OK, I'm going to be honest here. When you come from LA, you have been exposed to the best of the best so you are a bit more critical. Not sad after spending a few days in Sacramento I would say that this was probably the best place they they had. The restaurant was very cute and it was a vibe, but the food was honestly pretty mid. It wasn't bad but it definitely wasn't anything mind blowing. And we went safe with pizza, pasta, and meatballs. The cocktails were really good though. And the service was good. I would say if you are in Sacramento this is probably one of the best places you're going to find. So my rating of 4 is more so compared to other places in Sacramento. read more

What was supposed to be a fun dining experience to celebrate a belated Mother's Day was ruined by a rude hostess. We were 15 mins late to our 6pm reservation and understood that we would now be treated as a walk in guest. The hostess was extremely rude and told us that they have a 15 min late policy and that we could get a drink at the bar while we wait for our table. She said it would be about a 15 min wait for a table to open up. The bar was already over crowded with several other people waiting for a table. I also overheard another group of women saying they missed their table and were waiting to be seated. There was really no place to wait or stand, it is clearly a fire hazard to have so many people blocking the enterance/exit. Even the bartender was struggling to get around everyone blocking the walk way. After about 10 mins, I asked my husband if they took down our name for the waitlist. When he went back to confirm, a different hostess said that it's now a 30 min wait and that we weren't added to the waitlist when we first walked in.... The first hostess was so quick to dismiss us for missing our reservation, she didn't even put our names down. We would have been happy to wait if she wasn't so rude and dismissive. We decided to leave after it kept getting more and more crowded and had a MUCH better dining experience at Zocalo. Recommend reading all the bad reviews here before dinning here - there's a lot that point out poor customer service. read more

My significant other and I came here on a Monday night for a date night! We had no reservation and got here around 7pm and were seated immediately! The interior was nice, it felt very classy and kinda old timey? but i loved it and they also had little bag stands you can ask for, for the girlies who would like to hang their bags! so cute! Our server, Andrea, was very nice and attentive! She came around and checked up on us multiple times and recommended a few items on the menu that we might enjoy and she was able to answer all of our questions! Thank you Andrea for having such good energy and providing a good experience! We got: - Foccacia bread: I wasn't sure if I liked this bread or not at first, there was an herb in it that I couldn't identify but it reminded me of vietnamese pho! I ended up enjoying it and I really liked the side cheese with it. My s/o didn't really care for it and I do wish it came out warm! That would have made it ten times better. - Affrogato: My cute s/o didn't realize that affrogato is coffee and vanilla ice cream and we both aren't the biggest coffee drinkers at all so we both personally enjoyed the ice cream more then with the coffee I got: - Short Rib Raviloli: This was tonight's special menu and I was so glad I got it! It was super good, packed with flavor, and not too heavy and the sauce that was all over the plate was good! My s/o got: - New York Steak: He gave me a bite of the steak and what can i say? it was a perfectly cooked and seasoned steak and he enjoyed it too It was a perfect start to our date night and I definitely want to come back during the day time because the outside looks gorgeous!! read more

First time at Paragarys! Love the lowlit, romantic ambience. Indoor and outdoor! The holiday decorations were so fun. Cocktails were delicious and refreshing! Was hoping for some sweet holiday themed ones tho! I believe our server's name was Lamar? I'm not sure but he was so great! So hospitable and helpful. Truly great. Started off so strong with the mussels omg so good that broth!!! The mac and cheese, broccolini and pizza yum!!! Was hoping for the pizza to have a sauce though I don't believe it did. Enjoyed the wine list! And our server helped me out with tasters! That dessert was truly the most special thing I had, I think about it all the time. Fudge and honeycomb and delicious ice cream. Something really special in that oh my!! read more

