Thin crust is the way I like my pizza and Nu Yalk hits the mark. The draft beer selection is good. Great local place.

johnniesmith69 wrote about Peony Chinese Cuisine
I don't know why people rave about this overrated restaurant. Sure the decor is very pretty, but the food is bland, small portions. Don't expect to be full by the end of the meal. Lousy food value. Service is nothing special. Plates are big, food is small bits. They try to look like PF Chang. Maybe the portion is small because the food is nothing special anyway. Didn't try the sushi bar. No seat.

Archie's has some great burgers. I had the BBQ sauce one, I think it is called The Western or something, and it was amazing. A good, inexpensive BBQ sauce burger seems hard to find in Reno but Archie's has got it. The waitresses are really helpful. They have a good attitude as well that is sure to brighten up your Archie's experience.

I really love Cafe de Thai. My family and I have been going there for years. Food is always excellent we really enjoy the specials. Sometimes we don't even look at the menu and just order the specials. Very good flavor and fresh.The desserts are exotic and delicious. I like the design of the building as well .Very modern and clean looking.
KaraV commented on Review: Nam Van's best is bubbles
Wow, Johnathan really rips em on this one! Ok, he found a few nice things to say in an overwhelming negative review. He does seem to know is stuff when it comes to the asian food scene. I hope this restaurant takes some of his comments to heart and improves their product. I think I will wait a few months before I visit this place.
KaraV wrote about Cadillac Ranch
My experience here was in the afternoon on a Friday, so it might be different at 1AM Sunday morning. Yep, the place was empty. I already ate at Fudd's across the way. I thought the place would be bigger, but it may seem that way when the place is packed. I saw the bull....been there done that...anybody remember The Saddlerack in San Jose? Thats what I was picturing this place to be. Cadillac Ranch was the name of a CW bar in Concord, a suburb in the Bay Area. This place is nothing like that. Very much the chain look...I can't describe what it is that makes that look, but I know it when I see it. Menu looked like Outback Steakhouse goes country. Multiple bars inside for those wild nights I suppose. I asked what kind of music the DJ played and was told mostly hip hop...HIP HOP? OK..in a bar with a country sounding name, a mechanical bull and patronized mostly by white people....I guess I'm not in Oakland anymore with real gangsters at the clubs. But they do have country on Tuesday's...slow night I guess. I was hoping for a real rippin cowboy bar...belt buckle polishin' slow dancin an all...mico brews? whats that? I may have to come here at night to check out the scene. The fake blondini (me real) at the door said they party tll 4am and start round 10:30. Maybe I'll have to take a nap to come here!
KaraV commented on Review: Bustling Jack's doesn't impress
Wow, after reading Laura's review here, I really don't think I'd ever want to even try this place. After reading the review I'm surprised it got as many stars as it did.
Marshal wrote about Formaggio Gourmet Pizzeria
After seeing Formaggio featured on Dave’s Diner we thought we would give it a try. Are we glad we did. I can’t say enough about how good it was. Fantastic pizza and friendly atmosphere. Even though there were only 3 people working and a party of 20-25 people in the other room we had great service and weren’t neglected. We have already referred it to friends and will definitely return.
RandyAndChris wrote about Formaggio Gourmet Pizzeria
When our good friends Michael & Cathy told us they bought a pizza restaurant we got excited. Having eaten in their home we knew what excellent cooks they were and we knew we wouldn’t have to settle for good pizza any more. We knew that Reno would finally have great pizza. We weren’t alone in our opinion. The “Guru of the Goodlife” Dave Preston said nobody in town even comes close and that he wanted to create his own pizza and put his name on it. They have a wide variety of delicious and unique specialty pizzas including Preston’s Pie. Everything is fresh and homemade and the crust isn’t just something to hold the toppings they add Italian seasonings and garlic to it to make it something delicious. They serve wonderful salads (Dave is still trying to find out Cathy’s secret for her Caesar Salad that he says is fit for the gods), tasty sandwiches and even serve homemade New York style cheesecake. Give Formaggio a try it could be the best pizza you have ever had.

I have tried this place twice and have been satisfied both times. I would recommend to anybody looking for a good quick meal. I had the top sirloin medium well both times.

