Fantastic rich Italian food. Sauce is a deep tomatoe recipe, not too sweet. Best to arrive early as they do not take reservations.

Terrible dinner, i have been here before and it was good, not so last weekend. The lasagne was a mush of cheese and meat sauce dumped on a plate, couldn't tell it was even lasagne. My friend's chicken milanese was tasteless, the server was unattentive....don't waste your time/money...also i wrote this review on their website and they deleted it.....hmmmMore
Service was fine and friendly, but the food is TERRIBLE! The Linguini was like a huge pile of cheap dried box pasta from Costco, the clam white sauce was junk, no elevation it was like someone went to Safeway and bought a bunch of bottles...of canned/bottled claims. Almost zero fresh garlic, not a hit of white wine, just an oversized pile of crummy, dry pasta. Pizza is a disaster - very "American" like a Topino Party Pizza from the frozen section except far to think. Nothing like a Neapolitan pizza which is the gold standard in Italy. The "Margherita" was a joke. This is not the Queen Margherita version it is the 7-11 version. Never EVER go here. If you want Pizza go to Jiffy. For this price-point it is a total FAIL!More
This is the best Home style Italian comfort food. The chicken parm dinner is incredible and the best we’ve had anywhere. If you want a light meal then you’ll be so happy with the minestrone soup and Italian salad (house made dressing is delicious!) We...love the friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff! They make you feel like you’re part of the family. This is a family owned business and you can feel the love from all the generations, especially when devouring Mammas recipes. Yummmmm!!!More
My son and I got take out chicken alfredo (2 meals) that came with bread & 1 salad with a tiny salad dressing container (1 container only for 2 people.....). The meal was $63!!! I find that really unbelievable...... The food was decent but I...do not think it was worth that money!!!More
We Love Lanza’s ! My favorite Italian restaurant at Lake Tahoe! Absolutely fabulous chicken parm, lasagna, angel hair pasta, and the pasta trio meal, etc. the portions are huge. The side salads are fabulous. We never come to Tahoe without stopping here…..it’s a must try...if you’ve never been here. Service was good, prices fair. One word: AWESOMEMore
Highly recommended for family non-pretentious Italian food. Huge portions good old school italian. Pricing is very good unlike a lot of other places in the area. Eggplant Parmesan will feed you for 3 days. Garlic bread,Salads very good.
I might be biased, as a teenager my mother was a waitress here. But Lanza's is a Lake Tahoe staple with a timeless menu and portions of ole. Show up hungry and leave full of great food and smiles.
Never been here before and I was impressed. The staff was great as was the food. There was a significant wait for the food but I was OK with that after seeing the amount of food that was prepared! Everyone left stuffed and still had...plenty to carry home for another few days of lunches at work!! Really good food, so glad we found it, no regrets for going to this restaurant.More
Very disappointing decided to eat at a bar table no servers just bartender to order with sat down with menus waited 20 minutes to order bartender was so focused on his stocking wine glasses he forgot us went to the bar to try to order...s He sent us back to the table he came shortly we ordered trey brought our salads and bread sat for another 5 minutes for silverware he nene looked at us so I had to go into the dining room to get silverware and napkins had to go to the bar to get more drinks a hour later we had to back to the bar to check on our food he when to check brought our food not good mine was not warm you can tell the food sat under the heat lamp in the kitchen for awhile finally got our food and the servers in the restaurant were doing shots at the bar and their voices so loud screaming what the heck we could not talk during the meal they finally left when back to the bar for boxes to to take home terrible service terrible food manager was useless was outside smoking most of the time not aware of his restaurant at all all this for a 80.00 dinner what a waste of dinner this is our go place sit at the f Same table what happened to the servers whose use to serve in that section trey bartender just did not cut it……..will not go back to many other restaurant in the Tahoe area soooooo dissappointedMore
loved it good customer service . the salad is 100 times better then olive gardens . I do recommend this restaurant.
Enjoyed a dinner here with a family party of eight. The portions are plentiful and the eggplant parma was excellent. Clam sauce linguini was good, spaghetti with red sauce was solid. Dinner salads were a little flimsy and the bread wasn't great, but the bottle...of wine we ordered with dinner paired well and we were largely happy. We will return!More
From the moment we walked in, we were greeted in a very friendly manner. The serving staff were also super friendly and attentive, which made the visit very pleasant. We ordered the spaghetti & meatballs and the veal marsala. The salad that came with our...dishes were fresh and the dressing is worthy of their bragging. We really enjoyed the salad. The bread they serve was hot and very good. Unfortunately, the veal marsala was a little tough. Normally, the veals should be very tender and juicy, but that wasn’t the case. Furthermore, the spaghetti seemed a bit undercooked, but the meatballs were really good. So the main dishes were a bit disappointing, but the friendliness of the staff would encourage us to give them a second chance if we’re in town again. We’ll try some other dishes next time. Would we recommend this place? Yes, we believe it’s worth a try.More
I love Lanzas ! It is my favorite place to get food while visiting north lake tahoe. If you are looking for a filling, inexpensive, large portion, delicious meal go to Lanzas!
Best authentic Italian on the north shore! Portions are huge and I love everything on the menu! They don’t take reservations and it is a popular spot so be prepared to wait in the bar area or outdoors. They offer takeout which is so nice!...The restaurant has been there for years so you know it’s a good local spot!More
