"Place was very good. I felt like eating breakfast at 7 p.m., and this place filled the desire perfectly. Food tasted good and was worth my money. It is also not far from my house and the server was very friendly. The reason I left a 4 star because I have been in places where the potatoes and eggs feel fresher and more tasty than homemade cooking (Cricket's Country Kitchen in Sacramento), while here it was only good and the bread had much butter (I would ask for bread with butter on the side next time). If you do not want that far from Elk Grove and want something that is not close to 2pm, but this place is perfect. But I have to say that the bacon was the best cooked bacon I've ever had."

"What an amazing experience! The food was amazing the quaint atmosphere of the restaurant made the experience even better. Big shout out to our server Aiden who was very helpful personable. The entire staff supporting the dining experience was very professional seemed to care about doing a great job. The only reason I gave Service a four-star is because when we arrived (which was about 10 minutes early for our reservation) the hostess told us that it would be a short wait (that's understandable) . Our reservation was at 8pm and we saw several groups leaving at 805 I inquired about our seating status and was told it would be another 15 minutes. I kinda got irritated reminded her that our reservation was at 8pm...(I think she was on auto-pilot with her response to me about the wait) ....very shortly thereafter we were seated thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the evening. I highly recommend plan on visiting again."

"Fun. My boyfriend loves this place, the fish is pretty fresh as far as chain food goes. I love spinning the wheel for my birthday. I really liked the skewered beef. Not much of a fish eating kinda person. But have tried a bite of each thing on the sushimi platter and none tasted really fishy that was a plus for me."

"This restaurant offers excellent Italian cuisine served in generous American portions. There's a wide variety of Italian dishes, ensuring that everyone in your group will find something they enjoy. The flavors are satisfying, leaving you feeling content and full until the very last bite. Be sure to save some room for dessert, as it perfectly complements the meal. The prices are very reasonable given the portion sizes, so you can expect to take some leftovers home. The customer service is exceptionally friendly and attentive, making for an overall pleasant dining experience. Parking is convenient and easily accessible. The interior is well-designed, making it suitable for both casual family dinners and more formal date nights. Overall, I was highly impressed—this is one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve encountered in Northern California. If you're in the Sacramento area and looking for a filling and delightful Italian dining experience that caters to a variety of tastes, this is the place to go."

"Make sure to check in on Yelp before going to this restaurant. If not, you may have to wait for an hour on a Sunday afternoon. Even after being seated, it took another 30 minutes before our food arrived. It's hard to give this place a 4 or 5 star rating.. The service was good (despite the wait), and the food was fantastic when it came out correctly. The siu mai was especially delicious. However, 6 out of our 8 soup dumplings were already broken, resulting in minimal soup. One piece of pork with bone in our pork chop fried rice was strangely much drier than the others. But the dishes that were good really stood out. We ordered two appetizers (soup dumplings, siu mai) and one dish (pork chop fried rice), which was more than enough for two people with leftovers, all for about $50 after tax and tip."
