Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Granite Bay

This was our second year in a row enjoying a birthday dinner for my wife. We always have young children with us, and the staff is accommodating and understanding. The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is family friendly, and the service is top notch.

We’ve eaten at several il Fornaio’s over the years. The Roseville property is THE BEST! Cozy decor, and excellent service in bar and dining room. Better cooking than at the other IF’s and better service. (We won’t go to the Walnut Creek IF any longer - poorly managed and not work the value experience.) The Roseville property is outstanding! GO!

We had quite the memorable dinner at Ella. To begin with, we ordered the fresh baked bread and butter. The bread was so very fresh, and the butter light and delicious. We also ordered the butter leaf salad with an incredible dressing. The lettuce and vegetables were so crisp and fresh, along with the incredible salad dressing...it was delightful. For an appetizer, we ordered the mushrooms with in-house made fresh ricotta cheese... another incredibly delicious symphony of flavors that melted in your mouth. Our main course was the Salmon, absolutely incredibly delicious! It was lightly grilled on the outside cooked medium.. The salmon literally melted in your mouth like a marsh mellow. By far, Ella is the very best fine dining restaurant in the Sacramento area.

Environment is elegant but not stuffy. Service is superior. Our server invested time early on explaining the menu in detail which was very helpful. Pace of the four course dinner was relaxed but not too slow. The food was amazing and Allora clearly deserves its stellar reputation.

Really quiet on this Monday but our server Janae was really good and respectful of our timeline, very professional and pleasant. The food was delicious: the house salad was fresh and the dressing tasty and tangy! I had the Seabass from the special menu and it melted in my mouth.
