We got 2 pizzas, both of which were good and I would go back again, but there's something holding it back from 5 stars that I can't quite pinpoint. Better than good pizza, but not quite amazing either. We did get takeout so I can't speak to the dining in service or ambiance.

This is the type of place you go to when you want a freshly made traditional style pizza. It's a little pricey; at least it's fresh! Service is fast even considering how busy they get and I've never had trouble getting a table on Friday night. The place is loud and casual. There is a small bar area with TVs. The apps menu changes periodically and so far have enjoyed what I've tried.

Antipasti - Must try!
Angela V.

A trendy, casual restaurant and bar. Despite it being a busy Friday evening, my party of 4 was seated right away. Our server was friendly and answered all of our questions. We ordered the Antipasti to start, split the Margherita Pizza, Italian Sausage Pizza, and Pepperoni Pizza (not pictured), and ended the meal with a scoop of mango sorbet to share with my husband. I loooved the Antipasti. If you enjoy pickled veggies, tapenade, and charcuterie, you have to order this. I even put some pickled onions on my pizza slice to add a nice sourness to the bite. My favorite was the pepperoni pizza. It comes with mushrooms which made me like it even more. Although the crust was a bit burnt for my liking, the flavor and thickness of the pie was delightful. I really hoped to enjoy the Italian Sausage Pizza a little more since I ordered it for the table, but it was soggy. The toppings weakened the integrity of the crust causing it to fall apart at the first pull. Lastly, the mango sorbet was the only flavor available. It had a good balance of sweetness and tartness - a refreshing way to end a great night with even greater company.

Italian Sausage Pizza

I made my return to OneSpeed and had a better experience this time. Last time, I skipped the pizza and just went with the pasta, which is not exactly the strength of this restaurant. This time around, I just went with the pizza. I was able to get seated right away when I dropped by on an early Sunday evening around 5p or so. Our server was very kind and professional. Though, it felt like it took a while for our pizza to get to us, I didn't mind the wait. I'm sure if I would've ordered an appetizer, it would've hit the table sooner. - Italian Sausage Pizza (Tomato Sauce, Fresh Mozzarella, Ricotta, Red Onions, Pepperoncini, Italian Oregano): This one was the better of the two pizzas. The pepperoncini gave this a nice zing to balance the saltiness of the sausage. pretty good pizza. - Pepperoni Pizza (Sautéed Mushrooms, Three Cheeses, Tomato Sauce, Garlic Oil): a pretty good pepperoni. not much else to say. I guess I didn't really taste the garlic oil, and there was a bit of an unpleasant grease puddle at the bottom of the pizza pan from the pepperoni. in general, the pizzas were good but not great. The crust was a little crunchier/hard than I would've liked. I prefer the crust on Obo's pizza down the road. I heard they're closing down this location when the lease is up around January 2027; though, I believe they plan on reopening elsewhere.

Big Italian Salad (this is half)
Mike L.

A reliable and delicious favorite, One Speed always delivers a high quality food experience. This place is always busy, loud, bright, and fun. We enjoyed a Big Italian Salad (lots of large chicken chunks) and the pepperoni pizza (without ricotta) and some of their high quality house red wine. Split the pizza and the salad, which was plenty of food for two guys. Service was fast, after a 15 minute wait for a table. I'm always astonished at how delicious the food here is...and always prepared with a variety of fresh, local, ingredients and flavors.

Rick Mahan, Chef and Owner of Sacramento's renowned Waterboy Restaurant fame, has created another culinary hot spot in the charming east Sacramento neighborhood. And the food and fun environment are show stoppers. OneSpeed has become the darling of Sacramento diners. Why not? Famed chef known for seasonal and locally-sourced ingredients always resulting in fresh, clean, and quality gourmet food. Everyone wants some of that. I know I do. When I am meeting friends in Sac Town, this is always numero uno choice. For them and for me. I will show up at OneSpeed every chance I get. While we usually snag a table... the bar is really nice too. A half circle tucked away in the back of the restaurant fits perfectly in the cozy space. It fills up fast. People are enjoying their libations and it is always lively. The seating in the large, one room restaurant is just as "happening". One Speed is typically filled to capacity by 6 p.m., so get there early or plan on a wait. This is a diverse group of diners. Families, friends, couples... the whole gamut. They are all here for one reason... exceptional food, great wine and beer, and elevated customer service at a pretty appreciated reasonable price given the food quality. Yes, I might classify OneSpeed as trendy and hipster but in a very good "casual" way. Great people watching... discretely...too! If you don't live in the neighborhood, you best plan on a little walk on certain nights because there are only a few parking spots in the back of the restaurant. Otherwise street or neighborhood parking is where you end up. Oh... of course bike parking! Brick oven pizza (known as the best in town), pasta, salads, soups, nightly specials, desserts... all absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. You simply cannot go wrong at this jewel of a neighborhood eatery. Ever! Outside front patio is nice... weather permitting. I must have a boatload of photos from all my visits! Great job, Rick!

