Once a date night spot for Al Pacino and Diane Keaton, one of Tahoe’s oldest restaurants closed its doors for good.
The fabled and beloved family-style Italian restaurant Bacchi's Inn, tucked away in North Lake Tahoe's Lake Forest neighborhood, shut its doors for good on Sept. 11 after one final Sunday dinner service.With one last service to a full house of mostly locals there to pay homage, the restaurant — which had just celebrated its 90th birthday — quietly shut its doors on Sept. 11 for good.
On-again, off-again Hollywood couple Al Pacino and Diane Keaton were spotted dining there multiple times in 1973 during the filming of “The Godfather Part II” on the West Shore, along with the crew of that movie. Rumor has it that the dark-hued study of Michael Corleone,Al Pacino in"The Godfather Part II."that was making Bacchi’s dining room his winter home.
William Hunter sits inside his restaurant, Bacchi's Inn, which closed for good on Sept. 11 after 90 years of serving residents and visitors to Lake Tahoe's North Shore.“We’re done,” William “Pops” Hunter, the maternal grandson of founders George and Josephine Bacchi, who opened the restaurant in 1932, told SFGATE. “Basically, I’m the chef, and I’m 78 years old. I’ve been doing it for 65 years. It was just time.
Josephine’s dishes caught the eye of heiress and philanthropist Lora J. Knight, most famous for her funding of Charles Lindbergh’s record-setting trans-Atlantic flight. Knight was alsocastle in Emerald Bay, and the Bacchis were her go-to caterer. In time, she encouraged the family to open a business of their own.
The dim lighting, the wood paneling, the dark beams on the ceiling, the comfy red leather chair in the corner of the bar that a kid could get lost in … it was all mixed with big band sounds or Frank Sinatra, Johnny Mathis and Tony Bennett to kick off the special night ahead.
