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
Arrived early for dinner, popular spot for the locals. Had a glass a wine while waiting for table. Good salad, large portions of food, good service. Great Tiramisu.
Arrived with a large party of 7 people. They do not take reservations, but we were seated pretty quickly. The food and service were great! Enjoyed the meals and the wine.
Great food at this old feel Italian Restaurant. The food is priced well and they have a full bar. I had their signature dish and it was wonderful.
My wife's family started coming here back when Mama Lanza was still running the place many years ago. My family continues to come whenever we visit North Shore. This place has a classic Italian Restaurant vibe, large portions and we have always had good service....The house salads are very good, we always buy a bottle or two of their dressing to take with us.More
We were staying nearby and met up with my nephew and his girlfriend here for dinner. The food was very good, nice large portions and we didn't have to wait very long either. It felt like having a home cooked meal at your Italian friend's...house - not fancy, just really good food in a comfortable setting.More
This is a great old school Italian restaurant. The interior is warm and cozy despite the current plastic sheeting between booths due to COVID. They have all the classic meals here. Excellent veal parmesan. We had enough left over from our meals for the next...day. They also serve a nice variety of wines and beersMore
We happen onto this restaurant by chance. I would recommend this eatery. Large portions so you could share. We noticed many" locals" enjoying the food and atmosphere. Very friendly staff and good service. We will come back when we ate in the area.