Herbed Fries*
Victoria T.

Came by on Tuesday night around 6pm and it was a full house! There was a wait time and we were told about 30 minutes for a party of 3. We ordered the herb fries and three pizzas: Rick's, BBQ chicken and pepperoni mushroom. Everything tasted good and definitely enough to take home some leftovers. The olives on Rick's pizza were a really strong taste I'm not used to so that wasn't a favorite for me but we were told it's a popular one. You can definitely tell things are made to order and fresh with quality ingredients. I didn't like that the tables were so close to each other and we were close to other parties dining, but I understand they're trying to maximize their space. Not much parking here since it's mostly street parking but we parked in a nearby residential area.

TLDR: get the Big Italian salad, the pepperoni pizza, and a side of ranch for a sublime dinner experience! They also have a killer burger if that's more your...speed :) We love OneSpeed but don't visit super often, so it was a natural pick for our Valentines Day dinner! We arrived at 6:30pm and were totally ready to wait for a table as they don't do reservations, but we were greeted warmly and seated right away at a table where we could watch the action in the kitchen (one of our favorite things to do at a restaurant). No matter what else we are ordering, we ALWAYS have to get a Big Italian salad. I have had actual dreams about this salad. It's just the best salad, and this time was no different. I also had the boquerones appetizer which was different and delicious. We did a half and half pizza with 2 pizzas that were new to us: the pepperoni and the Italian sausage. Side of ranch is non-negotiable, their ranch is unique and delicious and makes everything better! Both were absolutely terrific but the pepperoni was the real standout for us. It hit all the right notes and was perfection. We left with leftovers for the next day and full happy stomachs. We'll be back soon to try the Garden pizza on our server's recommendation!

Rick's Pizza, New Jersey Tomato Pie
Angelica R.

Always wanted to try this place and finally got the chance. Stopped by about an hour before closing and were seated right away. Started with the Italian salad - wish they chopped the lettuce slightly smaller since I had a couple of bites that were just lettuce without any of the other delicious ingredients. Overall, it was delicious and loved the grilled chicken, chunks of cheese, salami, and olives. The balance is a little off though with the lettuce :/ Ordered 1/2 Rick's and half New Jersey tomato pie- skip the Rick's unless you're a huge fan of potato soup and definitely get the New Jersey tomato pie! The crust on both pizzas was incredible! Thin, crunchy, tasty- I would buy these as bread sticks if they were offered We also got the meat calzone. Great presentation- comes out puffy and they cut it for you table side. Nice dish for a date night :) the calzone was packed with ingredients and was also one of our favorites. We're definitely planning to go back. The pizza was excellent

Pepperoni with house made sausage

Came here for the first time. We ordered the pepperoni pizza with housemaid sausage and their fries. Everything was amazing! Best pizza so far!

Heather C.

Amazing place and amazing food. We got the mushroom pizza and switched out the mushroom type to the long ones because they are placed after in season overall it was the best thing we've had, especially with the garlic oil on the pizza. We also ordered the salad, beet potato, and smoked trout salad. So many different flavors, but it came together so well. While this is a prettiest simple interior restaurant, it feels Homie with the open kitchen view and the multiple windows. This was our first time and we hope to come back again.

Dined at One Speed for the first time for my mom's birthday. Had heard goods things from several people, so I had this place on my list for a while. And was glad to have been able to finally make it in an check itnout for myself. We arrived at 1pm on a Saturday and we're quickly seated. The established had an a variety of people dining in at the time, and we were sat a a table right near the large windows, facing the the outside and patio area. We looked over the menus for a little bit, and we're able to sample a wine and a beer that was on the menu before actually ordering. Once that moment arrived we ordered the following: Appetizers: Marinated Olives Spinach Salad Main courses: Gnocchi BBQ Chicken Pizza (x2) Calzone Dessert: Old fashioned soda float Sticky Toffee Pudding Chocolate mousse Affogato Drinks: White wine (before meals) Espresso (with dessert) One of the things I liked about One Speed is the overall look and feel of the restaurant. One Speed has an open kitchen area, when you can see the cooks happily at work. And where you can also see a large brick oven, for off of the fresh pizzas and Calzone type meals. The calzone came fresh out of the fire, and to our table an a nice wooden cutting board. Where our waiter sliced it up right in front of us; wait a nice touch! The calzone was HUGE and full of Meats and cheese, and easily something that would need to have boxed up and have some left overs for. The Gnocchi was beautifully plated and was just as delicious. The BBQ Chicken Pizza was nice and nice, with a crust that had the perfect crispy crunch when bitten into. And was adorned with nice chunks of grilled chicken breast, cilantro and a light amount of BBQ sauce. The desserts were great as well. I personally ordered the Affogato which I think is always a great cap on a great meal. Espresso and vanilla gelato; you can't go wrong with that. The Sticky Toffee Pudding my girlfriend ordered to share, and that was so delicious as well. I was pleasantly surprised, but not at the same time. Because the variety of amazingly looking foods & desserts, is what made me want to check out One Speed in the first place. Overall: One Speed definitely lived up to the talk. The food and service were great, and I will definitely be back again with friends and family.

