Pianeta's in Truckee

Last night we had a delicious meal at a wonderful restaurant in Truckee, CA.  It wasn't our first time there but it had been a couple years since we last visited.  I had a yummy dish,  Pasta di Olio.  Garlic & olive oil sautéed with crimini mushrooms, basil & spinach tossed with fresh angel hair pasta. Topped with toasted pine nuts & Parmigiano_Reggiano cheese & fresh basil chiffonade and crumbled sausage.   The bread they serve is warm and fresh.  We both enjoyed our meals and the service so much that we went back tonight.   This time we split the House Made Italian Pork Sausage & Tagliatelle. 2 Grilled sausage links- spicy Italian fennel & mild “Luganega” served with zesty tomato sauce, fresh tagliatelle pasta & Parmesan-Reggiano.  Again a wonderful dinner.  For dessert we tried the recommended "lemon panna cotta"  It was absolutely dreamy,  Everyone working there are friendly, helpful and made us feel like we belonged there.  Pianeta's remains on our list of favorite places to visit.  I wish I had thought to take pictures of the dishes.
