Every time my father and I decide to take a trip to Tahoe a stop at Teps is a must. Their antipasti bar is large enough to satisfy and their minestrone soup is a must to have. (i have about 2 bowls for a starter). Their lasagna is among the best I've ever had only second to the homemade batch straight from and Italian grandmother. My father is a chef at the Hyatt Hotel in Sf so he knows his way around a good plate of food. The place is family owned and has a cozy atmosphere to it not cramped but i guess that depends on how much room you need. I agree their cheesecake isn't the best but their canoli is a pretty safe and tasty bet to go with. You want good Italian food there's no place but Teps to go.
