Starting with the pickled fries for a delightful appetizer of which we were certainly not disappointed. They were far superior to any we had experienced before and was definitely a must to awaken your taste buds. For the main course our party ordered the penny pasta bake, hamburger and frys, salad and barbecue chicken pizza. We were all very pleased with our various dishes. Not only was the food beautifully presented but absolutely delicious. We completed our meal with the chocolate lasagna, a real treat for the palette. Next time, i'm going to try their banana pudding, which is one of my favorite desserts. The owner of the restaurant along with the waiters and staff were all very friendly going above our expectations in making our dining experience an evening to remember. Thank you Cook'd for running a first class 5 star restaurant. Shirlyn, Sherry and Rich...

It took the kitchen over an hour to get our food on the table! Once delivered we had to eat so quickly as we needed to leave for the movie. I decided to have appetizers for dinner and asked the two come when everyone was served with dinner. Well she brought out the bruschetta along with everyone's appetizers. I just took them. These were the smallest pieces of bread that I've ever seen. The tomatoes tasted a bit old and bland. That goodness they had balsamic vinegar on the table. 45 minutes later after 2 inquiries about where our food was we were served. My 2nd appetizer was served. Gorgonzola stuffed mushrooms. If I hadn't been so hungry I would have sent these back. No way was that Gorgonzola cheese! So bland, no flavor. My husband's bolognese was so watery and unappealing. He powered through again extremely hungry. Maybe it was an off night, maybe it is how the kitchen runs itself now, we will not be returning.

Sad to say this but it was awful. Don't let this be the only…read moreexperience memory you have of Chicago tavern / thin crust / cracker crust pizza. This was way too thin, greasy and salty I wanted to love this place but I just can't, the flavors were terrible quality. Come on Mike! I met his daughter. Nice people and cute inside but who cares about that when you want actual good food? The best Chicago pizza is in Rockford, IL! (The hometown of classic rock band Cheap Trick! And The Rockford Peaches ) Go to Linos on E State street- your mind will be blown, no doubt. That is top quality in every way. Second is The Capri on Riverside Third is a tie between Sams and Gerry's and Nunzios. (All in Rockford about an hour from the city of Chicago!) You're welcome, and tell them the Locascio's sent ya.

We just finished up a meal at Notty's in Zephyr Cove, and I have to say that it was SO GOOD. The…read more"Italian burritos" were made to order and delicious, the salad was crisp and fresh, and even the soda water-to-syrup mix in the soft drink machine was spot on. All the ambience of an In-n-Out Burger - bright white and red tiles, and nuclear-strength overhead lights, but the place is as clean as a hospital operating room, and the gentleman who made our meals was friendly, outgoing, and just generally a total delight. Yes, we added a tip. On top of that, in a day and age where $20 gets you a burger a la carte, fries being extra, the prices ($8 and $10) are incredibly fair. It might be the best meal value in the entire Tahoe basin. Whatever expectations I had going in, Notty's completely and absolutely exceeded all of them. We will definitely return.

It was evening and we were trying to find some dinner close by. I looked to Yelp, and found this…read moreinteresting place, Notty's. We were the only customers that evening, so the worker was able to give us some background and how to order. It's cool that it's made to order. We got to see him put the toppings in the dough, wrap it up and place in the oven for about 5 minutes. So essentially their Italian Burrito is just a different shaped Calzone. As we ate it, I noticed the filling worked it's way to the bottom of the burrito. So the first couple of bites were essentially just dough. Once I finally got some filling, it was ok. Maybe it was an off day. But for me, I shouldn't have let my curiosity of "what is an Italian Burrito" get to me haha.

I met a couple of friendly locals at the restaurant who affirmed this. Service: Excellent from being greeted at the door to an introduction to the menu. Food: Excellent. For pastas, you can choose your own pasta shape. The pesto pasta was perfectly al dente. The pizza menu has 20 different options. The Cassinetta pizza was great with sausage, mozzerella, sausage, and bell peppers. Don't skip dessert! The panna cotta with berry sauce was divine. I will definitely be back.

