I've been visiting Flocchini Family Provisions off and on for the past 10 years, and I recently…read morelearned from this lovely lady that works there (wish I had taken her name down) they occasionally sell the extra sausages made from special orders. You will find these in their frozen area. This is too good of a find to keep to myself! That's how I scored their Elk & Pork Bratwurst with Cheddar and Jalapeños and Wagyu Cross Beef Hot Dogs. My usual favorite is the Old Fashioned Beef Hot Dogs, they have that satisfying snap and flavor you just don't get anywhere else. Flocchini is a third-generation family business that handcrafts small-batch sausages using whole muscle meats and simple, high-quality ingredients. The store is tucked behind the Cal-Ranch area, but absolutely worth the stop. Friendly staff, fair prices, and unbeatable flavor.

Ordering a Flocchini sausage on a bun at a Reno Aces game is a highlight when Gayle and I take in a…read morebaseball game. I go for the cheesy Brad, while Gayle opts for a spicier choice. With everything on it, it's so delicious and messy that we eat it at a counter (overlooking the game) before going back to our seats. Note to Professional Sports Catering (@Greater Nevada Field) - You need to supply a bun that can stand up to a Flocchini sausage. I've never seen bread disintegrate so fast after the first bite.

Carne Asada Tacos? Yes, Yes, Yes…read more Damn that habanero salsa. It had a kick! Wonderfully so. The green salsa was an all around winner.

I love coming to Mexican markets that have an attached kitchen, the food is fresh and you can pick…read moreup some essentials for your cocina while getting tacos or a burrito. I came in with some friends on a late evening and the place was still busy. Some items are a la carte, so you can try a number of different things without having to worry about combos. The tacos are on the small side, but that is great too because you can try more options! I ordered 4 tacos pastor, they were juicy and flavorful. I could have had more, but it was enough to satisfy me. I also got a large horchata, it was made fresh and was delicious! It could have been filtered a little better, it was a touch gritty, but that is the only thing I would have changed in my whole meal. Next to the kitchen there is a seating area to enoy your meal. Come and get a burrito, tacos, a torta, or a combo, pick up some groceries and have a great meal.

We were heading into Carson City and looked on Yelp for a place to have breakfast. Boy, are we…read moreglad we found the Villa Basque Cafe! Here is what we noticed: - It's a pretty unassuming place...we parked in the side lot and walked around to their main entrance. They even had some specials highlighted as we entered. - Inside there is lots of seating...when we arrived the front of the place was empty, but people were sitting there when we left and we noticed that it is much quieter in that section of the restaurant than in the main dining room. - As others have noted, chorizo is their specialty and it's in many of the dishes. And, it is worth it!...and, not spicy like you might think of chorizo. My wife and I ordered the Quesadilla and the Basque Omelette, and we split both (plus, we took some home too). Each dish was really good in its own right, and being able to have the chorizo prepared two ways was great. Their home fries were really tasty too. - Service was good....very attentive, especially considering that it took us a while to decide what to order given the breadth of the menu. - We paid cash because of their sign indicating that that was preferred. Bottom line: We'd go back to Villa Basque Cafe anytime we're in Carson City...next time, we'd like to try some of their lunch options!

I even went as far as to contact the company by email to tell them whats going on at this location a long time ago. The email was ignored.

Poorly managed location.

So I have been coming to Hacienda market and Grill for a little over a year now. My dad and I meet…read morehere every Tuesday for taco Tuesday. I have to say this place is absolutely amazing and the staff is wonderful. The young gal that takes our order, always knows what we want and remembers it every week. I absolutely have no idea how she does it. She's friendly and very professional and makes you feel comfortable when you're there. Not only does Hacienda have great food. But they have an excellent selection of groceries and Mexican sweet bread for your enjoyment. They also have an excellent meat market with a great selection at different cuts of meats. As well as a bakery in the back. I'm not sure if they do birthday cakes or not but I think they might. The place is clean and colorful. There's plenty of parking. However, during lunchtime, it does get pretty busy so normally when we meet there, we meet after the lunch hour. Hacienda market and Grill is well known in the Carson City area. But if you've never been there, I highly suggest you get down there and try some of their amazing food and delicious sweet bread.!

This is easily my favorite spot for breakfast and lunch. Bin coming here for a few years and surprisingly hadn't reviewed them.

However, I had a hard time with getting anyone to help me get the cake at the cake department. There were 3 people working, all three would look at me and not help me. I waited probably about 10 minutes just to be helped which was strange. Once I was finally acknowledged, they couldn't find my cake and I was so worried it was missing. But eventually they did find it... seemed a bit disorganized. Also, I went to buy the rest of my groceries for the party and bought three bottles of cranberry juice. Once I got home, I realized they were three months expired. Yikes. I threw them out.

Mostly there are rolls packaged like a California roll for about $9.50 for 12 pieces. The fancier rolls cost more, like ones with tuna or crystal shrimp and other toppings. But they also offer nigiri pieces in a bigger package with one roll, for like $15. The prices are about what you might pay at a sushi bar ala carte. The quality is pretty good, good as any sushi bar in town at least. This sushi is waaay better than the pre packaged stuff at like Trader Joe's or Costco. Pro tip, fresh sushi does NOT keep for long, so eat it the same day, otherwise it might get dried out. Good to have a fresh made sushi choice right here at the Save mart! If you don't see what you want, just ask and they chef will make it for you! Each box has wasabi and ginger as well as soy sauce included!

We arrived en mass and were welcomed by an excellent staff at the door. As that our group for the most part were of Italian Mediterranean parentage all were pleasantly surprised at the numerous authentic dishes form which to chose. When our entrees arrived our group got very quiet-not an easy thing to do considering the persona of us overall. Excellent food, good wine, very generous portions with perfect timing in regard to the appetizers and entrees being served together. As we finished we asked that a glass of the chefs favorite wine be sent back in a show of appreciation. Slade came out and thanked us; we were surprised to see how young he was for the expertise in which he had prepared such an excellent experience. Naturally being the shy retiring wallflowers we are -NOT- we asked about his background and were pleasantly surprised again to find his culinary education had started with family and grown as he had. Good to find locally owned family core dining downtown Carson City, in the heart of our old town settings. Your family did well with you, Slade, and you honor them with your expertise. See you again soon-bank on that.

My wife had the pork loin special that she absolutely loved. The side veggies were somewhat bland. I had the wonderful tasting cioppino and turns out it is lazy man's (you have to pick out the shells). After I picked the meat out of shells and wiped off my hands, I enjoyed the flavors of my dinner. To top it off, our waiter surprised us with the restaurants take on tiramisu. OMG! One piece is plenty for two people. The atmosphere is pleasant and the service is relaxed. A bit too relaxed for me but that my be the way italia likes it.
