Love it

Wonderful experience and delicious food. The atmosphere is perfectly Italian and the staff and chef were friendly, responsive, and funny.

Absolutely phenomenal! Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

Ivano's is by far my favorite place to eat in south lake Tahoe and one of the best restaurants I've been to period. I've been looking forward to coming back here after some time away and I'm extremely saddened to hear the passing of Ivano. RIP Ivano :( I'm going to miss your restaurant, your cooking, and your company..

I was very clear when ordering last night that I am lactose intolerant, and I wanted my meal to be prepared without any dairy. Our waitress Bambi, asked me if I wanted ranch dressing on my salad after I told her that I was lactose intolerant which indicates that she didn't really understand that I was lactose intolerant. When the meal came, it looked like there was butter on top, I asked her about this and she went back to check and then assured me that the meal was dairy-free. Ivano himself even came out and assured me that there was no dairy in the meal. I should have trusted my intuition as they're definitely was dairy and I was sick because of it. Not to mention, we were waiting for our food for nearly an hour. I will not be going back to ivano's!

Loved this restaurant and its owner. Delicious food and beautiful paintings to gaze at...was like being in an art gallery. Ivano was friendly and warm-hearted and told us his mother and friend were the artists who painted those paintings. Despite being the only one working that night, he still spent time talking to us.

We had our annual Christmas party for our Employees Saturday night. Everything was wonderful! Ivano and staff gave us top notch service. You must try the antipasto platter! The Chicken Marsala is oh so delicious and the garlic bread is to die for. Ivano’s Mama makes the best Tiramisu! You simply must try Ivanos.
