A charming space that's conveniently located for me that I wanted to like. Service was good but slightly inattentive for the price point. Sadly the food was inconsistent and definitely disappointing for the price. As a side note, in multiple visits I've found the majority of their plates and serving dishes to be chipped, cracked, or have glaze that's missing in spots. So much so that I have to wonder if it's an intentional design choice. I always thought plates like that were considered unsanitary, but maybe standards have changed since I took food safety training. read more

Small restaurant with just a limited number of tables. Oh - and they don't take reservations. So - we had dinner for four and we sat at the bar (did that rhyme) and it wasn't ideal, the two people at the ends weren't really involved in the discussion - but fine. We enjoyed .. seriously the olives? SO GOOD! And the meatballs? YUM! Three pasta dishes, one steak dish, cocktails, wine, and delightful service. I would come here again and again - but probably not on a Saturday night. Food - FANTASTIC! Drinks - FANTASTIC! Service - DELIGHTFUL! read more

Came here on a Friday night around 7 pm to celebrate a friend's birthday with a girls' dinner, and it ended up being such a perfect choice. Even though they do not take reservations, we were seated pretty quickly, which was a pleasant surprise for a busy Friday evening. The restaurant itself is adorable and feels like a charming little house that has been transformed into an intimate Italian spot. There is an open kitchen, which adds to the experience, and the space strikes a really nice balance between elevated and genuinely warm. It feels like true dining in the heart of Reno, thoughtful and cozy without feeling pretentious. We ordered a variety of dishes to share and honestly loved everything. The pickled seasonal vegetables were bright and refreshing and a great way to start the meal. The meatballs were tender and comforting, the suppli were crispy and rich, and the fried seafood was light and well executed without being greasy. We also shared the bruschetta, which was simple, fresh, and nicely balanced. For mains, we had the gnocchi al pesto and the rigatoni with beef ragu. The gnocchi was soft and pillowy with a vibrant, fresh pesto, and the beef ragu was deeply flavorful and hearty without being heavy. Both dishes felt well thought out and satisfying. We ended the night with the crème brûlée, which was the perfect birthday dessert. The custard was creamy with a beautifully caramelized top and just the right amount of sweetness. What really stood out was how the meal encouraged you to slow down and enjoy the moment. This is the kind of place where you take your time, engage in conversation, and savor each course. There is also a really cute outdoor area, and I can already tell it will be an amazing spot in the summer. Overall, this was a wonderful place to celebrate a birthday. Great food, a warm and inviting atmosphere, and an experience that felt special from start to finish. I cannot wait to come back. read more

I would probably give a 3.5 but I'll round up because I don't think a 3 is justified. This was my first time here, as well as the rest of our group. We wanted to try a new restaurant to celebrate our yelp elite badges for the year, as we are all elites. Our group was 5. The parking was hard which is not a fault of the restaurant, however does dictate my opinion if I would likely be back. Unfortunately with so many great dining options in town, it does make it hard to want to go somewhere if it takes 15 minutes just to find a parking spot. There was some paid parking nearby though! The restaurant was so cute. 5/5 for vibes. Gorgeous! I was the last to arrive and all of my table already had their drinks but it took forever for the waitress to come back and get my drink order. which was a testament to our service the rest of the night - very slow. At first the restaurant was pretty full so it was more understandable but by the end of the night we were close to the only table left but our service did not improve. I ordered the pesto gnocchi which although was delicious, was such a small portion. Everyone else at my table had a much bigger portion for their meal. I left still feeling hungry and almost stopped at a drive through on my way home. We also had bread and butter and fried dough as apps. The butter was so delicious, definitely stood out for our dinner. However the bread was very boring and didn't come with much. Just seemed like normal white bread. For the equality of the bread, I was surprised that the bread wasn't free with dinner. I would expect more for bread you have to purchase. We ordered cannolis for dessert but did not get a free one for the birthday girl which I was surprised because they did ask if we were celebrating anything. Overall it was good food but service could be improved and portion sizes could be adjusted. read more

