Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Reno

After reading very positive reviews from food critics, I was still skeptical about casino dining. But I know Chef Holman is dedicated to making great food and it appears management has given him the slack he needs to execute his vision. After a few recommendations from the staff, we settled on the Cioppino and the nightly special. Both were excellent and both were generous portions. We also started with the tuna crudo and sampled the flourless chocolate torte but, sadly, were too full to finish it. True to its moniker, the wine list is made up of primarily California wines. These tend to be very fruit-forward expressions and are generally higher in alcohol. If I could change anything, it would be to fill in some of the wine list with acid and mineral driven wines that complement the dishes. But I also understand that they want to stock wine people order frequently. The staff was great. Despite being very busy, they took time to explain dishes, make recommendations and even make jokes with me. Oh, and plan to spend a couple of hours. This is not a casual meal for people in a hurry.

La Strada has become one of our local favorites, and for good reason—it serves some of the best pasta dishes on earth. As someone raised in an Italian American family from Chicago, I can say the flavors here are authentic and unforgettable. We recently celebrated my wife’s birthday, and the lamb chops were absolutely incredible. Perfect atmosphere, amazing food, and always a memorable experience! Highly recommend. Bravo from the Venturas!

This wonderful restaurant is our go-to before events at the Pioneer Center and we’re never disappointed. The food is delicious and the service always keeps the event schedule in mind in a subtle way.

Everything was top notch from the moment we stepped in. Our server Jeremy was excellent; so friendly, outgoing, and had great recommendations. All support staff was outstanding as well. Ok now about the food...we started with the oysters...wow! They were from B.C. and were perhaps the creamiest, most buttery oysters we've ever had. They were not large oysters, but packed full of flavor and wonderful texture. We had the crispy eggplant as a side and we were so surprised by this dish. Unexpectedly amazing. Lightly battered small chunks...fried to delicate perfection! For our main dishes, we had the crispy salmon (crispy was an understatement...perfectly moist and tender with amazing crisp skin topper) and Chef Ramsey's specialty, Beef Wellington. As expected, it was perfection...literally melt in your mouth goodness. Highly recommend, this experience was fantastic!

Our server was top notch, and the psalm was professional very knowledgeable really knew his wines ambience and the food. Excellent we were pleasantly surprised.