My family was in Sacramento and wanted a place that served scallops. This popped up and we decided to give it a try. Brass tax- $358 with apps, food, and drinks. Ambiance- 10/10- super cute Service- 8/10- attentive Drinks- wine, old fashions, Lavender Lemondrops- 7/10 Food- Caesar Salad- 1/10- very little or no dressing- just horrible; Mussels- zesty and quite good- 8/10; Halibut entree- fish was overcooked and it was in a broth so was that dryness was covered up a bit- 4-5/10. Scallops- pasta that came with it was a dry, sticky mess- 0/10; Scallops were 6/10 from my wife, but 3/10 from me. Mine were salty and gritty. Her's were better, but not memorable. Dessert- Creme Brûlée Cheesecake- 10/10 Pricey for the quality that was put out. This was not worth it. Would I go back?...nope. read more

WHAT WE GOT: Hand cut Rose Mary Pappardelle, Muscovy Duck Leg Confit, Oven roasted meatballs. I had the pappardelle last time and was tempted to try something new but so glad i didn't! It was good with the pancetta and artichoke! A balanced and filling meal. No notes! My Fiance got the Duck, it was very tender no need for a knife. The Apples were a nice touch. He did say something about the wild rice had an odd after taste, but to each their own. Overall very satisfied with our choices. AMBIANCE/SERVICE: Very romantic! candlelit made it extra intimate. We always love the service, very kind waitress, i believe her name was Leah/Lea. I will say our food did take a while to come out but it was a Friday night at 8PM. I would recommend a reservation for Fri/Saturdays. Parking is limited so accommodate time to find parking. Spent about $107, including a glass of wine. read more

I've always heard of Paragary's but never got around to going until now. I was hesitant because I dislike difficult street parking, especially on the weekend. Thankfully, I was able to snag a spot in the small free parking lot across the street. My friends ended up having to find street parking a little ways down, even early at 10:30 a.m. We had brunch reservations, which you can easily make online via OpenTable. My first impression was how cute and vibey the restaurant is, even more so in the back outdoor area. I loved all the greenery, waterfall fountains, and the fireplace. It's a very pretty spot for brunch, and the outdoor heating lamps make it cozy on a chilly morning. I also appreciated the bag hooks at every table. Service was excellent. Our server checked on us at all the right times, and we never felt rushed. Our drinks didn't all arrive at the same time, but at least our food did. I had a peach bellini and had no complaints. For food, I ordered my usual eggs benedict, which I like to get at any brunch spot. It was good and standard, tasting as expected. What would make me want to come back is to enjoy the outdoor seating again, though I am not sure I would go out of my way to return because of the parking and for average breakfast food, which didn't quite feel worth the price. Or maybe come back to try lunch or dinner. Regardless, it is a nice restaurant and a chill place for brunch with girlfriends. read more

Visited on a Sunday morning for brunch! No wait and we were sat outside for our first time! The ambiance was nice! It's a must to sit outside for the experience. In terms of food. I ordered an iced vanilla latte and we had almond cake to start. The seasonal scramble came with potatoes and sourdough bread alongside some bacon. My bf ordered steak and eggs that's also came with potatoes! Service was great. Sweet staff. Food was yummy as well. I think the potatoes were my favorite thing and the jam for the sourdough was sooo good. I'd want to come here and try dinner for sure! Come here if you haven't yet read more

We were served by Richard today. It was our first time at Paragarys. I always saw it on TikTok however never got the chance to go. We came for my boyfriend's birthday! We had the Brussel Sprouts and Salad as appetizers. The brussel sprouts were really outstanding. I was pretty surprised. The salad was not my cup of tea, I like my lettuce crunchy, it was more of a butter lettuce. We had the finger potatoes and it was tasty and savory. The Mac and cheese was def more for my boyfriend than I. I had the ragu, which was my favorite! Also to my surprised the ravioli was really good as well. Thank you Richard for giving us an amazing experience. You were very friendly and knowledgeable. You are also very attentive! We appreciate you and will be back! read more

I've only ever been to Paragary's for brunch, and this was the first time I had gone during the winter when the patio was closed, and sat inside. While we love the patio dining, we also had a great experience inside. The food is delicious and brunch cocktails are tasty. Service was a bit slow but maybe they had some call outs the day we were there. read more