One of the best Italian restaurants in Reno! Always walked by it and have always wanted to go, and we finally did! It was so good! I order the Kabocha Squash Ravioli, the Supplì, Caesar Salad and Cannoli's! Wow! The Kobocha was out of this world! So flavorful and wanted more after I ate it! Pairing it with the wine was perfect too. I love the feel of the restaurant. It made our date cozy and romantic, which was what I was hoping for. The service was excellent. The waitress was on it and very helpful when I had questions about the menu. It was great to hear it was all homemade pasta. Love that. I highly recommend this place. read more

What we ordered: - 3 Supplí: The fried exterior is crispy and interior is very cheesy. It is good, but I have never had something like this before so I can't compa - SPAGHETTI squid ink, shrimp, scallops, lemon zest: The shrimp was seasoned perfectly, and honestly one of the best tasting shrimp I have ever had. I love the texture of the spaghetti as well. If was my first time trying squid ink, and I like the combination of salty with everything else on the plate. Definitely will get this again! - PAPPARDELLE MUSHROOM RAGÙ: Pasta was perfectly al dente, and the mushrooms are bouncy. - Tiramisu Cheesecake: Love the creaminess of the cake and flavors of tiramisu. Parking was a struggle especially being on a Friday evening and being in midtown. When we walked in, it was very cosy and soon someone sat us at a table. There is bar seating as well, but I did not see the back and there is not a lot of seating in the front. The lighting is very nice especially with the mini lamps at each table. It was a rainy and cold day, so it was very cold inside the restaurant because the doors are open. I saw people wearing their puffer jackets! If there was a way to keep the cold out during the cooler days would be nice. It gets very loud too since it is a small space. Our appetizer came out fairly quickly and it took longer for the main dishes. Service was good. I would love to come back and try the other items on the menu! read more

Great design and atmosphere with excellent service and flavorful, well seasoned, food. The lemoncello martini was sweet and well mixed, the bread and butter was excellent, the meatballs were savory and delicious, the pesto gnocchi was perfectly cooked and the pesto was sharp, and lastly the cherry bourbon ice cream was divine and the best dessert to conclude an amazing dinner. Will definitely be back again! read more

This has been on my list to try for quite some time so we had a girls dinner here! The ambiance is cute and cozy with modern decor. The staff was nice but we were not checked for very long periods of time. I enjoyed my limoncello martini which was basically a lemon drop. We ordered some bread and butter which was so tiny but I will say their sage butter was amazing. I ordered the squid ink spaghetti and I honestly wasn't impressed. The noodles were not cooked all the way so they were kind of hard. For the price, I can't say 3 pieces of shrimp and 2 pieces of small scallops was worth it. The flavor was nice and light though. The cannoli order was so tiny and also not worth the price. They were okay. For a cutesy atmosphere dinner, it's a good spot but I can't justify the price for what you get unfortunately. I left still hungry. read more

We had a girls night here because none of us had ever been! Street parking can be hard to find, especially in the evenings when nearby businesses are busy with the dinner crowd. The place is quite small but we still got a table around 7pm without a wait. Our group had 5 but they don't reservations for groups under 8. Cocktails are actually cheaper than a glass of wine here which I found surprising. They were out of mint for a Hugo Spritz so I got an Aperol Spritz instead which was nice! However, it took longer than expected to get our drinks. We ordered a few apps, the bread + butter and the fried dough with truffle Parmesan. The butter stole the show--you can clearly taste the fresh sage! I got the squid ink spaghetti for my meal. Portion size was large but there were only about 3 shrimp (tail still on) and 2 scallops which didn't seem like much seafood to me. The pasta was a little more firm than I would have liked but the flavors were good. I felt like the lemon zest was more noticeable than the seafood flavor itself. They make the pasta fresh in-house each day and you can tell it is well-made. I'm glad I got this entree because some of the others were on the smaller side. My friend was celebrating a birthday and we got some small cannoli to celebrate; I was surprised they didn't give the birthday girl hers for free but they did sing to her which was nice. The chef came out to check in with us towards the end, something we really appreciated it since I'm sure he was quite busy. The service from our waitress could've been better, it felt like we were waiting around for a while at certain times--most noticeably for drinks at the start and the check at the end. We weren't in any hurry since it was girls night but we did spend over two hours here which easily could've been closer to an hour and a half if service was faster. There were a few things that could have been improved but I still enjoyed my first time dining here! read more

