“First time here and will definitely be back. Friendly staff and good food. Great environment.“

“Outstanding service... Even better food!“

“It had been a long time since we had been to Tony Baloney’s. This is definitely an establishment in the region and is a down to earth/hole in the wall environment. This was one of my grandfather’s favorite places to grab a sandwich especially their pepper steak sandwich. We highly recommend a pepper steak sandwich with some of the Carolina sauce on it. Delish!“

“Excellent food and excellent service. Highly recommend!“

“Not sure exactly where to start but this restaurant has some serious customer service issues and that's just one category we were very disappointed in. We ordered online last night to try it out as we saw so many great reviews for the food so we broke from tradition and on my birthday we decided to eat here. All we ordered was a Helen, Cheese Fondue, and the Meatball rigatoni. I received an email stating the food would be ready in about 45 minutes. We left 35 minutes later as it's only up the street from where we live. As we arrive we noticed it's a little corner spot with patrons and appears to be more of a quaint little sit down restaurant and my wife and I thought maybe next time we just come in instead of take out. We stood there for about 2-3 minutes and then guy yells from across the room that he will be with us in a minute. He didn't seem to have anything he was really doing but ok. So finally an older guy comes over and asks us if we have been helped. We told him we were there to pick up our order, and he says he will go check on it. After a few minutes he comes back and says he tried to call us (no record of any missed calls on my phone) and that the rigatoni with meatballs was not available and he wasn't sure how it let us order that online. We don't know either and we definitely know you didn't try calling us to tell us that. Anyways he provided the option for a refund or to make my wife another dish. He mentioned shrimp scampi as the alternative, now the rigatoni was $25 a plate and they didn't even have shrimp scampi on the menu so I was skeptical since usually if they make something good it would be on their menu. So we waited for another 10 minutes for this SCAMpi. I capitalize scam because that's exactly how we felt when they tried to give us this alternative dish and we looked at it. I wish I had taken a picture of what they brought out for $25.... It was literally a small portion of large macaroni noodles, and no more than maybe 6-7 small chunks of shrimp in some greasy sauce that looked totally unseasoned... Gross. I wouldn't feed anything that dish and they should have never tried to replace a main dish like that with something as disappointing as what we received. So I took the container back into the restaurant as we hadn't left the parking lot as I wanted to see first just what they felt was comparable to the $25 we just spent. I found the guy who helped us and just explained that we wanted the refund and the scampi was not acceptable. He said ok and said right after that the refund was already processed. Now to the other food. The pizza was $23 and the cheese fondue was $13. Normally $23 for a pizza isn't crazy, but this was literally the size of a medium if that, and was extremely bare of ingredients. It taste pretty good, but wasnt worth the money at all. I don't eat a lot, and I was able to eat half of this pizza alone without even blinking. The cheese fondue was ok but not memorable. So now today I get up and take a look at my bank account to see if the refund was actually processed, and what do I see? Instead of a refund, I was charged again for that SCAMpi and not actually refunded! I wouldn't dine here again with the lack of customer service, value, and lack of integrity. I will be going back in again to get this straightened out and am not happy about it.“

“Flatbread was amazing! Fantastic local restaurant who really helps local community!“

“Just finished dinner. Had salmon with asparagus and roasted potato. It was excellent. The service couldn't t have been better as my water glass was never empty. refilled 3 or 4 times. Would definitely recommend.“

“Recently my wife and I stopped by Petali Italian Restaurant. We were delighted to find this gem of Italian cuisine! The owners Mike and Vic, were gracious and friendly. The food was superb! The decor is inviting and creates a relaxing atmosphere. We will make this restaurant our go to spot for amazing Italian food. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️RATING“

“the food and atmosphere were delicious and spectacular.“

“This location provides awesome customer service. Reception, manager and staff were friendly and check in with you constantly. Our server Alexa and Heidi ensured our food was delivered on time. They replaced the calamari as it was too salty to my preference with no issue . Suggested the new spicy honey chicken and it was great . I really think it should be on their menu forever. Manager came to check in with us as well . Well this is how I remembered Olive Garden used to be previously in the Bay Area as well . I’m pleasantly surprised that this location still upholds the standard. Food was delicious too. Thank you“

“The Service (Leah) was outstanding & our food (chicken & dumplings and the lasagna special) was AMAZING“

“I go to this place every week and its always good I've gotten breakfest brunch lunch and dinner. I come here the 2nd it opens. It has a very good adult menu and kids menu with mazes drawings and a good selection of crayons with mazes and word crosses. It does have infinite bread sticks and infinite refills and infinite soups. Bathroom is good too its sink is very high quality.

