The best experience mouth watering simply just great place. Service top notch... drinks are so creative and pour to perfection.

This place is literally top 3 best meals I've had in the US in my many boujee years of eating. We went for my husbands birthday last week, was reserved the by the kitchen window seat, got there early sat at the bar with the fabulous bartender and actually decided to skip the table and move to the far end of the bar where we sat side by side with both of us enjoying the kitchen view. I love me a glass window where the chefs are on display and you watch it all come out. So awesome to see what next time dishes to try! Highly recommend. Fabulous bar tender started us off with espressos martinis. Followed by Dont call it a Kumquat and the strawberry mule. So unique so fresh and fabulous. Bar tender then offered to wine pair us with each course, absolutely exquisite! We shared a 3 and 5 course selection, it was perfect portions for 2 and a splurge. Octopus polpo, pork belly and and carne cruda were out of this world. Fettuccine, creamy and delicious! I wish it was a tiny bit bigger in size because of how great it was and we shared 1 pasta. Lamb and scallops for entrees, sauces were on point. Hands down the best scallop meal I've ever had, I'm always worried they come too fishy and they were phenomenal Panakota and Galaktoboureko perfect sweet, delicious and beautiful. Can't wait to go back!! Service, food, ambiance literally a perfect meal! read more

I don't want to be a jerk but this place is the poor cousin to The French Laundry in Yountville. If you're looking to impress someone on a first date, come here. I'm not a food snob so maybe I didn't appreciate the mix of fine flavors and flowers. We ordered the three dish dinner menu, I later ordered the fourth item which was a pasta dish. If after doing the math for two raviolis was worth 25 dollars then someone was making a killing. 12.50 a ravioli seems a bit steep. Look, every dish was indeed a work of art but not all art is a Kornfeld nor a Piccaso. The waiters are incredible and the staff are attentive. Okay, two seafood appetizers showed up at the table. My dish look like what fish tank looks like on the day you decide to clean it. My wife's dish had what looked like a streak of jet black artist oil paint on it. All the silverware was removed four times. Yes, I know it's true serving etiquette but I would have liked something that would fill my hunger. Next was the dab of a palette cleaning lemon sherbet. The entree arrived with grand fanfare. We were told about it's hints of this and that and how it would be best eaten with the motion a cow chewing cud. No, but it was over the top. No one wants an earthy taste of beets and scallopmousse with a purple flower that leaves you wanting for more. The filet of steak was the size of a silver dollar and a quarter thrown in. My wife had the monkfish with a fish compote they once served on the Titanic in 1912. Dolce ended our experience, Bombolini and Spumoni Bombe... The desserts finally filled us. Okay, what were the wallet damages? I waited for the check like a condemned man waits for the call from the Governor that never comes. A service charge was included with the check. How nice of them, the staff felt they deserved a 20 percent tip but a 3 percent kitchen equity charge? Oh come on! 287.00 dollars later we walked out hungry. Only once.... It's not our cup of cha. read more

