Once the kitchen opened at 5 PM, we ordered the Pork Cracklins appetizer, Ruby Wedge salad (delicious house made blue cheese dressing and lardons), the Bone-in Prime Rib dinner (thick cut, tender, flavorful), and the Basque Pasta with Chorizo and Mussels (Basque chorizo, plus lots of succulent mussels). Entree's are big enough portions to share with plenty to spare. By the time we finished our meal, the restaurant and bar were packed with mostly locals. Great atmosphere. Epic service.

May 2026 Elko, N…read more Hmmmmm . . . 3.0 stars. Here is why. Arrived a little after 5 pm on a Friday. Two tables were already sitting. The hostess sat us in a separate room from the main dining room. It was hit brightly by the sun and felt like a second thought of leftover dining. Asked if we could sit in main dining room and she obliged. We asked about the menu and took time to review it. After some time we ordered. My husband had the chicken Alfredo and I ordered the PASTA MILANO which is described as: Chicken, Tomatoes, Mushrooms in a Roasted Garlic Cream Sauce over Penne Pasta. Sounds good right? It could have been good. But it was not. First of all, I never got chicken in the dish. The mushrooms were diced and very few in the dish. The only thing they got right was the tomatoes. I called the waitress over and told her that my dish had no chicken in it. She said well do you want some? I smiled and said well that's what the dish was supposed to come with. So I waited. Then I decided to go ahead and start eating my food because seven minutes went by and I still have no chicken. When the dish was originally served,, I asked the waitress for Parmesan cheese. She said we don't have Parmesan cheese, but we have black pepper. Huh???? of course you have Parmesan cheese. I have it on my Caesar salad. I really don't think she knew what Parmesan cheese was. I just shrugged my shoulders and took a bite of my food. Again, great concept. But the food had NO flavor. I added salt and pepper. Still nothing. I took the balsamic vinegar that was on the table and added it to the dish. There, I finally had flavor in my meal. But still no chicken. Finally, another waitress brings out a plate of squiggly worm like meat. She said, did somebody order chicken at this table? I was disgusted. First of all, it was not pleasant to see it look like that. Also, you should've offered to remake my meal, or at least take it back and mix it with the chicken. But to make me wait until my dishes is half gone and then bring over a plate of chicken is a poor decision. The chicken fettuccine had a good flavor. But the chicken was tough. Hard to chew. Not good flavor. I ordered a n/a Heineken. She brought it in a glass to the table. It was already poured so I don't know if I truly got what I ordered. Also the glass was too large for the amount of beer that was in it. Makes it look like it was half a drink. The waitress was kind, but we did not see much of her. She never offered to refill our bread basket. According to the menu, you get two baskets of bread and then if you want more you have to pay. We only got one basket of bread and never offered anymore. I was looking forward to some good pasta, and this restaurant did not deliver. Very disappointed in the service, and most definitely the food. The waitress took five dollars off of our meal, but she never explained why she did it or why she decided to take that amount of money. She never apologized for my dish, not having any protein, she never apologized for any thing. Management needs to teach staff that they can take ownership of the situation. It is OK to say you are sorry that the chicken was not put in your dish. Let's see what we can do to make it right. That would have gone so far. Instead, it left my attitude about this place as tough as the chicken in the fettuccine was.

We visited Luciano's today and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience…read more The service was poor from the moment we arrived. The server was rude and unwelcoming. We ordered pasta, but it was of very poor quality--it had an unpleasant smell and was not enjoyable to eat. We ended up leaving most of our food untouched. What was even more disappointing was that no one asked why we had barely eaten our meal or whether there was anything they could do to make it right. At the end of the meal, the server simply tossed our credit card onto the table, which felt disrespectful and unprofessional. Good service earns good tips, but with the combination of poor food quality and discourteous service, this was one of the worst dining experiences we've had. We hope the management takes customer feedback seriously and works on improving both the food quality and customer service.

The Sicilian sandwich was amazing; Sandra - the sandwich maker - is an artist. The owners, Carolyn (or Caroline?), and her husband were great, and everyone there is super-friendly. They want you to be satisfied with your meal, and that includes the food itself, the ambience, and the character of the employees. From my experience, all 10s. Come hungry. Leave happy.

I asked the girl to give me a side of the horseradish aioli and a side of au jus. My friend order the Philly as well with garlic fries and she also ordered the cranberry pecan salad. I know this was close to $80. I was not able to eat much and decided to take it home. After getting home I realized there was no onions on my sandwich and I had the garlic fries which I had to send back as they were cold. I thought those came with the sandwich. They also gave me straight out of the container horseradish! So my friend told me when she got her order home there were no fries, that is because they ended up on my order. There was such a small amount of meat on the sandwich for $14 not to include the extra charge for the au jus and the garlic aioli I didn't get. We'll we go back? No!

