    Margarita pizza
    Ray N.

    The quality of the food and drink at Old Town Tap is outstanding. They make pizza that they bake in a Neapolitan style wood oven, and the quality of the operation is apparent in the product. The crust is almost cracker thin and crisp, the toppings are made from the best versions of local produce and meats. But it doesn't stop there: they have a fantastic Caesar salad (made with fresh romaine and radicchio) that is lightly dressed with a creamy dressing (that has a wonderful hint of a bite of raw garlic) and topped with a dusting of breadcrumbs and Parmesan. They serve roasted bone marrow, accompanied by a complete set of cornichons, mustard, and a caper jelly (as well as some arugula). Their Mac and cheese has a decadent béchamel sauce, and uses large shell pasta to absorb the rich cheeseiness of the dish. What's more, they offer high end soft serve ice cream with really nice toppings like cocoa nibs or hot fudge (very similar to the dessert offering at Zero Zero in SF) which is just delightful to have. They also have a majorly impressive selection of liquors (and especially mezcal). The cocktails that I've had here have been great.

    Came on a Friday night, the wait times for a group of 4 was about an hour and for a table of 2 was about 30 minutes. The beers and drinks are good, the food is okay.

    mediocre by any other standards. by tahoe standards I suppose good. Pizza dough pretty cardboardy. real simple pies. the sausage and meatball were just there. the bacon egg I thought would give carbonara but was more like breakfast. I wanted to try the salmon but they were out sad. I liked the caesar but hated the chicken. was expecting a grilled chicken but received cold deli chicken cut into thick strips. server and hostess was nice and good came out in time even tho it was a packed house. I liked the soft sere but it wasn't that creamy was more iced soft serve.

    Super Fast Service and Great Pizza. Warm olive appetizers were good, but be aware ALL of the Olives still had their pits, so eating them was a bit tedious.

    Mushroom Mac and cheese

    Wow, wow WOW, our first bites in Truckee and it did not disappoint. We came around 3pm on a Friday afternoon. The inside is quite dimmed but good, because it was a hot summer day. The AC was sooooo appreciated. We ordered a lot! And no complaints about anything. Not one bit! -bone marrow -mushroom Mac and cheese -Brussels sprouts -Caesar salad (anchovies on top were so good) Service was great and so attentive. Street paid parking.

    Menu

    Interior was relatively clean, service was friendly. The Brussels sprouts were good (4/5) and the pizza was fair (3/5). The cheese, sauce, and meatballs had good flavor but the crust was bland. We're unlikely to return in the future.

    Caeser salad

    Solid spot in Truckee! Tons of good options to choose from and solid ambiance for date night or if you want to come and check out a game! The Caeser salad was very good and all the pizzas looked very solid!

    Chain control for those Tahoe bound seemed to be a hit or miss this past winter. Even though you may be traveling through on a sunny day, if it's right after a storm, chain control may not lift over the summit until late afternoon. A normal 4 hours from the Bay Area can easily become over 9 hours like it was for us. I haven't stopped at Truckee for 30 years, but it was such a nice break for a late lunch at Old Town Tap. Sausage and kale Mac n cheese and mushroom pizza being pulled from the oven I had a view of from our table were both excellent and was the warming comfort food I needed before continuing the trek.

    Meatball pizza
    Judy S.

    What a beautiful Day to sit outside and soak up the sun and delicious food. We started with Sauvigon Blanc, lucky dog and warm olives. Moved on to Daou Cab, meatball pizza and a kale/quinoa salad. Server (Sean) was AMAZING and never felt rushed. 10/10

    The Drink that's circled. You are welcome.

