“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!!“

“The old-fashioned are so good and the brunch menu never disappoints❤“

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

“just moved to Newcastle. Our fist visit & we will return. Started with the house red (get this) & crab cakes & salads. My Halibut with a creamy risotto. She had pesto ravs. All was spectacular. 5 stars. We saved some for breakfast.“

“Our server, Jeffrey was excellent and very informative! The busboy was very attentive. And cleared plates and refilled water often! Always patrolling and on the lookout! My pasta campagnia & my husbands veal,parmigiana were excellent! We also ordered a small pizza (to go) but had to have one slice! Great pizza! Then pumpkin gelato to share & finish our meal! Brought leftovers of each one home! So much food, so much goodness!“

“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.“

“Excellent food and excellent service. Highly recommend!“

“Awesome music venue ! Food was really great!“

“Absolutely perfect. Respectful and professional staff. I'm a picky eater and my food was perfectly prepared and the presentation was impressive. The chicken, veggies, and potatoes were perfect!“

“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.“

“I've been here a couple times before but last night Pasquale's leveled WAY UP on my local favorites list. From start to finish, everything was absolutely EXCELLENT. We started with the Brussels Sprouts appetizer which are light and delicious (not burnt or greasy like I've seen at many other places). I took a chance on the Cioppino, which I rarely do because NOBODY makes it like my Dad did. I was beyond impressed, it was incredible! Everything in it is cooked perfectly, just the right hint of heat, a generous portion of mussels and clams and scallops. We also tried the Marsano pasta and I'll probably be getting that next time. The servers are all very nice and make you feel at home. I cannot say enough about this place, put it at the top of your list for your next date night and prepare for a memorable experience!“

“the food and atmosphere were delicious and spectacular.“

“Spaghetti Factory never disappoints!“

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

“The food here is wonderful! Dessert too!!! We came for lunch. Beware: Shopping was great too! We went home with a new fountain ?

Dietary restrictions: Does not have any Gluten-Free options.

Parking: The parking is limited, and this is a quite popular lunch spot, so prepare to possibly need to wait. Plus the spots are close together.“

“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.“

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

“Absolutely wonderful… my family as well as myself enjoyed our meals“

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

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

“The food was excellent and our server was awesome!

However, the gentleman who works at the front counter and the woman who sat us didn't seem like they were having a good evening. No, hello or how are you even after I asked them how they were doing. It almost made you feel as if you were a nuisance/annoyed they had to deal with speaking to you therefore it didn't feel welcoming at all. We were seated quickly as it was around 7pm on a Saturday and not overly busy.

Our server changed that non welcoming feeling. She immediately greeted us with a smile and was very friendly and helpful. I really wish I remembered her name but I hadn't planned on leaving a review until I got a yelp notification asking me to do so.

We will definitely be back because of the service she provided and all 3 of us in our party enjoyed our food. If the food hadn't been good and our server had been like the first two employees, we wouldn't be open to dining here again, so both of those things saved our experience.

I forgot how large the portions and the leftovers were nice to take home and enjoy the next day.“

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

“Outstanding authentic Italian cuisine“

“The Place in Roseville is hands down one of my favorite spots to eat! The vibe is cozy yet trendy, perfect for date night or dinner with friends. The service is always friendly and attentive without being overbearing.

Now let’s talk food—absolutely incredible. The pasta is fresh and flavorful, the pizzas are perfectly wood-fired, and the wine selection is top-notch. You can tell they put thought and heart into every dish.

