Reviews
I ordered a martini, penne à la vodka, and a Caesar salad. The martini was excellent, and the pasta was absolutely amazing—rich, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Easily the standout of the meal.
The Caesar salad, however, missed the mark for me. It didn’t taste like a traditional Caesar dressing at all and came across more like a watered-down buttermilk dressing. I’d love to see them improve or rethink that dressing because the rest of the food was so strong.
The waitstaff were wonderful—friendly, attentive, and clearly handling a busy crowd with ease. There’s also a lovely outdoor seating area, which adds to the appeal. Overall, great vibes, great drinks, and fantastic pasta. I’d definitely return—just skipping the Caesar next time.
We came on an early Saturday afternoon with no reservation but were seated after 20 minutes. Even then, the restaurant was packed! I would definitely recommend getting a reservation if you plan to come later in the evening and/or have a large group with you (it was only two of us).
I decided to order the soup of the day, which I believe was a squash/butternut squash soup, Parmesan and truffle fries, and my friend ordered the truffle macaroni and cheese with the “the hipster” cocktail. They also brought complimentary rosemary bread and oil. The bread was soft, the cocktail was great and very decent portion, the soup was perfectly balanced and went great with the toasted bread. The fries were a little cold but tasty and came with garlic aioli and ketchup. My friend said her macaroni and cheese was yummy and she would order again. The menu is full of options and we will definitely be back to try more things. Must come if wanting either a romantic night out or a lovely dinner with friends!
Only complaint is I was charged regularly price for Happy Hour drinks, but I wasn’t in the mood to address it.
We arrived right when the restaurant opened, and the hostess greeted us warmly and showed us to our table. Our server promptly brought water and explained the day’s menu.
We ordered the spaghetti bolognese, mushroom risotto, caprese classic, and four seasons pizza. Everything was delicious and satisfying—the pizza had a thin, crispy crust with fresh toppings, while the risotto and pasta were both flavorful. The house bread was served warm and fresh, and dipping it into the olive oil was a treat.
For my birthday, they kindly served me a complimentary soda. After our meal, they surprised me with a gelato topped with a candle and even took a Polaroid photo of us, which they gifted to us right away. Such a thoughtful touch that made the evening extra special!
Parking is available on the street and in nearby public lots.
Overall, a wonderful dining experience with excellent food and warm hospitality. Definitely a place we’d love to come back to.
The photo of the Caesar looks small but we had already dug in!
Food: Penne Vodka sub Fettuccine add chicken was flavorful but some of my fettuccine was under and crunchy. Perhaps they execute pizza better.
Service: Sol was our server. They were wonderful. I believe had they known it was our anniversary, they would have said something at the very least.
My FAV dish, is the Salmon Del Nonna and it was perfection. I came in every few months for it. Last weekend for my bday celebration I brought a friend so they could specifically try this dish I rave about. I was informed while I was waiting that they changed the dish slightly because the chef thought it was too much work to make mashed potatoes…ok. This is fine dining, u don’t lower ur standards because of effort. They went from a flavorful mashed potato which complimented the Salmon and veggies perfectly to a boring and flavorless roasted potato. I still decided to dine and try it anyway and it was horribly disappointing. Both our Salmons had black grill marks making it taste burnt and the potatoes were bland even with the sauce. I did not end up finishing it, and usually I eat the whole thing.
I suggest if you’re going to call a dish, “my grandmother’s salmon”, that you stick to grandma’s recipe. She knows best.
*The photos below are what the salmon usually look like with the mashed potatoes vs what they’re serving now.
this is easily my least favorite restaurant in Sacramento. I’ve been here twice (once as a party of two and once as a party of four), and both times were the same disappointing experience.
I have no idea where others are getting this “top notch” service from. Certainly can’t be here. The service is awful & extremely slow. The staff has no real attentiveness or care for good service, & you have to flag them down for everything. They never ask if you’re celebrating anything, if you’re ready to order, or honestly anything at all. We felt silly and ridiculous having to raise our hands just to get any type of attention. We even had to walk up to the sever stand to grab salt and pepper (which the manager gladly let us take instead of offering to bring it to us, and we had to inform her we would like cheese which should have been brought out with our food.)
The cocktails are way too overpowering with zero balance, and the food doesn’t make up for it either. (They also charged us for refills on Sprite, which is wild.) The pizza is horrendous, the pasta is lackluster, and while the appetizers can be good when they come out fresh, that’s not likely to happen. My food came out soft and barely warm, like they’d been sitting there for a while. (Both for apps + entrees). *There was also signs of pasta mixing.
I honestly don’t understand why they choose to be so awful, but it’s definitely a choice. The ambiance is nice, but that’s where the positives end. Between the bland food, bad drinks, and inattentive service, I would never recommend this place to anyone.