Service: great, wonderful server Food: I wasn't impressed and it was overpriced for the portion sizes Focaccia - the stracciatella cheese on the side was wonderful! The flaky salt was sprinkled unevenly and excessively on the bread, so I got mouthfuls of salt. That wasn't pleasant. Lamb Ragu - I was expecting something richer since ragu is typically a rich, slow-cooked, meat-based sauce. The sauce was more of a soup, very liquid-y, almost like broth. It had an ok amount of flavor, probably the best compared to the rest of the dishes we tried. Sea urchin pasta: This one was quite bland Not pictured: lemon ravioli that my sister ordered. First thought was "wow there's 6, how is that an entree?" drink: can't go wrong with alcohol! read more

Huge disappointment. Service was crap, food was bland. Servers were not attentive at all. We ordered 4 mains and paid $300... not worth it all. Only thing they got going for them is that they are aesthetically nice to look at. Also, the chicken dish I ordered was so bland u had to add salt and pepper myself for some flavor. Honestly wish we had gone to Olive Garden instead. They're always 10/10 in every aspect! Save your money and time, don't go here. read more

Paragary's - Hand cut rosemary pappardelle - New American Near Me - Sacramento, California

We've come for dinner before and wanted to check out their weekend brunch! The vibes are great as always, the staff is so nice. Reservations were easy to make on OpenTable and the waitress even double checked allergens that were on my profile. Parking was pretty easy; Paragary's is in Midtown so sometimes you have to search for a spot, but today the weather was great and we parked on the street two blocks away. There are parking garages that are closer but we didn't mind the walk. The savory and sweet options were delicious, we had egg scramble with potatoes, huevos rancheros, orange cardamom French toast, and the lemon ricotta pancake. Loved their cappuccino as well. I'm vegetarian and they had lots of options and were able to make substitutions. We will definitely be back to try the garden patio in the spring! Overall perfect for a casual or special occasion. We saw a table setting up for a galentine's event which looked pretty cute! read more

Heard so many good things about this restaurant and wanted to take my friend out for a cute birthday dinner, but I think it was a miss :( Appetizers: * Wood oven roasted mussels ($20) 5/5 - Favorite thing we ate! The garlic lemon butter white wine sauce was divine. Loved having the lightly buttered toast to soak up the sauce! * Oven roasted meatballs ($17) 3.5/5 - meatballs were nice and fluffy. I personally do not like that much ricotta but my friend does, so he really enjoyed it Appetizer (remix) * Prosciutto & taleggio pizza ($22) 4/5 - niceeeee large slices of prosciutto! Can never go wrong with a prosciutto and arugula pairing tbh. -1 point because the center of the pizza was a tad soggy. Could probably benefit from being baked a lil longer! Entrees: * Fettuccine & Santa Barbara sea urchin pasta ($30) 2/5 - this was majorly disappointing :( it seemed like this was prepped first and left out to dry because there was very little sauce and the pasta was all glooped together. I liked the flavor of the uni and the sauce but there was soooo little of it * Hand-cut rosemary pappardelle ($28) 3.5/5 - nice and creamy! The hand cut pasta had a great texture and it held the sauce well. I liked the flavor of the leek/artichoke/cream sauce but the chicken was pan-seared too much that it was dryyyyyyyy Drinks: * Paragary's '83 ($15.50) 4/5 - nice and refreshing to sip * Spicy blood orange margarita ($16.50) 3.5/5 - a little too sweet for me * Cabin in the woods ($16.50) - a little too manly for me LOL * Porchlight 'Lazer Blowfish' Hazy IPA ($9) - standard beer, ordered it to feel a buzz lol Service was great! Our server was friendly, timed out our courses, and took photos for us at the end of the night. I looove the patio dining and I think it's such a cute place for a date or a special event meal, so I hope future visits would be better! read more

