“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. ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Food and service was amazing“

“Had dinner at Olive Garden tonight and it was a wonderful experience! The service was excellent, and our waitress was absolutely 💯—attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcome. The food, as always, was delicious and satisfying. I also really appreciated the playlist—it was pleasant and perfectly matched the cozy atmosphere. Definitely a great evening out!“

“Delicious food and great service“

“I have been to this location multiple times and I’ve been coming to olive garden since I was a toddler and today I had the best experience I have ever received at an Olive Garden, Elia was amazing, she tended to every need and our waters were always full! I got the unlimited soup and as soon as I got to the bottom of my plate she was ready with my next soup and salad. She is very kind very fast and with the help of the kitchen was serving quality food. This was the best experience I have ever had here. My hope is that whatever manager is reading this asks her what her secret is because they need to do a training on how amazing her service is and train more servers this way.“

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

“The best Italian food I’ve had in a long time, I had a great conversation with the owner and our server was awesome, she did a great job. In the mood for Italian food, definitely go here.“

“One Star- The food was not what I expected. The flavors of Italy was not there. The seafood pasta- clams and Musscles, we undercooked, shrimp and scallops were low quality and bland. 0 flavor. Sauce was very lacking in flavor. Couldn't tell if there was garlic in it or not. The bread had a distinct hint of burnt flavor on the back of my tounge. Not sure if you need to request bread or parmesan or what but I saw lots of people getting extra service. I definitely won't be back and maybe thats the point of giving some folks bad food or service is so their kind won't come back? Who knows but mission accomplished. I nor anyone I know will be back.“

“If you haven’t been to Serritella’s yet, it’s definitely worth a visit. I ordered the pesto pasta and it was delicious. I skipped adding protein (meat has just not been it for me lately), and honestly, it didn’t even need it—the flavor carried on its own. My only tiny complaint? It said it came with sun-dried tomatoes… and I think I counted three. But even with that, the dish still hit. My wife ordered the chicken parmesan and said it was bomb. Of course I had to try a bite—and she wasn’t lying. The flavors were all there, no notes, no “I wish it had this or that”—just solid. I also had the white sangria and let me tell you… that alone is worth coming back for. So good. We sat out on the patio, got greeted right away, and our waitress was attentive, kind, and just added to the whole experience. She even offered dessert, but we were so full we had to pass—and that’s saying something because banana cream pie is one of my favorites. Bonus: she’s the one who makes it. I love a good family-style spot like that. We’ll definitely be back… and next time I might just order a salad so I can save room for that pie 😂“

“We stop at Marilyn’s Pizza all the time and absolutely love it! 🍕 They have so many creative pizza selections, and every one we’ve tried has been amazing. The crust is perfectly crisp and flavorful—truly to die for! Highly recommend to any pizza lover.“

“I recommend all of it there tiramisu is off the hook the employees are top-of-the-line and had nothing but the best experience since I’ve been there I’ll go back always and tell my friends about it“

“Fantastic food!! Reasonably priced and quick service too. Will definitely eat here any time I'm in the area!“

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

“The Service (Leah) was outstanding & our food (chicken & dumplings and the lasagna special) was AMAZING“

“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.“

“YUMMMMMM!!! I have been ordering from Prepped Eats for a few years and each time they really deliver on quality and flavor (also, they deliver). It is so convenient to choose meals, have them delivered to my front door, and not have to worry about going to the grocery store that week.

My husband and I are so busy so this makes healthy eating low effort. A lot of meals are already in various fitness trackers so it’s a great way to track my macros without having to put much thought into it.

Not to mention the food is SO GOOD!! I’m not sure how they get garlic-pepper steak so perfect but I dream about it sometimes.“

“Pizzas are delicious! Service is outstanding. Love the laid back and fun atmosphere! Family friendly.“

“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.“

“This place is one of the best Italian restaurants in the Sac area hands down. The lasagna is amazing & a great portion for the price. The have the best old fashioned in all of Sac! The service is top notch & ambiance is perfect. Make sure to make reservations, many people love this place like I do so it's gets packed quickly. Come here, you will not regret it!“

