Twenty restaurants. Twenty reasons Reno is worth your time at the table. Each one belongs here for a different reason — some for their history, some for their creativity, some simply because Reno wouldn't be Reno without them. Not ranked. Just essential
Johnny’s Ristorante Italiano
Johnny's Ristorante Italiano in Reno has been the city's Italian standard-bearer since 1966 — veal parmigiana, perfectly fried calamari, a killer affogato, and a wine list worthy of the occasion. Reno's most enduring fine dining destination.

Kwok’s Bistro
Master chef Kwok Chen started by busing tables in Reno's casinos. Today his Peking duck takes three days to prepare, arrives at your table like a ceremony, and has earned a spot on Food & Wine's Top 100 Chinese Restaurants in America. Right here in Reno
