    Petrale Sole (good but did contain bones)
    Margot R.

    Overall we had a nice time, but there were a couple of things that didn't go as well. For instance, we ordered the special they served this weekend, Petrale Sole, which is breaded and generally shouldn't have any bones. Unfortunately it did have several. I'm told this fish is usually completely filleted and boneless. It was delicious, but I wasn't expecting to choke on the bones from a beaded fish... The only other issue was that the waitstaff were a bit disorganized and also not back to our table within a reasonable manner. Otherwise, the food was very good, our server was nice, and the place looked clean. I would still try this place again, but I would be careful with bones in fish.

    Alyssa was our Server and did an excellent job of making sure we were all good. We ordered off the happy hour menu. Cocktails and food in a nice lively with music playing atmosphere.

    We are regulars at Tomatina's in Roseville. It's been a rough recovery since the pandemic and this restaurant continued to push forward. Recently they've added several new staff members that are not just on top of it, they really care about their guests. The menu has changed over the years and they always try new things while still serving their staple items. It's definitely the season for dining and togetherness. We enjoy sitting at the bar counter next to their brick oven while chatting to the friendly staff. Stop by with the family or a friend to experience what we already know. Enjoy!

    The Valentine's weekend special

    Always a good time. This is down the street from our house and we go here a lot. The service has been consistently good, the food was yummy and satisfying (the roasted salmon, lemon chicken, garlic rolls, calamari, frutti di mare, Mediterranean salad, are my tired and true go-to's). It's usually pretty chill here, not too loud, and seated quickly!

    I love this place! I happened to come across it randomly one day. I've had their pizza, several types of pasta (some you'll need to add salt to), garlic rolls, and some cocktails. I love that they have a pasta flight (called the Pasta Trio)! They never disappoint. Everything tastes light and fresh. Good food. Good drinks. Good portion sizes. They have a rewards program, too, which is great for your birthday. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The place is clean and quiet. I love the layout. It's very open and bright, despite the dark counters and chairs. You can watch them make pizza in their huge brick oven. I usually go during the day, around 2-4pm and it's never busy. There's plenty of parking available.

    I don't come here often but my friend hasn't been so we came here for dinner. The food was awesome and it wasn't too busy so we were helped quickly. I tried the special which has Chili's, prosciutto, and bucatini pasta. I checked out their happy hour which is 3-7 Monday through Friday and that looked impressive as well. We will be back!

    Happy Hour Menu

    A nice comfortable neighborhood Italian bistro, open until 8 pm during the week. Full bar available. Definitely always busier before 7 pm with the reduced price Happy Hour. Very busy during the Holidays. Consistently great quality food coming from this kitchen. Mamas Meatballs are excellent! Their Calzone stuffed pizza is available with three fillings. You can do an all meat version with prosciutto, Hobbs Salami, and Hobbs Pepperoni. Their Fettucini Alfredo is also good, cheesy, and has nothing in it shouldn't have (like onions, garlic). Their Tiramisu is usually also quite good. Good service after 7 pm, especially with Tim. You can do the whole experience on your phone, from ordering, adding drinks and dessert, to payment. Was very handy right after COVID. Highly recommended for consistent quality Italian.

    Entrees, brick hard rolls, empty water glass
    Ron G.

    We wanted to like this restaurant but they made that difficult. The good was our entrees, chicken and artichoke spaghetti and portobello fettuccine. The bad were the brick hard garlic rolls, the over seasoned minestrone and the service. While our server was friendly she would linger on the line chatting up her co-workers while the dishes collected on our table and my wife's water glass remained unfilled. It was not surprising that the restaurant was only about 10% occupied on what should be a busy Saturday evening. We won't be back.

    Antipasto salad half
    Joye S.

    Staff was minimal but very friendly and attentive. Restaurant was clean and a very nice setting and decor. Nice outdoor space as well. Food was really good and portions sizes were large. Prices were average and very reasonable considering the portion sizes. Great drink selection as well. Have driven by so many times and so glad I finally made it in. So many things on the menu that I will definitely be back to work my way through them!

    Food was amazing!!! I absolutely recommend. Food was flavorful and delicious. Our server was the sweetest and made sure we were taken care of!!

    Had lunch at Tomatina today and they did not disappoint. Service was great. Food was definitely made fresh and delicious! They also have $6 take home pasta if you get an entree. We'll definitely come back.

    Old Fashion and an Espresso Martini
    Giavanna H.

