2023-06-13 15:57:29The BEST restaurant in south lake tahoe. We tried multiple restaurants in town and generally their impressions were good but this Cafe Fiore nailed it. Their filet minon is a must-try, the best steak Ive had for medium-well. So tender and juicy. I loved their other dishes and desserts. Personally Izabella is better for Garlic bread because their red sauce is so good. But others are better at Cafe Fiore. The servers...what can I tell? They are on top of all things and made our time so luxurious and enjoyable. I realized they left me THREE voice messages on the day of reservation but I guess its overkill, even though its needed for they only have limited tables. Other than that, yes I highly highly recommend you try this place. Book in advance!

2023-06-22 17:39:00Not only is the food always great but the people are so accommodating and wonderful. Also lots of great art work for sale at crazy low prices. Extensive wine list.Update: We had the opportunity to go back last night 6/21/23. Great experience! The Ravioli appetizer was crazy good. You could hear people through out the restaurant exclaiming how good it was. The Swordfish was the star of the meal. I am a fish eater who usually does not do a meaty fish. The swordfish was soft and delicate.

2023-02-01 01:20:13A very nice and cozy place for a romantic date. The hospitality here was the best I’ve seen. They have great authentic Italian food with a good selection of wines and plenty of vegetarian options. Since they make every dish to order, they allow you to customize everything the way you like.Would recommend reserving a table well in advance as there are only 7 tables here.The portion sizes are very good and one pasta dish was enough for the two of us. The desserts are a must try

2023-11-12 21:53:42After reading several good words about the Café fiero-S. Lake Tahoe, we made a reservation (07/31). As all said in their reviews it is in a very small setting, tables are close each other more than you wish to be. We were seated front of the restroom. Practically, I was seeing the people going in and out. They should not put a table in that location where was the worst in the room. The best seat must be reserved for a guest who made the reservation several days before the time. Let others who dropped in the last min sit in front of the rest room or place a Japanese Separator front of this WC door.The food introduction was good and plenty; the service was also good. The server lady never left us without water etc but not friendly with us. Yet, I did not give two stars for that, my two stars go to the location of our table. Also, some guests got way more attention by the servers than others. An explanation from the restaurant manager/owner will save my speculation, please.Food was excellent!! Base on servers recommendation, my husband and I got sword fish which was the best we have ever had; specifically capers present a very blended taste.The bill was over than the expectation we simply paid $175 to this dinner without any desert or drink!! I recommend this restaurant to all who like Italian and good food.

2023-09-21 19:04:23My girlfriend and I celebrated her birthday at Cafe Fiore two days ago, and we both enjoyed the experience. Our server, John, was polite and attentive, yet not overbearing. He even presented a complimentary dessert for my girlfriend after we decided we were full, especially from eating two hours before. I rarely tip, but I left a decent tip because Johns catering added value to our experience. The outdoor patio had a nice ambiance that my girlfriend particularly enjoyed. Cafe Fiore has a couple of vegan options, too, and is willing to accommodate. Highly recommend for a formal dining experience in Tahoe.

2023-03-16 13:11:33The most intimate and charming restaurant in America. The food is amazing, the service is impeccable, and the ambiance is second to none. Hands down the best restaurant this world traveler has ever had the pleasure of visiting... and its here in South Lake. 5 stars all day long.

2023-09-02 16:41:50So glad we got to try Cafe Fiore during our trip to SLT! Its a tiny place and we were worried the weather would cancel our dinner but they were able to accommodate us on the patio. The food was outstanding (the garlic bread, the eggplant, the steak, the pasta!). The wine list was extensive and our bottle excellent. The staff and service were great. They were a lot of fun and really helpful. Cafe Fiore 10/10

2023-10-15 03:54:49I had previously been here 2 years ago, and the service was exemplary. Not sure what changed, but I will never come back. My friend and I tried to order a drink on the patio at 8:30pm on a Saturday night. They were busy inside but nobody was outside. We asked if we could simply order a glass of wine, pay, and sit outside on the empty patio where there was a bonfire set up for a seemingly cosy atmosphere. We were told that was not possible because they were too busy and that would have taken up another table. We again politely explained we did not need follow-up service and simply wanted to pay for a drink. They said no. We were denied service there for absolutely no obvious reason. I would never recommend this restaurant in the future because of my experience tonight. To put it simply, we wanted to give your business money, and we were refused.