I heard a lot of great things about this restaurant from my friends who came recently. We were given a gift card for Christmas here so we decided to finally come try it out for early Valentines Day dinner. The interior and patio are nicely decorated. Very simple and elegant. They only accept reservations for outdoor seating but the "outdoor" is a fully covered patio with heaters, so don't worry about being too cold. There are less than a dozen tables on the patio so it's not too crowded at all. It's a more intimate setting that I feel can be on the quieter side. It was definitely more formal and quiet when we were there in the beginning but later there was a very loud party of 5-6 people near us so it felt more casual during the latter part of our visit, at some times we couldn't even hear each other. You could tell it was them making it loud too because the place got quiet as soon as they stopped to take a group photo. Their menu is prix fixe and you can choose 3, 4, or 5 courses, and pick your items for each course. They are actually quite flexible too, so you don't necessarily need to pick an antipasti, pasta, and entree - you could pick three entrees, or a pasta and two entrees, whichever combo you like. You can also pick different course amounts per person, so you don't necessarily need to pick the same amount for everyone, which is great if you have a big eater and a small eater. We liked that you could have these options because most places don't do that. We ended up sticking to four courses for both of us with one item per section on the menu anyway because we did like items in every section. The four course menu was $120 and plenty of food. The portions are larger than we expected it to be but we were so happy to be stuffed by the end of it. I really liked that we got to pick our own separate items because that allowed us to try two different items per course! Everything was amazing but my favorites were the polpo (octopus) with delicious gnocchi, and the uni and dungeness crab bucatini. The pork belly was very tender, and it was a bright and fresh dish with the pomegranate and citrus fruits. I loved the fettuccine noodles in the tomato parma rosa sauce, but I felt like there was too much pancetta that overpowered the lobster and prawn flavor. I wasn't a huge fan of the scallop dish but I think because of some kind of flavor profile in there, I'm thinking it was the parsnips. But the scallops were cooked perfectly. We weren't planning to get the zabuton but the server recommended it while we were ordering so we decided to get that and it was a great choice. The meat was tender and I really liked the mustard and demi glace flavors. We both loved the bomboloni dessert - lemon curd donut holes with a side of vanilla gelato. Can't beat fresh warm donuts! The spumoni bombe was good too but very rich and I'm not a huge chocolate person. A couple bites was plenty for me. The pistachio cake at the bottom was my favorite part of that one, but we didn't eat the rest of the cherries because it was too tart and strong for our liking. Service was great - our server was friendly and very approachable. Various staff came to refill waters and brought new utensils for every course. There was one guy who dropped off our food who seemed to be in training because there was another person behind him watching. He didn't seem to remember what was in the entree and he just kinda mumbled and trailed off. Luckily it was pretty loud in the room, and he was wearing a mask, so we wouldn't have known any better. But hey that's what the written menu is for, and it gave us a good laugh! Overall this is definitely now in my top 5 restaurants to recommend to anyone looking for a nice formal dinner in the Sacramento area. Even though I could've done without a couple of the dishes, overall everything made my tastebuds happy and I enjoyed it much more than some of the more well-known restaurants in our area. I also think the flexibility of their course menu puts them a step above the rest. I can't believe it took us this long to come try it but I'm glad we finally did! read more

went a year ago and thought it was amazing. went last night [a year later] for a birthday celebration with my wife and my previous favorite dish - the lasagna - was FAR to acidic and quite literally made me sick. I couldn't even eat the main course. My wife ended up getting sick when we got home as well. It's pretty embarrassing considering the high bill. read more

Love Allora! It really deserves a Michelin Star in my humble opinion. I have not tasted anything I did not love in 3 trips. They also have an incredible bar with the best cocktails. I highly recommend having a meal there if haven't already. read more

I came here in December 2021, to get in we had a mask and you can remove it ones you're seated at your table. If you go to use the restroom they ask to put your mask on. We did day of reservations online for outdoor seating. This place is so beautiful inside and outside area. This place is pricey if you're not willing to spend this might not be the place for you. We came to celebrate a birthday. Service 5/5 they are on top of it to give you water or get you the next drink. Dinner 6/5 Oh my! worth every penny. We did the a four and three-course meals. Over $100 each for food and we did have multiple delicious drinks. Parking in the street, so if you have reservations come a bit early to find parking. Dress code: they don't seem to have a requirement but I would say dress business casual or a nice cocktail dress. I would say some people were dress Business casual or even a little bit under. I guess come dress in your best Sunday clothes lol They do have a coat check. I definitely recommend this restaurant no need to come here for a special event. If you want to treat yourself with a delicious meal and drinks. Give this place a try. read more

Staff and owner are clearly dedicated to the craft of delivering polished haute cuisine. The owner provided astute, well thought out wine pairings with courses each of which uniquely elevated the food and drink. We are very accustomed to 3+ hour dining experiences, but our delivery was very latent - took just shy of three hours to get two of five courses to our table. Friends asking shared they had a similar experience with cadence. The menu is pre-fix, but patrons are allowed to choose selections which has to render a nightmarish number of permutations for the back of house. I think if they streamlined and made it 100% tasting menu this glitch would resolve itself making delivery more sustainable. read more

Celebrated an anniversary dinner here. The restaurant has a lovely, intimate, MCM feel. You can choose a three, four, or five course meal with an abundant list of options. We opted for the four courses that left me very satisfied. I loved everything we ordered. The Risotto was something special. Let the pictures speak for themselves read more

Great place if your a baller or want to impress your date at a 4 dollar sign restaurant. For myself as a first timer. I really enjoyed it. Great service! I didn't mind paying over $2-$300 for our dinner of 2. But not going to lie I was disappointed of the food. The taste wasn't the best . I was surprised that it got me full I was afraid I had to go to in&out after or somthing haha read more

