    I heard from a friend that this place is really good and we all met to catch up. When entering, they have the register and tables to the side. The tables are big enough for large groups. People say their bagels are amazing so we had to try. We ordered the following: - Breakfast Sando: The bagel was chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The egg was fluffy. Not a fan of kale, but it was surprisingly good. - Mochi Waffle: I love the chewy texture! It was a lot larger than I expected so I couldn't finished it all. The ube whipping was delicious and not too sweet. We got numbers at our table after paying and once the food is ready, they serve it to your table. This is a good place to order food and hang out/chat. There is seating outside as well.

    We stopped Lillo Eatery for brunch with the family and had such a great experience. We ordered the za'taar bagel with miso scallion cream cheese, a mochi waffle, a breakfast sandwich, and iced lattes. The za'taar bagel caught my attention since it's not a flavor I've seen before, and it didn't disappoint. It was savory, aromatic, and perfectly balanced with the creamy miso scallion spread. I love places that get creative with their cream cheese options, and this one really stood out. The mochi waffle was another highlight. It was perfectly light and crisp outside, and soft and chewy on the inside, served with fresh fruit. The space itself is bright and airy, with tall ceilings and a relaxed vibe, plus a spacious patio that's perfect for a casual morning. It's such a charming spot for breakfast or brunch. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

    Looking for a bite for breakfast and remembered that I had been wanting to visit Lillo in NW Reno. Love the interior of this restaurant-spacious, bright, clean and very welcoming. They also have a very nice patio space. We had the mochi waffle and bagel and lox. Salmon was fresh and bagel was prepared well. I love capers and was so glad they added a generous portion. The mochi waffle was delicious-light and sweet. You could just eat it by itself it was that good, but why would you want to when you have delicious ube whipped cream and ripe berries? Very good meal and we will be returning.

    Came by this weekend and was devastated to see that this is closed. Best wishes to the owners on their next adventure!

    My friends and I were out on an early morning hike that was a bit too cold, and we were in need of great brunch and coffee. Happy that we chose to come here. Ordered an avocado toast, mochi waffle and Vacation poke (great name!), and it was all delicious. Coffee served in big mugs were fresh, strong and great. Fresh food that gave us good energy boost but didn't weigh us down... yeah! The service is wonderful too, and outside patio is just comfortable and lovely. Will definitely be back! Very soon!

    Just wow - where has this place been all my life?!? We were absolutely blown away by the selection and are going to have to go back to try all the things we missed! We came in around 10:30 on a Saturday and the staff were all friendly and attentive. It wasn't too busy at all. The restaurant is clean and while the parking lot can be tight with other businesses open, there was plenty of parking. We had the mochi waffle which was delicious though I would not recommend to anyone who doesn't like the taste of powdered sugar. The lox bagel did have a poke twist with strong dill flavoring but it was the best bagel and lox I've had! We came back the next weekend to have it again + the breakfast sandwich. We bought some bagels to take home and were looking forward to enjoying the food all over again! We opted for the miso and scallion cream cheese and it did not disappoint!

    Small cute dinning area. They also have outside seating for warmer weather. I went in with my son after many suggestions to come here. We ordered the mochi waffle to share. It was good but nothing special. My son ordered a poke bowl. He enjoyed it. Everything was fresh. I ordered a salt bagel with their garlic scallion black pepper cream cheese, it was delicious. I wanted to try the kimchi fried rice but they were out. The service was ok. They didn't greet us as we walked in. If I didn't know it was self seating and that you would have to order at the front I would have just sat there because no one says anything. I ordered my food and asked for water. The cashier said ok but never gave me water. Turns out that is self serve I had to figure that out myself as well. We were one of two tables so they weren't busy. I will come back to try other bagels. Hopefully service will be better.

    Came here from school pickup with my son. Cute little place, lots of sunlight and foliage inside. I tried the avocado toast bagel with a side of bacon. The avocado toast was packed with avocado but the bagel itself being chewy and it being open faced made it really messy and difficult to eat. I needed loads of napkins. The flavor is good, I enjoyed the pickled onions. The breakfast sandwich my son ordered is your typical breakfast sando that they added kale to. It was good, didn't make me jump out of seat or anything but he enjoyed it. Overall we had a good first experience:)

    Bagels for breakfast are not my thing but I have to say the bagel flavor choices here are just fantastic. We had the Zatar bagel and I would love to come back for their Miso-Charred Scallion Schmear. We also shared their Shakshuka which was spiced appropriately and the eggs were cooked perfectly. Their patio seating area was a great place for our romantic breakfast date but sitting inside would also be very comfortable is it is nice in there as well. The staff were very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions that we had and our food came out hot and fast. We look forward to trying more of their menu.

    I am so glad to see another cafe in the area! I used to stop here many years ago when it was a cafe of a different name, Lillo's is better! My husband and I had a beautiful breakfast together on their patio. We split the Shakshuka and and a Zatar Bagel and Lox both of which were just lovely. Neither of us are much for standard breakfast fair so this was just so refreshing! Topped off with a latte and hot tea this was a lovely morning. Everyone there was also so kind and helpful. They patiently answered all of my bagel questions! This is a winner of a joint that I can't wait to return to!

    So good! I came in because I heard they just recently opened up and had to stop in to try it! The first thing I noticed were the freshly made bagels! I love avocado toast and they had it on the menu so I had to order it! The garlic bagel was so good and the toppings were so delicious, it was perfect! I plan to go back to try their other items! The service was great! The ladies behind the counter were so pleasant and so inviting. They explained how the bagels are made fresh every morning, which comes from Off Center Bagels! The restaurant was so cute and comforting! I highly recommend stopping by!

