Best Italian Restaurants in Folsom

I had a great lunch with a best friend, & we enjoyed fantastic service & really good food. We were in the atrium (that’s what was available when I made the reservation 2 weeks ago), & it was very loud in there. That said, 6-8 men were seated at the large table next to us, & they had loud voices, & drowned out the sound of any of the other tables, so perhaps it was just the dynamics of that situation. It might not be so noisy in that room on any other day.

This is a great location for a quiet meal catching up with friends. Outdoor area is lovely when temps allow. Great service every time. We are never rushed.

Our family birthday celebration was beautifully handled by Il Fornaio. Devon, our waiter, was efficient, thoughtful, and friendly: a real professional! Our cocktails were perfectly prepared, wine service was handled well and service of appetizers and entrees was great. All of the food was tasty. An excellent restaurant.

Vacanza is an amazing restaurant. First, you feel like family. They are so welcoming. The service is wonderful. The food is so delicious and unusual. Unusual in a good way because everything is house made from the huge, delicious croutons to the incredible pastas. Last night I had the Pappardelle Ripienne. A tasty sauce with eggplant, garlic confit, and hazelnut butter and pesto. It was wrapped in the pappardelle. So yummy. It was my birthday and they served me a complimentary tiramisu that was also house made and so tasty. This restaurant is definitely a neighborhood gem.

Celebrating with close friends at a great restaurant has the opportunity to create a memorable experience. When the service is outstanding, the food excellent, and sitting among long time friends - it just doesn’t get any better. Allora came through on every level. They more than made this event wonderful.