If you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and go. You’ll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit.“

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

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

“i heard from a little bird that 4 real italian men were going to open up a pizza express in town. Pizza is italian right. So why eat pizza from someone like Norway like me i will make you some grub and alot of potatoes. Leave the pizza to the experts. Well Valentines we had friends over and i thought pizza would be fun and a big salad.....wow wow wow Formaggio pizza is not like any in town. ITS REAL EVERYTHING THE SAUCE IS TO DIE FOR. If you want a treat anda mouth full of yummy try it. Love peggy“

“Very Delish pizza! We ordered the Maui, bbq chicken and Spartan. There was a mistake in our delivery. I called and they quickly took care of it. Their prompt and kind service was very appreciated. I will definitely order from here again. Great customer service and great pizza.“

“A great spot, really loved their spaghetti and of course the lamb chops were fantastic. And how can I forget the live music.“

“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.“

“Ordered some pizza for take out, it was delicious. We had to try the wings and it comes with some homemade ranch which was great, and we also tried some salad and pasta. My kids loved the chicken alfredo pasta...it was basic to me but still good. They have many other options for you to try...next time I will get a few different dishes to try out!“

“I hadn’t been here in a while so I didn’t know it was under new management. I booked our end of season soccer party here. It was so good! The food was great and the party room worked out so well. Max and Russell were super helpful and so efficient for our big group. This will be my go to for pizza nights from now on“

“Great food, great family and staff, and nice and clean location. We had the Italian boss sandwich on fresh sourdough trucked in from San Francisco that day.. unbelievably yummy! The cannolis are amazing, and the chicken parmigiana was delicious. Great prices too! Definitely recommend!!!“

“Great pizza. Worth the money!“

“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!“

“This is one of the best pizza places, probably in El Dorado county. I’ve been to quite a few pizza places, but not only the pizza but the customer service. Being greeted with a smile every time you go in the fast service it’s clean exterior and interior. And it is absolutely positively the best darn pizza and I’ve ever had ! Mind you I have tried the all meat, combination n the vegetarian. And all of the pieces I’ve had and next one I’m gonna get the Stromboli but every pizza I’ve had has been the most delicious well prepared Amazing tasteful lots of condiments on it. It’s just the best!! Once you’ve tasted, you can’t stop eating it. Try it you’ll Love it
Kudos to the owner!!“

“"Joey doesn't share food." "pivot"“

“Wonderful team making delicious pastas in generous portions. Pick one of their great combinations or design your own! Pesto mushroom was my favorite. Still have a great attitude in spite of a recent accident that damaged their front entrance. Go check them out!“

“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.

Kid-friendliness: What kid doesn't like a good pizza“

“Marco’s Pizza is one of my go-to spots when I’m craving a solid, no-fuss pizza. The crust is always just right—crispy on the edges, soft in the middle—and they don’t skimp on toppings, which I appreciate. Their pepperoni is next level, and the CheezyBread? Dangerous in the best way. It’s not gourmet, but it hits the spot every time. Ordering’s easy, delivery’s quick, and the food’s consistently good. Definitely a reliable choice when I just want comfort food that delivers.“

“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 I do love their food, and I have been a loyal customer for almost a decade, through thick and thin… COVID etc. But… I must say that the new “format” with servers coming to your table to take the order and then deliver it is a big mistake. Also the new furniture we arrangement. It is nowhere as nice as it used to be… Completely changed the ambience and the climate for the worst. Please please please go back to where it was!“

“This place is the bomb 💣 !“

“His pie here is just as wonderful as it is when we go to the city and get it. So many different crusts and choices Tonys ( slice house) is a must! 🍕 🍕“

“❤⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We ordered the Family Meal from O’Connor’s to sample a bit of everything—1/2 lb Tri-Tip and Brisket, two half chickens, garlic mashed potatoes, tri-tip chili, garlic bread, and BBQ sauce—and everything was fantastic! The chicken had a flavorful dry rub, and the skin was perfectly crispy while the meat stayed incredibly juicy. The tri-tip was tender and packed with flavor, and the brisket had a rich, smoky taste that hit all the right notes. But the surprise standout? The tri-tip chili—absolutely outstanding! The garlic mashed potatoes were creamy and comforting, and that loaf of garlic bread didn’t stand a chance once we got started. Add in friendly, helpful service, and you've got a 5-star experience. We’ll definitely be back!“

“This was the first time ordering pizza. We got take out. We got a special 2 medium pizza for 22.99. I have to say they were so delicious, we so enjoyed our brother special and a mushroom. We gave some to our neighbors and they too liked them . I’m thinking already for when I can get pizza again. This place is my now go to pizza.“
