Lanza's Restaurant

Lanza's never disappoints! My wife and I have been coming here for our anniversary for the past few years. This has become our go to spot for a nice romantic dinner. The ambiance is great, the food is fantastic (you won't leave hungry), and the service is excellent. Highly reccomend!

5-Star Italian Restaurant. The food was served hot and delicious. The staff are friendly and never ignore what you need. Comfortable padding seating. Highly recommend.

Really enjoyed this place. The “pick your own pasta” option is super cool. We arrived around 4:30PM when the bar opens (Dinner starts at 5PM) to have some drinks and happy hour apps. The cocktails are excellent, the bartender is great, and the baked artichokes w/ mushrooms is a perfect app with some good red wine. They serve hot bread and whipped butter with dinner and the house dressing for salads is delicious. Our waitress was super kind and helpful and answered lots of menu questions. We ended up with the Lanza Special which is a pasta sampler including 2 types of stuffed shells, meat sauce, and penne. The meat sauce and shells are quite tasty. Portions are enormous so you’ll be leaving with some leftovers. For dessert, we tried the affogato and tiramisu. The tiramisu is both plentiful

My hopes were high, then I saw the pizza. It tasted even worse than it looked. The GF crust was fine but the sauce is awful. The broccoli was soggy and had that “I was a recent frozen vegetable” taste. The cheese was that terrible partially melted texture. The chicken did seem to be real chicken though. This pizza was brutally expensive and absolutely not worth it. I should have known better having been raised in the pizza belt, but I’ve had to lower my standards since moving to Appalachia. I have had better pizza in Western PA and that should tell you something. I forced myself to eat it because I didn’t have money to get anything else, and had already made it back to where I was staying. Unfortunately, I’m going to have to eat the rest before I leave as I planned the leftovers as another

I found this gem on Google under Italian restaurants and it was only 10 miles from Tahoe City where I was staying on a ski vacation. From the minute I walked in the door I was treated with courtesy and kindness by the host and servers. The food was super good (I had the sampler), glass of wine and the minestrone soup was packed with vegetables. The sourdough bread was tasty. It was the perfect meal that hit the spot.
