    The bread basket
    Diane P.

    Friday night called for a special dinner, so I made a reservation for two at 5:30 at Dolce Caffè. We were seated by the front window, which is my favorite spot. I love watching the people and cars go by in Midtown while enjoying a great meal. We started with drinks. I ordered the Limoncello Spritz, and wow--it was absolutely out of this world! My husband ordered the Chardonnay, and owner Claudio explained that it's made in the traditional Italian style. Instead of being buttery like many California Chardonnays, it's slightly sweeter and very smooth. After trying my cocktail, my husband decided to order a Limoncello Spritz too, and he ended up enjoying it even more than the wine. We skipped the appetizers and salads and went straight to the main event. I ordered the mushroom ravioli, which I had been dreaming about all day. It was light, delicate, and packed with incredible flavor. My husband, who is from New Zealand, chose the lamb chops. They were cooked to perfection, so tender you could cut them with a butter knife. He paired them with the asparagus risotto, which was delicious but a little heavy alongside the lamb. We ended up taking some home, and next time I'd recommend pairing the lamb with a salad instead. To finish, we shared the large ricotta cannoli topped with chocolate chips. It was heavenly, light, creamy, and it practically melted in our mouths. Honestly, every dessert we've had here has been fantastic. Dolce Caffè continues to impress with its authentic Italian flavors, warm hospitality, and wonderful atmosphere. We can't wait for our next visit!

    Dolce Café had excellent service, and the food was delicious. I especially enjoyed my salad, along with all the pastries and desserts we ordered. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and I would definitely come back just for the salad. I'm not sure if the gentleman helping us was the owner, but he was incredibly kind and welcoming. He even offered water and a treat for my friend's dog, which was such a thoughtful gesture. His hospitality really made our visit even more enjoyable. Overall, a wonderful experience, and I look forward to coming back!

    Nice outdoor patio seating.

    Lovely little oasis! The hardest part was deciding what to order. Everything looked amazing. One of the owners was there to greet me and took her time educating me about all the choices. Very friendly staff. I love that I could sit out on the little patio with my dogs. Definitely adding this one to my favorites list.

    Best pastries in nevada! If you haven't been here, you need to! Their Italian pastries , cookies and wine selection is great!

    Dolce Caffe is such a cute spot. The staff was great and super helpful, which made the experience even better. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, so it's a nice place to relax for a bit. There were lots of delicious-looking pastries to choose from. The coffee menu is pretty minimal, but the atmosphere alone makes you want to come back. It's cozy, welcoming, and a great place to stop by for a treat.

    Its a super cute shop. Its small in the inside and a good place to take a small group or have a mini date. They had a lotnofnthings sold out by the time we came, but they had a lot of good options to pick from. The portion tonprice is also nice. I had a cannot, I chose large as the price difference wasn't that much. It was a bit crunchy. That filling was what got me though. With the pistachio. Pure perfection. It was a little messy to eat. Inused my hands to help. So worth it. If anyone has time check them out and head there earlier, so you have more options.

    Another great experience at this place! Tried new pastries and sandwiches. The service was superb, the owners were welcoming and friendly. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. Love the vibe and the food. Recommend their dirty chai for drinks and all their delicious pastries. Their pinwheel and cookies were so good!

    First time here and we will definitely be returning customers!! The owner, Melissa, was so sweet and has a very upbeat energy which is wonderful as an owner. You can tell she really enjoys what she does with her family. Also her mom is such a sweet Italian lady. The place is small but super cute. They have many options for pastries and the food was very delicious. My favorite is the caprese salad. Super yummy. Overall great little caffe and we will definitely be back.

    A wonderful spot to enjoy a warm beverage on a rainy fall day. You feel very comfortable and welcome here.

