About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
For years, Paolo and Teresa Gaspari honored their Italian roots by bringing people together to enjoy good food, great wine and the company of friends and family. In 2019, John Ekizian took the reins and remains excited to continue the tradition of La Famiglia. The simplicity and perfection of fresh ingredients is the root of every meal we prepare here at La Famiglia, and all of our dishes pair beautifully with our vast collection of fine wines. From our pasta to our sauces, even to our freshly-squeezed lemon juice, we start from scratch. One bite, and you’ll understand the difference that handmade truly makes. Our courteous and attentive wait staff is ready to welcome you. Whether you’re joining us for a special night out, a family gathering or simply because you’re craving a delicious Italian meal, we hope you’ll spend it with La Famiglia.

    Another Fantastic date night at La Famiglia. We arrived early and enjoyed perfectly crafted cocktails before our reservation. The service was 100% spot on - start to finish. Started with Lobster Escargot style - Just delicious! My wife loved the Stuffed Spaghetti Squash (Gluten Free) and my Linguine a Mare was loaded with clams, mussels and shrimp in a delicious light red sauce. Hands down, the best Italian Restaurant in Reno!!

    Always enjoy La Famiglia! Excellent Italian food and service. The Linguine Mare and the Veal Picatta were done perfectly. I recommend the Lobster Escargot appetizer.

    CeCe was excellent! Your busser needs to be less aggressive to take plates.
