This is indeed a tiny restaurant with very good but not outstanding service. However, the kitchen definitely makes up for any deficiencies. The crusted rack of lamb was incredible. I can honestly say that I have never had a better lamb dish anywhere. My husband was equally pleased with his entrée. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the... more

Enjoyed a very relaxing and wonderful dinner the last night of our ski trip at Cafe Fiore. Everything was wonderful. The lamb was probably the best I've ever had. Nice wine selection. more

Very attentive staff with a great style, small and cosy restaurant will... more

I made reservations at Cafe Fiore for my husband and I to celebrate our 2 year anniversary. We travel to South Lake Tahoe,CA pretty frequently.. I was looking on Tripadvisor to find a good restaurant. After reading the reviews I knew it was the perfect place. We had the most romantic dinner of our lives. The place had only 7... more

What a terrible experience. We had a reservation for 8:15 and they finally sat us at 8:50. We had to wait in the lounge in a restaurant next door. We should have stayed and eaten there instead. romantic restaurant I don't think so untless you want to watch someone at a cash register for the whole time you eat. Food... more

My fiancée and I dined at Café Fiore our first night at Tahoe, and thought it was an excellent start to our vacation. The ambiance is quaint and cozy, with a tiny dining room. The staff was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful without being overbearing. We had an eggplant and smoked salmon appetizer with tomato basil sauce; the veal piccata;... more

I would have highly recommended this great Italian restaurant while traveling in Tahoe ---but do not ask for a meatball as a side appetizer. They are deep fried--- but I was appalled that the not so typical meatball was $6.95 for ONE little 2" meatball. I was not informed until the bill arrived. The waitress mentioned that the cook was... more

My wife and I dined at Cafe Fiore on 9/16/08 and had a great experience. The restaurant is very cozy and decorated in a wine theme that speaks to the great wine list that has many selections by the glass, half and full bottles, a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence recipient I believe. We had read reviews of Cafe Fiore... more
