Wor Wonton Soup
Arielle A.

This place is honestly my go to restaurant when I stay at Peppermill. They have a plethora of menu options, they're open 24 hours, they're just a walk away from the hotel rooms, and the food is absolutely delicious. The inside is spacious, elevated, and welcoming, and the staff are nice. I love how their nametags also include their ethnicity. During one of our visits, we had a server who was from the Philippines and my family bonded over that because we are also Filipino. I tried different things from the sandwich menu. Their Chilled Deli sandwich is a fan favorite, and I enjoyed it very much. I also tried and enjoyed their Clubhouse sandwich. I also tried things from the Asian menu, namely the Asian Sampler, Wonton Soup, and Stir Fry Vegetables. All of them hit the spot, and those were enough to feed three people. The ambience is nice and chill, and I'd definitely come back whenever I'm in the area.

Alfredo with shrimp
Jordan F.

Update for special dining option for New Years: Absolutely loved the special dining menu for the holiday! To be expected, it was CRAZY busy, and the restaurant was packed! Food was good though, and price point was right for the amount of food I got. Our server wasn't really attentive to our table, so that was disappointing.

NY steak and eggs-tender and flavorful.
Ruby B.

For as long as we've lived in Reno, this was our very first time at Café Milano in the Peppermill. My cousin was here to visit during hot August nights and stayed at the Peppermill. We met them here for breakfast. The restaurant has a huge menu with so many choices. They're also open until 11 o'clock pm which is a great thing to know. I ordered the NY steak and eggs, which comes with hash brown and toast. Happily the steak was tender and flavorful. It was cooked as ordered. Hashbrowns and eggs were good too! Other things that were ordered were the veggie omelette the Joe's Special and a Garden omelette. Everyone loved their breakfasts. Everyone said the food had lots of flavor and well prepared. The portions are very generous and enough for leftovers. Service from Luis was very professional and attentive and nice. Great feeling of being an old-school type of establishment with the hard-working staff and the traditional menu. As a local, I would certainly return to try other things on the menu for lunch and dinner.. It's a pretty dining space with lots of choices, which is great when everybody wants something different.

Spaghetti (kids portion)
Alexandra W.

Cafe Milano is exactly what you expect from a larger casino - massive menu, big portions comfort food. We ordered the kid's spaghetti, kid's French toast, and a chorizo breakfast burrito. The kids' meals did their job - simple, familiar, and filling. Nothing fancy, but the kids were happy and that counts for a lot when you're dining with littles. Portions were generous, so we took home leftovers. The chorizo breakfast burrito was flavorful, hearty, and satisfying.. though not mind-blowing. Breakfast seems to be one of their stronger lanes, but like many have said in other reviews, consistency can be hit or miss. Ours was good, just not hot-off-the-griddle great. Service was friendly and efficient, and the space is clean and casual. Prices feel a little high for diner-style food, but we're all keeping up with the economy. Bottom line: This is a dependable, family-friendly option when you want lots of food & lots of choices. Not somewhere I'd go out of my way for, but great when you're already at the Peppermill.

Grown-up grilled cheese $13.50
Gretel Y.

My friend and I were craving a light night snack after a long day of travel and work. I really wanted fries in particular. We stayed at Peppermill and Café Milano was one of our few late night options that served fries. The restaurant looks nice yet still casual. We were greeted right away and we let the staff know we just wanted to order takeout. They handed us a menu then took our order. We both opted for the grown-up grilled cheese $13.50. They quoted us a 15-minute wait so we decided to run up to our room to change. By the time we returned, our food was ready. We immediately devoured our sandwiches, which hit the spot. The sandwiches were big and came with plenty of fries. We probably could have shared one order, but we didn't know. Consider Café Milano if you need a late night option!

Menu

Driving through the area and decided to stop in for brunch. The menu was eclectic. I ended up with the war wonton with egg noodle soup. My boo had the steak and eggs l. My brother went with the pastrami burger. Overall flavor for all entrees were a bit on the bland side. I wasn't impressed with the wontons either. The skin was a little too thick and tended to fall apart when I picked it up with my chopsticks. I wasn't very impressed with the service we got from our waitress though. She was very peasant and even got jokes . So that offset the bland food.

Veggie omelette
Heather M.

Wow!! Loved everything we had here!! HUGE proportions!! We easily split our entrees. A very diverse menu which I wish I made more time to try everything. The chicken quesadilla had the best cheese pull and chilis in it! The veggie omelette was also full of the freshest veggies and cheese served with hash browns and toast. Great Bloody Mary!

Complimentary fruit bowl
Susan D.

We were in a hurry so we dined at the counter. This is no Gordon Ramsay establishment. The chefs were enjoying themselves as they cooked. Our server Qian and the expediter William were delightful. It was nice to see the respect all of the staff had for each other The dinners come with a choice of soup or salad and dinner rolls. I chose the clam chowder. It was hot and delicious with lots of clams. I was stuffed after eating the bowl of chowder. Hubby enjoyed his salad and said the ranch dressing was creamy and flavorful My entree was the vegetable penne pasta with a chicken breast. I ordered it with out mushrooms. After seeing that it had mushrooms, Qian sent it back and gave me a complimentary bowl of fruit. The pasta was really good and enough to feed several people. My husband had his usual prime rib. He said it was slightly overcooked cooked but still tasty.

Joan L.

