CAFÉ FIORE

After reading several good words about the Café fiero-S. Lake Tahoe, we made a reservation (07/31). As all said in their reviews it is in a very small setting, tables are close each other more than you wish to be. We were seated front of the restroom. Practically, I was seeing the people going in and out. They should not put a table in that location where was the worst in the room. The best seat must be reserved for a guest who made the reservation several days before the time. Let others who dropped in the last min sit in front of the rest room or place a Japanese Separator front of this WC door.

The food introduction was good and plenty; the service was also good. The server lady never left us without water etc but not friendly with us. Yet, I did not give two stars for that, my two stars go to the location of our table. Also, some guests got way more attention by the servers than others. An explanation from the restaurant manager/owner will save my speculation, please.

Food was excellent!! Base on server's recommendation, my husband and I got sword fish which was the best we have ever had; specifically capers present a very blended taste.

The bill was over than the expectation we simply paid $175 to this dinner without any desert or drink!! I recommend this restaurant to all who like Italian and good food.

Quaint authenic Italian resturant with impeccable service. Large selection on menu and impressive wine presentation. Great for getting away from the fast pace dining settings and be good to yourself .

I had previously been here 2 years ago, and the service was exemplary. Not sure what changed, but I will never come back. My friend and I tried to order a drink on the patio at 8:30pm on a Saturday night. They were busy inside but nobody was outside. We asked if we could simply order a glass of wine, pay, and sit outside on the empty patio where there was a bonfire set up for a seemingly cosy atmosphere. We were told that was not possible because they "were too busy and that would have taken up another table." We again politely explained we did not need follow-up service and simply wanted to pay for a drink. They said no. We were denied service there for absolutely no obvious reason. I would never recommend this restaurant in the future because of my experience tonight. To put it simply, we wanted to give your business money, and we were refused.

A small place and you need a reservation to be seated. We did not have one. But the host tried to accommodate us, at a much later time due to cancellation. Appreciated the extra effort. May be next time, we’ll make a reservation

Elegant atmosphere with great staff members. We took recommended menus for the day (e.g. fish), all of them were really delicious! Definitely will revisit.
