    Great place after a hike or a bike ride for a bite to eat or a cold beverage on the deck overlooking the meadow!

    Pianeta was absolutely incredible from start to finish. We came in not really knowing what to…read moreorder, and our server, Almandine, completely made the experience. She gave us her recommendations, we trusted her, and she did not steer us wrong once! We started with the bruschetta, which was unreal. Everything tasted so fresh--the combination of the veggies and fruit with the pesto and cheese was literal perfection. Such a good balance of flavors. I had the Pasta Di Olio, and I genuinely cannot say enough good things about it. The pasta tasted incredibly fresh, the flavors were perfect, and the sausage crumble took it to another level. Simple, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. My boyfriend couldn't decide what to order, so Almandine surprised him with the ravioli bolognese--and she nailed it. He loved it. Rich, flavorful, and basically comfort food at its finest. We finished with the chocolate polenta pudding, which was the perfect ending to the meal. So good. Between the food, the atmosphere, and especially Almandine's service, we had such a great experience. She was warm, knowledgeable, and made ordering so much fun. We will absolutely be back the next time we're in Truckee!

    There's a reason this place requires a reservation. The…read morefood is good. The service is fantastic. The atmosphere is romantic but lively. I realize that doesn't make sense. It was nice inside ... almost cozy like but still fun. The food menu is varied and has lots of great options. It was hard to decide what to eat since I wanted to try a lot. The wine list has some really nice (reasonably priced) options too. We started with the carpaccio which was presented with some grilled bread (which I love), a bit of arugula, parm, capers and lemons. The meat was tender and melted in your mouth. The char on the bread was perfection... just enough to give it a little something-something but the bread was still soft and chewable. I had the Risotto Di Mare (seafood risotto). It was packed with fish and shellfish... and came out steaming. I love when my food comes out so hot I have to blow on it. You know it just came off the stove. The husband had the Sausage and Tagliatelle. There was so much sausage that we took half back to our condo and scrambled it with our eggs with next morning. For dessert, we had the special banana cake. It doesn't sound great but it was the perfect dessert. Not heavy, not dense, not too sweet. And we shared a bottle of Nebbiolo. Our dinner bill before tip was $194. I found that reasonable since the portions were not skimpy and the quality was really good.

    Thank God for a Winery here! We were visiting from Hawaii & didn't realize a blizzard was coming…read more We booked an experience outside & was waiting at Boreal Mountain for our reserved time, but what should have been 10 mins to the Winery, was going to take us 1 hour, because of the snowstorm! We immediately called to see if we could reschedule as we know we would be back. They said we could come another day. Yay! We decided to go back when there wasn't a blizzard. Lol. We also upgraded our experience from smores & fireplace outdoors, to a YURT! Best decision ever & it was our BEST winery experience ever! It was just perfect & magical! The yurt had 2 heaters, but we quickly turned one off. It wAs equipped with blankets & pillows! It was so cozy feeling. Our table was so nicely decorated, like out of a magazine! The experience came with a charcuterie board and 5 wine tastings. Everything was so good! Not a fan of White wine, but it's something about high elevation wineries...makes white taste yummy! Ambiance was cozy, without the cold snow! We absolutely loved everything about it & we are super happy we booked it! This is a must to visit in Truckee!