Really enjoyed my dinner at this long-time Midtown gem! I've walked by it countless times, and finally got to try it out. They do not accept reservations unless your party is 8 or more, so I do suggest getting there early. Our party of two arrived a little before 6 on a Friday, and while there weren't any tables available, we were about to grab the two open seats at the bar. The bartender told us it was only her second day, but she killed it! All the staff members that I observed and encountered were excellent. The food was AMAZING. You can tell the pasta is made in house, and I appreciate the rotating menu. It feels like you're in someone's home, it's quite cozy. An extra Christmas bonus - carolers came and sang just outside the door during our meal! I've already recommended this place to friends and family. read more

This restaurant looks like it used to be a cute little house that's now home to delicious Italian food. They have specials that change daily, which is what I ordered from. The salmon was delicious and the crispy potatoes really stole the show. We had a friendly server who was happy to accommodate the 4 vegetarians I dined with (they had multiple options). Only downside is the parking is a bit sparse but there is a small pay to park lot right next to the building that we were able to get into. read more

Calafuria - Crispy Skin Salmon - Italian Near Me - Reno, Nevada

With a cute and cozy environment, this is a great spot for a decadent weeknight dinner of delicious pasta and comfort food! I went with a 5 person group on a Wednesday and didn't have to make reservations. If you're going with a larger group, I suggest you call ahead because the space is small and intimate. They set up a beautiful table for the group and were able to seat us right away. The menu is simple but effective and this makes it easy to choose. Don't skip the bread and sage butter. It is so delicious and I want to put that butter on everything! For my main, I ordered the chicken based off our waitresses recommendation and I was very pleased! The chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy and flavorful. The side of truffle Mac & cheese that comes with is the perfect size and was absolutely delicious. The chef came out to check on us and clear our table at one point and it was lovely. He informed us they make their pastas daily and you can tell! I would like to return in the summer to sit on their patio. read more

What a phenomenal night. To begin we were seated in a cozy corner at a wonderful table with fresh flowers. The sound was so rich and delightful with exceptional music. My husband got an IPA and I got their frosted pear drink followed by the Italian Margareta. Both were delicious. I should preface by saying, I've been a vegan for ten years and tonight was the night I quit being vegan. To start we got both the fried bread and the bread + salted butter. Both arrived warm and delish. The fried bread had truffle oil and my husband was hoping for a sauce which he later got with our other appetizer. The fresh bread and salted herb butter was absolutely stunning. For starters we got the special friend mushrooms in a dill sauce which.....stop the press was hands down one of the best appetizers we've ever had. We also ordered the 3 Suppli which came out super warm, and when I cut into it, I was tickled pink by the burst of warm fresh cheese that oozed out. It came with a reach yummy creamy tomato sauce for dunking. Yes please. For dinner my husband did the fried cod special with olives on the side. It came with a slightly spicy marinara type sauce over the top. It was crispy and crunchy, and just what he wanted. I ordered the Pappardelle with Mushroom Ragu, which.....shut it down, was the most rich, creamy, delicious, fresh, holy shit batman pasta experience I've ever had. Those wide noodles just coated in that ooooey gooey sauce, and the thick chunks of mushroom, oh my word, I mean....Yes. Just yes. This was a long drawn out meal, designed to make you engage with your partner, take your time, slow down, and smile. Our waitress Harper was phenomenal. She had such a great personality, excellent suggestions, and she thrived off of our good time. I will absolutely return here for another spectacular meal. Yummmmm!!!! read more