Panzanella salad!
Amy C.

We revisited after many years. We live so close and don't go out as much so it's been awhile. Now we know we need to keep coming back. It was a little warm inside so next time may enjoy the patio next time. The service was great and they were very attentive. We ordered a salad and pizza. Then some drinks and dessert. I forgot how good the pizza was!!! I am already waiting for when we go back. The wine was perfect for what I ordered and I really enjoyed it. Thanks One Speed!

The food, the ambiance, the amazing service.. read on to learn why your next meal should be here! FOOD If you're not drooling at the food pics, I'll forgive you, but you better get to the restaurant to try the food in person. Everything was SO flavorful, cooked to perfection, and plated in the most appealing way. With the hearty and filling portions, it's a surprise they didn't have to roll us out of there. Kids eat free on Sundays till 5pm, and the 6 kiddos we had with us had full bellies and lunch for school the next day. I'm not Italian but I have picky taste buds and yowzers! I'm still dreaming about this meal (from 4 days ago). The pasta was so fresh and cooked perfectly. The pizza crust was flavorful and supported the *mountain* of toppings (can I get an amen on that?!). Authentic, fresh, and absolutely delicious! SERVICE Nickolas was our server and not only did he go above and beyond to make our dining experience superb, he was friendly, and kind, and despite being busy for dinner service he made us feel like we were the only ones in the restaurant. From the moment we walked into the restaurant to when we left, he truly elevated our dining experience. AMBIANCE There's a beautiful mural painted inside that just transports you to Italy. The decor is so cute and just makes you feel like you're walking into Nonna's house. MISC Tons of parking available in the free lot. LOTS of options for vegetarians, meat eaters, and the pickiest of eaters. We were a huge party, and they accommodated us with no problems. I also love how involved they are in the community -- their willingness to give back to local schools and churches through fundraising is outstanding. They really check every box, y'all! If this review hasn't sparked your interest to go check out Ippolito's Trattoria, ya might wanna go back and re-read the review because HELLO. If you have taste buds, you're not going to want to miss out on the fabulous food they're cooking up here! 12/10 all around, and cannot wait to come back to try something new!

Interesting note - they offer cauliflower crust pizza- a must try next time. Enjoy!

We were staying at the DoubleTree by Hilton nearby, so the location was really convenient. La Porta is tucked right behind the Mercedes dealership, and there was plenty of parking, which is always a nice bonus. Once inside, we were greeted and seated right away. The restaurant has a modern, comfortable feel with a full bar. There was even a colorful group apparently headed to an Indian wedding, dressed in beautiful silk finery and enjoying cocktails at the bar. It added a fun splash of color and energy to the evening. The menu had plenty of tempting choices, but the three of us quickly settled on some favorites. My mother-in-law ordered the Spaghetti Bolognese, while my wife and I shared a 12" A16 Napoli pizza with pepperoni and an order of their lasagna. Everything was delicious! The pizza had a thin, nicely crisped crust with fresh mozzarella, tomato sauce, basil and plenty of pepperoni. The lasagna arrived bubbling hot in its own dish, covered in beautifully browned melted cheese and surrounded by a rich tomato sauce. My mother-in-law's Bolognese was equally well received. Portions were generous enough that we had a little left over, and you better believe it came with us. It was sooo good, there was no way we were letting it go to waste...! I kept my drink simple with pear flavored Grey Goose vodka and soda, and it was so refreshing! Our server was super sweet, funny and attentive without hovering. She stopped by regularly to refill our waters, check on the table and make sure we had everything we needed. Great service can really make a meal, and she definitely added to the experience. Good food, generous portions, friendly service, plenty of parking and a convenient location made La Porta a really enjoyable find. If I'm in the Sacramento area again, this will definitely be on the short list of places I'd happily return to. Great little find, and those leftovers aren't going to make it very long tonight...!