I also got to try 1/2 slice of a friend's pizza. The gnocco fritto was tasty although the bread is a bit thick so a little on the doughier side. They were pretty tasty though and had a good olive oil and oregano flavor. The malfadine pasta had a great texture and the sauce was very meaty although I felt like the bolognese could use a little more aromatics to make the flavors pop more. The pizza was also really well made and the ingredients fresh but the crust was a bit bland. All in all, pretty solid place that could be excellent with a few minor changes.

They turn the lights off in eight or nine weeks and if you haven't ever eaten here, thought about eating here, or been a regular, it's worthy of one last visit, that's what we did last night. The first thing we ordered was a glass of wine each and then we moved onto a bottle of Oak Farm winery Lodi Zinfandel. We started our meal with the risotto crabcake appetizer special. We got one crabcake each, and Lea and I both thoroughly enjoyed it. We then chose the swordfish special and the cioppino as our main courses, and, again we were happy with our decisions. This was our second visit to Cafe Fiore, and on both occasions, we found the service to be special and the environment to be warm and inviting. Some might even call the environment, cozy. I concluded my meal with the house made white chocolate ice cream, and Lea was able to resist as she was full. So you've got about eight weeks and reservations will, I'm sure, get quite hard to get the closer the end comes. This was the third of three restaurants that I would consider iconic at Lake Tahoe that are closing or have closed since October 2024. Change is constant, and now three great places are gone. The good news is one of the three, Edgewood, will re-emerge after a renovation of the space, but the Lone Eagle Grill and Cafe Fiore will be gone.

The wine list was extensive and had a great selection. We started with garlic bread. All entrees came with a choice of house salad or minestrone; all at my tables chose the salad, which was super fresh and dressed in a well balanced roasted shallot vinaigrette. I ordered a seafood pasta which was loaded with perfectly cooked scallops and shrimp and the pasta was well seasoned and well cooked. Everyone at the table was very happy with their meals. Dessert was decadent and the white chocolate ice cream is a can't miss! This is such a wonderful date night or place for a special occasion!

I was hungry, but she wasn't so we shared a few dishes, which were graciously supported with fresh serving plates for each dish. We really do love sharing plates. Martini for me, delicious blood orange Italian soda for her. Calamari appetizer. Golden beet salad with fried goat cheese. Seafood with squid in pasta. We both loved every bite, including the perfectly al dente noodles. I secretly wish for bread, but I'll know to order it next time. The wine selection was amazing, and I ordered a special Chiati limited from 2023.Twas amazing! Service gracious, friendly, and impeccable. Will return!

The outside was really nice looking The ambiance was really…read morenice inside. Music was at a perfect tone so you could enjoy a mice conversation. It was relaxing. Hostess was really sweet and cheerful. Loved that. Now is where the problem started. Our waiter never introduced himself, but the receipt says Steve S. He walked up, said do you want something to drink besides water, that is where the conversation ended when we said no thank you. We asked for ice for the water as they try to keep it authentic. He goes and grabs some ice, puts into 1 glass and walks off. We had a glass each. So, I still have no ice. Never did get any either!!!! He never came back so sometime else dropped off the food. For that fact, he never came back period. We had to ask the hostess to get him for us. She said he would be right there, time passes and still have not seen him. He NEVER came back ever. The hostess had to go get our ticket and ring us out. So yeah, tip was not great either. You get a tip for service rendered to a customer. If you do not do anything, it will reflect! On to the food. So for the waiter 0.1 stars. Worst wev3e ever had!! We ordered the warm olives 3.5 stars They were ok. The cheesy pull apart bread. Very little cheese on it at all. If you're calling it cheesy, I want some cheesy on it. 3 stars The octopus with 1000-layer potatoes and a dressed salad. Octopus, solid 4 stars as I have never had it in my life to compare it. Was tender chewy if that makes sense. The aioli that comes with it pairs nicely! 1000-layer potatoes 5 stars solid!! I would eat these for a meal. Salad 3 stars, dressing was very little. So, all in all, ambiance was really nice, meal was just ok and waitstaff was the worst I've ever had in a nice restaurant Everyone keeps talking about their great experiences, so where was our great experience. So due to this 1 bad experience, we will not give it a 2nd chance.

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
