“Second time visiting. First time was lunch, second time was dinner with family. Both times have been exceptional. Great menu that is reasonable priced and exceptional wait staff. My lasagna was a Italian meatloaf. Another words, the chef does not skimp on ingredients. The caprese salad is a must. You will enjoy the over buttery garlic bread that is served with dinner.“

“What a cool concept. Stumbled across this place on the 4th of July for an early lunch. My wife said she heard about it on instagram so we figured we’d give it a try. The guy working was super personable and helpful. Overall great ambiance and great price. Obviously it’s a holiday and it’s kinda dead inside but seems like a really cool place. The food was excellent! The Tommy is the one to get for sure!“

“For the first time in twenty or so years the dinner was a disappointment. The veal marsala was edible but bland and certainly not up to it's standard. The penne caprisio was flavored (??????) with a watery sauce yhat was best eaten with a spoon....the dish was returned and rebuilt with some moderate sauce that was not up to any standart....the lasagna was great“

“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!!!“

“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..“

“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!“

“Spaghetti Factory never disappoints!“

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

“Un espacio para descubrir opciones decorativas y hacer un lunch satisfactorio.“

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

“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!“

“Was delivered very fast and the whole family loved it got the formaggio combo boneless wing a pizza cookie and a strombolli ao good and such great attitude with the people will definitely recommend and go again definitely best pizza in town“

“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!!!“

“Quick service pizza joint. No seating available on location. Just a counter and soda fridge. Pizza was very well received by everyone. We got bread sticks (aka cheese pizza), all meat and chicken garlic. Almost everything was eaten up completely.“

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

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

“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 ordered Fettuccine Alfredo close to closing time, and it was served impressively fast! They even prepared a takeaway salad and treated me to a small chocolate—such a thoughtful touch. A special thanks to Arina, who provided super fast and friendly service. This is officially my new favorite spot, and I’ll definitely be coming back often!“

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

“Outstanding authentic Italian cuisine“

“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!“

“Wonderful pizza, the crust was perfect.“

“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.“

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

“Great pizza. Worth the money!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!!“

“❤⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“"Joey doesn't share food." "pivot"“

“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“

“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! 🍕 🍕“

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

“It was a nice process, got my pizza fast and the pizza was good. The price is $8.69 with the $5 coupon they give if you put your email address on the website, so the price was quite cheap. However the doors were locked when I first went (at about 5-6am) so I don’t think it’s available 24/7.“