Birthday treat on a Saturday night. With reservations in the outside dining area at 7:15, we were seated at 7:45. We stood outside on the sidewalk while we waited-no seating out there. Nice table in lovely outdoor area surrounded with flowers growing from boxes in the walls. Unfortunately, it was very noisy out there. We were comped a glass of champagne and an amuse bouche-which was delightful-for our wait! Ordering is prix fixe with your choice of three, four, or five courses. They are very flexible about what you can order, though. Some items are seasonal and a couple are served regularly. Two of us ordered from the pasta menu and two ordered seafood. Outstanding were the morels, oysters, lamb, panna cotta. The pasta dishes were too spicy hot, however--just over the line for hotness for the two of us who had pasta. We had asked about the seasonings in advance and were assured the dishes were not hot. Overall, the experience was pleasant. Servers were extremely well informed and attentive. I am not a gourmet diner, so the subtleties probably failed to register. read more

We were going to celebrate our anniversary at a different restaurant but we were very happy with the last minute change of plans. Allora did not disappoint. Service was top notched! We were greeted warmly and led to the bar area while waiting for our table. The staff were all polite and friendly. The food was amazing. I can't wait to go back next time to try the new menu for the season. read more

I took my friend for her 40th birthday and we both had a great experience. The interior is lovely but we opted for a table on their beautiful patio with a warm and inviting ambiance. We basically did a tasting with the help of our friendly and knowledgeable server.

I will definitely they be back! read more

We visited Allora for a Pre-New Year' Eve dinner. First impression the ambiance was very nice and cozy, they had a nice outdoor patio but it was freezing that night so I'm happy that we had reservations inside. The service was great, our server took the time to explain the menu and we went with the four-course meal. I think the presentation was beautiful but we didn't love everything we ordered. My favorite of the night was the seafood Alfredo. The pasta was great and really enjoyed the flavors. My main course was scallops, although the presentation was again beautiful I didn't love all the components on the plate. My husband got the risotto and we thought it wasn't cooked down enough for our liking. For the four-course meal, each course portions were pretty substantial and we were stuffed at the end of dinner. Overall, good experience and would return for a special occasion. read more

Everything here was absolutely delicious but the winner would have to be the scallops- it is fall-off-the-fork kind of tender, must get if you enjoy seafood. Ambiance with plethora of plants was relaxing and the service was wonderful as well. It is pricy given the built in gratuity but would still highly recommend this gem if you are in need of an elevated dining experience for special occasions. read more

Allora - Wine Bars Near Me - Sacramento, California

Modern Italian seafood restaurant and bar that is rich in Italian heritage and local ingredients. Allora is a wine-centric gathering place celebrating Italy and Sacramento's bounty. They offer a prix-fixe dining experience with a menu that features a choice of three, four, or five courses. You must make a reservation with OpenTable in advance to secure a table. The restaurant itself is located in a small, but elegant building that has a lovely, modest, exterior. Service here was near-perfect. Friendly, professional, attentive staff who did an excellent job in explaining the options and giving recommendations. I would recommend this place for first timers looking for a fine, upscale dining. read more

The food is amazing. We celebrate birthdays here and love it every time. The drink list changes which is nice. My mom wanted a fruity spritzer that wasn't on the menu and they were able to make her one that was very similar. Staff is always very kind and attentive. The ambience is elegant, perfect for a dinner that celebrates a specially occasion or a date-night. I also get their emails of when they're having special events and date-night menus, they're doing things often which is nice! read more

After hearing great reviews from pals we finally made resys. Two months out. Located on Folsom Blvd, it's not truly near anything epic. It has a great view of an automotive shop, wandering homeless and the lot has only 3 spaces so you're forced to find parking in front of residential homes ( which I'd hate if I lived nearby). I almost wished there weren't huge windows because the mirrors, velvet chairs, huge wine space and Mad Men-like decor are overpowered by the crappy views. I did peek into they garden patio space and would %1000 recommend resys there next time. The service was impeccable. Our server and every other employee we encountered was sweet, knowledgeable and friendly. They knew of Italian wine, ingredients and what paired well with other things. We did the 5 course meal and left VERY full. Their servings start small but def get bigger throughout. I did appreciate the option to have my 5 course without dessert and add another antipasti or crudo. ( I'm a salty not a sweet). But the fact that we spent over $500 for two to dine ( with only 2 glasses of wine each), you'd think the trivial $10 sub fee would be embarrassing to charge. Guess not. The food was good. Don't get me wrong. And I hate to compare.... but I will. If we're going to drop a huge chunk of cash on great food? It didn't have the culinary flavor profiles or whismy of Localis. The combinations of sauces and food was good but nothing made me stop and gasp. Or exclaim YAASSSSSSSSSS. The service, like I mentioned, was amazing. And the oysters were also fresh and light and delightful ( especially with bubbles ). But my Tonno entree was "fine". Husband's short rib was boring and fatty. I would go back to celebrate something with friends ( and sit in the patio area!) but to spend close to $600 for a meal that left me more full than more satisfied with the food? ‍ it'll be a minute. read more

