This wonderful little place checks all the boxes. 1) The food is great and reasonably priced. Our party of four for lunch ordered two pizzas and one pasta and nobody left hungry. Everything we ordered was delicious and my companions were genuinely impressed. The pizza menu has some great offerings you don’t see too often outside Italy, including arugula and prosciutto atop pizza. The pasta and sauces are made in-house by the owner from northern Italy as well!! The beer and wine list is small, but well curated with something for everyone. Even the espresso exceeded my expectations. 2) The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Even if you peek inside the open kitchen you’ll find everything clean, neat, and organized. 3) Most importantly, the staff, including the warm owners, are hospitable and welcoming. Everyone was kind and all of our needs were taken care of without our having to ask. A family with two younger children came in after us and they were given the same care and attention that we received. Our experience from the moment we walked in to the moment we left was top-notch and I can’t recommend the place enough.

This is the best pasta I’ve had in the US and I’ve lived in the North End in Boston and near St Louis’ The Hill, both Italian native hot spots. Great pasta doesn’t require a white table cloth, “fine dining” experience. Great pasta doesn’t require fine dining prices. We were in town for the Marathon and my partner wanted pasta the night before. Not wanting a big bill or to sit at a place for an hour while being waited on, we were sure we’d have to settle for a mom and pop shop with sticky white and red table cloth place and average pasta. We were stoked to find this! This place is a come as you are place. Dress up or stay cozy, you can make it your own experience! We chose cozy, but had a few date night, wine bottle experiences to our left. The pesto blew my mind - I ate so slow as to enjoy it. The bolognese wasn’t your Americanized tomato sauce and meat - it was super traditional and so delicious. The noodles were clearly fresh and perfectly al dente. I will tell everyone to go here if they’re in South Tahoe and cant wait to go back to enjoy!

We’ve visited this place twice, and both experiences were fantastic. The first time, we came with a large group and ordered three pizzas, three pasta dishes, a fried artichoke appetizer, and some wine. Everything was absolutely delicious. Even though the restaurant was busy, our order was taken quickly, and the food arrived promptly. We were so impressed, we decided to return for a second visit. The second time was even better. The restaurant was less crowded, which gave us the chance to chat with one of the owners. She was incredibly friendly and took the time to share some of the restaurant’s story with us. This time, we ordered a Margherita pizza, campanelle pasta with tomato sauce, and a salad. Every dish was outstanding. The pasta was exceptional—you can tell it's handmade. The pizza was also excellent, but it's definitely not your typical American-style pizza. If that's what you're after, this isn’t the place. Try a pub instead. But if you’re looking for authentic, high-quality Italian food is SLT, this spot is a gem.

This place deserves every one of it’s 5 stars for delivering a dining experience that exudes authenticity. The menu got wide variety of options, and we couldn't resist trying both pasta and pizza. Each dish was a masterpiece, perfectly capturing the essence of Italian flavors. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the pizzas had that heavenly wood-fired taste. To top it all off, the dessert was simply divine. Not only was the food outstanding, but the service was also impeccable. The attentive staff went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was memorable. This restaurant is a hidden gem that we're thrilled to have discovered, and we'll undoubtedly be back for more of their mouthwatering delights.

I was recommended the place by an aunt and I went with my mom. We ordered to go since we have a parrot who requires a lot of attention. We were very excited about the food, but it didnt look like the picture. The taste was also pretty bad. Probably one of the worst pizzas and pastas ive had in a while. It almost reminded me of food distribution for low income families that my family was given during COVID. Our pizza was burnt, very thin, extremely greasy, and lacked any taste. The pasta was also bland and tastes and smelled like dog food. The service was actually fine. Im not sure if we ordered something that was not popular or just got unlucky. We ordered the margherita pizza and the bolognese pasta

We were looking for Italian after getting here in the dark and the nice lighting while driving on 50 attracted my attention and wow this place was amazing. It was lively and the servers had great personalities and attention to detail. We were lucky enough to arrive on the 3rd Thursday of the month which gets an all you can eat pizza experience for a very decent price, on top of that the pizzas had amazing complex flavors to them. The wine on tap was also really cool. Another great quality of this establishment is they make all the pasta shells and dough in house. This was a rare and great experience and will be sharing with friends and family.
