    Lasagna

    This place is so cute on the inside and they have a back patio! The service was quick and friendly. And all the food was delicious!! We'll definitely be back to try more dishes

    Food, Service, speed, ambiance. What a surprise. Grabbed the beet salad. The place that was here before didn't make it long I think this one will do great. I'd love to try the steak next.

    Food, service and ambiance is high 5! It reminds me of a small town you see in a Hallmark movie. It's cozy, food is great!

    Gnocchi
    Jenny N.

    This spot definitely surpassed my expectations! I just wanted some pasta but found so many dishes that were good! I believe our server told us that the owner was Peruvian, so there were some of those flavors and dishes available! The empanadas on the specials menu were actually our favorite. They were soooo good! The gnocchi was also one of the best gnocchis I've had! The steak fry saltado dish was just ok to me and same with the salccido (sorry I've spelt that incorrectly). Their wine list is also great! The servers are very knowledgeable and allow you to try some as well. It wasn't too crowded when we arrived on a Friday around 6 PM, but got packed during our dinner!

    Gnocchi with pesto sauce
    Darci K.

    What an unexpected surprise... Nestled in old Fair Oaks, this could be a hidden gem. My favorite dining companion and I settled in at our table, and perused the menu. Diners tip: this is a super small restaurant, and reservations are a good idea. We ordered the gnocchi with pesto sauce as a shared appetizer, The gnocchi and pesto are made in house, and you can taste it! They do offer three different sauces for you to select from for the gnocchi, and the pesto came recommended. The gnocchi was pillowy, and the pesto was perfect. This is definitely a must try. We opted for one more appetizer, and chose the meatballs. Another great call! Service was fairly slow, and the only thing that we could figure out was that by the time the meatballs made it to the table, could have been because they were made to order. However, that wasn't communicated with us, nor were we told that there would be a long wait. So I'm just speculating. It's also possible that other orders were taken care of before ours. The meatballs were delicious! The perfect combination of seasoning, different meats, and just everything. The meatball itself was a good size, and I absolutely love the fact that it wasn't this heavy dish, but instead they have perfected making meatballs. So if these were made to order, then they were absolutely worth the wait. The marinara sauce also surprised me in a good way. It wasn't acidic, it was light and flavorful and a perfect compliment to the well seasoned meatball. The light sprinkling of Parm on top was a nice way to enjoy each bite. We found ourselves full after the two appetizers, and after the relatively slower service, we didn't want to wait for a full entrée. This is a lovely quaint restaurant. Parking is challenging, but if you're looking for a place for a lovely date, good times with friends, or a small family dinner, this is definitely worth checking out!

    Calamari
    Michael T.

    Food: Solid Italian food and tasty. We had the lasagna, chicken marsala, minestrone soup, and calamari. All the food was good overall. Their minestrone soup was thick and I liked the inclusion of lentils. Service: Service was prompt and good. They accepted reservations here. Ambiance: Cozy and warm overall. My only potential issue was the fact that the inside was rather smoky/hazy when we arrived, so their air circulation didn't seem that great when we went. I could see people with dry eye potentially having issues in that environment.

    Cozy and comfortable wine bar / grill / lounge. A wide variety of wine offerings are available. A genuine Italian Beef sandwich with great au jus and giardinera is available. A small cheese fondue appetizer is also available. Great food, great service, comfortable and well appointed atmosphere.

    Roth cab is delicious.

    New bodega! Let's get after it. Visited twice. Both delightful. First time was to smash through a flatbread (Franco! Meat counter on a flatbread - so good) and work. Back patio was quiet and easy to work and eat (and drink). White wine was tasty. Service was great. Second time, brought the Better Half and sat at the bar. Beet salad is a gorgeous presentation. Added the minestrone, which was exactly what this cold, rainy fall day needed. Husband had the harvest salad, which he seemed to enjoy. The tortilla Española was good, but not my fave. Flavors on point. Wine is delish. Service is excellent. New fave!

    Gnocchi OMG Fabulous
    Mindy M.

    Been here several times each time is never a bad experience food wine and Service is always outstanding! Nalia is an amazing server! We so enjoy chit chatting with her! This is a quaint little place that is cozy and yummy!

    Salsiccia Manicotti... pasta stuffed with italian sausage, blend of italian cheeses, basil, and garlic, baked in house marinara.

    Adding... updating a few photos. Worth checking this place out. Great for a date or just hanging out with some friends. Great service and a nice laid back ambiance.

The fatty brisket was good and flavorful but for the price, I was hoping to get more brisket. The tatter tots were crispy and good. - Kids cheeseburger: it was okay. I'd say it was a slider instead of burger. But the bun was soft and the patty was well cooked. The fries were good and crunchy. The kids menu said that it came with kids drink but we got charged for an ice tea.

First, shout out to the server that noticed my fiancé's comfortability in the booth and asked if he wanted to be moved to a different table. We didn't catch his name but thank you for noticing my fiancé being a taller and larger guy. This was the first time anyone has asked if he was comfortable. Our server Alex was great! He was friendly and checked in on us often. I got the pappardelle w/red chile flakes and it was so good! Fresh made pasta is delicious and such a treat! My fiancé got the stromboli pizza. When we tried the bread with olive oil and balsamic, he knew he wanted the pizza. The pizza dough reminded him of his trip to Italy eating pizza every day, and he loved it. Tiramisu for my birthday is a must! It was delicious with enough coffee flavor and cream. We'll definitely be back to try the other dishes. All in all, a good spot for my birthday.

Meatballs were tasty and tender. Tiramisu was a nice sweet pick me up but I felt the custard filling was just whipped cream light. I would prefer a more richer flavor with mascapone. Friendly staff. Spacious seating. It gave that traditional low lighting ambiance with booths and heavy chairs.