What an amazing dinner experience at this lovely restaurant. From the service, to the ambiance and the incredibly flavorful food and presentation. This was our first time here and it won't be the last. We definitely made reservations in advance which i highly recommend. We were greeted and seated to our table by our wonderful hostess. Upon being seated our waiter came and introduced himself and gave us suggestions for drinks and was very knowledgeable about the drinks and pairing them to our likes. We started off with the Kiwi Mule, which was amazing! Next we decided to go with the 3 Course which was perfect. Our starter was the Polpo with balsamic glaze, calabrain chili, fennel, ink and potato gnocchi. The octopus was cooked perfectly and this actually was my first time trying octopus and it was so good. The next dish was our main course which was the Zabuton salsa verde, with potato gratinato and balsamic radicchio arugula. This dish was so flavorful, and the plating was also perfection. Last was the dessert, i opted for the Spumoni Bombe Pistachio with chocolate and amarena cherries. If i could have this every day with every meal i would literally be in heaven, this dessert was one of the best desserts i have ever had. Not overly sweet, but decadent. The experience we had at Allora was by far out of this world, and if you haven't tried this place i highly recommend treating yourself to some amazing food. read more

Came here for my husband's birthday since I read good reviews about this place. We've dined at many fine dining restaurants before and to say this was a disappointment is an understatement. For what you pay for, this is a subpar restaurant. The food was below average at best - the gazpacho was one little ball in cold soup (which I wouldn't mind if the flavors complimented cold temps, but it didn't), fettuccini way too salty, short ribs under flavored and the strawberry dessert was a small scoop of sorbet swimming in strawberry juice. When we were served water it tasted like iron! Granted, when we said something and were given new water it was corrected, but at this price point that shouldn't happen in the first place. In terms of ambiance, it was really loud (which I don't mind) but we were seated outside and it was cold. Don't expect to feel like you're dining at a nice restaurant, your utensils are placed directly on the bare table - no white cloths. Feels a bit gross, but I'm sure they clean and disinfect it - although when people left their tables I didn't notice a thorough clean. The only good thing about the experience were the drinks - the passion fruit mocktail was delicious. Other than that the food is not worth it, and the service is regular at best. There are plenty of restaurants that you can pay the same amount, even less, for better food and service. I'm never inclined to write reviews, good or bad, unless the situation calls for it. A 4 course meal totaling to $400 for 2 people (included was a mandatory 23% gratuity) should not be what we experienced. I would not recommend this Allora. read more

We were looking forward to having a wonderful culinary experience at Allora again for a special occasion after the pandemic is finally over. The food was creatively presented but the portions were very small and expensive. The food was not served hot enough, 3 of our 4 dishes were barely warm when they were placed on our table. Although most of the dishes were fine, however when paying $500 for two people, we justifiably demand it should be better than fine. As recommended by my server, the "scallops" was selected as my entrée. I was deeply disappointed to see the entrée had only 1 and half scallop on the nice big plate. Generally no LESS than 3 scallops on a plate served for a similar entrée from a reputable restaurant. I felt cheated specially after reviewing those photos for the same entrée taken by other Allora patrons, because they all showed 3 or more full size scallops on their plate. I searched and noted that the price for a pound of extra-large sea scallops (10 - 20 scallops) wholesale is about $25. That is one of the reasons I rated it only "ok". I do hope that your plate would be fuller than mine. At the conclusion of our dinner, it was discovered the balance of my gift card from a previous visit had mysteriously decreased by more than 80% in value. We were told this discrepancy issue could only be resolved with proof and documentation. Luckily after several days of fact finding thru calls and emails, the good manager recognized the discrepancy, spent extra effort to track and reconcile the deficiency, the gift card matter was resolved. Attached is a photo of my Scallops entrée. Photo presented included half of my husband's super expensive Japanese A5 Wagyu, as he saw my upset expression, he quickly shared his offering on my plate before I even had time to take a photo of my entree. He tried to compensate me for the serving size I received. read more

Allora - 1 and half scallops and Japanese A5 Wagyu - Wine Bars Near Me - Sacramento, California