Tables are conformable however the name is Olive Garden it has nothing to do with olives or gardens and its not an Olive Garden neither is it a Garden for Olives nothing in the back is related to that.“

“First time at the Sunrise Olive Garden. Food is always good especially my favorite the Shrimp Alfredo. But what impressed me the most was that the Chef came out and introduced herself and ask how was the meal. Very swanky!! Thank you Olive Garden..more restaurants should have their Chef's do the same..“

“Spaghetti Factory never disappoints!“

“They have the best soup!! And I love the Spumoni💜“

“I love their meals! The amount of money I’m saving because I’m no longer door dashing is embarrassing lol. Food is great and convenience is incredible. I’ve also been losing weight, because I’ve got a healthier option, and I split the meals into two sometimes! Wish they had vegetarian options, but I’m really happy overall.“

“One Star- The food was not what I expected. The flavors of Italy was not there. The seafood pasta- clams and Musscles, we undercooked, shrimp and scallops were low quality and bland. 0 flavor. Sauce was very lacking in flavor. Couldn't tell if there was garlic in it or not. The bread had a distinct hint of burnt flavor on the back of my tounge. Not sure if you need to request bread or parmesan or what but I saw lots of people getting extra service. I definitely won't be back and maybe thats the point of giving some folks bad food or service is so their kind won't come back? Who knows but mission accomplished. I nor anyone I know will be back.“

“Chad was our server last night! He was so sweet, talkative and service was exceptional! My bsf and I were coming off from work and wanted to get a good bite to talk! He was amazing and coming from people in food service, he really set the bar and was the best server from all of my experiences at this location! Thank you so much! Definitely take his section!“

“Went out for a relaxing dinner and found Skipolinis and were very pleased with all aspects of this welcoming restaurant. Service was great and dishes very good and plentiful. We plan to return with our family soon. TRY THEM!!!!“

“This is my favorite pizza place. I love the sauce because it's not too acidic and has a slight hint of sweetness. They cook my favorite pizza just the way I ask them to: crust golden not brown.

The cheese is perfect and so are the Canadian bacon and mushrooms. I always order a large with Canadian bacon and mushrooms and they always make it perfectly!

On top of that, the staff is so friendly and helpful. Awesome people! Delivery guys are wonderful and always bring my pizza in a timely manner. It's never cold!

To the management, you have great workers! Thank you all for being the best pizza makers! I will always be a loyal customer!

If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend it. Great place!“

“Our go-to restaurant for wonderful Italian food, great cocktails & wine and friendly staff. A true gem, Classy and comfortably elegant.“

“As always enjoyed my meal and was happy that my all-time favorite server was working. My Husband Barry and I spent almost every Saturday night having our meal here it was our favorite place. Went with my friend last night and was happy to get Amy to serve us. She was covering a vacation for another server. Having her at our table brought back many happy memories of Barry and my past. He passed away last year, and I miss him so much. The food was great as always and the company of having Amy serving us made the night perfect. We shared many happy memories. I hope to visit again soon for a great meal and the outstanding service that Amy offered. Thank you for the great food and friendly service“

“This is our go to place when we don’t feel like cooking. Love them and love their food.“

“This food is authentic and amazing!!! 10 stars!“

“They have the best soup!! And I love the Spumoni💜“

“Contemporary atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food! We enjoyed a selection of craft brews, the beet salad with buratta, the Brescia wood-fired pizza, and affogato for dessert. Dining at the bar, we enjoyed a spirited conversation with Tyler. It was a delightful evening!“

“Max was absolutely fantastic! From the moment my son and I walked in, we were greeted with a huge smile and a warm welcome. He took the time to introduce us to the menu and recommended the happy hour specials, which we happily ordered.

This was honestly some of the best service we’ve ever experienced. Max was attentive throughout our visit, kept our drinks filled, and even suggested adding a side of mushrooms to our pizza, which was delicious!

We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was incredibly personable. We spent some time chatting, which made the experience feel even more welcoming.

I’m so glad we found this hidden gem! We’ll definitely be back—for the live music, after-school dinners, and even a midday snack after haircut appointments. Keep up the amazing work, and thank you for the outstanding service and delicious pizza!

