A little spaghetti western at the heart of River Lodge. Ciao Papi brings Italian inspiration and California craft to the table over pizzas, pastas, craft cocktails, and fine wine. The heated patio sets the scene for leisurely lunches, fireside dinners, and everything in between.

Interior of a restaurant with wicker pendant lights hanging from the ceiling, tables set with pink napkins, and a built-in seating area with chevron-patterned cushions. Large windows reveal an outdoor view with a railing and distant hills, and a rectangular fire pit with rocks is in the foreground.
