Would highly recommend this place!…read more To start off, our server was very sweet and the service itself was pretty quick! We had to go to a concert in Golden One center so this was a great spot. Ambiance is alright, like any normal restaurant nothing fancy. Going into food: Fried Raviolis: 3/5 Was a solid choice! Spicy marinara sauce carried. Ravioli itself was good but was nothing special. Fettuccini Arrostiti: 4.5/5 This was noted as one of their bestsellers. Would definitely recommend this dish as it's a little more unique compared to traditional Italian pastas. Reminded me of Olive Garden's scampi dish. Rigatoni alla Vodka: 4/5 Personally have had better but this was up there! Loved the sauce itself, although I may have enjoyed it a little more if it was more creamy. Tiramisu: 4/5 Very solid. Nice and moist. Better than ones I have had a most restaurants recently.

Friendly staff and they were able to accommodate our group of 12. Between the 12 of us, we tried a decent amount of the menu. Everything we tried (bolognese, Alfredo, salmon pasta, veal pasta, appetizers) was delicious. The standouts for me would have to be the octopus appetizer and bruschetta. And love the fresh pasta. Would come back and recommend.

The aesthetics were so cute, the atmosphere was amazing, the food was delicious, and the service was top tier. Armand was so wonderful and served us nothing but smiles throughout our time there and gave us the best service. He truly made it an experience for us!! We had a couple items on their special menu along with one of their more permanent items that Armand recommended to us and they were all delicious. One request I have is to PLEASE make the Dolce Americano PERMANENT on your menu. Hands down the best dessert I've had. I'll be dreaming about it forever!!

The bartender, I'm probably gonna mess her name up, Ternera was the only one in the restaurant serving, but she did an amazing job. She made sure I was happy with everything. I forgot to post the appetizer I ordered, which was basically a focaccia bread with a Caprese salad on it. Very tasty, lots of balsamic on it. I also ordered a pizza. I had Italian sausage, red peppers, and lots of other goodness. Everything I saw that other people ordered looked really good, and they have a great selection at the bar.

Our server was very knowledgeable about the dishes and made recommendations, however it didn't work out so well with our food choices as the dishes were bland and lacking flavor. It was a disappointment. We had the cheesy bread and bruschetta which were delicious. The beet salad was just OK and the muscle spaghetti lacked flavor and taste while the chicken pasta tasted bland and uninspiring. We were so disappointed that we hurriedly packed up our dishes to go and didn't take a great picture of the food that was plated very nicely. Unfortunately, we decided we wouldn't come back to give it another try.

If you're heading to Piatti with a group, skip the individual entrees and go full family style…read more It's the definitive way to experience the menu. We had a reservation and waited a few minutes longer than expected, a small grievance quickly forgotten once they sat us near the kitchen with a sightline to the live music, which was actually good. Meatballs, lemon pizza, and caesar salad to start. The caesar has been better elsewhere, but the other two were excellent. The wood fired pork chop, saffron spaghetti, and radiatore that followed were all really good. We finished with the strawberry bread pudding and aperitifs, staying much longer than we needed to. The room feels like a place people return to, filled with neighborhood regulars, which is always a good sign. But the real story is Claudia, our server. Everything arrived exactly when it should, every question was answered before we finished asking it, and nobody at the table wanted for anything all night. That kind of service is rare and she made the whole evening feel effortless. If you go, hope you get her.

We arrived before opening, and the bartender recognized us and kindly let us in early. We were the…read morefirst customers seated and the first to place our order. We received our bread and appetizer, but then we waited...and waited. As the restaurant filled up, we watched table after table receive their meals, eat, and leave while we still had no entrées. The couple next to us arrived about 20 minutes after we did, received their food, sent it back because it wasn't good, got replacement meals, and still finished before we were ever served. Each time we asked about our food, we were simply told, "It's coming," while the staff avoided eye contact. After more than an hour, our food was finally brought out by the owner's son. His explanation was that our steak took a long time to cook. That's simply not believable. A steak doesn't take over an hour to prepare, especially when every other table around us had already been served. I would have respected an honest explanation far more than an obvious excuse. To make matters worse, the steak was thin, overcooked, chewy, and cold by the time it reached the table. The quality was nowhere near what we've come to expect from this restaurant. I told the owner's son that I was more upset about the dishonest explanation than the delayed food. We've been loyal customers and planned to keep coming back, but honesty and accountability matter. Instead of acknowledging what happened, the owner came out, pointed his finger in my face, and became defensive because I called out the excuse his son gave. Rather than apologizing or trying to make the situation right, he escalated it into an unnecessary confrontation. Everyone makes mistakes. Kitchens get backed up. Orders get lost. Customers are generally understanding when businesses are honest and take responsibility. What I can't overlook is being misled and then treated disrespectfully when I questioned it. Unfortunately, this was the worst dining experience we've ever had here, and unless the owners learn how to handle problems with honesty and professionalism, I can't recommend this restaurant.

Came in for the first time with friends who are regulars. Came in on a Saturday for 5:30…read morereservations. This restaurant is kinda small but we had reservations so we got a table right away. Our server was very attentive and even gave us a few tastes of the beers on tap so we could decided. There were specials so we ordered the Mary special bacon wrapped chicken with a white wine sauce served over mashed potatoes. It was delicious!! Also ordered a special beet salad with arugula, feta cheese almonds figs and a blueberry dressing - FABULOUS!! Also tried a bit of our friends red cabbage and spatzel - both were good. Also tried a couple of the Czech dark beers. They were great! Definitely want to come back and try more of the food items!! Parking can sometimes be an issue but today we were able to get a street spot just a few spaces from the front.

Mattone Ristorante is located in East Sacramento, across from Corti Brothers and Chipotle. The inside was modern, clean and upscale looking although I did miss the more homey authentic feel of Espanol. I ordered the Caesar Salad and Lasagna - I ate every last bite of both dishes. The 12 layer lasagna was delicate and light while the Caesar Salad was refreshing and not overly dressed. My coworker got the beet salad and she said it was the best salad she ever had. The bread basket was so good too - seasoned house made breadsticks and foccacia bread slices with whipped butter - chef's kiss! Service was great and our water glasses were never empty! While we passed on dessert, I was very intrigued by the Cappuccino Cheesecake - I will definitely be back for that! I'll be back during dinner time to try more dishes - maybe for a date night with my husband!