The food is excellent and the wine selection is great. Perhaps the indoor seating is more comfortable, been a couple times and sat outdoors on warm summer evenings. It'd make the experience, and the $$, more enjoyable if it didn't hurt to relax after a delectable meal. read more

As a new family in Reno I was looking for a cute, fun, classy, and romantic place to spend my 30th birthday dinner with my family. My wife saw tik toks and I saw the reviews looked good. For starters, Wins: the vibe and atmosphere are very cool + cute. The culture and style is young professionals and hipster. Presentation and price are decent. Staff was friendly as well. Work one: the food was sadly not good. Very average at best. Tried 2 drinks ($12 NA version of a mojito which was pleasant but expensive for no alcohol in it to me) Appetizer (meatballs, they were very salty and dry and came out too fast after ordering...I don't think they're made to order) Meals: (wife had the pesto tagliatelle. Lacked in flavor definitely and no protein with it. She swapped it out for the meat Ragu sauce which was better but nothing special) (I had the spaghetti with seafood with lemon/citrus flavor..the big attraction was squid ink sauce...very underwhelming dish. Sorry, but the scallops were undercooked, the shrimp WAY overcooked, and the flavor was seriously lacking) Services: The waitress was sweet, and we tipped 20% but felt it wasn't worth ordering a birthday dessert since we didn't like any of the food and the flavors. They didn't bother during the meal, but they also didn't do anything special or memorable with it being my 30th birthday. Usually a strawberry on a plate with chocolate or whipped cream can make an impact and cost next to nothing. For a $90 tab I was disappointed, and they added a credit card fee to the ticket before knowing if we would pay card or cash...didn't like that. Overall 5.5/10 Nice place to be trendy and take pics and maybe go there for 1 drink in the future, but would not honestly recommend it for food. read more

I have been dying to go to this place. I finally on a last minute date decided to try it out. It reminds me of someone's house turned into a restaurant. Very cozy and intimate. We didn't have a reservation but their website said they take walk ins. We ended up waiting about 45 minutes (we came in on a Friday night around 730pm). However, we were able to wait and have a drink in their speakeasy in the back. You walk outside to what feels like a mother in law quarters. Limited seating but it was a great idea! Dinner was phenomenal. They have a pretty large menu as well as wine list, cocktail/mocktails, and some beers. The fried bread had good flavor but a little dry. The house made spaghetti was my favorite. But the rib eye was also cooked to perfection. I can't wait to go back and try other dishes. read more

I can't remember the last time I went into a restaurant that has the kind of ambiance I found at Calafuria. It's an old house, so it has that vintage feel, with plants everywhere, the fire place blazing, dim lighting and just the perfect place for a cozy dinner on a Saturday night. Unfortunately, the service kind of ruined the experience. It all started good, the wait we were told would be about 30 minutes and with a Speakeasy outside in the back where we could wait, we were golden. We ordered drinks and were having such a good time that I didn't realize it was over an hour and we hadn't been called up for our dinner. It wasn't until the people next to us (that got there way after we did) got called that I realized how long we had been waiting. When I inquired, I was told we were next and were asked if we were OK with the bar top. Really? After waiting for over an hour. By this time I was starving, so we said yes. So the same girl that greeted us at the door, was our server, was making drinks, and just running around everywhere, so I wondered is it just a staff shortage? I guess I'll never know. The food itself came out fast. We had the Gnocchi Al Pesto and the Artichoke and Cheese Ravioli in a Sage Butter Sauce, Topped with Fried Sage. Both were tasty. We also had the Italian Delight Mocktail at the Speakeasy. This place is pricey, and at least for me when the price goes up, the expectation of the service you recieve goes up as well. The food was good enough to return, but the service I recieved tonight would make me think of going to another place first before returning here. I really think this place could benefit from having a better system for seating patrons and feel confident that an apology or explanation when you fall short on a service would go a long way with most people. read more