Service was great, the food was a miss. I did enjoy the salmon, the country fried steak was gross (mainly the gravy), the veggies were great and fresh, the clam chowder was good, we also had the tomato soup and tasted like the can. The fish and chips, salad were ok, but the one thing I had that was fantastic and didn't take a picture of was the Chicken Chow-mein- will have to come back and try it again just to make sure it wasn't a one off but it was delicious! Locals get a 20% off, so I would go for lunch and that's about it.

Cobb salad with blue cheese dressing
Kellie C.

What a solid 24-hour option in Reno! The Peppermill Hotel & Casino continues to deliver, including this OG cafe that has a refreshed interior and the upscale diner food you may have enjoyed at their sister restaurant in Las Vegas. We ordered the Cobb salad (5/5) and the prime rib dinner with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, and salad (4/5). Prime rib was very flavorful but a tad overcooked for medium rare. A very thick slice and just the right amount of fat. Served with au jus and creamy horseradish. Yum. The tables were clean and the service was friendly and attentive. Stop by the Fireside Lounge next door for a dessert drink! Same cocktail menu in both the Cafe and the Lounge. Will return.

We stayed at the Peppermill Resort , on our second day we wanted to try this restaurant so we came down. It was 10 of us. The sever was quick. She took drink order and went ahead and took food order for those who were at the table already. My sister and I arrived minutes later but she made sure all the food came out at the same time. There was always coffee refills and we got all we needed to enjoy our meals. Food was great. Portions are huge, I took 1/2 of my food to go. Service was great, my server I wish what was her name but she was great too. Next time we come back to Reno we will be back to this place. The place was quiet , a bit busy and pretty clean. Unfortunately I Didn't take pictures of everything since my phone died. We will be back!

Blueberry muffin
Jill C.

A great spot for lots of tasty dishes - not quite as fancy as Biscottis but still darn tasty. We've been coming here for many, many years - since it was called the coffee shop and you could still play Keno while you dined. Lots has changed but the quality is still usually quite high. A few times the omelettes and burgers have been cooked a bit long, but service is consistently friendly and offerings extensive. The muffins are always a highlight for the fam though biscottis seems to have more variety on offer than cafe Milano. Don't sleep on the pumpkin cream cheese muffin when it's available - it's to die for. Prices are a little steep but the generous portions make it worth it - and 20% off for locals (with a players card) helps out too.

Jenna B.

We ordered take out because it was one of the easier late night options. The food was decent but a bit pricey for what you get. The service was quick but a bit unclear of where to order.

Wow. If you find yourself in Reno, jonesing for a burger, Archie's is the place to go. We aren't…read moreresidents, but come up the hill a few times a year for various events. Until this 4th of July weekend (250/2026) we had never heard of Archie's. It was recommended to us and we stopped in on Sunday the 5th for lunch on our way out of town. What an amazing choice. I ordered their bacon cheese burger. Guess what? It was GIANT. It was delicious. It was perfect. Comes with fries but I got onion rings. The onion rings were perfect too. Largest order of rings I have ever seen. The burger (1/2 Lb I think!!) had nice thick bacon in every bite, two large and fresh slices of tomato, a big old slab of an onion slice, mayo and lettuce. I can't remember if there were pickles. It was the best burger and onion rings I have eaten in at least ten years, maybe 20. We will be back, EVERY time we are in town from now on. I can't recommend this place enough. Special shout out to David, our server. This guy made no mistakes. Laughed at all my stupid dad jokes, was attentive, patient while my companions changed their minds 36 times, and was friendly too. Says it was only his 2nd day on the job, but I wish he had been working for us at our restaurant (Hokkaido Noodle House) in Sacramento. He is a pro already, give him reasons to keep working for you boss. Don't worry, we won't steal him from you, we are retired and closed our joint 10 years ago. Rock on Archie's! You have earned a few new fans today.

I went here on Sunday mid afternoon before Memorial Day so I assume many students had left town so…read morethe place was pretty empty (so service was excellent.) Was surprised it had a second floor with a small deck and pretty decent views! Big place. Great Happy Hour Deals (half off drinks) and other specials. I haven't eaten breakfast there but the burger I'd put in the top 4 in Reno. It is giant diameter wise but the meat is the same amount of a smaller thicker burger which makes it no too hard to eat. I'd call this a Purist's Burger. Crisp lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mustard, sauce. They went really light on the sauce to the point I didn't think it had any. Fries were excellent too. Price is very reasonable (that's typical near a college.) I've tried Royce, Juicy's, and The Parlor. I'd put Archies below Royce and Parlor but above Juicy's. Two left on my list are Armando & Son's Butcher Shop and of course Beefy's.

Was taking my son out to lunch and had been wanting to come here for some time. It's not that far…read morefrom home. Was greeted right away and told we could grab a seat either inside or out. Fortunately I had looked at the menu on line so had narrowed down my choices, because so many things looked good. He settled on the Scotch egg and a Tavern Burger. I went with a order of Beer battered onion rings and the Tavern burger also I ate almost all of my onion rings, because they were so good, that I could only finish half of my burger. (Did finish it later, enjoyed it then too) I'm looking forward to coming back soon, the Cobb salad is already calling me. They have a great outdoor seating area and the indoor area has a pool table and a shuffleboard.

Had a great experience at Bighorn Tavern on 7th Street! The atmosphere is welcoming, the food is…read moregreat, and the hospitality really makes this place stand out. A special shoutout to Erica, our server, who was absolutely wonderful! She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made our experience that much better. It's always refreshing to receive service from someone who clearly cares about their guests. As a local business that helps showcase the best of Reno, BeLocal Reno loves recognizing places and people who make our community special. Bighorn Tavern is definitely one of them! We'll absolutely be back. Thanks again, Erica, for taking such great care of us!