Ambiance: Nice vibe and very cute inside. Loved the menu with the personal touch wishing me happy birthday. Location: As another person said, it's right in the middle of east Sacramento off of Folsom Blvd. and there is limited parking and no valet. For the price you pay, there should be some Valet service. Food: My husband and I knew coming in the portions weren't going to be huge BUT for $165 I was expecting a little more. The portions were very small. As some other reviewers said, I too believe it was over priced for what you get. And we were anxious to try but having to wait so long in between each course was a drag. The donuts were really good and were the biggest portion of all the meals. Service: the staff were all VERY nice. Our server Nick was fantastic and Leon at the bar made me one of the best margaritas I have ever had! However, food service is SLOW. I'm sure with 4-5 courses it's meant to come out that way but we we're seated at 730 and our dessert didn't come out until 10. After my husbands 4th course and my third (I didn't 4 he did 5) we were asking for the check because we were ready to go at that point. We knew once we finished dessert we were going to want to go straight away. There was least 20-25 minutes between each course. Would I go back? No. I don't like the TWENTY THREE percent gratuity for TWO people. Our bill was $381 and after all the fees, $509! I just didn't think the food matched the price tag. And personally for us, the food service is too slow. read more

Came here for an anniversary dinner. Ambiance was 10/10! Really gets you into the "fancy dinner mood" Service was also 10/10! The staff were so nice, and so detail oriented. I gave this place three stars because for a $400 dinner tab for two people (we chose the 4 course meal with 2 drinks), you would think the food was out of this world. It was pretty ok. I think what really caught my attention though was the $20% service charge and 3% kitchen charge (is this normal???). So, just an FYI if there's less than 6 of you going, you will still be charged with 20% service charge either way. Overall, glad I finally got to experience Allora, but I wouldn't come back here for the hefty price and ok food. read more

After 6 month of being inside during lockdown we chose Allora as our first dining experience and we were not disappointed. We have been here twice so far and have had incredible experiences both times. We chose the 5 course menu our first time here and wow, we were absolutely stuffed by the end of the meal. Second time we got 4 courses and felt it was the perfect amount of food for us. There is not one dish I can say we didn't enjoy. Highlights for us were the scallops, pork belly, and the number one shining star is the fettuccine made with lobster, langostino and pancetta. Service here is impeccable. All servers and bartenders we came across were fantastic. We feel so fortunate to have this gem only ten minutes away from our home. No doubt we'll be back soon. read more

Star dish of the night were the raw Wescott Bay oysters!!! Deliciously fresh and creamy. My second favorite dish was the panna cotta, a basic dessert but the texture and layers of flavor were excellent. Other things we ordered: Cherry Tonic (not that great), High Thymes, beets & ricotta, pulpo, and cavatelli. They were all good though the shape of the cavatelli pasta reminded me of bugs hahaha. The ambiance was lovely and we were seated at a high top table with a view of the kitchen. It's always fun to see behind the scenes. If I come back I would order the gnocco appetizer because it looked amazing! read more

Such a fun experience and excellent food. They customized our menu to celebrate an occasion and brought champagne on the house. This restaurant is a full experience! We usually get the 4 course meal in order to get the pasta course. The menu changes frequently which is very fun. Service is always professional and so knowledgeable about their dishes. I've been seated indoor and outdoor and both are great. Obviously pricey so for us it's for special occasions or business dinners but definitely worth a try! read more

I've seen mixed reviews of this place and for that reason it was one of the last fine dining spots I've tried in Sacramento. However, my partner made a reservation here a few days ago and I was completely in awe. Everything from the service to the food was phenomenal. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted and seated. The hostess was incredibly kind and really started off our meal in the best way. The restaurant itself is gorgeous, very modern and minimalist. We were seated outside on their patio and it was perfect weather. The food really exceeded my expectations. It is a course menu, so you choose whether or not you want three, four, or five courses. My partner and I both got the four course and we got different things so it was like having eight different plates to try. Everything was incredible but my highlights of the night had to be the simple, Parmesan risotto with five ounces of shaved black truffle on top as well as their bomboloni donuts with lemon curd. Every item wasn't overly complicated, it celebrated the ingredients, and was cooked to perfection. Not to mention the cocktails were an experience and absolutely gorgeous. Overall, don't wait like I did to go get a phenomenal meal at this gorgeous restaurant. I'm sure it will exceed your expectations as well. Thank you to everyone at Allora! read more

