User Rating: 5 out of 5 starsExcellent! If you want to get out of the city and enjoy the feel of a small town without sacrificing taste then this is the place for you. I live in Sacramento and it was worth the drive. I didn't have to worry about finding a parking spot or even paying for parking. There was no traffic, the food was wonderful, even the bread they bring you is superb and tastes completely homemade. I made a reservation, but even if you have to wait a little, you can always get a glass of wine and wait out front. They project clips of Italy and classic movies out front on the building wall.

This place is great! Just what the foothills needed as far as Italian goes. I stumbled on it one day for lunch. I was doing some work on my property in Newcastle and remembered there was a mexican restaurant in that location. I went for lunch and found it had been replaced with an italian retsaurant. I gave it a try and I was immediatly hooked. I excitedly came home and told my wife that we just had to go for dinner one evening. She became hooked also. Their red sauce is the best I have ever had and their seafood specials on weekends are a real treat. The bread is to die for. I think its the same as they use for the pizza. The desserts are equally as good. We have had nothing but excellent food and outstanding service. We are addicted to this place and if you like truly authentic italian dishes you will be too.

This review appears to be for an entirely different restaurant in an entirely different location, not to mention that it is from an experience in 1972 which is hardly relevant to 2009!
