7 Best Italian Restaurants near Auburn

“Great substitute for the now terrible Tres Pazzi! Recommend the beef ravioli with meat sauce, chx Parm, rigatoni w/creamy prosciutto and the seafood pasta. All very good. Also the free bread at the table was good garlic bread! I didn't love the cannoli for dessert. But generally a great dinner.“

“I didn't give a 5 star on food just because I only had appetizers. I highly recommend the brie and bread and the fried zucchini. The appetizers were big, and I had a ton of zucchini. My husband did get the French dip. He said it was ok. Service was great and liked the chill atmosphere. I will definitely be going back.“

“Thank you Pizza Factory for providing a wonderful atmosphere for our church baptism after glow party! Your staff was warm and accommodating, and your pizza was delicious! The party room we had was so comfortable with the big hearth fireplace in the room. There was plenty of space for us all and we were thoroughly blessed by our time together there!!!? “

“We didn't feel rushed, the food was amazing and the service was great. We will definitely be back. It was great to get to eat Italian food that could still be gluten free. I loved all their veg.Vegetarian options: There are several choices for vegetarian options and it is labeled on the menu.Dietary restrictions: They have a specific gluten free menu upon request. There were a lot of choices, including appetizers, main courses and even dessert. We will have to go again on our way home to try the things we missed on our first visit.“

“Went on a Wednesday night, party of two and got seated right away indoors. Great, quaint and dimly lit restaurant with some decent old jazz music and Dean Martin going on in the background. Servers kept re-upping their freshly made bread with balsamic/olive oil dip which is essential for an Italian restaurant and a great touch. Enjoyed some good wine, linguine & clam and spaghetti dishes which were excellent. Only thing I wish they would start doing is putting small candles or lamps at your table, can get a little dark in there. We'll definitely go again.“

“My family stopped here for lunch one day as we were driving through Rocklin. We didn’t know much about the store let alone the cafe. Boy were we pleasantly surprised. We all had some type of sandwich and they were delicious and huge! Our server was also extremely pleasant and anticipated our needs. What a great place!“

“I ordered the pan combo thick crush. The pizza was extremely hot. The pizza had a really good flavor. The pizza would have been perfect, just the dough seemed to have not cooked enough for my liking. Kind of doughy just a little and could have had just more sauce. The toppings were falling off the pizza a little more than expected but overall. I enjoyed it. 5 star! Very good!“
