    Very awesome place to go to get a good pie! The taste and sauce are MMn good! So with that said, will you try this and enjoy!

    First off the manager was a really cool dude, introduced himself to me was curious why I chose this place to eat pizza, super kind and friendly I can see that they care about what customers think of their pizza so that's a plus....well the pizza was very good! Half Margharitta Pizza half Formaggio Combo both delicious! The crust super thin pizza, the pizza sauce different than I've had very tasty! I can also taste some garlic on the crust I believe really good stuff! The buffalo wings definitely a a great choice, try them paired with their homemade ranch was perfect! Super clean inside. If I'm ever in the area again I will be back Forsure! Thank you!

    #THANKYOUTHURSDAY Nothing beats a local, small business owner who is cranking out phenomenal, artesian-style pizzas! Can you say YUM! I have been hearing great things about Formaggio Pizza Express located across from Target in the El Dorado Hills Town Center. As well as reading some awesome Yelp reviews including two from fellow Yelp friends Joe Y. and Lillian W. (Both of them can be pretty picky about his/her food:). So I finally had to try it for myself. And, wow, I am sure glad I did! Because i was in the area, I popped in about 3 p.m., last week. Decided to order in person for pick up later that evening and to check things out. Steve was manning the counter. I soon discovered he is the owner too. Nice guy! He was more than happy to share some details about the business. He has been open for a about a year and hires a lot of family members to maintain overall high standards. And his standards include using the highest quality ingredients possible. His delivery range is approximately 4 to 5 miles but if someone is really insistent he may stretch it to 6 or 7 miles. I love how passionate he is about his restaurant! I ordered a 14-inch vegetarian doing half one type of veg and half the other! Not your typical veg either! Unique toppings for sure. Menu board photos included so you may read the pizza offerings and other food/beverage choices. I wanted a 5:15 p.m. pick up and that was not a problem! It was also nice to receive a text when my pizza was ready. Cool! (Btw: Online and phone ordering available.) Bottom line: GREAT pizza! Fresh, hot, perfect crust and a generous amount of toppings! Not a slice was left! Steve has created an affordable take out or delivery, awesome high quality food niche much needed in our area. And for that I am grateful. He also offers a 10% Yelp check-in discount. Woohoo! Stop by and say hi to Steve and experience some really top-notch pizza AND service! As well as that generous "thank you" discount too! Welcome to the hood Steve! Will definitely see you soon.

    The pepperoni pizza medium 12"

    The FOOD IS EXCELLENT!!!! The service is so friendly and welcoming and the pizza taste so good is a perfect amount of everything and it comes with ranch!! The place was very clean and well decorated.

    Cheesy breadsticks. Couldn't get a photo before the kids in the household dug in haha.

    - A Little Luck, A Lot of Vibe…read more If you're looking for that "this is why we don't stay home" kind of energy... this spot nailed it. Walked in on St. Patrick's Day and it felt like the whole place had been plugged into a good mood generator. Packed--but not chaotic. Lively--but not sloppy. Just that sweet spot where everyone's smiling, conversations are flowing, and you can tell people actually want to be there. The staff? Absolute pros. Fast, dialed in, and having just as much fun as the crowd. You don't always see that combo--usually it's either efficient or friendly. These guys brought both. You could feel the teamwork behind the bar... drinks moving, laughs happening, zero stress vibes. The crowd was all in too--green everywhere, patios buzzing, inside shoulder-to-shoulder in the best way. No weird tension, no ego... just good people having a good time. That's rare these days. And honestly, this is exactly why local pubs matter. You're not just grabbing a drink--you're stepping into a community moment. Something real. Something you can't replicate with a six-pack at home. Bottom line: If this is how they show up on a big day, you already know it's solid year-round. Support your local spot. This one's doing it right.

When I got there I got the food, went to my car and opened it to find semi-toasted bread, not a bun. Went back in to make sure it was gluten-free, they said they ran out of gluten-free buns. Disappointing, but I went with it. When I got home and cut the burger, I discovered that the inside was completely raw...not rare....RAW. So I had to cook my own burger at home, by which time the bread was even more raw. I felt ill later in the evening and I am still not feeling great today. Really disgusted and disappointed since I have gone in to dine so many times without issue. I will not be going back to 36 Handles ever. The lack of care and basic cooking is utterly sad. $26 for no bun and a raw burger. Waste of money.

