It is a small establishment, but that didn't factor in with how well they treat their costumers. From the moment we walked in, we felt cozy. Focaccia bread is given when seated. Nice, fluffy, and warm. The staff is attentive and helped narrow down our decisions. Our starter was the calamari. Served with a nice cocktail and tartar sauce. The calamari was so crispy and not chewy. For our entrees, we ended up with chicken parm and and the classic lasagna. The sauces and noodles are all homemade, which made everything much more delightful. Everything was melt in your mouth delicious. The chicken for the chicken parm with so crispy and juicy and the lasagna was so soft and flavorful. ( kitchen staff also asked if we wanted to try their spicy sauce. It wasn't too spicy, which made the sauce very flavorful.) If you are looking for a delicious and homey space for Italian food, this is your place. Would definitely recommend this place.

Looking to go on a foodie adventure, my dad and I drove down to Pastosa by Lucia from Sacramento…read more This is definitely the perfect example of "don't judge a restaurant by its location". There was ample parking in the industrial parking lot and a steady flow of customers but they did a good job turning the tables over quickly. And the food was some of the best Italian I have had. To start, my dad and I split an order of the calamari, which was perfectly tender and breaded to perfection. We also each tried the minestrone soup that accompanied our entrées. The minestrone had great flavor and plenty of fresh vegetables. I ordered the gnocchi with chicken and pink sauce while my dad ordered the chicken Parmesan. He really wanted to try their lasagna but they were sold out by the time we got there. The gnocchi was cooked to perfection (aka not mushy) and the pink sauce had great flavor to it. My dad thoroughly enjoyed the chicken Parmesan and had plenty leftover for a second meal. So if you find yourself passing through the area, looking for some hearty and delicious Italian food, come check out Pastosa by Lucia.

Like you can expect of iced drinks from anywhere, they stick a ton of ice in the cup, so it got a bit watered down after drinking some and then letting in sit. Drink was made quickly.

The asada was a little bland, but I added some pickled onion and avocado salad (which were free in the salsa bar) and it was perfect! The salsa bar has a good variety of salsa.

I was looking for a restaurant to eat at and found this local Chinese restaurant. I called in to…read moreorder a pickup order. When I called the staff was polite and very helpful. I ordered a wor wonton soup, 2 orange chicken plates with chow mein/fried rice combo with egg roll. When I came in the restaurant I was greeted by staff and they had my food ready. The wor wonton soup was phenomenal and the flavor was phenomenal. The wonton, chicken, shrimp, veggies and the broth was everything. My wife and mother in law loved their food. The orange chicken was the start of the dish. The ambiance is customer service friendly. The menu has some great selection on the menu. A great place to go to for Chinese food.

I was in Galt for the annual winter bird festival this weekend and wanted to have some lunch before…read moreI headed over to attend the keynote talk. I didn't want to head to Elk Grove so this place caught my eye while sifting through dining options. There are not many options in Galt anyway, but T2yan piqued my interest as I haven't had Chinese-American food in a hot minute. With the mixed reviews, I set my expectations and bar low. It was a rainy day so I was able to find a parking spot right in front of the restaurant. It is located in the same strip mall as Raley's and conveniently located by the 99 and Twin Cities Rd. Upon entering T2yan, I noticed that it was very clean, cozy, yet spacious, with plenty of seating. Aside from a few other people dining in, I was the only other customer. I was seated quickly and handed the lunch special menu. I found it amusing that they even served cocktails. As you can see in my attached photo, the layout of the menu was quite modernized compared to other Chinese-American menus I'm used to, but I liked how each of the lunch special items had photos next to them. I also noticed that the lunch specials came with either fried rice or chow mein, so when I ordered my Mongolian beef lunch special, I asked if I could do half and half. It was a $3 upgrade to do so, which I was fine with paying. I also didn't have a choice of soup for my lunch special, so when it arrived, I was intrigued. It was very homey and not a soup I've ever had in any lunch special. It was a tomato-based soup with some crumbles of pork (?) in it, but it was comforting and I finished my bowl. However, I wish I could have had hot and sour soup instead. Shortly after, my lunch special arrived, and it was a heaping plate of deliciousness. The noodles were excellent, and the Mongolian beef was sooo flavorful. I did not like the fried rice as much, and I had to add soy sauce to it as it wasn't very seasoned (which I don't normally do). The rice was also older (which is fine for fried rice), but it was a little harder than usual. The egg roll was fine, but nothing to write home about. Now knowing about the condition of the fried rice, I will probably not upgrade to half and half again. I did not finish my food and what I took home was a perfect amount for leftovers the next day. The service was standard, and my total before tip was approximately $18, which was a little pricey for Chinese-American food, especially a lunch special, but given the limited options that Galt has, I am not mad about it. While I do not see myself returning to Galt in the foreseeable future, as there's not much to do there, if I am ever in the area again, I would be down to try some other lunch specials (and their hot and sour soup).