TL;DR Trendy spot with a stylish patio, but the outdoor experience was rough, long wait despite a reservation and no shade in the summer heat. Friendly service and decent food, but overall the comfort didn't match the vibe. --- Came here with a group of six and made a reservation specifically for outdoor seating. The patio is visually appealing and has a trendy vibe, but it can get uncomfortably hot, especially during the summer months in Sacramento. When we arrived, the staff was friendly and welcoming. However, we were told that none of the outdoor tables were available despite our reservation. They mentioned a group was about to leave, so we agreed to wait. That wait ended up lasting about 45 minutes, which was longer than expected given how soon they said the table would be available. Once seated, we found that our table was about 80 percent exposed to direct sunlight. In Sacramento's summer heat, that made things really uncomfortable. Every other outdoor table had an umbrella, but unfortunately, ours did not, and the staff was unable to provide one. Four out of the six of us were visibly overheated, which took away from the overall dining experience. On a positive note, our server was attentive and did a great job walking us through the menu. Food took a little longer to come out, but that was understandable given how busy the restaurant was. When it finally arrived, the dishes tasted fine but didn't stand out. I would describe the food as solid but unmemorable. Overall, this spot seems to prioritize aesthetics over substance. If you're looking for a stylish setting with decent food and don't mind sacrificing a bit of comfort, it might work for you. Personally, I left wishing the experience matched the ambiance. read more

My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. It was a little chilly inside but our drinks definitely warmed us up. The seasonal sangria had a perfect fruity flavor and wasn't too strong. The meatballs came quickly and were delicious. They were paired with charred bread and sauced with marinara with a generous amount of parmesan. Reminded me of a pizza. The salmon was cooked to perfection-- tender and juicy. However, there was a large lack of flavor in the dish. I wished the lentils and salmon had a little more... spice (at least salt). My boyfriend thought the rigatoni was decent, but wasn't anything special (which is how I would describe the whole meal). read more

Paragary's - Two eggs breakfast - New American Near Me - Sacramento, California

This place is great for weekend brunch. It's been a while since I've been to Bacon & Butter, but I think the brunch here is just as tasty. Which is to say that it's among the best in town. There's no parking lot, so you need to find somewhere to park on the street. The restaurant itself wasn't busy when I arrived at 10a. And it didn't seem busy when I left either. They can accommodate large parties. - drip coffee: solid coffee - Pumpkin French toast: this was fantastic. It was nice and light. Not greasy at all. Not overly sweet. This is what I want when I order French toast. Probably among the best I've had. - Breakfast burrito: very enjoyable. Classic flavors done well. Nice and filling. - breakfast potatoes: these are served with many of the dishes (including inside the breakfast burrito). Delightfully crispy in the outside while creamy on the inside. Yummy seasoned salt. - bacon: I had a strip of bacon and it's good! Yes, bacon is always good, but despite its ordinary appearance, it was light and crispy even though I thought it was going to be a lot more chewy. I saw some complaints on other reviews about the speed of service. I was with a large party and was chatting away so I wasn't in a rush. I don't recall the food taking an unusually long amount of time. And our waiter checked on us at least twice while we were eating. The interior is nice. It has kind of an old timey ambiance in a good way. it's classy and clean. I'll definitely return for brunch. And I'm now very interested in dinner. The only question I have on my mind for brunch is whether I stray from the excellent dishes I already, or is I stick with the tried and true. read more

Food is consistently good, atmosphere is also lovely. Biggest reason for my low review is their management policies. We brought in a small individual Nothing but Bundt cake to celebrate a birthday.

