What a great place. Sangria was delicious and a bit on the drier side. Food was delicious , calzone was hot and wonderful carb dream.

Excellent Italian place in downtown Sac. Service is quick and friendly . Food portions were just right and the food was perfectly seasoned. Lots of vegetarian options too! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

The gemelli spinaci pasta was delish! And so was the peach bellini and the crispy risotto balls appetizer and my hubby like his spicy pizza . All around great dining, we will be back!

Melanie Weir

Gluten-free pasta is available. A dedicated strainer should be used and bread kept from near plate. The pollo penne is currently my favorite dish! Request no bread near your plate.
