    Amazing! Absolutely amazing!
    Robin H.

    Love our local mom and pop owned restaurants here in Newcastle. La Fornetta is the best. Staff is wonderful, Kyler always so great with the crowds that this restaurant has pouring in to eat their delicious homemade pasta.

    Great sparkling inside the wine bar
    Adrianna P.

    We arrived at La Fornaretta right at 5pm with a group of 9, and while the wait ended up being a little over 70 minutes, the sting softened quickly thanks to their beautiful wine bar and lively bar inside the restaurant. A glass of wine in hand definitely helped us channel la dolce vita while we waited. Once we were seated it was worth it. We started with oysters, mussels, and scallops, all incredibly fresh and perfectly prepared. You could really taste the quality. For mains, we went full Italian feast mode: carbonara, pizza, pesto pasta, ravioli, meatballs, and salad--and every single dish was a hit. Comforting, flavorful, and clearly made with care. There's something for everyone, whether you're craving classic pasta or a great pizza. Nice variety of wines! Long wait aside, the food and atmosphere made it a memorable night. We'll definitely be back hopefully with a shorter wait and the same incredible flavors!

    Lovely little Italian restaurant in Newcastle. The food is always good here and so is the hospitality. Would not recommend the outdoor seating in the summer, especially when it's 90 degrees and above. But it's great for those days where there's a light breeze. We're a big fan of the pesto pasta and get this every time. Today I tried the sugo pasta and it was equally delicious. The scallops are also a big hit, but a little pricey.

    This restaurant offers a dining experience defined by a stark contrast between exceptional culinary execution and disappointing operational flaws. Structurally, the venue presents an appealing, clean, and rustic aesthetic, yet this positive first impression is quickly undercut by a lack of basic hygiene. Specifically, flies were buzzing around the bathroom area during my visit. This failure in basic maintenance sets a concerning tone about the establishment's attention to detail, a gap that unfortunately extends directly into the front-of-house service operations. While the physical environment has its ups and downs, the service follows a similarly frustrating trajectory. The staff starts strong, providing good service right up until the food is delivered to the table. However, once the plates land, the waitstaff becomes entirely inattentive and detached overall. This post-delivery abandonment leaves me feeling neglected throughout the remainder of the meal, as routine check-ins and simple beverage refills are completely overlooked, heavily hindering what should have been a seamless evening. Fortunately, the kitchen crew operates at a much higher standard, delivering standout dishes that showcase genuine culinary talent. The Fettuccine Alaska is an absolute triumph, featuring a rich, velvety vodka cream sauce tossed with handmade fettuccine noodles that are wonderfully flavorful and buttery soft. The dish is elevated by smoked salmon that carries just the right amount of smoky depth without overpowering the plate. To finish the meal, the Tiramisu delivers excellent traditional flavors and a beautifully creamy texture, proving the food itself holds up to the social media hype. Regrettably, the stellar flavors are ultimately spoiled at the conclusion of the evening by predatory financial practices. The restaurant tacks on a surprise junk fee simply for the use of a credit card, which is advertised in such small font on the menu that it's hard if not impossible to notice. Still, this abuse of the customer. The bottom line is that the establishment serves very good food, but the overall experience is severely dragged down by inattentive service, bathroom cleanliness issues, and unnecessary fees.

    Finally made it here after staring at the menu for months! My daughter and I went here Wednesday for chicken parm night. She is a huge chicken parm fan. And I am a huge stealer of chicken parm off her plate. Lol The pasta was VERY GOOD, great texture. Chicken parm was huge with yummy fettuccine. The bread was good and was told it was actually their pizza dough. Yum! This is a small, darker place with lots of history. Would totally go back and try some more pasta dishes and maybe pizza. Think they do lasagna on Sundays. Service was friendly and prompt.