I've been to quite a few Michelin rated restaurants and to my surprise, alot turned out to be pretty average. Allora on the other hand, far exceeded expectations on all fronts and so I fail to understand why it's still not Michelin starred. The service is attentive and not pushy nor intrusive. The Sommelier was knowledgeable and carefully handpicked the wine for us from the gazillion wines this place had to offer. Favorites: Polpo (octopus), Lobster Fettuccine, Lamb, Scallops, Bomboloni & panna cotta w/peaches. We enjoyed the sorbets and the small appetizer bites to cleanse our palates in between meals. Allora is definitely a beyond comparable experience that you MUST try!! read more

We had a wonderful dinner - every employee went out of there way to make sure our dining experience was out of this world. They reaffirmed our son's passion to be a chef!

Overall the dining experience is not worth the price. The food quality was okay. The service was abysmal. For a mandatory 23% service fee I expect the wait staff to act like they want our business, not to act like they didn't want us there to begin with. Perhaps we were treated poorly because we do not drink alcohol so the waitstaff knew this would impact the total amount of their tip, regardless we won't be returning. read more

Wooooow! Came here for our friend's birthday on 10/4 and had the best experience! We had reservations so we were able to be seated right away & we got the table/booth in the back so it was pretty private. We had a party of 6 & half the party did the 4 course meal while the other half did 5! It was definitely on the pricier side but definitely worth it. Everything we got tasted amaaaazing! I got the 5, for app (crudi) we got the oysters + carne cruda which is basically a steak tarte tarte. Then for paste, (this was my FAVORITE of the 5) we got pork belly & conserva 2.0. The conserva 2.0 is sooo good & flavorful. It's very different and the portion is so generous. Next PASTA - my bf got the tajarin which is duck pasta, this was ok. I felt like this was missing flavor. I got the lobster fettuccine, this was very flavorful as well. It had a lot of lobster bits w/ a hint of citrus due to the lemon. For entrees we got the 72 hr short ribs + frutti. The short ribs were better than fruitti! Lastly for dessert we got BOMBE + Panna cotta, panna cotta was super refreshing where as bombe was richer and heavier. ALSO they would bring little cleansers bits in between The meal was so good!! We also ordered wine and total came out to about $1,200 for 6 including tips & service fees. read more

Delicious tasting menu in Sacramento! I came with a few girlfriends in April and we loved our experience, highly recommend if you're looking for a fine dining experience. What I ordered: - gazpacho: delicious! It's more of a foamed crème than a soup from what I remember but it was tasty! - lobster fettuccine: absolute must - creamy and delicious! - scallops: this was my least favorite, I'd recommend a different dish over this one - panna cotta: also delicious and definitely recommend I loved that they also have a completely separate menu for vegetarians, which my one of my friends really appreciated. Definitely recommend if you're in the Sacramento area! read more

This review is more about the service & experience and not the food (which was already known to be exquisite!). My wife and I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary and wanted to go somewhere we've never been to before and a place that that was really special. My wife found Allora because of it's vegetarian options. We've never been to a restaurant this high-end before so aside from reviewing the menu beforehand, we didn't know what to expect. From the beginning, the entire staff made us feel like we were right at home. They were all so welcoming and friendly! My wife & I don't drink alcohol. Instead, the bar gave us some sparkling juice in lieu of champagne. Nice touch! We didn't expect it! Our server was warm and kind! She made us feel so at ease and happily explained each item we ordered and answered every question. I ordered the lobster fettuccine knowing that I have a slight allergy where my throat itches. Our server checked up on me which was great to see that level of attentiveness. Not only did the servers explain each dish to us, we were also shown how to eat some of them. I think this is awesome because there are some of us whose never been in that kind of environment or eaten that type of food. Food education was impressive and most importantly, nothing came off as pretentious. Truly, the staff took pride in everything and positivity expressed those feelings. Moreover, they wanted us to be immersed in the experience and have a great time! We're ready to come back real soon! read more

Recently went there with the family, classy place almost felt like you were not in sacrament. The greeting staff was luke warm at best, however our waiter was full of energy, knowledgeable and provided great service. Had their 4 course meal, everyone tried different options, presentation was beautiful, most of it was flavorful and delicious. It's a little on the pricey side and expected to be wowed which didn't happen. read more

Food was... just okay. Definitely feels overpriced for what you are getting. In terms of flavor, you can find good Italian food for less money elsewhere. I do like the service. Staff will give you their best recommendations. read more