bugmeaton wrote about Bella Italia Delicatessen and Gifts
Bella Italia is operated in true Italian style. Don't expect some young college-aged waiter jumping through hoops to annoy the hell out of you trying to earn a tip or upsell food like what you get at some Americanized-restaurants (*cough*Olive Garden*cough*)! You won't find that here! Instead you'll find great service, great food, and great prices. Bella Italia has freshly made raviolis, home made sauces, fresh mozzarella, tasty proscuitto, and an awesome owner who knows how to deliver quality. The prices are truly competative, you'll get significantly better quality ingredients for prices that knock the socks off the competition. My significant other and I try to go at least once a week and we almost always finish the meal with their AMAZING Tiramisu! Don't be afraid to buy a bottle of premium imported olive oil or truffle oil. They also have some wonderful Italian treats you'll probably love! The owner's name is Giuseppe Zappala and chances are you'll see him if you're dining after 5pm. I give Bella Italia a 5 stars... some of the best authentic food in Reno! Thanks Giuseppe! - Ben
Layton wrote about Nik-n-Willies
Simply fantastic pizza that distinguishes itself from your standard chain pizza. Their red sauce is certainly not plain...and perhaps a bit spicy for some (suggestion: if you don't like thick & spicy sauce, ask for thin sauce). Their white sauce has a cream cheese base, which is out of this world! Don't miss out on their specialty pizzas (my favorite is white sauce, basil, Canadian bacon, garlic, and tomatoes), their meatball subs, or their hearty salads. This is a gourmet pizza that competes with the best of them.
KaraV wrote about Blind Onion Pizza & Pub
I heard lot of good things about this place, but alas it was not to be. Now I'm not going to complare a place like this to say 5 buck pizza or anytyhing along those lines. Thats junk pizza for feeding children. I'm comparing to other gourmet pizza places we have here in town. The crust for me was too doughy and thick on the edges. The crust can be thick on the edge but I like it to be crispyer not like a ring of bread. Honey with pizza, I can take it or leave it, mostly leave it. Toppings are always a personal thing so get what you want. Mine came a little thin on the toppings....saving money eh? Prices seemed on the high side but looking at the prices of my fav pizza place (Brugo's), maybe not out of line comparatively speaking. Good pizza ls getting to be just for rich people! You can try this place , but its not for me.
lizfromtx wrote about Thai Recipe
THIS IS A MUST MISS FOR VISITORS AND LOCALS ALIKE!! The restaurant was nearly deserted on a Saturday night; I should have taken this as an omen! When we got our food it was shockingly bland. Thank goodness we had chili sauce on the table, b/c without it the food tasted like boiled cardboard. This was no surprise, though, since our food arrived within 5 minutes of ordering. They more than likely just pulled the food out of a pot of boiling food and slapped it on a plate. That is certainly all they had time for! I would have waited 30 more minutes for decent food!! Although there were only two drinks and two entrees they couldn't manage to get our order right. This was strange b/c they did write it down. Asking politely twice to get the correct food was met with bad attitudes and a bowl of boiled veggies. Still, not our order. At this point we gave up paid and left. What a waste of a lovely evening in beautiful Lake Tahoe!!! I am just glad I didn't get food poisoning. That is the most positive thing I can say about the experience. Unless you've been missing in the mountains for weeks and are desperate, avoid this place like the plague!!!!
jnitro wrote about David's Grill at Red Hawk
Food is generaly good, but service is inconsistent. When having dinner, you'll often have to walk up to the bar and order another drink if you want one. They seem to get so engrossed in conversations that they forget about the customers...Get ready to pay $7 for a glass of house wine.
JerryMHanson wrote about Cafe de Thai
Extremely overpriced food for the quality, cold wait staff, and cafeteria-like loud setting even though the place is never full. Don't go unless prepared to spend 16 dollars on average pad thai etc.
JerryMHanson wrote about Cafe de Thai
I mean you serve food in a glorified cafeteria...and you're rude....and slow....and the food's ok but for 15-25 dollars/plate? Get real. Takes a lot to piss a guy like me off. Now Thai Lotus, that's my spot. Sweet serving staff, great, unpretentious, good stuff.
matika wrote about Pizza Plus
I usually order for delivery. Good pizza, good fries, GREAT wings and thier ranch dressing is the best i've ever tasted. The only thing that I don't like about Pizza Plus is that they do not take checks, so you have to give them your debit card number over the phone (Makes me a little nervous). I always tip the driver with cash and never put a tip on my debit card. Well, the next day when I check my bank account, they always take out more than I authorized, to allow for a tip, usually about $10.00 more. The charge always drops off in 3 or 4 days, but it is very upsetting that they charge my account more than I have authorized!!!! This should be against the law in my opinion. But I do like thier food, and when I order from them I always make sure I have enough in my account to cover the extra money they take so that my account doesn't overdraft.
KaraV wrote about Shang Hai Chinese Restaurant
OMG! that poor girl and her wedding dinner!...OK here's my viewpoint: This has got to be about the worst Chinese restaurant in Sparks. The place doesn't look too bad, I guess they had to fix it after the fire a while back. But the food is just the same westernized chinese slop that so many other places serve. You know, deep fried meat candy nuggets with various sweet sauces. But even these are not any good. We got the sasame beef and the meat was all over cooked and dried. Service was surley as usual. I have given the place 3 tries and no more. I think the people the give this place a high rating are just used to it and have been going for a long time just out of habit. This place was reccommended by just such a person...going there for years...family loves it....I had to tell her...it was bad. Now I have her converted to China East on Virgina in Reno.
KaraV wrote about The Lodge At Galena
Decided to come back on a Sat. cause BF wanted to get the special all you can eat BBQ baby back ribs. They do the BBQ just on Sat. during the summer. Well we missed the happy hour by minutes, but hey I guess I didn't really need those potato skins all smothered on cheese topped with all that bacon. BBQ rib special was $19.99 and was worth it. BF devoured what I guess he says would be equal to 1 and a half full racks. I tasted them and actually were really tasty. Me on the other hand had a fiesta salad, one of those psuedo mexican flavored entree salads. Service was attentive sitting out on the deck. Out door dining will be coming to an end here soon....too cold and too dark.
larrysmed wrote about Z Bistro
After visiting this place on three occasions, I simply must warn others of the shortcomings. The waitress is beyond unfriendly....... she is completely hostile....so who tied her knickers in a knot? The little frenchy chef is her purported husband and offers absolutely no improvement in social graces. The food is very, very ordinary at extraordinary prices. The best advice I can give is to go to Adele's (a good place) ... or even Burger King (you know that place) ... but definitely not Z Bistro.'
