    Yummm - chocolate lava cake
    R. C.

    It's a nice restaurant, went on a Wednesday at 6pm, they seated us near the window (not against the window), so still a nice view, until the sun came shining on my face! Needed to scoot myself over to avoid it! Food was generally OK. I had the 10oz prime rib, medium rare. It looked like it was cooked just right, just expected it to be a little more tender. Hubby had blackened salmon and loaded potato, he thought both were just OK. What was really delicious was the side order of Asian green beans! And, finally, we also enjoyed the chocolate lava cake. Our server, Tess, was great. We had $90 of gift cards from a timeshare presentation to use, just needed to kick in a little mor

    Driven past this place multiple times but finally got the chance to eat here for a business meeting. They had a set menu we could choose from. Started with Cesar salad. I got prime rib with mashed potatoes and my friend for the Baja salmon with shrimp and rice. Everything was flavorful and cooked perfectly. Got creme brulee and cheesecake for dessert. It said it was supposed to be served with raspberries but they ran out so they gave us a side of blackberries instead. Service was great! Would eat here again

    We come for their happy hour every time we come to south lake tahoe. Food is great and reasonably priced. Happy hour is 4-6 but you can't make a rez and is only offered in a limited space. If you want the tables with a view during sunset you have to get there before 4!

    We've been going to this location for many years and I have to say that they were either having an off day or their quality has taken a deep dive. Our food lacked luster. The prime rib was warmed over (definitely wouldn't expect that from this location). My husbands pasta sauce was flavorless as was the salad dressing. Our server wasn't attentive so we never ordered our second drink. Barely came to check on us, the service was slow and we had to box our own leftovers. We never saw a manager that night. Not sure if the views are worth the food anymore.

    Parking can get tough on busy nights. We grabbed a spot in the lower lot. Happily we had a reservation. Wait staff was efficient and friendly. We had the halibut which received rave reviews. Two in our party had the filet mignon. I sampled a taste and the meat was perfectly cooked. I had the lamb chops which were ample and delicious. Was hoping for a lake view as requested. Unfortunately with the rush of patrons we ended up in a tucked away alcove. Delicious happy hour is served only in the bar area. We've done this on previous visits and they have lots of tasty bites.

    Visited at 7:45 on a Tuesday without a reservation. Stood at the hostess stand for 5 minutes or so with no acknowledgment. Started wandering around looking for an employee or to sit in the bar. Bar was untended. Got a server to seat us. Super nice server, food was good. Spinach salad was delicious as was the clam chowder. I had the coconut shrimp hubby had the miso black cod. The mojito sampler was terrible. Too much syrup, no crushed ice, no soda water, mint or garnish. The Basil Yuzo and Chocolate Soufflé drinks were yummy.

    Mudslide cake

    I was a bit concerned with some of the reviews, but after our dining experience, Id definitely return and recommend to friends and family. Our server Megan was the sweetest, kindest most attentive staff member and really helped make our evening special. The front of house staff a young woman with dark hair was very welcoming and the view of the lake was phenomenal. My boyfriend got the prime rib with garlic mashed potatoes and I got the chicken sous vide with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus, we also opted to start off with coconut shrimp and lobster bisque. We finished with the lava cake and they gave him a complimentary mudslide ice cream cake for his birthday, we shared our desserts and they were both incredible. Overall a lovely dining experience with top notch atmosphere, service and food. We will most definitely be back.

    I came here with a group of 6 for dinner on vacation. We made an 8pm reservation on a Saturday night and there was absolutely no wait time to get seated. Our table was very crammed and not sturdy as the extension pieces on the top were loose. The ambiance is cute, dress up or down and I'm sure it's a lovely view when it's still light out. The food itself was amazing, though is was cold when it came out. Our waitress Megan was so kind to switch my dish out to a fresh one, which I appreciated. I'd definitely come back for a regular dinner next time I'm in Tahoe.

    Complementary bread (this was served fresh and warm that adding butter was perfect!)

    Don't get me wrong for giving it a 3, but I think customer service is poor given that it is a fine restaurant with a great view of the lake and potentially the sunset if you get lucky to be seated in front, or by the glass window. We didn't have any uncomfortable experience. However, people at the front desk are quite snobbish. From my perspective, as a customer, I would always want to feel welcomed. Our server, Ms. Lani is a nice lady but I cannot say the same thing for the rest. I understand that it is busy but I don't think that should be a reasonable excuse since this is a food business. Additionally, the food isn't that great either. My fillet mignon steak (medium rare) was dry. The drinks tasted bland and sugary to the point that you could not taste even an inch of the alcohol. Bathroom is clean and the restaurant's atmosphere is intimate. Complimentary bread*

    View of the lake approaching sunset

    A nice upscale option. I'm assuming people come primarily for the view. Our concierge got us a 6:15 reservation so that we would have a prime sunset view. The hostess really did not want to give us a window table despite several being available, so we sat in a booth on the second level. (Still had a nice view, but...) The meal was excellent and service was fast. Gabriel, our server took good care of us. Other than having to choose not to argue with the hostess, my biggest complaint was the bread; it was less than underwhelming. No reason they can't do better.

