Best food at Lake Tahoe. Very entree is fantastic. Great service. Just be prepared as it is a little pricey.

Food and service and ambiance was beautiful. Wonderful service and food. The filet was excellent as well as the seafood pasta and white chocolate ice cream!!!

10/10 experience. This restaurant is a hidden gem in the South Lake Tahoe area. Since this restaurant has only 5 tables inside and a few more outside, the reservation is a must, and moreover, it should be done 2 weeks in advance. Give them a call asap to reserve. We got lucky , it was Thursday night, and one spot for 8 pm table was available for us to book 24 hours ahead of time. The service is top notch with attentiveness, recommendations, and a personal approach. The ambiance is romantic, classy , and prompt to relax and enjoy. The wine list is extensive. A few beer selections are available if needed it. The food was outstanding. The aroma , the presentation, the freshness and taste are all something to remember and long for until next time. This restaurant is located off the main road , so you can't not know it unless you hear of it and are looking to try. I would say " locals favorite." We highly recommend this place .

Awesome date night spot sitting outside. The calamari and lobster pasta was on point. Super attentive staff made our dinner experience worthwhile. Definitely will be back next time I'm visiting South Lake Tahoe.

We ventured off from the Casino restaurants to find an Italian restaurant in South Lake Tahoe to find Cafe Fiore. I came with a friend who has Andiamo Italian restaurant in Clovis, CA to check out the menu and extensive wine list. The Service here is top shelf and multiple waiters are very attentive to your needs. We both ordered their daily special swordfish and it did not disappoint. Nice cut of fish that is moist and not dry or dense like swordfish can be but it was very light and flaky. Excellent flavor and comes with sides of vegetables and pasta. The white chocolate ice cream and poached pear were good dessert choices. The interior of the restaurant is very small so we ate on the covered patio and weather was nice.

This place was recommended to me by a long term local, and being a newbie local I was excited to try it. Overall I found it to be a real treat of an experience: good food, lovely intimate atmosphere and excellent service. Their wine list is a superstar; we had the best Prosecco we've ever tasted. Starting from the end, with dessert: the tiramisu was excellent. Again - one of the best ever. The white chocolate ice cream was tasty, but a little thick and one-dimensional; the Prosecco helped balance it. We each had salads (house w Gorgonzola and Caesar, which I have to admit weren't the kind of thing I'd come back for. But my partner loved the eggplant app and the capellini with marinara. I really enjoyed the Aragosta Melodia - lobster with mushrooms and garlic in a tarragon lemon sauce, which I requested over capellini rather than the linguine it's supposed to be paired with. The lobster was perfectly cooked, which is not necessarily common up here on the lake. The dish benefited from added salt & pepper but leftovers were amazing the next day, after the components had time to settle in together. The calamari was good; a huge portion for an app and not one of their superstars. One of the things we appreciate about Cafe Fiore was their outspoken - announced, even - willingness to adapt any dish to order. In a world where options and accommodations are dwindling, it's nice to be given carte blanche in the opposite direction. Because they allowed the pasta switch I spent more on a lobster dish than I would have on my second choice, the Cappelini meatball dish. And truly, the service is excellent. You can expect a pleasant, unique dining experience with attentive staff.

Had reservations for a friend's birthday at 8:30pm on a Friday, was greeted by Ed our server, who was very attentive and friendly. I'd never been here before but am happy I got the chance to try it out. This spot is quaint with half only a dozen tables! We ordered 2 of the specials and 2 other menu items. Each meal came with a soup or salad and of course garlic bread for the table. Highly recommend the minestrone very flavorful! We were all very satisfied with our meals, perfectly cooked. Ed brought out an ice cream for the birthday girl, thanks Ed!

After reading up on Cafe Fiore it seemed like the perfect spot for a romantic dinner for two. I called and made the reservation over the phone about a week in advance. I called to confirm the reservation the day before. There were blizzard conditions the day of the reservation, but we were staying at a hotel close by so we didn't have any issues getting there. Upon arrival the outside of Cafe Fiore looked so cozy and quaint. On the inside it was cozy indeed. The whole experience once we stepped into the restaurant was great from the service to the food. We shared lobster ravioli as an appetizer and then for my meal I had the chicken marsala and my wife had the fettuccine alfredo. The chicken marsala was great and it came with an accompaniment of vegetables and pasta. For dessert we picked the flourless chocolate cake which turned out to be the absolute correct choice.

Visited 12/29/23 The best food I've had in a very very long time. Cozy and cute place that have amazing staff and great food to accompany. I will definitely be back every time I'm in Tahoe. Also very reasonable prices.
