One of our stops every year when we come for skiing. Anything is good. Highly recommending the bone marrow. Pizzas are awesome. Nice environment. But so busy. Reservation is a must.

Great food options and friendly service. Happy hour options are nice. Ice cream with olive oil and salt was so good! We came here 4 times during our 6 day stay!

Wow this was a great dinner and drinks spot for our first time in Truckee. We started with oysters and carrots, and finished with pizza. All were thoughtfully prepared, fresh, and tasty. The service was also great. Pick a seat at their large bar or grab a table— you won’t be disappointed!

After spending some time at the Farmers Market, my boyfriend and I decided to try Old Town Tap. The menu sounded good, and it was relatively busy.
We had a terrible experience with the service and our food.The waitress took a while to acknowledge us and the first thing she asked was do you want anything to drink? She didn’t introduce herself, explain the menu or specials, she answered one question about a dish, took our order, and then walked away. She was not personable at all and didn’t recommend anything on the menu. As someone in the hospitality industry, I expect attentive service at a pricey full service restaurant.
Once we received our mushroom pizza, the waitress returned but didn’t ask how it was or if we needed anything. Additionally, we had to ask the bartender for a cup of ice since a bottle of warm water was placed on our table. Shout out to the bartender!
The pizza was oily, bland and doughy, which wasn’t particularly appetizing. I had one small slice and couldn’t eat anymore. The dough had a weird taste, and I’m not sure why. Consider adding a garnish like fresh herbs or arugula for some color… Had the waitress been more observant, she would have noticed amongst two people we only ate half of one 12 in pie. The next time we saw her as it was hard to track her down we immediately asked for the check and a box. Those should have been three obvious “red flags” regarding our experience, and perhaps that should have alerted her to have a manager touch our table.
I entered the restaurant slightly hungry and left starving.

The food was delish. We had sharables, apps, salads and pizza. The food kept getting better as they brought out our orders. Drinks were very taste also. Cheese curds were my favorite. Cesar salad had enough parmigiana it make you cry sweet tears. The dressing was most delicious. Best I’ve had in a long time; Portion is shareable too. Mostly noise inside the restaurant. It was hard to converse but I’d still go back.

We were a party of 7 in Lake Tahoe for a wedding and found this place based on its reviews. The pizza was very good (we got the mushroom truffle and nephew got the pork), brother got the Ceasar salad which was delicious and had tiny bread crumb bits which gave it a nice crunchy texture.
The atmosphere is laid back.
The service was phenomenal. Our server Sofia (sp?) was fantastic and said she has worked there for 3 years. This is their only location.
Would definitely recommend this place for a relaxed lunch for pizza and salads.

Super Fast Service and Great Pizza.
Warm olive appetizers were good, but be aware ALL of the Olives still had their pits, so eating them was a bit tedious.

It very busy and we had to wait about 20 minutes to be seated.
We ordered the mushroom pizza, which was really good — fresh and flavorful.
Unfortunately, the Fried Brussels Sprouts were disappointing. They were overly salty and tasted a bit stale.
We also tried the Fried Cheese Curds. They were fresh and tasty, although the dipping sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste.

Let me preface this review by saying that it pains me to write anything g negative. But being in management myself, I understand the necessity of constructive criticism.
My wife, three year old, and three month old arrived at 8pm and asked for a table outside so that we could have room for the car seat our three month old was in and not disturb the patrons inside with our three year old that never shuts up. We were accommodated quickly by the hostess.
Our waiter arrived promptly and took our drink order. The drinks arrived quickly. They were both very good. He was attentive and helpful as we asked him the different items on the charcuterie tray vs the cheese tray. We ended up choosing the cheese tray because it came with fruit and as any parent knows, toddlers will eat fruit. We also ordered a sausage and kale pizza.
The charcuterie board arrived quicker than expected. And while it was delicious, it only had two fruits on it that may have added up to a half of a small apple. The cheeses were fantastic, as were the spreads and bread. Just one problem, we didn’t have utensils, so there was no way to cut or spread anything on the tray. The hostess came out to clean up the patio(they close at 9pm), so we asked her for Ute sold and she obliged. Small oversight that I tack up to us asking to be seated in the patio and the staff having already begun cleaning it for closing. Understandable.
The tray was expensive, but such is everything these days, which makes it so difficult to take a family out to eat.
The pizza arrived right as we were finishing the cheese tray. It was amazing. Can’t say enough about the pizza. I’m a fan of spice, so I looked for the pepper flakes. They weren’t on our table. Luckily, there was a shaker on the bar window behind us, so we grabbed them ourselves. Again, probably an oversight from closing procedures. Not a big deal.
When we finally paid, the waiter – who was exceptionally kind and friendly – reached over my toddler and wife to grab the bill. It startled us a little bit. I went to eat the last piece of pizza and reached for the pepper shaker and it was gone. At some point either the waiter or the hostess had removed it from the table unbeknownst to us. Whatever. I ate the pizza as is and it was still delicious.
As I stood up, preparing to leave, he grabbed three or four pizza crusts from in front of my son, in a hurry to clean up the table. This bothered me because he didn’t ask, he just grabbed them. Getting my son to eat anything at a restaurant is difficult, but he likes bread crusts. We would’ve taken them home with us. It just seemed like the staff were trying to go home, despite them having at least six more tables seated inside. My wife didn’t even realize he had taken them and asked me if I had grabbed the crusts. It was that quick.
We got into our truck to leave at 8:58, 2 minutes before closing time. We were the only it family on the patio, but there were still many people inside the restaurant.
I write a lot of Google reviews, so I did not post this review because I had a horrible experience. I actually didn’t. But I left feeling confused and disappointed. Again, the waiter was very friendly and genuine. He shouldn’t be reprimanded for any of this, but perhaps it can be insightful for future reference.
For those curious about costs, our order was a full cheese tray, one pizza, one mixed drink, and one beer. Total after tip? $115. On that note alone, we probably won’t return. However, it was a delightful place with good food and a warm atmosphere.

If you have one night in Truckee, have a meal at Old Town Tap. The food is world-class and the service is SUPERB. Best meatballs ever — spicy and over a bed of polenta. Olive and garlic pizza was as good as it gets. Burrata with tomatoes well presented. Excellent beer menu. I had a flavorful chocolaty porter.
