“We had a 745pm reservation on a Friday night. We arrived a bit early and our table was not yet ready and since the place is really small we had to wait outside and the heater was out of gas so we were out in the cold (it was raining and was 39°F) for about 10 minutes. We were asked if we wanted bread - garlic bread or another option - we ordered the garlic bread which was good when it came out warm and fresh, however, got cold easily. I do not think it is worth $10. We ordered the soft-shelled crab for our appetizer and it was amazing ! I ordered the Linguine Fra Diavolo - it had adequate amount of seafood in it, the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and had great flavor. My boyfriend ordered the Bistecca alla Veneziana - it was a huge portion as it came with 2 steaks. The filet mignon was cooked as ordered (medium rare), however, they were not that tender but still okay. We Got the pear for dessert and this was very delicious! Servers that night, Ed and Jennifer, were nice and friendly Price is reasonable considering the size of the portions. Please note that the bill does not show an itemized list of the order - it has several lines of just prices. The place has 6 tables so make sure you call to make reservations - there is no option of doing online reservation. There is a parking lot. We will definitely return to this place the next time we visit South Lake Tahoe.“

“Good food! Prosciutto was way to salty thay it overpowered the rest of the ingredients. Pesto tasted great and so did the artichoke. Its just that the flavors of each dish doesnt compliment the other dishes for some reason. Individually its great but eaten together it was all over the place bur great food still tho! Would come back!“

“We went to the sushi bar here. It was a great place. Unusual decor but friendly staff. Very busy so it’s poplar. The menu was exciting and the food was excellent and well priced, but the venue was cold (we ate in our ski clothes, hat and jacket!) and all our meal were lukewarm in temperature when we went to eat. Disappointed.“

Tahoe Italian Kitchen Italian •
15 US-50, Stateline - 2.33 miles

“I went on the last night of my trip to Tahoe. I got a message that my table was ready early, so I was able to go up before 7. I was seated quickly and attended to quickly with bread. The main server was good and gave great recommendations. I got the margharita pizza and chicken parm with fresh fettuccine. The bread was good, though it took a while to get tea refills. The pizza was tasty though not the best I've ever had. The chicken parm was good and the fettuccine was delightful The thing I was most impressed by is the value. The costs are higher than Olive Garden, but extremely reasonable for the quantity of food and quality. This might be the best value in Tahoe.“
