Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino, a spacious resort nestled in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and on the shore of North Lake Tahoe, announces a brand-new dining experience, Osteria Sierra. The new restaurant concept debuted on March 15 and features an elevated dining experience with a fusion of Italian and Alpine themes. Osteria Sierra is located in the main resort building next to Tahoe Provisions. The restaurant, previously named Sierra Café, has been transformed through a renovation to feature new décor and seating. The restaurant features Sicily Majolica art painted throughout. The ceramic majolica pattern originated in Renaissance Italy, and is known for its intricate designs and colors that can be seen in restaurants and businesses throughout Italy. The restaurant’s menu is curated by the hotel’s Executive Chef Alan Kubler. It features hand-made pastas made fresh daily. Signature dishes will include Italian specialties such as a burrata e pomodori with a pistachio pesto, a tagliata di angus featuring a New York strip served on an olive tapenade butter saffron risotto cake, a fresh creste de gallo with guanciale and black garlic, and more. The menu will also include handcrafted cocktails, an extensive wine and beer list, and a variety of traditional house-made desserts including a white chocolate and strawberry panna cotta, affogato, and tiramisu.