    The ambiance was relaxing. It's a clean establishment you can go on dates at and take your family to. It has a darker, more elegant feel to it because of the rich colors in the interior. Service was pretty good. Though the server forgot our waters and bill after we asked for it, she was still attentive and kind. We did come near closing time and we knew she was trying to begin closing duties and serve us simultaneously. We still think she did a great job. The food was tasty. We got the meatballs for the appetizer and they were flavorful, especially the sauce, and the bread was just the right amount of crisp. For entrees, I had the roasted salmon. Again, the creamy sauce was delicious and the steamed spinach was cooked just right. I wasn't a huge fan of the texture of the salmon. It had the skin on it so I think I'm just not used to eating it with the skin on. All in all, yummy! Definitely try it. For dessert, I ordered the Affogato and it was FREAKIN AMAZING! The whip cream was that good cream. Light, airy, and the right amount of sweet. I can eat a whole bowl of it. Ugh, so good. The gelato was perfect and the shot of espresso was everything. Please get this, you won't regret it. Can't forget the dranks. I doubled down with the espresso martini and it was wonderful. Would definitely get that again. I also enjoyed the old fashion. They gave us more than 1 cherry so extra points for that.

I arrived around 3:45 pm and waited about 15 minutes before going inside at 4:00 pm. The staff was very nice and welcoming, and they even offered focaccia bread and water while I waited, which I appreciated. I ordered two kids pizzas, one with pineapple and one with olives, and specifically asked for extra sauce because my kids like their pizza that way. I was also charged an extra $2 for the toppings, which I paid, but it would have been nice if that had been communicated to me upfront. Unfortunately, after waiting about 40 minutes, the pizzas were very disappointing. My kids immediately said it tasted like cheese bread, and after trying it myself, I agreed. There was barely any sauce at all, which was surprising since I had asked for extra sauce. My kids wouldn't eat it, and I ended up having to take them somewhere else to get pizza. I was really disappointed after driving so far and having high expectations based on the reviews. Unfortunately, I do not recommend this place and will not be returning.

This family joint has great pizza, dozens of American food favorites, healthy salads, a hand made soup of the day, lunch specials, a decent 12 draught beers selection and reasonably priced good quality wines. Sound like a dream? Wake up! It's reality. It's Al's Original. My first ever visit. We ate a Cesar salad, a small pizza, a giant slice of chocolate cake. I'm not a pushover for reasonably priced restaurant food quality. I expect goodness, real flavors. Al's delivers big time! This eatery has been in this same location for 31 years because the food is way above average, is reasonably priced, has a pleasant dining room and the servers are great. Friendly, kind, helpful, cheerful. Bambie & I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner tonight. We had some left overs to bring home. Oh boy, reheated pizza for breakfast! Love you Al's.

Bottom line is, I can't recommend it. It all started out just fine. It was a beautiful day, perfect for sitting out on OAR's patio. It's certainly not much of a view, as you're quite literally part of the parking lot. But the chairs were very comfortable, and even though there's a large garbage can adjacent to the eating area, it generally seemed clean. It all began in a way that led us to think this was going to be a great experience. We were met by one of the most pleasant and helpful servers ever - Tami. She was terrific, and she explained a bit about the history of OAR, and it's recent name changeover from Pete's to Al's. We started with the included salads. Mrs. had the house salad with blue cheese dressing; I had the Caesar. Both salads were surprisingly large and excellent. Larger than we expected, with cold, crisp ingredients and top-notch dressings. Totally enjoyable. 5-star. Because we were first-timers, we over-ordered a bit so we could taste several dishes. We ordered the fried calamari. Tami correctly assured us the coating was crisp, and it was. The problem was the calamari itself. It was tough and chewy, not particularly pleasant or tasty. After our 5-star salads, the calamari was a 3. Then came the mains. Mrs. had the shrimp linguini, which she pronounced: "good." The shrimp and pasta were cooked to just the right textures. We took home the leftovers. The dish was a solid 4. I had a full slab of the St. Louis ribs, and honestly, and sadly, they were a disaster. They arrived barely above room temperature. They were so tough that even with the provided sharp steak knife, cutting off an individual rib was difficult. The BBQ sauce was mediocre, and slathered atop a cold slab of tough pork ribs, the dish simply should never have been served. I'm guessing it was prepared yesterday and kept overnight in the refrigerator, but who knows? You do not want to order the ribs. I tried two ribs and left the rest on the table to be cleared away. I'd give them 1.5 on Yelp's 5-star scale. I don't want to dwell on a negative experience. There are quite a few positive Yelp reviews that make me think there might have been an explanation for our experience. But the tab with a 20% tip was $105.66, and I'm not willing to risk returning.