“Participated in 3 dinners for this year's Dine Downtown event and Willow was the best of the three. Fresh-baked Focaccia and Lamb Bolognese were the highlights this year. Hidden gems from Klinker Brick on the wine list. Blood Orange gin cocktail was herbaceous and tasty. Need to book a return trip to try the rest of the menu.“

“Contemporary atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food! We enjoyed a selection of craft brews, the beet salad with buratta, the Brescia wood-fired pizza, and affogato for dessert. Dining at the bar, we enjoyed a spirited conversation with Tyler. It was a delightful evening!“

“The pizza was absolutely delicious. Full of vegetables and the crust was great. They are now our Go To Pizza!!“

“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!!“

“Fantastic food, everything I have tried has been so delicious and I keep coming back for more! I can't wait to go back and introduce more people to this restaurant. It's truly special.“

“You know I don't give 5s but I tell ya. I walked into this pizza place on a whim and boy oh boy was I impressed!! I have NEVER found or understood the whole New York concept of folding your pizza over until now. My goodness the pizza experience elevated immensely.

The crust with the sauce and pepperoni all flowed and literally melted in my mouth. I always sprinkled red pepper and parmessan but this pizza didnt even need it.

There was a family that came in while I was waiting and they decided to leave. I know they are kicking themselves because this pizza is IT!!

Met the Owner's and they added even more to the pleasant experience with their customer service. I'll definitely get to Sac to try again!“

“Great food and service! You can’t go wrong with anything you order here!“

“Finally got the chance to come with a friend for lunch after strolling around the farmer’s market. This restaurant is beautiful inside and out, has bar seating, tables, and a spacious patio underneath lovely midtown trees. The inside is super bright, lots of decor on the walls, flowers everywhere, and the energy was great.

We came on an early Saturday afternoon with no reservation but were seated after 20 minutes. Even then, the restaurant was packed! I would definitely recommend getting a reservation if you plan to come later in the evening and/or have a large group with you (it was only two of us).

I decided to order the soup of the day, which I believe was a squash/butternut squash soup, Parmesan and truffle fries, and my friend ordered the truffle macaroni and cheese with the “the hipster” cocktail. They also brought complimentary rosemary bread and oil. The bread was soft, the cocktail was great and very decent portion, the soup was perfectly balanced and went great with the toasted bread. The fries were a little cold but tasty and came with garlic aioli and ketchup. My friend said her macaroni and cheese was yummy and she would order again. The menu is full of options and we will definitely be back to try more things. Must come if wanting either a romantic night out or a lovely dinner with friends!“

“So modern and sheek. Love this place! The pizza is delish and their appetizers on point👌“

“Once again I am never disappointed! Food and staff are amazing!“

“great food.......mmmmmmmm“

“Great food great atmosphere“

“I received a surprise birthday certificate in the mail for one pizza - and it was really good and to my taste - garlic sauce, chicken, mushrooms, green onions - very balanced and tasty, also I loved how everything was cut into smaller uniform pieces, not like huge chunks of meat here and there, thank you!

They got a nice new sofa :)“

“I can say this much, I know great service when I see it & feel it. But let me tell you how much I felt it through the phone! My goodness, I’ve been in the customer service field for more than a decade, and I can say that yessihr? And Victoria and most of all my delivery driver JACKIE! Customer service to the fullest is an understatement, to others the service you guys provided me tonight will be very light to them, but to me, it meant the world, I felt like we were all old friends that caught up on the phone. Literally especially the vibe I had with Jackie by just normal communication! Thank you so much. We are about to tear this pizza down and you guys just made our night on top of that by just being you guys! Please take those spirits around the world! We need you. Thank you pizza guys! For hiring these wonderful employees!“

“Place is a joke! Looks like a great deal, a tri meat meat pizza for $19.99 I clicked on it, I ordered it. They delivered me an all cheese pizza. I called them right away, they seriously argued with me that I ordered an all cheese pizza. My receipt clearly says trio pizza on it. If I had the energy I would drive there, but they're not worth that much time out of my day. Ended up costing me $30 after delivery fees, a 10% tip, and sales tax for a medium cheese pizza. Avoid this scam at all cost!!“

“Customer service was awesome!“

“Very good veggie wrap and chicken wrap! Mango Milkshake was cool and creamy- delicious.“
