“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!

“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!!!“

“So good, have been here a few times now and everything we have tried has not disappointed. Tonight we were surprised my our daughter kids meal, she had the grilled chicken and fries and honestly was some of the best chicken I've had in years my daughter loved it. Everyone meals were wonderful the ravioli is delightful! The food is just so well balanced and so surprising and great. We will be Dinning here more often.

Vegetarian options: Impossible lasagna was great, at least 5 or so veggie friendly options.“

“the food and atmosphere were delicious and spectacular.“

“Ordered Scampi with angel hair pasta. Found it very dry, lacking any flavor, very bland. Needs more garlic and sauce. Fixed it at home by adding olive oil, parmesan, and tons of gatmic.Slight salt and pepper.
Service by an Asian waitstaff was friendly and ourstanding. Atmosphere was great,and thed wonderfulchickenn gnocchi soup was hot and full of flavor. Breadsticks were warm, average. Kindly add more sauce and flavor to Scampi pasta dish. I'm not sure if all other pasta dishes are bland. I went there on Nov.11th, 2024, a holiday around 2 to 330pm. Bathroom was clean. Enjoy! Thank you.

Parking: Citrus Heights, CA on Sunrise Blvd.

Kid-friendliness: My friend's birthday that day, They gave us a complimentary piece of chocolate cake. Option to have a candle. She said no, to candle. The cake was great, rich and not too sweet.“

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

“Wonderful, dining experience! Delicious food! Wonderful service and a beautiful atmosphere❣️“

“Good food overall. Service was good. They were out of the craft beer we wanted but a sufficient alternative. Even though it was semi empty in the restaurant expected more from the many wait servers who seemed to be hanging around. Bathrooms need some work as wallpaper hanging off walls. Not sure what is going on with this restaurant as far as management goes but we have enjoyed it more in the past!“

“Spaghetti Factory never disappoints!“

“ask for Able to be your server he is absolutely amazing hands-down he made our experience the best it could’ve ever been. The food was perfect. The restaurant is extremely clean great drinks, amazing decor, extremely comfortable, and very large enough for a big parties. I absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone living in the area or visiting, conveniently located with great around the building parking.“

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

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

“Me and my boyfriend went out on a date here and our server Jason was awesome. He was very friendly and handled everything very well. The food did take a little while longer then expected but over all this is a great place with nice staff and a wonderful atmosphere“

“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.“

“Not only affordable but everyone there is so nice! They accidentally made my crust on the thinner side (I didn’t mind tbh) but they told me to grab a free 2L on the house…what?!? Not saying they do this every time lol but it still is appreciated“

“The chicken breast with mushrooms sauce with the butter brown sauce pasta was to freaking die for...WOW!!!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Great food and even better service! Shoutout to Susanne for the top tier care! I recommend the braised short rib and mushroom ravioli and the tagliatelle bolognese, both were excellent with fresh noodles.The moscato was one of the best I’ve ever enjoyed.“

“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.“

“Move sitting on the patio near the palm trees. Italian combo is the best! Cheesesteak sub superb. So much in the deli you will be amazed!! Clean, comfortable seating and delicious food. Being a Jersey Girl I know a great sandwich and Italian food!!“

“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!“

“I recently found Strings in doordash and decided to give it a try. My family and I came in today for Dinner and to start off we had an amazing waitress/service that gave us so many options to try from one of their favorites, we had three amazing and delicious plates that all came with a soup or a salad and BREAD?. All this food for such an affordable price and with this economy they definitely know how to price their plates. We will definitely be coming back to try all the dishes they have.“

“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.“

“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 ☺️“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Customer service was awesome!“

“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.“

“Although the menu is limited at this point, we were extremely pleased with the Peach Burratta and the Caprese sandwich Service couldn't have been better and pleasant Food was served timely with follow-up As visitors, this was our first visit and highly recommend“