The experience felt like classic Italian dining. They had old school Italian music playing throughout the restaurant. The outside of the building is very modest. You wouldn't suspect this place has some of the best Italian food in the Sacramento area. We didn't make reservations (next time we will) but luckily came just after opening, which is 5pm, and got a table in the bar area. For a Saturday the crowd was light but as the night went on more and more people filled the place up. The bar itself was lively and lots of lemon drops were being ordered as well as wine by the glasses. Lemon drops seem to be their specialty and next time I'll be having one. Our server Katie was very busy yet never neglected my lady and I. She kept us on top of her mind constantly seeing if we needed anything. We got the Italian wedding soup. Once we heard it as the soup of the day our eyes lit up and we had to try it. Absolutely delicious! It's very popular with Katie telling us people call to ask if it's being served. Will definitely be doing the same because I want more. The bread basket came with focaccia and the long bread sticks which you don't see much anymore. Loved this dish. Not complimentary so be sure to order it from the appetizer menu. I went with the 3 cheese ravioli. A grown man ravioli you won't find many places. The sauce was light but deep with flavor. The mushrooms were perfect. Using the bread to soak up the juices was heaven on earth. The raviolis were delicious. This was a vegetarian dish yet I didn't even care! My fiancee got the lasagna. Everyone who told us about Mattone said to try it. The lady who sat us mentioned it when sitting us down too, so expectations were high. After having it my lady said it was the best lasagna she's ever had! It melted in your mouth. The noodles just dissolve away. The meat and sauce is really good. And the serving is huge. Ended the meal with coffee and we couldn't stop glowing about the meal we just had. We are already planning to return for a birthday coming up. Katie took great care of us boxing our leftovers and even surprising us with some soup to take home. Impeccable dinner. Can't wait to return.

This restaurant is popular, has a more intimate atmosphere, and stays busy throughout the evening, which is always a good sign! We started with the bread basket and calamari. The bread was delicious, and the butter was a great touch, but the calamari definitely stole the show! It was perfectly crispy, well-seasoned, and served with a spicy sauce that complemented it beautifully. Definitely a great way to start the meal! For our main course, we had to try the lasagna. This was a hearty, satisfying dish featuring 12 delicious layers of meat sauce, cheese, and homemade spinach pasta. They certainly aren't shy with their portions! It was rich, comforting, and perfect for anyone craving a classic Italian meal. If you're looking for a restaurant that feels simply elegant without being overly formal, Mattone Ristorante is definitely worth considering. Whether you're celebrating a special milestone, planning an anniversary dinner, or simply enjoying a date night with your love, this spot makes for a wonderful evening. Thank you, Mattone Ristorante, for being part of our 6th anniversary celebration! Here's to many more years of love, laughter, and making memories together.

I wasn't expecting good Italian food in Sacramento, so when a colleague suggested this place for…read moredinner, I agreed. Im also not much an Italian food fan really. Crazy I say this as I was in a serious relationship once with an Italian lol. I know I sound like a miserable wretched human being, but its quite ubiquitous and a lot of it is not too hard to make. But I do like a good pizza and there are Italian dishes I like (ones I cannot make like Sardinian wild boar or squid ink pasta). First, this dining room is gorgeous, the bar space is really nice. Saw a handsome gent in a nice suit sitting at the bar, which was a nice accessory to an already elegant and dare I say sexy bar? I had a drink here and then our party moved to a table when everyone arrived. My colleague did us the favor and ordered some antipasti dishes for us and made good choices. The carpaccio was great (and I loved the grana padano cheese - one that I can have) and also enjoyed the tartara di tonno - which is seared ahi tuna. Both with copious amounts of arugula (my favorite). Great choices as I love raw anything that's well made. Since it was Tuesday, one of my colleagues ordered the pasta trio which is a special for Tuesdays. No idea if it was any good, but colleague cleaned the plate. My other colleague ordered the risotto (which looked great and I love risotto and can make it myself), large portion size and she had a good portion leftover for another meal. I had the branzino in crosta. The portion size for my dish was ridiculous. Fish was decent, but I have had better (in Italy fresh caught). Rooted veggies were probably my favorite (I'm a rabbit and love veggies) and the grilled polenta was so-so. My colleagues ordered panna cotta al limone and it was excellent. I am used to a denser consistency panna cotta and this one was lighter one but well made. I love limoncello or anything with lemons, so this was just lovely. There is only one kind of tiramisu (more pudding style) I like which is made by North Italia and the one here likely was the traditional tiramisu so I declined to get dessert. Overall, a very good choice for a business dinner. Food was good. I deducted one star because I am not much into chain restaurants and prefer to support mom and pop type places. I deducted another star because the service was so SLOW and while we ordered some sparkling for the table, some of us did not get still water and I recall not having much water to drink and its summer. Also, I think the New Yorker in me just doesnt have much patience, but it does seem the cadence here was a different speed I am used to. I'd definitely return to have a few cocktails at the bar, and come back for their HH specials too. This location is in a beautiful setting and I'd come back just to sit at the bar and quietly ogle which cutie might show up...
