“Just dropped off my Slaphapper Wallyhoot to Briskit Öndagrïll over at his place, ..the Strike Three bowling ball factory so he can adjust the gyroscope for me. When I passed by Tony Baloney's I knew right then and there were I was going to eat. I've heard about Tony Baloney's but I've never been, so today I'm going to see if the urban legend is true!
Well, I don't know if they make the best sandwiches in the world..but Sactown for sure is in the top 3!
5 stars all day long. ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Been to this place recently and their food is amazing! My girlfriend and I ordered the spaghetti and meat balls and the chicken Alfredo. The noodles were al dente and the sauce is cooked to perfection. The owner/chef cooks the food with the freshest ingredients. We've eaten here a few times and highly recommend. Better than most italian restaurants in the area! So authentically good!!!“

“What me and my partner got:
Meat and cheese board 4/5
Spicy pepperoni 4/5
Riatore 3.5/5
Nectarine bread pudding 5/5

The server we had was meh, but the food and atmosphere made up for it. Not a bad place if you want something a little more upscale. I'd come here again.“

“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“

“This place has amazing customer service, and the staff are very professional. The prices are also quite affordable, especially since they include a free salad and a breadstick. That said, I found the spaghetti lacking in flavor and a bit tasteless, though the salad was quite good. I’m giving it 4 stars mainly because of the excellent customer service—otherwise, the taste doesn’t really suit me.“

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

“the food and atmosphere were delicious and spectacular.“

“Great service and the food was great. Highly recommend.“

“Spaghetti Factory never disappoints!“

“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.“

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

“Amazing pizza!! They have some great paninis as well. Happy Hour from 3-6 Monday through Friday... Check it out!!“

“Delicious food! The bechamel lasagna was fabulous. Our waitress couldn't have been better - great attitude, wonderful service. Looking forward to another meal!“

“As always, Olive Garden provided good food and lots of it for fair prices. Marissa, our server, was attentive and pleasant. The calamari appetizer, although a bit overdone, was plentiful with enough to take home. The seafood Alfredo was creamy and loaded with tender shrimp and scallops. The carbonara was delicious with shrimp and chicken. And the black tie mousse cake was luscious. We had enough left over for 2 more meals at home.“

“Steve is a great bartender. Always pleasant and attentive. Our wait person Brenda was wonderful. The food is always delicious and spot on. I highly recommend the food there. Enjoy.“

“The pizza tasted amazing. Best I have had in a long time. It is a thinner crust with very good sauce. The service was also very fast. I also tried both desserts and they both tasted really good. The manager was nice enough to put on the France vs. Portugal soccer game for us! This place is a gem. Really 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.“

“Great food & beer. Friendly staff. Great vibe. Seasonal specials will keep us coming back but the pasta and pizza today were perfect!“

“Delicious pizza (we had the heirloom tomatoes with bacon) and it was so hot when I got to take it home and my kids and I were super impressed by the flavors and size. One of the best pizzas in Sacramento.“

“We were so excited to hear about a new pizza spot and couldn't wait to try it! Probably the best decision of my entire life- no, I'm not exaggerating. We were 6 people so this was a perfect amount of food for us. Every single person around the table was VERY impressed. The staff is very nice. Great vision for patrons to enjoy. A unique artisan experience with high quality ingredients.“

“A group of 10 of us just went here for our work dinner & we all loved it! All the appetizers were good especially the Bruschetta. My main pasta course was great & I loved the lemon cake. So good! We just moved to Vernon Street & we will definitely be going back! Awesome having this on our new street. Also the service was really good! Rebecca did great keeping everything running smoothly. Very attentive for a really busy restaurant! Can’t wait to go back & try something else:) Highly recommend this place!“

“My daughter has been at the hospital with my sick infant granddaughter for 3 days now. I ordered her a pizza today through Grubhub. The pizza arrived with a GET WELL SOON message on the inside of the box. Such a sweet and caring touch! Thank you, Delish!!“

“This is the best pizza and pasta-I also want to give a shout out to Anthony, who was very accommodating. Last time I ordered my order was wrong but I had already picked it up, and was at the house.. I called in and he made everything right and i was very pleased with his attitude and costumer service. Very nice staff here.“

“Wonderful pizza, the crust was perfect.“

“My all time favorite pizza place. Unfortunately I moved to the Bay Area when I was a teenager so I can only get it when I come over to Sacramento or driving through to auburn or Reno. The family meal is my jam, garlic chips, (also my all time favorite) Caesar salad, and pepperoni pizza. Every time. Been coming here for 36 years. Wish you guys would come over to the sf peninsula area!“

“I have been coming to Pasquale's since 1975 (original location by Safeway) and am still enjoying it at location #4...my picture is on the wall...from back then. Yesterday it was just the 3 of us tackling an XL pep/sausage and the sauce is even better than I remembered. We were there till closing time. So we took the party elsewhere. Another great time with the helpful staff.“

“this place need help cooking the pizza and offering refunds for poorly cooked food. having a manager on duty, not charging absorbent prices, not having kids run the store.“

“Customer service was awesome!“

“5 stars because the food was great and the customer was great as well ! Got a cheese pizza, wings and bread sticks, everything was great! First time trying, they sent a flyer in the mail for a free large pizza for moving to the neighborhood. Will definitely be coming back ☺️“

“Great Indian fusion pizza. Save yourself some money and call in your order rather then using their website since it adds a bit more to the cost due to third party processing. This tip was given to us by them when we picked up our pizzas. Very friendly staff, quick service, great food. Highly recommended.“

“My husband and I often stopped to eat at Romano's Macaroni Grill when we're in the area. The food is always great and the staff is very friendly and thoughtful. Macaroni Grill is very kid friendly we see families often when we dine here. We recommend trying Macaroni Grill. I'm sure you will love it as we do.“
