Za's Restaurant, which operated in Tahoe City from 1998 to 2005, is set to return to it's spot next to Pete 'N Peter's. The former owner, Culinary Institute-trained Jonny Roscher, is done with his gig as the traveling chef for a drag racing team, and will take over the space recently vacated by North Shore Hawaiian Grill to re-introduce his locals-focused Italian menu.