    Shawn is an amazing bartender, craft cocktail ninja with exceptional customer service skills and a tremendous presence when my girl and I walked through the door. They hired the right man. It's this kind of customer service and feel like your family that makes a restaurant iconic. To also make a restaurant Iconic is the taste and texture of their food. They have an insane sourdough bread recipe that they put on their pizzas is off the chain. Pizza is competition grade world MainStage worthy. I got the Margarita and added double topping pepperoni. A1 taste and texture. I eat at 100s of restaurants and I'm a food retard. I only review restaurants that aren insanely good or restaurants that I want to burn down. This restaurant is not the latter. 5 STARS ACROSS THE BOARD. mn

    $33 cheese and charcuterie board. Rather sparse
    Sarah S.

    I came here with girlfriends for a friends birthday lunch. To start, we got the cheese and charcuterie board with flatbread. For $33, it seemed rather sparse- a huge board with not a ton on it. We each got drinks- the margaritas were enjoyable, and I got a glass of wine. For entrees, we split a pizza, another got Mac and cheese and I got the kale salad. I should've read the salad description better because the dressing was really spicy! I didn't recall reading about anything spicy but later saw that it said a shisito vinaigrette. The dressing ruined it in my opinion, if I ordered again, I'd ask for a different dressing. Service was average. We sat outside and the ambiance was lovely- people watching and also enjoying talking with each other

    potato pizza
    Michelle Z.

    Stopped here for lunch during a recent trip to Tahoe and they were able to accommodate a group of 12 easily and very quickly! Very spacious interior and friendly staff. Food came out very fast and service was quick. Prices were fairly reasonable although portions / pizza size was smaller than I expected. I liked the sausage and kale mac and cheese -- it was super flavorful and the top was crispy. Thought the potato pizza was okay (too salty on bites with bacon and flavorless otherwise) and the potato chunks were a bit random. The crust wasn't as flavorful as I expected either.

    We tried to eat here yesterday specifically for the outdoor seating, but were told the patio was closed. This was disappointing since the weather was clear with no rain or snow. We ended up walking over to Bar of America instead, where they were happy to seat us outdoors on their heated patio.

    Double charged for the Mac and cheese

The door was a freezer door and then you walk in to the actual bar itself. This is not a bis bar but spacious enough. We walked in and were sat by the booth all the way in the front by the music artist. It was actually so cool how they had the artist who was playing a saxophone, then the guitar then he can also sing and had a good voice. My major feed back with our experience is how the service was slow. We did have a big party, but what was crazy was that there was only one bartender. Mind you there was a host where you walk in and they count how many guest are there. The other person who helped at the bar did not come in until later and I'm not even sure if she actually helped out. Anyways, all their drinks I believe were the same price. I ordered the oasis which was really refreshing and tangy which I really liked. My bf ordered the tales of bourbon which unfortunately he did not like. Even our other friend who ordered the same thing did not like the bourbon. I do think the majority of our group enjoyed their drink. I would definitely say a nice spot to try and highly recommend it.

I'll say right off, I'm giving them 4-stars since I had time to just grab one drink and a snack. I'm sure when I come back and can hang out for longer, the next review will easily bump up to the 5-star level. Firstly, this is a cool hole in the wall, very nice ambiance, and set back in a way that makes it feel a bit like a speakeasy. The decor is very stylish and atmospheric, with plenty of comfy chairs and spaces at the bar, and the staff were quite friendly. And while I'm not the biggest fan of these in here, the bar has many countertop video poker machines, should you be inclined to play. This is a full bar, so they have plenty of selections for wine, beer, and spirits. But the main attraction are their house cocktails. Only had time to try one on this visit, but that Saffron Sazerac was very interesting indeed, and definitely makes me want to swing by and try more of their menu. And should you need something to snack on, they also have a small menu of bar bites, which is just enough to hit the spot. And as for prices, I found them pretty darn reasonable, especially given this is Tahoe, we're talking about. So yeah, all said, I have been fairly impressed with Gaviota. Definitely going to keep them on my short list of drinking spots on North Shore, and I think anyone looking for a classy beverage will love it here too. Hope to swing by again soon.