    Handmade Tortelli Pesto

    A friend of mine has raved about this restaurant, so we made sure to arrive early for dinner after we enjoyed wine tasting nearby at Lecavalier Cellars. We were blown away by how many people were already dining and waiting for a table by the door in La Fornaretta, which feels like a cozy home, after we were seated around 4:30pm! Evidence of the popularity of this restaurant! For starters, we ordered the Selvaggia salad. The baby spinach, ricotta salata, beets, roasted pine nuts, and shallots disappeared into our bellies. Everything about this salad was fresh and made with a burst of flavors--tangy, salty, and sweet! This was absolutely a beautifully executed salad. In addition, the all-you-can eat fresh baked, warm bread with butter was ideal to pair with the salad, as we waited for our entrees. With the warm bread comforting my foodie belly, I had to stop myself from eating more, to save room for our pasta entrees! My friend ordered the fettuccine alfredo(Timilia), which I tried. Just with that first bite, wow my facial expression my friend saw spoke to the organic fettuccine made from Sicilian stone-milled grain! The pasta was very soft and unlike many pastas served in Italian restaurants we frequent! The alfredo sauce was very light and creamy, making this the best fettuccine alfredo I've ever tasted so far! For my entree, I am a big pesto and pine nuts fan, so I ordered the handmade tortelli pesto. I savored every bite of their hand-folded organic prosciutto di Parma and parmigiano filled pasta. The amount of pesto sauce served on this plate enhanced my enjoyment of this pasta! Everything about this pasta dish was rich, balanced, and deeply satisfying. If only we had room for dessert, I'm sure we would've enjoyed their delectable desserts, however we were pleasantly full. This gives us more reason to return and leave room for dessert next time! I aim to support family businesses, so I look forward to returning to this family-owned business that is a gem in Newcastle. I have heard from Sicilian actors and comedians their grand compliments for their mothers' Sicilian cooking. Now, I know what they mean, and can't wait to try their other menu items next time!

    We came in with a party of seven for dinner and had such a great experience. Garrett was our waiter and he truly made the night. Managing a larger table can be hit or miss at a lot of places, but he handled everything perfectly. He was attentive, friendly, organized, and never once made us feel rushed or overlooked. We ordered oysters, steak with mashed potatoes, and the pasta, along with a bottle of the Barbera d'Asti. Everything came out quickly and was delicious. The oysters were super fresh, the steak was tender and cooked exactly how we ordered, the mashed potatoes were creamy, and the pasta tasted homemade and full of flavor. Garrett also recommended the wine, and it paired perfectly with the meal. Overall our whole table had a great time. The food was amazing, the service was even better, and Garrett really made the experience memorable. We'd definitely come back again, especially to sit in his section.

    Scallops with citrus reduction
    Samantha N.

    Worth the trip out of the city. This cozy, family-owned Sicilian restaurant has a homie feel to it. The decor and service is quite lovely. The pasta was fresh, but I wouldn't order the marinara sauce again. The meatballs made up for the lack-luster marinara, they were fluffy and full of warm spices. We'll try the pizza next time, it looked amazing! The scallops with the citrus reduction (specialty item) were rich and luxurious. The gelato was excellent as well!

    House  focaccia with dip. Wonderful
    Candice Estey S.

    What a wonderful restaurant. Entering makes you happy to arrive at this little jewel in Newcastle. Great staff! Wonderful menu. We had a hard time trying to not order everything. The baked pear salad was delicious with fresh crisp greens. We had the house made ravioli. Wonderful! Rigatoni with wonderful ragu, excellent. The pizza had great dough, crisp on outside and wonderful thin layer of soft dough inside. Perfect. It was beautiful and an order again pizza. Enjoy.

    We were visiting Auburn from out of town and there was an Italian restaurant in the old downtown. Italian sounded great, but the food didn't look authentic. So I looked up some nearby spots and came across La Fornarette. Situated in such a unique building, the vibe inside feel warm, comforting, and rusting. The wait staff were all amazing, kind, and attentative. To top it off, food was YUMMY! I ordered the rigatoni and my husband got the pesto ravioli and pizza. They were all great but I LOVED the pesto. I could eat 10 more plates. Highly recommend!

    Dana N.

    What an amazing authentic Italian restaurant. Most if not ALL items are scratch made in house which is rare and very much appreciated. When we got here @4:20pm Before the doors were even opened there was a line out the door!! I don't know about you, but I love seeing that and it's always a plus! When there's a "line" you just KNOW it's gonna be good!! We cannot wait to go back!!

    Thursday night, the family decided that they wanted to go here for dinner. Figured, it's a weekday night, probably not crowded but decided to call in for a reservation anyway. We arrived and, lo and behold, the place was packed!!! Loud, lively, and busy! Glad we made that reservation. We got seated right away but waited a while for our order to be taken. The food came fairly quickly and every diwas molto delizioso!!! Hands down they have the best pesto sauce! Both the handmade ravioli and tortellini pesto entrees were delicious! The rigatoni bolognese and the (generous) fresh clams over linguine were very tasty. We totally enjoyed the amazing scallops, crab cakes, side of meatballs, and Caesar salad. We ended our meal with the delicate cannoli and tiramisu. Everyone enjoyed an excellent meal and left happy as a clam!