This is true dining in the heart of Reno - with the perfect mix of pretense and genuine warmth. Open kitchen concept, with authentic (no like seriously authentic) Italian cuisine, and a wine list that would make most somms and oenophiles drool, not to mention appropriate value. Ambience, lighting and attention to detail is unparalleled, and the sense of anticipatory service leaves no work on the guest experience. My date and I both enjoyed the ravioli, which to my understanding changes daily, ours having this delightful Calabrian influence. Perfect with a little Collio Friulano. It's not surprising that I read on their website the chef trained with a gelato master - for one who normally drinks my desert than eats it, please order the gelato. In fact, I must go back soon and try everything on the menu. If I could give 6 stars I would. p.s. The original history of Michelin awards were created in the early 1900s to encourage long distance road travel, to incentive tire sales by recommending motorists dining destinations worth the extra trip - for someone who currently lives over an hour away I would gladly go the extra trip every time for Calafuria. read more

When we came in there was a hour + wait due to not having full staff. Which was fine, but their wait system is very old school. Wouldn't text or call us when a table was ready so we decided to walk around the corner for a drink and hope we'd be back at the right time. Inside is very cute and romantic. It was too cold for us to eat outside. The food was very tasty, but we felt it was a little overpriced for the portion size, everything being al a carte, and the sub par service. I understand they were running short on wait staff, but we felt we were just ignored and not really checked on or had to wave someone down for water refills. Overall, id come back to for the food since it was very good. But i think they could better their services a bit, as that was the biggest turn off for us. read more

I was so impressed with the prices. We had a great time here, and we will be back asap! read more

The ambiance is EXACTLY what I needed after attending the annual (and very loud) Cushing Crossing- Calafuria is peaceful and quiet. Think date night/catching up with old friends vibes, not bachelor party vibes. My bestie got married here actually! The service was awesome and every single thing the server suggested was amazing but that could just be because everything was delicious. I went with a couple of my girlfriends and we got a bit of everything. I don't drink alcohol so I can't personally speak to that, but my friends loved their cocktails and to my delight they have mocktails!!!!!!!!!!!! Woohooooo!!!! I had the passion and pine and it was *actually* worth the $12 to me (: It's not a cheap date spot, but you get what you pay for. The ribeye melts in your mouth, smashed potatoes are incredible, chicken was yummy, and the Mac n cheese is better than my auntie's. I'm VERY picky about desserts and they didn't miss the mark there either. Wish I could remember the name but it was on a temporary menu :/ Come with your eating pants on lol!!!! read more

We went on a Friday night. We had to wait over an hour and a half to be seated for a party of three. It was bad enough that the staff gave us free champagne for the wait. When we were finally seated, I inquired if the ribeye came with any vegetables and the waitress said yes. However, when the food came, she realized she told me wrong and comped a side of grilled vegetables. I ordered the ribeye and fried bread. The fried bread was bland and not filling. The ribeye was cooked to perfection and the fries were delicious. All together, we had a "meh" experience. read more

Tired of coming here and getting hit or miss service. Came here and they sit us down and not even offer us water or gave us menus for 10 minutes so we just walked out and nobody even noticed.

I can't believe it took my 5 years of living in Reno to finally come here! I had heard amazing things, but then with the pandemic and their focus on events, I had never had a chance to go in. Then, just the other week, I heard they were back serving weekend dinners! My husband and I popped in (no reservation needed). We were seated by the cozy fireplace very quickly. It's an intimate setting where you can see the chef and staff hard at work. The menu is small and selective--pasta of the day, ravioli of the day, steak and a selection of tasty appetizers. They also have an extensive wine list and cocktails to enjoy. The small menu may scare some, but the freshness and flavor of the dishes leads me to believe you'll never be disappointed. There is care cooked into every bite. Definitely worth a visit! read more

