Lanza's Restaurant - Kings Beach, California

I personally enjoyed their calamari steak. It was unique to me, and the portion was huge with sautéed zucchinis and paste on the side. The beer was good, too, and the server brought it out right away. Simply, I was pleased with the service.
But my family did not impressed with the food at all. I see a few others talking about how disappointing the food was too, and my family agree.
It is difficult to review this time, but I’d like to say; “they need to clean the restaurant.”Dusty counter and sticky floor stopped us to go to the bathroom.

Best Italian in Tahoe. Old school, homemade classics. Chicken Parm is phenomenal. Tiramisu made in house. Delicious red sauce. Thank me later.

Lanza’s was the perfect place to escape the winter storm and enjoy a nice cozy dinner! The service was fantastic and very friendly. They brought out the water right away before sitting down, and offered free refills on my coffee! The tiramisu was delicious and probably some of the best I’ve ever had. The chicken parmesan and salad were also delicious! Definitely recommend and hope to be back

Home style Italian joint with really nice food and service and some great wine. Delicious complementary warm bread. I had spaghetti and meatballs. It was delicious and I took home enough for lunch the next day. Our vegetarian friend was very satisfied as well.

I believe a great restaurant experience starts and ends with the service, Heather was amazing!

Despite being incredible busy she was very attentive and helpful with our large group.

The food was solid (don’t go in expecting fancy) and the portions are enormous.

The atmosphere was cozy and classic with Italian American flare.

Fantastic Italian food in a classic old school style restaurant. Excellent servers and generous portions. Quite possibly the best tiramisu ever! No reservations available so come early and wait before opening to get a seat! We went with a large group and were seated outdoors under the trees…it was summer and this was fabulous!!

I would suggest getting there early for dinner as the place does fill up quick. But with the first bite you will realize why. We were quoted an hour wait and were invited to wait in the bar area. We quickly found a table and got comfortable. We ordered drinks and appetizers while we waited for a table. We thoroughly enjoyed the crostinis, the baked artichoke hearts and the cheesy garlic bread. We almost filled up before we even got to order our actual meal. Once our table was ready we were able to enjoy our actual dinner. The portions were good and full of flavor. This is some of the best Italian food we've ever had.

The best meal we have had on this trip! They start you off with a whole loaf of warm bread and butter! Then, offer a soup or salad with your entree. The food had so much flavor and cheese. The indoors was cute with a full bar. They open at 4:30 but don’t sear until 5pm. You can put your name on a list and then grab a drink. Come 5pm, they will come and get you. Many Italian options, so authentic with a great atmosphere!