Only disappointment there was the ranch and marinara sauce I ordered were only 1/3 of the ramekin full, so we had to be conservative with the sauce. The sauce boss didn't like that. Next was dinner. I got chicken parm with fettuccine Alfredo. There was plenty of Alfredo sauce. Being it's authentic, it's very rich and delicious. (A Little goes a long way.) However, on the chicken parm there was the equivalent of one and a half cherry tomatoes, beautifully seasoned with basil, oregano, salt, pepper, garlic, and onion, then crushed on top. Again, sauce boss didn't like that. To fix this, I asked for 2 extra sides of marinara in hopes to use them to give my chicken parm a respectable amount of sauce and possibly use any extra to make a little pink sauce with the Alfredo. Alas, yet again, 2, 1/3-filled ramekins. The sauce boss hated this. "Who rations tomatoes???" I said!!! The total tomato sauce that ended up coming to our table was the amount I'd expect if I said light sauce. Nicely. Long story short, I got some extra sauce to go because it's so yummy.

    A Hidden Gem in El Dorado Hills Amazing Food & Even Better…read moreHospitality! My wife and I stopped by Vine EDH for lunch today while we were in El Dorado Hills for a doctor's appointment. We were hungry, happened to stumble upon this cozy little spot, and I'm so glad we did. As soon as we walked in, we were welcomed by Jaime, who was working behind the bar. Right away, I told my wife, "She looks like she owns the joint." Turns out--I was right! We asked Jaime for her recommendations, and she suggested the tri-tip tacos. We went with those along with the chicken caprese sandwich and truffle fries. The kitchen happened to be having an issue with the oven that day, so the food took a little longer than Jaime wanted. But my wife and I honestly didn't mind one bit. We were enjoying some rare time alone away from the kids, having a great conversation, and chatting with Jaime. She was incredibly personable and made us feel like regulars even though it was our first visit. Then the food started arriving. First up were the tri-tip tacos, and they were absolutely scrumptious. The meat was flavorful and tender, with just the right balance of zest and saltiness. They disappeared pretty quickly! Next came the chicken caprese sandwich, and WOW. The chicken was tender, the fresh mozzarella paired perfectly with the spinach, and everything came together beautifully. It was an amazing sandwich. But for me, the unexpected star of the show was the truffle fries topped with cheese. Crispy, piping hot, cheesy, and ready to be devoured. I could have easily eaten another order by myself. My wife enjoyed a refreshing glass of white wine, while I was the responsible driver for the day and stuck with a near beer. Then came the biggest surprise. When I pulled out my credit card to pay, Jaime told us that our entire meal and drinks were on the house because of the delay. We were genuinely shocked. The funny thing is, we weren't upset about the wait at all. We had enjoyed every minute of our lunch. But that gesture told us everything we needed to know about Jaime and the way she runs her business. She truly takes pride in Vine EDH and genuinely cares about making sure every person who walks through the door has an amazing experience. Great food will bring you into a restaurant, but hospitality like that is what makes you remember it and want to come back. We will absolutely be returning the next time we're in El Dorado Hills. Except next time, I'm making sure we bring some cash so we can leave a BIG tip for the amazing bartender who just happens to be the owner too! Thank you, Jaime, for the incredible food, your kindness, and especially your amazing hospitality. You turned what was supposed to be a quick lunch into one of the highlights of our day. Vine EDH absolutely earned five stars from us. We'll be back!

    A cute little wine bar in town…read more Parking: free plenty. If you are new in town, it could be a bit tricky to find the complex as the GPS will direct you to gas station, but behold: the food complex is behind the gas station, so just go for it. Service: friendly, attentive, knowledgeable Food: make fresh, pretty quick Ambience: nostalgic, casual Restroom: clean, easy to lock This place has a lot of community events. Nadia, the co-owner is the host if you want to have wine tasting group session. Her knowledge across wineries are excellent, I was learning a lot. The store curated organic wines from Amador county and surrounding. This is one of the wine bar in Sacramento where I can find organic wines. These wines are generally lower in chemicals, pesticides, and additives.

    I tried the Cave de la Cote Chasselas which was a very light refreshing start. It reminded me of a…read moresoft Sauvignon blanc. I followed with Vin de Days, Maurer Red Fruit November and finished with La Miche Cab Sav. While not quite a fan of the RFN, I did enjoy the La Miche for its savoriness- a perfect dinner pairing wine. Before heading out for my next adventure, I decided to do a glass of the Alta Colina Downslope Red and finish a few chapters of my book. I don't know how to accurately describe wines- but my version, again savory and hearty but not heavy- another good wine for a nice meaty dinner. (Bearing in mind, of course, that I'm also no pairing expert!) Ever After has a unique offering of wines and I look forward to popping in again with some friends! I also plan to check out some of the events I've heard mentioned in my time here. Also... they're preparing for a prix fixe event tonight- it smells absolutely amazing!!
