“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.“

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

“Excellent food and excellent service. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“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!“

“100% on all counts. The only bad thing I have to say is that a lady came into the restaurant with her little dog and they didn't ask her to leave the dog outside in the car or ask her to sit on the patio under the heaters. I LOVE dogs, but inside a restaurant is not the place for them. They lost a star for that.“

“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.“

“the food and atmosphere were delicious and spectacular.“

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

“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.“

“Spaghetti Factory never disappoints!“

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

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. We had ordered crispy chicken and when we got the grilled chicken the server went to get us another plate of crispy chicken right away. The restaurant its self is old and hasn’t been updated in what seems like decades.“

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

“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!“

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

“Came here in November to have a last date before becoming parents. Have been here a few times before but had not left a review.

Food: was amazing. I had a calzone and it is big enough for two people! We had an appetizer (garlic dip) and it was perfection! My husband had a pasta dish (I think) and it was delicious. Have had other pasta dishes and they have not disappointed either.

Service: our waitress was amazing. She was so kind and offered us recommendations for everything.

Atmosphere: like I said, we have been here before on busy weekends and it's recommended to have a reservation for sure, but this time we went on a Tuesday and it was super mellow. Would recommend during the week if you could.

Overall: will be back!“

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

“Outstanding authentic Italian cuisine“

“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“

“FULLY VEGAN PIZZAS!! All vegan: Cheese, pepperoni, sausage, stuffed crust. The gluten free is also vegan!!

Honestly the best vegan pizza I’ve ever have in my entire life. The ingredients were all so fresh and perfectly baked“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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 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 pizza. Worth the money!“

“Wonderful pizza, the crust was perfect.“

“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"“

“First time ever! Had some kind of pizza with spicy honey and pepperoni. Very good pizza. It was my wife's idea to go check out that specific pizza. Wow!
You need to go try that pizza! Come on now... Spicy Honey Pizza? Unbelievable!“

“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! 🍕 🍕“

“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.“

“OMG, fast spot for quality and tasty pasta. Get the Cajun chicken pasta. Noodles and chicken were cooked up perfect. Portions were generous. Sauce stuck to the noodles nicely, and spiced to perfection. insane value for quality, taste, and convenience.“

“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“

“❤⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 place is the bomb 💣 !“

“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.“

“Staff is pleasant. Food was delicious.“
