TL;DR - Easily the best restaurant in the Lake Tahoe area and one of the best meals of my life. Go here.
I am not a Michelin reviewer and Michelin does not review in SLT of course but this restaurant definitely deserves AT LEAST a Bib Gourmand award.
Let's start with the service, it was superb. We were a walk up and did not realize we would need a reservation but they squeezed us in without much trouble. Everyone was extremely friendly and eager to answer questions and assist us with choices.
I won't spend much time on the atmosphere, but if you're looking for a spectacular date, you couldn't design a better location. I want to come back here in the winter just so I can sit at a window table and watch it snow as I eat some pasta. I would choose this over the Edgewood view, but maybe that's just me. I will say, this place is not ideal for large groups. They could probably accommodate 6 people at most.
The food is absolutely out of this world. I'm very picky when it comes to pasta, having worked at multiple Italian restaurants. Before tonight, there was only one pasta in all of California that I could honestly recommend. There are now two. I got the Spaghetti con Salsiccia and my wife got the Idaho trout special. It was genuinely one of the best meals of my life.
This place might not be for everyone, but if you have a genuine palette and appreciate good food you won't be disappointed.