So frustrating. read more

Paragary Restaurant was a complete disappointment. From the moment I walked in, the host was unpleasant and unwelcoming, setting the tone for a bad experience. Customers are clearly not valued or treated with care here. The service may look polite on the surface, but it's actually subtly rude and dismissive. There's no warmth, no effort--just an attitude that makes you feel like you don't matter. The food is where it really falls apart. It doesn't taste fresh or high quality at all--it feels artificial, like it was made in a lab instead of a kitchen. The eggs were especially bad. I've been eating eggs since 1977, and I've never seen anything like that before. The texture was like paste, almost like Play-Doh, not real eggs. Please watcg video attached. That alone was enough to question everything else coming out of the kitchen. On top of that, the breakfast menu is extremely limited--only about five options--which feels lazy and uninspired. Overall, this place misses on every level: poor service, unpleasant staff, and food that doesn't feel real. I would not recommend it to anyone. read more

I checked out Paragary's for brunch. They are a longtime fixture in the midtown area. Friendly service and lots of great flavors on a very busy Saturday afternoon during Mother's Day weekend. Started off with a couple of spicy Bloody Marys. For brunch we went with the Huevos Rancheros - two eggs sunny-side up · corn tortillas · black beans · roasted tomato sauce · house chorizo · avocado and the Spinach & Mushroom Quiche - flaky pastry · bloomsdale spinach · maitake mushroom · goat cheese · mixed greens. read more

Shoutout moms! We dined at Paragary's for mother's day! The place itself is super cute, we got drinks at the bar before our table was ready. Once we finally got to our table, the time between ordering and getting our food was quite long. It seemed like we were there for a while. For the price, the food wasn't all that. It was good, but not $89 a person good. Especially considering the wait between courses. It was a little chilly outside and the food got cold fairly quick. :( It was a yummy dinner but we left a tad disappointed. The dessert was the best part for sure, all of it was BOMB.

Came here in a Tuesday evening for dinner with my mentor. We made a reservation, and l would recommend you do the same because this restaurant gets packed. We started with the roasted mushroom soup, which was a special, and it was delicious. Warm and creamy! Then we got the hand cut rosemary pappardelle pasta and duck for entrees to share. Both were delicious but the pasta was my favorite dish of the night. Perfect texture and flavor. We ended the meal with a fig basque cheesecake, which was an amazing sweet treat to end the night!

We had a pretty huge group so we were kind of squished so I don't recommend this place for any party bigger than 8 or just know you may be really crammed. read more

Came for a work event and was so surprised! We started with the focaccia - so good but wish they brought out more bowls of the oil and vinegar mix because it was awkward at such a large table. We then had the option of chicken or salmon. I went with the salmon and it was SO GOOD! The skin was thin and perfectly crispy and the salmon was cooked perfectly- the puree underneath the fish was delish and the rest of the veggies added a little sweetness. Absolutely loved it. For dessert, we had the flourless chocolate cake- wow. Super decadent. Reminded me of Ferrero roche In terms of drinks- asked the bar tender for a refreshing mocktail and they came up with something that tasted exactly like a white linen but without the gin! Perfect The private room that was booked was spacious- it was pretty loud with the door open though and I wasn't a fan of the barn doors because they let a lot of noise in read more

This time we ordered the rosemary focaccia and Cesar salad to start with.

Paragary's continues to be one of the most solid spots in Sacramento. The outside patio is absolutely beautiful--cozy, and perfect for dining. The temperature was VERY hot out the night we went and we hesitated sitting outside ~ but patio was cooled off by some fans and under the lights and trees it was perfect. The food is consistently excellent. We enjoyed the wood-fired pizza and the seasonal pasta, both full of fresh flavors and perfectly prepared. We passed on the dessert but the table next to us did not and it looked AMAZING! Cocktails are a highlight here--excellent, creative, and unique, making the whole dining experience feel special. It really strikes the balance between classy and comfortable, and it's always a reliable choice. Highly recommend! read more

Very good vibes inside and the staff is beyond helpful. The food was great we got the two egg breakfast with bacon and the deluxe burger with fries.

I visited this restaurant recently and was met with one of the most unwelcoming experiences I've had dining out. When my family walked in, the hostess looked at us and said there was no room despite the restaurant being visibly empty. No apology, no offer to check availability, just a dismissive attitude from start to finish. We left without being seated and won't be returning. A hostess sets the tone for the entire dining experience, and this one made it clear our business wasn't wanted. Management should be aware that this kind of treatment drives customers away and reflects poorly on an otherwise potentially great establishment. read more
