    Great place after a hike or a bike ride for a bite to eat or a cold beverage on the deck overlooking the meadow!

    Go for a hike or bike ride and then go have lunch- we hiked and then had the beet salad and housemade veggie burger.

    Pianeta was absolutely incredible from start to finish. We came in not really knowing what to…read moreorder, and our server, Almandine, completely made the experience. She gave us her recommendations, we trusted her, and she did not steer us wrong once! We started with the bruschetta, which was unreal. Everything tasted so fresh--the combination of the veggies and fruit with the pesto and cheese was literal perfection. Such a good balance of flavors. I had the Pasta Di Olio, and I genuinely cannot say enough good things about it. The pasta tasted incredibly fresh, the flavors were perfect, and the sausage crumble took it to another level. Simple, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. My boyfriend couldn't decide what to order, so Almandine surprised him with the ravioli bolognese--and she nailed it. He loved it. Rich, flavorful, and basically comfort food at its finest. We finished with the chocolate polenta pudding, which was the perfect ending to the meal. So good. Between the food, the atmosphere, and especially Almandine's service, we had such a great experience. She was warm, knowledgeable, and made ordering so much fun. We will absolutely be back the next time we're in Truckee!

    I had a great experience here. I work just down the street so it was great to check out something…read moreso close to me. Desiree my server, made me feel so comfortable and taken care of. I spoke with the chef and shared our love of learning so much in the Berkeley / Oakland area dining scene as chefs. We had some of the same inspirations and chefs. I felt I could really taste this in the sauce and within the depth of flavor in each bite. It's hard to find a place that makes everything from scratch. This place is one of those. I had a bruschetta and a great Duck 2 ways dish. Great flavor on all the dishes components. Real demi with my duck always an amazing treat. A very big thank you to Peter and my server Desiree. They were amazing and made sure I had a special dining experience in this beautiful space. I will be back!!!

    Thank God for a Winery here! We were visiting from Hawaii & didn't realize a blizzard was coming…read more We booked an experience outside & was waiting at Boreal Mountain for our reserved time, but what should have been 10 mins to the Winery, was going to take us 1 hour, because of the snowstorm! We immediately called to see if we could reschedule as we know we would be back. They said we could come another day. Yay! We decided to go back when there wasn't a blizzard. Lol. We also upgraded our experience from smores & fireplace outdoors, to a YURT! Best decision ever & it was our BEST winery experience ever! It was just perfect & magical! The yurt had 2 heaters, but we quickly turned one off. It wAs equipped with blankets & pillows! It was so cozy feeling. Our table was so nicely decorated, like out of a magazine! The experience came with a charcuterie board and 5 wine tastings. Everything was so good! Not a fan of White wine, but it's something about high elevation wineries...makes white taste yummy! Ambiance was cozy, without the cold snow! We absolutely loved everything about it & we are super happy we booked it! This is a must to visit in Truckee!

    Beautiful patio, friendly staff, and a great spot to spend an afternoon. Even have dog water bowls…read moreto keep your furry friends happy too! They had lawn games and a variety of seating. They do have bento charcuterie boxes for purchase, but we had lunch plans already and didn't get them. If you're in the area, stop by and have a slow afternoon!
