Best Places to Eat in Carson City
From Vincent and Megan LoPresti
When working with real estate clients, or when we have friends or family in town, we’re often asked what are the best places to eat in Carson City. Since it comes up so often, we decided we should add it to our website so we can easily share when asked. Surprisingly, even though Carson City is a small town, it has a lot of great food places. However, may of Carson’s best food places are a little hidden. Hopefully this restaurant list with addresses included will help point our hungry friend, family and clients in the right direct. Oh, and if you have a place you love that isn’t on this list, let us know so we can try it out. Maybe we’ll even love it enough to add it to our list of favorites. – Megan & Vince