    Menu

    After seeing a few Instagram posts that Dolce Caffé was now offering dinner on their patio, I knew I had to try it. I almost went home to change because I was still in my workout clothes, but Claudio immediately made me feel welcome. He told me he wants everyone to feel like family, and that genuine hospitality set the tone for the entire evening. It was so hard to choose between the Meyer lemon ravioli and the crab and lobster ravioli with vodka sauce, but I ended up ordering the crab and lobster ravioli--and it was incredible! The hint of lemon zest added the perfect fresh finish to the rich, flavorful sauce. I also ordered the summer bruschetta, which was just as delicious. Claudio even helped me select a wine to pair with my meal, and I was pleasantly surprised by how reasonably priced all of the wines were. The outdoor patio is absolutely charming, with beautiful plants and warm string lights creating the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing dinner. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. Highly recommend!

    We made reservations for dinner and have to say it's one of the best experiences we've had in a long time. The staff is incredibly attentive, and they helped us pair wine with the specific dinners that we ordered. The food mouth watering! We had bruschetta, wagu ravioli and lemon ravioli and took our dessert home, which was lemon blueberry cheesecake and a cannoli filled ricotta and topped with chocolate chips on one side and pistachios on the other. Era tutto buonissimo!

    I received an immediate response from Claudio re: my review. I went in the next day and spoke to Melissa about my experience. She listened, explained what may have been the reason for dry lemon blueberry slices, and invited me to try other pastries. Every item I tried was fresh and delicious. So much so, that I ordered dessert for a weekend gathering. I was extremely impressed that Claudio took the time to respond to my review and that Melissa was extremely pleasant and made it clear her goal was to make me a happy and returning customer. I believe Dolce Caffe will start serving dinner at the Mayberry location this week. I wish the team at Dolce much success and look forward to having dinner with them soon.

It was a bit chaotic and confusing what made them different from any new bakery. Initially a lower value priced quality focused offering to rival perenn i believe they finally hit the spot. Their breads actually now have their character, right texture, flavor and freshness. The customer service has also improved. Staff is much friendlier than early days. I had the grinder sandwich and ate every single bite because it was so delicious. The crack and crumble of the bread was like a banh mi sandwich but filled with Italian ingredients. The only downside is their space is a bit tight for the amount of business they bring in and timing is essential to enjoy your experience here if you can grab a seat at the right time. We definitely added them back to our regular list of places to visit for our bakery needs on the mornings and weekend brunch.

    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.

    My sister was really looking forward to a visit @ Pine State Biscuits. With a 4+ star rating and…read moreover 1500 reviews, this place can't miss. Right??? Our family of 8 arrived here to a line that only continued to build. The line exited the building and began to wrap alongside the building. Seating here is first come first serve and are only designated by staff. Saving tables and sitting down prior to placing an order is a big no-no. BUT!! That didn't stop others from doing this anyhow. Let me start off by saying how chaotic this place is. This began from the initial line up to order and continued throughout the meal. Staff seemed flustered, overwhelmed, and moody. I'm not sure if the vibe of our visit would be considered "normal" to the staff and regulars but from my perspective looking in, it just seemed uncomfortably unorganized. As a forewarning to those who have never visited this establishment before, do your research and try to decide on what you would like to order prior to reaching the register area. Being prepared assists in quicker lines and you avoid looks of annoyance overall. Our family ordered a bunch of stuff: *THE REGGIE- hold the cheese & gravy *BLUEBERRY CORNMEAL PANCAKE - single *CORNMEAL PANCAKE- single *BUILD YOUR OWN BISCUIT - bacon, sausage, egg *Side order of EGG *Side order of BACON x2 *CHICKEN FRIED STEAK PLATE w/ BISCUIT *HASH BROWN, 2EGGS, + BACON *THE MONEYBALL *BEIGNETS Food came out at all different times. It was just unfortunate how one child in particular's meal came out at the very end when everyone was pretty much done with eating. The female staffer who brought over the dishes dropped plates on the table before scurrying off. At first I thought it was just a random occurrence but when it consistently happened, there was no way to justify that kind of service. Food was doable. The whole hype over Pine State Biscuits was simply that- JUST HYPE. The dining experience overall and vibe of the eatery was just not my scene. Kudos to those who genuinely enjoy the establishment but I'm gonna have to pass. I wouldn't openly waste my time or calories here.