How have I never been here before? I almost want to keep this little gem a secret but I can't be selfish. If you want intimate and a handmade experienced, this is it. Came here with a group of 8 (*reservation encouraged for large parties*) and it felt like a true Italian experience. This place is only open three hours a day and I suggest savouring your time like the Italians do and enjoy a glass, or two, of wine with your loved ones. If wine isn't your thing, they make some pretty good cocktails, too! They have fried bread. Yeah, you read that correctly. FRIED BREAD. Ordered 2, stopped from ordering the third. They were out of the focaccia, just means I have to come back! Darn. It is a special place to share alone, as a couple or with family and friends. Order food for sharing and if it sounds good, get it!! Because it will be! Oh, and get the fried bread. Salute. read more

This place is amazing! My husband and I came for our anniversary and the food was wonderful. Italian vibes. I love that's it's a cute midtown house. We had our baby with us and the servers were so sweet. They also have a hidden bar in the back that we love. One day, we were there, and the owner/chef was the one helping out. He was incredibly kind and seemed really interesting to talk to and hear his story. I wish they were open more days of the week but that's okay. read more

I think we must have gone to calafuria on an off night because they were somehow out of tagliatelle which is the main ingredient in two of the dishes on the menu! And since the menu is already so limited from the outset, it made our ordering very stunted. Also, how does an Italian place run out of pasta? It's just egg and flour make some more! It's one of your main ingredients! From what we did order, the mushroom ravioli was so stunning, fresh, melt in your mouth flavors. I liked the edition of the crispy sage leaf which is a flavor that works so well with brown butter anything I really enjoyed the arancini ball appetizer and fried appetizer with clams, calamari, oysters- loved the diversity of options. The beet salad on special was a bit of a joke, tiny cubes beets with the smallest quantity of whipped cheese and at least that was only like $6 because it was wimpy. The rigatoni with beef ragu had great flavor but the sauce was very thin and soupy, after the first layer of pasta it just looked like soup unfortunately with the thin sauce pooling in the bowl. I really wish we had had an opportunity to try the tagliatelle dishes. The ambiance of calafuria is so cute and homey and classic that you feel like you could be in Italy. Wish the food was more substantial though. read more

Considering this has been one of our favorite places for date night, it saddens me that I have to write a review about the horribly poor service we experienced on a Saturday night. Walked in at 6pm and the restaurant was full, one of the gals let us know that she'll put our name on a list and give us a call in about 30-45 minutes when a table opens up. No problem at all, we went around the corner and had a beverage while waiting. Unfortunately, after an hour we still had yet to receive a call so we walked back to check in. 3 tables that we were in line for had new people seated at them (which means they forgot to call us and we got skipped to people who had just walked in). We again, had to wait for a table. Once we got seated, it was 15 minutes before our server even acknowledged us. 20 minutes in we placed our drink order, appetizer, and meal due to ensure we'd at least get something in a timely manner. Our drinks and seafood appetizer came out, and then we waited ONE HOUR for two entrees to arrive. Neither of the servers acknowledged us the entire time we were waiting or offered to refill our obviously empty drink glasses or water. Complete disappointment. We ordered the fried seafood as an appetizer, which the only thing that wasn't over cooked was the shrimp and it was delicious. Our entrees were bacon wrapped filet which my partner highly enjoyed, and rigatoni with marinara. Decided to give two stars because most of the food was delicious, the service was just significantly poor. We will give the place one more shot on another night considering we always recommend friends and family and buy gift cards for the holidays. read more

Service: dined in on a Thursday night. Not too busy (I don't think people know they have opened up the restaurant to walk ins thurs -Saturdays !!). Waitress was very attentive . We met one of the owners and he showed us the back patio area that they worked so hard on during Covid! ITS SO BEAUTIFUL. Perfect little cute spot to have dinner parties or receptions! Food: the menu was small (which I like-- it means their dedicated to quality over quantity). The pasta for the night was rigatoni- we chose a sausage tomato sauce. It was delicious. We also got a little seafood sampler and broccolini side dish. What I loved most was the salad- we chose the Caesar dressing and it was perfect. I'm a Caesar salad snob. The lettuce was nice and crisp. Not overly dressed. The dressing was packed with flavors and homemade. Right amount of crutons and cheese. MHHM!! Such a pretty and romantic place. We will be back forsure! read more
