290 Kingsbury Grade, No. 22, Stateline, NV
Bruschetta believes fresh, local ingredients are the key to making quality Italian food, so this isn't your average pasta place.

The menu offers more than pasta, including filet mignon with pan-fried gnocchi with red wine jus and several vegetarian options. Located on Lower Kingsbury Grade, Bruschetta is convenient from most anywhere on the South Shore of Lake Tahoe.

Lake Tahoe Italian
4100 Lake Tahoe Boulevard, South Lake Tahoe, CA
One of the first of the fun and different restaurants to come to South Lake Tahoe with the redevelopment projects near the state line was FiRE + iCE Interactive Bar + Grill. The concept is that you choose your own components and sauces and the chef grills it all up right in front of you. It works very well with the Heavenly Village setting of whole-timber construction and patio fire pits. You can choose your ingredients along one of their four themes of Latin, American, Asian or Italian or create your very own blend. And the build-your-own model lets you control the meal, which is perfect for vegetarian diners. Be sure not to miss their grill lunch or dinner, both offered at one All You Can Eat price.

But if someone suggests having dinner and drinks at Cottonwood you’ll still aim for those neon lights. The Hilltop Lodge sign sits atop Cottonwood Restaurant & Bar, which is perched on one of California’s original ski hills...read more