    Complimentary Strawberry water

    Run to this place immediately! It's been a few days, but I am still obsessing over the items we tried. Also the service was phenomenal! Everything looked and sounded so good but we couldn't decide. The friendly staff walked us through everything since it was our first time and let us know what their favorite things were. To start I chose the Za'atar bagel with Miso- Scallion Smear. The flavors together were unbelievably good! Nothing like I've ever had before that's for sure. The complimentary strawberry water was also very nice and refreshing. Something I'll definitely be making for myself at home along with a few mint leaves. They have a cute outdoor patio area that provides plenty of shade and they are dog friendly! The last thing we tried was the Mochi waffle with Ube whipped cream and berries. I cannot begin to describe how sensational every single bite was. This may be overrated but honestly, chef's kiss. I was blown away by the texture and flavors of the waffle. It is an absolute must try! I can't wait to go back. I'm so excited to know that this little gem exists and is so close by.

    Shakshuka
    Allyson L.

    Love the outdoor seating. Wish they posted menus around and not just by the cash register. Luckily it was before 11:30 AM, so we could still order the mochi waffle and shakshuka. The mochi waffle wasn't as chewy as mochi usually is. It was a bit dry too. But the Ube cream was delicious. The shakshuka almost tasted like chili but without the meat. Bread was good.

    Yes

    I read that the patio is dog friendly but would I be able to bring my dog inside to order and then immediately go outside to wait/eat? It's okay if the answer is no! Just want to check before I do anything :)

The place was pretty busy, as expected on Valentine's. Our server was quick to get our drink order and tell us about the menu. The place is small, but well designed, and the use of space is thoughtful. My wife ordered an Italian soda, boy, was it good! Super fresh ingredients. I'm not positive, but while watching our server make it at the bar, it looked like house-made syrup and whipped cream, too. We decided on the Meatball Roman Sandwich ($18) and the Salad/Sandwich ($20) combo for lunch. I ordered the MadeIn salad and the Pablo's feast sandwich, which was an extra $5 when added to the 2 for $20 deal. Food came fairly quickly, and the presentation of the meatball sandwich was amazing! The meatballs were great, and the house made foccacia is hard to beat. Fresh pesto is always a nice touch. The dish was not too heavy at all, as some meatball subs are. The MadeIn salad is similar to a Caesar, but with some added greens like arugula and endive, and sesame breadcrumbs, rather than croutons. I actually preferred it over a classic Caesar. The dressing was incredible. So fresh and so much anchovy flavor. The Pablo's Feast sandwich was incredible, too. Great ratio of filling to bread, and the tomato jam is so good, I would buy it by the jar. The bitterness of broccoli rabe was a great complement to the entire meal. It's clear that flavors here at MadeIn are developed over time with careful thought and planning. Everything is fresh and delicious. The open kitchen concept allows customers to feel like they are a part of the experience and creates a unique dining environment. I can't wait to come back here for dinner sometime soon.

This restaurant really put in so much effort to make their interior very welcoming and gorgeous! Service 5/5 - our hostess was always checking in with us as soon as we arrived! From start to finish, we were always helped and taken care of! Food 4.5/5 - I ordered the set course menu (+some starters!) and it was so worth it! The seafood was so fresh, the only things I would pick on is 1. The dressing on the roasted carrots wasn't something I enjoyed. 2. The mussels tasted of sand! I loved the fresh bread and butter and would highly recommend the scallops! Overall, I love this little gem of a find and would come again!

    I have been to Claio two times now, and both were great experiences!…read more The first time, a few friends and I shared the Rotisserie chicken platter for a late lunch. The interior is very nice, very light and airy and it provides a great ambiance. The second time, my roommate and I went for our annual galentines dinner and it was even better, especially because everything was pink! Our sever, Brianna was really great! She was super friendly and helpful throughout the meal. We started with the Housemade Ricotta and toast and my. God. It was so delicious. Super light, the bread was perfectly toasted and the truffle honey is so yum. It's a great app. I'd like to try the roasted beets next time! For dinner, we had the Babette Steak w/ Crispy Schmaltz Potatoes and the Lamb Burger w/ Crispy Schmaltz Potatoes. FYI, the potatoes are always a good choice. My steak was delicious and cooked to my liking. I even ate the entire side salad! It paired well with the meal. My roomate also enjoyed the burger. She also had a lavender cocktail that was visually gorg and tasty. Now: dessert! Claio's soft serve is always fun, and they had a pistachio baklava version. The cold, creamy soft serve was paired with pistachio cream and buttered kataifi. Really yum, especially if you like pistachio. We also tried to sokolatopita chocolate cake. I was a little apprehensive because it is chocolate + orange, but I didn't taste the orange blossom and it was really delish. The cake is nice and chocolatey with fudgy chocolate ganache and the tahini mousse! I love tahini and the mousse was a little earthy but nice and light. Overall, a really lovely dinner at Claio! I am really excited to go back, hopefully soon!

We had several drinks and every single one was perfection! The bathroom is the cutest and they have the coolest speakeasy door that the employees use to get to the back (not for the customers). My rant..I'm not from the area so I had NO idea what this place was when I walked by. It looked cute so my husband, myself and child walked up the steps and they sat outside while I went to check it out and see if this was a bar/club/ restaurant. I walked inside and instantly got the death glare from an employee. I instantly said omg I take it this place isn't kid friendly.. he rudely said no. I wanted to clarify and confirm even outside ? He said no. I apologized and they left but the vibe and way he said it was definitely off putting. My sister and I decided to stay for a drink while my husband/child went to walk around. Usually I don't give bad costumer service a chance.. but I realllllllly wanted a drink that one of those others customers were drinking. If this place had better costumer service. It would be a 5