    Came here on a recent trip to Tahoe for a nice dinner with a large group. It is considered to be more of an upscale restaurant in the area and the interior is quite nice. However, I thought the food was just so-so, nothing really stood out to me about the flavors in the dishes. They were decent, but not good enough to justify the price point to be honest. More thought could be put into the composition and flavors of the dishes.

    great options made well, but they did forget stuff on my order like the carrots on my lamb chops, the chart your own course is a good deal, service was nice and got a birthday mud pie would've been a nice view for sunset but we got there late, highly recommend booth seating!

    came for my moms bday and everything was so nice and personalized! from the happy birthday on her menu to the birthday card, also having the celebration dessert be her favorite was such a nice treat! Our waitress was everything and more and had the best recommendations and the food was divine recommend making a reservation but other than that, great location and vibes

Not only was the food excellent, but the service is what put them over the top. This restaurant was minutes away from our hotel so location wise, Bruschetta is in prime location if you are staying in or around South Lake Tahoe. Parking was relatively easy And our meal while having a few honest mistakes was remedied by our waiter Sean which made the meal truly 5 stars. There were a few mishaps with our order but we enjoyed what came out regardless, and the fact Sean did his best to remedy the situation despite the kitchen being closed at that point caused me to rank Bruschetta a bonafide 5 star Italian restaurant. Ambiance is very classy and feels authentic to what an Italian restaurant should be. Here's what we ordered: Roasted Cherry and Plum Bruschetta, Fried Calamari, Brussel Sprouts, Shrimp Caldo, 20 Layer Lasagna, Spaghetti and meatballs, and spicy Linguini and clams. To drink: an old fashioned, Peach cocktail, blueberry cocktail, and glass of red wine. Somehow, maybe due to it being later in the evening, they forgot to bring us our Shrimp Caldo, Brussel Sprouts, and red wine. We may have been the last customers, but we realized our entire order was not brought out so we mentioned it to our waiter to which he sincerely apologized and made right the best he could. Instead of getting defensive or making excuses, our waiter Sean took action and quickly resolved any issues which speaks volumes not only for him as a person but for the restaurant as a whole. We ended up ordering dessert after: tiramisu And vanilla gelato. Both were excellent and tipped generously. Bruschetta is a solid 5 star Italian restaurant in Lake Tahoe And I give a hearty thanks to the ownership, chefs, and especially Sean for serving us a wonderful Italian feast!

Definitely the bruschetta and lasagna stole the show. Ended the meal with their tiramisu cake because you always have room for a sweet treat! Overall I give this restaurant a solid 4/5 star review. I'm glad I tried it and will definitely be coming back!

After looking around, I decided to try Scusa. We've driven by it so many times, I figured why not? We made a rezzie, but I don't know if one is really needed. It's a pretty good sized resto. We were seated at a booth by the window. I enjoyed the creamy ravioli. Good amount of lobster flavor. The salad I adored cuz of the anchovies. I loved the creamy, salty, briny dressing with the crisp lettuce. The escargots were tasty. Tho I prefer to soak up the delicious butter with a crusty french bread vs the focaccia like one we got here. But it's an italian spot, so understandable. My seafood pasta, I enjoyed the flavors, but it was sandy. Not overly so, but enough to affect the texture of the sauce a bit. Maybe I should have complained, but I didn't. The hubs seemed to enjoy his calamari steak. Seemed very standard with a citrus caper sauce. Service was good. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. The decor is kinda mixed. There is a section that has that white table cloth vibe. Well, they actually have white tablecloths. And then a row of booths along the window without tablecloths. I prefered where we were sitting since it was roomier, but it seemed almost like two different spaces. An enjoyable italian meal. Tho I'd watch out for anything with shellfish. Your dish could be a little sandy. REVIEW #4030

    Food was just okay overall. We ordered takeout and tried the garlic bread, shrimp scampi, chicken…read morelinguine, and spaghetti with meatballs. The garlic bread was the highlight--fresh and flavorful. The shrimp scampi had a nice taste but was overwhelmed by an excessive amount of sauce. The spaghetti and meatballs came with a very generous portion of meat, and the sauce itself was rich and flavorful, though a bit heavy on the basil and fennel. Unfortunately, the pasta--like the other dishes--was overcooked. The chicken linguine was the most disappointing--bland, overly heavy on sherry, and paired with a dry, overcooked chicken breast.