*Maybe get some arcades in the future since we will be regulars! Lol😝“

“I recommend all of it there tiramisu is off the hook the employees are top-of-the-line and had nothing but the best experience since I’ve been there I’ll go back always and tell my friends about it“

“We stop at Marilyn’s Pizza all the time and absolutely love it! 🍕 They have so many creative pizza selections, and every one we’ve tried has been amazing. The crust is perfectly crisp and flavorful—truly to die for! Highly recommend to any pizza lover.“

“I rarely give out 5 stars but this place is all around great. Service is on point. Vibes are great. My panchetta with thick Canadian bacon was delicious. Best I have ever had. Focacia bread was wonderful. Beet and goat 🐐 cheese salad very refreshing. Wasn't terribly expensive. Definitely recommend. Fun date night spot or friends hanging out. Will definitely be back.“

“While we enjoyed the pizza at this place, they are indeed closed permanently. At 4:00 pm the other day, they did not open and then we saw through the windows all the tables and chairs had been removed. Since there was no signage outside to indicate they were closed, I searched the internet and found an article from mid December, 2025 that they were closing permanently on 12/31/2025.“

“Wonderful pizza, the crust was perfect.“

“You know I don't give 5s but I tell ya. I walked into this pizza place on a whim and boy oh boy was I impressed!! I have NEVER found or understood the whole New York concept of folding your pizza over until now. My goodness the pizza experience elevated immensely.

The crust with the sauce and pepperoni all flowed and literally melted in my mouth. I always sprinkled red pepper and parmessan but this pizza didnt even need it.

There was a family that came in while I was waiting and they decided to leave. I know they are kicking themselves because this pizza is IT!!

Met the Owner's and they added even more to the pleasant experience with their customer service. I'll definitely get to Sac to try again!“

“Remarkable and wildly underrated! If you havemt yet you should give this place a try. Made with love and kindness and fast! The best in the area! Blessed to have an establishment in this part of town! Can't say enough about how great it is!“

“The food was delicious, service was perfect and the ambiance was lovely. This place is always a great choice. 😊“

“Once again I am never disappointed! Food and staff are amazing!“

“Great food great atmosphere“

“It’s been a while since we’ve been to The Place, and it will now become a part of our regular places in Roseville. The food and service are excellent. The Place has an old and authentic Italian feel about it. We started with the seasonal caprese salad, which included heirloom tomatoes, and it was wonderful. The rosemary focaccia bread is amazing, and hard to not fill up on it before our pasta. We had the Macceroni e Formaggio and added meatballs and the Boscaiola add Italian sausage. Both were delicious and large servings, leftovers were plenty for another meal. Pretty much everything on the menu looks great. Good selection of wine, beer, and craft cocktails. Next time we’re going to split a salad and pizza; they have a wonderful selection of Neapolitan-style pizza. Overall, a great experience. I highly recommend The Place and encourage making reservations. Enjoy!!“

“Great food from this company in general but when I came to this location specifically the asian dude who helped me really hooked me up mentioning i could upgrade to a meal deal and actualy save money on my pizza so I got a soda and paid less.
What a Chad.
We need more hard workers like him.“

“Went there for my birthday dinner. The food was so good and the service was great.“

“I stayed at the Exchange for two nights and ate breakfast twice and lunch once. The food was great but the star of the show was Johnny - the server. What a gem of a human! So hospitable, helpful, and kind. Best service I’ve had in a long time.“

“Customer service was awesome!“

“Five stars all the way friendly service a few tables inside for seating, came in and ordered ahead and went to the gym across the street got medium combo and chicken Fresco. Everything very fresh I really like the dough and cheese stretched with every slice. I would be back again definitely recommend.“

“I am an old lady who is not pizza fan but must say this place pizza is very good. I went with my grandkids to celebrate Christmas Eve and I can say they didn't disappoint. They have this handsome young man working there who really have work ethics. Great food and great people.“

“The last 4 times I've ordered pizza for the kids have been from Pizza Twist. This is a new favorite and my new go to for a quick pizza. The place is welcoming and the staff is pleasant. The pizza itself is amazing. Personally, I think this pizza is much better than Round Table Pizza or Mt. Mike's, for a more reasonable price.

Vegetarian options: You can have them build a pizza the way you like.