And a small build your own pizza! The pizza dough tastes fresh, medium thick, and good number of toppings too. Service was attentive and patient with indecisive child. Accurate about timing so we knew we would be out in time for our movie. Waitress checked back in on us several times but didn't hover and let us add to order later when one kiddo couldn't figure it out - thanks for that! Ambiance is nice. Quiet enough, music playing old songs that are familiar. TVs with captions that aren't overwhelming. The restaurant is clean and well lit but not overly bright. Like the vibe.

    Visited for the first time to celebrate a birthday. We went on a weekday evening and it was quiet…read more We started with the bruschetta appetizer. The flavor was good, but the tomatoes were served quite cold. I think it would have been better if they had at least been room temperature. We both ordered the Chicken Parmigiana with bucatini. The portion size was large, which was nice considering the dish is $32. The chicken was tender and crispy. It was also my first time trying bucatini, and I enjoyed it. I had no idea hollow noodle pasta existed, so that was a fun surprise. I was only able to eat about half of the dish, but it made for good leftovers the next day for lunch. Overall, the food was fine but nothing especially memorable. When I made the reservation through Resy, I selected that we were celebrating a birthday. There was a handwritten birthday card at the table, which was a nice touch. At the end of the meal, we told our waitress we were too full and didn't want any dessert. Despite that, she still brought out a small tiramisu with a candle. I thought it was a nice gesture and assumed it was complimentary, so I was surprised to see a $10 charge on the bill. I wasn't sure if that's standard at some restaurants when you note a birthday on the reservation, but it was my first time experiencing that. I briefly considered asking about it, but it felt awkward in the moment, so I just paid for it and didn't make an issue of it. Since she had already brought it out for us, I did force myself to eat a few bites. The tiramisu itself was soggy, and I also didn't like that it had chocolate syrup on top, which felt a bit unusual to me since I've never had tiramisu served that way before. Overall, we had a pleasant dinner and service was good, but for the price, the food was just okay.

    I hate giving relish a bad review but this was pretty bad…read more Let me start with the good. Our waitress was nice and she did check on us. My burger was done fine and my tots were crispy. Ok thats the good. My wifes patty melt was very soggy on one side. So basically one side of the bread was cooked and toasted like it is supposed to be and the other was not cooked and soggy. Her fries were cooked but not that great. We let the waitress know about the patty melt and she apologized and took the plate back. Keep in mind my wife had cut this sandwich in half already but had not eaten any of it. The sandwich was returned. It was the same cut in half sandwich however the bread was now cooked on both sides. So basically the melt was very "melted" and the meat was very done. But hey the bread was crispy. Here is where I had a major issue. They brought her back the same old fries. But what the cook did was put a couple fresh fries on top of the old ones to try and make it seem fresh. WTF! The fries on the bottom were not even warm They were cold. The fries that were fresh, I kid you not, totaled maybe 10 fries. When the waitress came to Get the plates she asked how everything was and we told her about the fries. We are decent people and we really do not complain. We even apologized for even saying anything but figured they should know. We really got no response. We did get the bill though lol. I paid in full and even left a tip for the waitress. I really can not blame her but she should have offered a reduction. So be careful if you ever have to send anything back here. Not the same relish.

To order, you stand in line to order and then pay. Be patient as folks in front of you make their selections and ask questions. Yes, there are others that live in the universe besides you.

The hamburger is always a favorite of mine. Big juicy burger patty. The brioche bun is toasted. Fresh fixings. Pricing isn't outrageous. The banana coconut pudding parfait is another go to for me. It's vegan and dairy free and all so delicious! On my last visit, I ordered the red wine braised short rib. It was reheated as all their hot entrees are pre-made. It was not as tender as I anticipated it to be. But it did have a nice flavor. The interior has a modern farmhouse look with a family friendly vibe.

The salad prices were around $17 with protein sources like chicken an extra $4-8 depending. I opted not to get a protein because I figured at $17 the salad would be a decent size and I really wasn't trying to spend more than $25 on a salad w/tip and tax to be accounted for later on. I ordered the green goddess which said it has broccoli, cucumber, avocado, and gg dressing. I have to say for the price it didn't feel like a good value (hence the 4 stars). It definitely needed the protein option to make it seem more substantial but then at $20+ the value still wouldn't be there. The service, the vibe, the beer was all great so maybe just don't order a salad.
