“La Strada is a must-visit restaurant for me when I visit Reno. The service is spectacular. The espresso martinis are marvelous. I’m gluten-sensitive so I appreciate the scallop dish on the menu. While the ingredients change with the seasons, they keep it gluten free. Many thanks!“

“The best restaurant in Reno. The food is fresh and authentic. The staff is what makes this restaurant a perfect 10, especially Heidi who is genuinely happy to serve her customers to the manager in blue button up greeting and checking in, well done! Best meal ever every time. Thank you“

“Had an amazing dinner at ZoZo's with my girlfriend. We got the calamari as an appetizer, Ceaser salads, the Lobster Ravioli and Bowtie Carbonara, a large glass of red wine and a chocolate martini. It was all amazing and delicious and their garlic bread is perfect! Highly recommend for a nice Italian dinner in Reno!“

“We had a large group of 12. Some of the food was great, some ok, but on dish was returned - the pork chop. It was over cooked and the sauce was burnt. It was returned and another dish was not ordered. We waited almost 2 hours for our main corse. Seated at 7, dove at 10. When we got the bill, they charged us for the pork chop. We asked for it to be taken off the bill and the owner said no. I and many of the 12 would never patronize this restaurant again. For the price of one meal, she just lost multiple customers. Own up when the cooking is not up to par. In addition, we could not dive the tab up with multiple credit cards.“

“For romantic dinner beautiful restaurantr .“

“I wish you would bring back the lunch chicken piadina and the smoked cheese mushroom ravioli. These are my favorite.“

“We visited to celebrate our grandparents’ 67th wedding anniversary and couldn’t have chosen a more perfect spot. The food, ambiance, and attentive service were all exceptional. Jeremiah, our server, went above and beyond to make the occasion truly memorable. Our meal featured a delightful selection of dishes including the burrata salad, veal parmigiana, veal piccata scallopini, minestrone soup, and we finished with a decadent Amaretto ricotta cheesecake. Every dish was exquisite, making the evening one to remember.“

“Beautiful place, love the concept and the atmosphere. Had multiple drinks throughout the dinner, which were all delicious. Started with a caprese salad to share, and for $16... Really small. We also ordered the fried seafood which was delicious and a reasonable amount for the cost.

For the mains we had the shrimp and scallop spaghetti special, which was reasonable. The shrimp and scallops were cooked beautifully, but the pasta was lackluster. Seemed really dry like the pasta was made and was sitting (maybe under a heat lamp) waiting for the shrimp and scallops to be added. Almost seemed like microwaved leftover pasta with oil drizzled on top. The other pasta we ordered was the tagliatelle ragu which was better than the special. Softer noodles, with a great sauce.

Overall glad we went here. Will definitely give them another shot, and maybe not order a pasta next time. If they wanted to step up their game, make the pasta in-house.“

“I absolutely love this restaurant. They have the best food in town aside from Nona's kitchen and the service is amazing too. They are always kind and go the extra mile to make everyone comfortable.“

“I had the gluten free Fettuccine Alfredo and was delighted. I don't think this is an option anywhere else in Reno/Sparks. My husband had chicken parm, which he said was also delicious. One day later I am not sick. The servers were lovely and helpful. The only other gluten free option was lasagna. I will try that next time. This is an authentic Italian restaurant, so the flavors are different from Americanized versions.

“Absolutely AMAZING pizza, literally the best I've had in years! This family-owned business has a super friendly team who you can tell they care a lot about. The hidden patio on the side is so beautiful. Don't walk, RUN, and enjoy!“

“innovative and delicious take on pastas and pizzas, great and friendly staff, attentive and prompt service. Their Boulevardier is on point and one of my faves.“

“Amazing food The sauce is delicious and the meatballs are perfection We love the food and service at this hidden gem“

“New favorite pizza place in South Reno. Italian salad was very fresh and good dressing. The pizza crust was thin the way we like it and the toppings were generous. No excess grease either!“

“the meatball sando is phenomenal. the take home meals like spaghetti and meatballs or the lasagna or delicious. freshly made by the owner. highly recommend this place as you will not be disappointed!!!“

“I recently had the pleasure of trying the innovative Pasta in Parmigiana Wheel concept at Pasta La Vista, and it was a truly unforgettable experience! This new Italian restaurant has taken the classic pasta dish to a whole new level.

The presentation alone is worth a visit - a beautifully hollowed-out Parmigiano-Reggiano wheel filled with steaming hot, freshly cooked pasta. But it's not just about looks; the flavors and textures come together in perfect harmony. The pasta is cooked to perfection, and the melted Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese adds a rich, creamy sauce.

What sets this dish apart is the interactive experience. You get to scrape the inside of the cheese wheel to create a personalized sauce, making each bite unique. It's a fun and engaging way to enjoy your meal.

The portion size is generous, and the prices are reasonable considering the high-quality ingredients and unique presentation. The service was attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting.

If you're looking for a fresh take on traditional Italian cuisine, look no further than Pasta La Vista and their incredible Pasta in Parmigiana Wheel concept. It's a must-try for pasta lovers and foodies alike! Buon appetito!“

“My friends from Reno took me here for my first time to this restaurant that's their go to place. Staff knows them by name and I can see why they go there often. Their food looked great and my lamb chops were good and reasonably priced. (Check out what lamb chops cost in the supermarket). Check it out. You will not be disappointed.“

“Very nice crust, worth eating. Pizza is delicious. Better than other wood fired pizza in the area. Ranch is unique and well suited to dipping pizza. Highly recommend this place. Picture is all that was left from 2 pizzas shared between 2 people.

“My husband and I had Macaroni Grill cater our pasta bar at our welcome party the night before our wedding and we LOVED it! They were great to work with and everybody couldn’t stop talking about how great the food was! I would definitely recommend working with Lance and Brandon for any of your catering needs!“