From the lighthearted good energy country decor with bright color mixed with softer grays, there were things like bicycle on wall greeting us with the purpose of dreez. "FOOD " with the bike wheels forming the OO's, a cute family portrait of the namesake of this cafe, Dreez and a sign promoting strawberry lemonade mimosas! Next our server gave us a warm welcome and helped make decisions that involved a food sensitivity. And I haven't even got to the yummy food yet. My husband had the smaller of the two complete American breakfasts offered and it was quite a generous portion. A highlight was the sausage patties. I chose the half and half Benedict which was perfect because I couldn't decide between the two. I selected that one while still looking at the yelp app in my hotel room and it did not disappoint! Each half was huge. And the presentation was beautiful too. Wish I'd taken a picture! A specialty of Dreez' is the chili infused hash browns. They were great and full of flavor and had a delightful mouth feel. A bit of light crispy and just enough creaminess from the cheese and cream in them for balance. Though our super sweet and friendly server did tastefully warn against having them four days in a row for comfort sake, they were not overly spicy. Great flavors! Don't hesitate to eat here when in Elko, Nevada.

I ordered their Greek Goddess omelet, which traditionally comes with sausage, but I subbed in shrimp instead and WOW this is my new favorite omelet! The combination of the feta, sundried tomatoes, and pesto delivered a lot zest and flavor in each bite. Please keep this item on the menu forever! I opted for a side of the country potatoes with my omelet, and was disappointed when they came out covered in bacon and cheese, as nowhere on the menu did it say they came with bacon and cheese. Just a small inconvenience, and it won't change the fact that this is our new go-to breakfast spot when we pass through again in the future.

My husband got the French dip and also didn't like it. Said it also had no flavor and was over cooked. The fries were hard as a rock and came in a grease puddle. Must have been the last fries of the bunch before new ones were made but how did the kitchen feel comfortable sending them out they were horrid.... We also got the kids Mac, the kids meals do come with a lot of food so that was nice.

I got the chicken kabob and my husband had the chicken shawarma. Both were packed with incredible flavor and super satisfying! We couldn't resist grabbing the baklava and a slice of Dubai cheesecake for dessert, and both were fantastic. The restaurant was clean, and the team was welcoming. They quoted us a 20-minute wait, but our food was ready even faster. A quick note for management: We took our meal to a nearby dog park and realized we weren't packed any utensils or napkins. Since a lot of road trippers stop by, having forks and napkins in to-go bags automatically would be a huge help! (Had to get creative as you can see in the photo ). Overall, delicious food and great service!Just remember to double-check for utensils before heading out!

Overall the food is good, the price is reasonable, but the service needs to be improved.

The person on the phone was very polite and asked me a few questions like what sides. The place was pretty full when I got there, however, I was able to get my food quickly and the weight staff were very jovial and friendly. What we ordered: tri-tip French dip (selected potatoes for side) a chicken ciabatta sandwich (salad with vinaigrette Everything was packaged nicely. The girl asked if I wanted ranch dressing for the potatoes and I thought why not. My wife really loved the chicken sandwich and the flavor of the tri-tip sandwich was really good however I think for $20 , it could've had some more beef in it. There was only one layer about 1 inch thick. But for quality and flavor, it was perfect. The potatoes that came with it or red potatoes that were quite tender and covered in some kind of crumbs. Not quite sure what they were, kinda like toasted Panko. The potatoes were not fried with this, it was just covering all the potatoes. At first, I was not thrilled about this, but as I started eating them... I became a fan! That's the only way I could describe the breadcrumbs/topping on the potatoes lol. We enjoyed our picnic up in the mountains, partially due to the great food we took with from here

I saw good reviews and decided to stop in for breakfast while on a work trip, and was surprised to find that every single thing about my visit was perfect. Location is convenient, just off Idaho Street in Elko, but parking was easy. Inside of the restaurant is clean and stylish, and very welcoming, as were all of the waitresses. Service was exceptionally fast and friendly, the coffee was fresh and hot. They technically don't have a traditional breakfast type plate on the menu, most of their items seem to be more like breakfast sandwiches or wraps, but the waitress was quick to let me know that they would be happy to make a normal breakfast plate. It's hard to pick a favorite part because both the breakfast potatoes and the raspberry jam we're probably the best I've ever had. I expected the jam to come out in the usual disposable plastic tub, but instead it came out and appeared to be homemade. If they sold it I would have bought some of that on the side to go. Potatoes had just the right amount of savory crunch on the outside, but were soft and creamy on the inside. When I lived in the area before I felt like there never were any great breakfast options in Elko, but I can definitely say that this place will not disappoint. I'll be back for sure!

I told her she shouldn't have served it then and I don't think I should be charged for it. She grabbed ticket irritated and said ok, then walked off. Sad, because I wanted to like this family owned quaint little breakfast place. Unfortunately, I went by all the good reviews and what a disappointment. Will not be coming back! Never saw the server after food delivered. until she brought check. Looks like locals like this place, but not for me.
