The food was excellent. We ordered the chef special( halibut), pork chop and the Risotto. No pictures are necessary. The one already published talk by itself.

This was my second time at Pianeta, and I absolutely loved it. Reservations can be hard to get on short notice, but I recommend constantly checking their reservation system for cancelations.

Great spot for a date night! Tried the Ravioli and the Olio Pasta, both were fantastic! Hard to pick a favorite because they are so different, but I recommend getting the Olio pasta with added sausage. Love that the pasta is made in house, you can really taste the difference. The service here is also great, thank you Katie for being so inviting!

Hands down the best restaurant in Truckee. Delicious food and drinks, stellar service, fun times at the bar. The staff genuinely cares about doing their absolute best and taking care of the guests. Make sure you book a reservation or get there early for a seat at the bar (my preference).

We got here 20 minutes before opening and there was already a line. We luckily were early enough in line that we got a seat at the bar. The food was amazing. We had the antipasti misto, the Robyn salad, the soup of the day (something with bread in it? quite unique), plus a ravioli from the specials and another pasta dish. We enjoyed it all and would have stayed for dessert but a snowstorm was expected so we reluctantly left. The cocktails were creative and delicious. The bartender really knew what she was doing as we were able to tell her what we liked and she customized drinks for us. At the beginning we did feel like we were ignored initially as the bartenders were more interested in serving their regular patrons before us. Overall we’d happily dine here again.

If you are looking for a fantastic meal for a special occasion this is the place! The ambience is great for a date or family gathering. The wine selection is extensive and the appetizers are very tasty. The staff is very cheery and the food well prepared. I suggest getting the veal meatballs.

Great experience. Staff was lovely. I didn’t like the wine by the glass but that’s not on them. It’s expensive but in a mountain town it makes sense. The quality of the food product felt farm to table. I was especially impressed with the Chicken Marsala. Although the pasta was a bit bland it was well cooked.

Best Italian food in Tahoe. You will likely want to make a reservation, even mid week. If you fail to you can usually get a spot at the bar. Regardless you will find nightly specials and proper drinks. I prefer to enjoy multiple courses and stay for at least 1.5 to 2 hours to get the full experience.

The food here is delicious and well executed (and the ambiance is especially cozy on a cold night). Not ordering any of their pasta options would be a mistake. Their wine list is not limited to but has a well-rounded selection of Italian options. This is one of my favorite places to eat whenever I’m in Truckee. You don’t want to miss this spot whether it’s a casual dinner out or a romantic date night.
