vegetables.

One reviewer noted the excellent hospitality during a birthday celebration, where the staff went above and beyond to ensure a memorable evening, even bringing out a free dessert of spumoni ice cream. Many diners appreciate the reasonable prices for the quality of food offered. Lanza's is described as a gem, with a family feel that keeps guests returning weekly. Overall, Lanza's Restaurant is a great spot for anyone seeking a satisfying, feel-good meal in a relaxed environment.
