10 Best Italian Restaurants near Stateline

“Quaint little restaurant tucked in a quiet place. The food and service was really good. We took our baby in a stroller and the folks didn’t bat an eye. She had a high chair to herself as well.

The namesake bruschetta was delicious and different from what I have had before. They also had a side of corn which all of us really liked.“

“I had the caesar salad and the lasagna and both were really good. The service was great. My waiter was very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. And the views from this restaurant are amazing! I would definitely recommend eating here!“

“This was an amazing find. Everything was wonderful from the service to the food. Highly recommend! If you can get a reservation, go!“

“6 of us had a superb meal. The server was attentive, but forgot to mention the rolls had powdered garlic after I had told him I had a intolerance of Powdered and dried garlic.. I ordered the Lobster ravioli, which was an appetizer, for my dinner and a dinner sized portion was served. It was delicious and I devoured the whole dinner. Will come again when we are in the are.“

“This wonderful little place checks all the boxes. 1) The food is great and reasonably priced. Our party of four for lunch ordered two pizzas and one pasta and nobody left hungry. Everything we ordered was delicious and my companions were genuinely impressed. The pizza menu has some great offerings you don’t see too often outside Italy, including arugula and prosciutto atop pizza. The pasta and sauces are made in-house by the owner from northern Italy as well!! The beer and wine list is small, but well curated with something for everyone. Even the espresso exceeded my expectations. 2) The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Even if you peek inside the open kitchen you’ll find everything clean, neat, and organized. 3) Most importantly, the staff, including the warm owners, are hospitable and welcoming. Everyone was kind and all of our needs were taken care of without our having to ask. A family with two younger children came in after us and they were given the same care and attention that we received. Our experience from the moment we walked in to the moment we left was top-notch and I can’t recommend the place enough.“

“We made a same-day reservation and were seated right on time. Our server was excellent--efficient and attentive. The garlic bread appetizer was great! My husband had the Paisano rigatoni that was delicious and spicy. I had the excellent fettuccini alfredo. As an added bonus, we had affordable, excellent wine by Ferrari-Carano. Will definitely go back next time we are in Tahoe.“

“Items from salad bad were pretty old and they need to be replaced, for example the beets have seen better days, texture and flavor were little weird. Then the chicken marsala was not what we expected, we have never seen this recipe with tomatoes before, that was pretty weird. But the chicken was well seasoned“

“Pizza was so delicious! Definitely brought east coast pizza to the west coast and I’d easily drive 2+ hours just to eat a Vinny’s pizza! 🍕“
