Good place, not a bad place, decent food options with friendly staff. So why the 4 stars? With only 4 parties in the entire restaurant, it took us over 40 min to get our food after we ordered it.

The best Italian restaurant you’ll find in the Sacramento Area, by FAR. Worth every penny! So delicious, we forgot to take a pictures of the main course! Zinfandel is my family’s favorite restaurant. We have been here numerous times and they never fail to impress. The atmosphere is outstanding and the food is out of this world! Comfortable, luxury, and welcoming; this restaurant brings a new meaning to comfort food. Mario and his staff are ever-present, conscientious, and attentive. The food is always served hot, perfectly balanced, and mouth-wateringly flavorful! Every dish on the menu is perfectly crafted and delectable. Prepare for a heart-warming meal-of-the-year that will leave you excited for your next visit!

My husband and I went to this restaurant for dinner today for the first time and it is our new favorite place to eat. Everything we had was fresh, authentic, and absolutely delicious– and all good sized portions. You really get quality here. We were greeted with friendliness and warmth from the moment we stepped through the doors to the moment we left. This place has a great vibe and super pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommend. We’ll be supporting this awesome family run restaurant from here on out regularly.

The best meal I have had out to eat in a very long time! I had the special sea bass and it was delicious and my boyfriend had the lamb chops and said they were the best he has had. Mushroom salad is something you have to try! Service was great and love that it is family owned, cause you are treated like family. We will definitely be regulars!!!

We took some dear friends here and were sadly disappointed by this restaurant. Our guests enjoyed their food but my husband and I recognized a few things. 1) Don’t get the pork chop. It was tasteless and so overcooked. Good portion but a good portion of disappointment. 2) the caprese salad was without a key ingredient, basil. Rather is was mozzarella and tomatoes on a bed of spring mix. 3) There are boxes stacked in front of the main counter that make the place look contrary to the level with which the restaurant wants to charge for its food and ambience.

I really liked the overall ambiance of this restaurant. I initially wanted to give this restaurant a 3 halfway through dinner but they ended up really making up for lots in the end. The food wasn’t bad. We started with the Carpaccio. We both agreed it was good, maybe just a few less capers. I had the Filet Mignon and the fiancé had the rack of lamb. The proteins were flavorful but my mash lacked flavor and so did the fiancé’s rice pilaf. Overall we were both happy with our choices. The waiter made sure our waters and wine were filled which was nice. They have a nice full bar with a tv near by. Kind of unique setting. The outdoor patio was nice for the more casual. The bar area was almost separated from the main dining area which is cool in case someone gets over excited about the games. They also have booth and table options as well. At the end of dinner the waiter asked if we wanted dessert, we asked what they had and he said, ‘I’m not sure’. We chuckled but he came back with a complete memorIzed list. We were both in agreement that the restaurant was a 3 star until the desert came. We chose the chocolate lava cake. Even though there wasn’t any lava it was delicious! To our surprise our waiter came with a small sample sized glass of red wine to pair with it. We loved it! Not sure what exactly it was but it’s rare where an employee goes above and beyond to make sure your enjoying your experience! We will be back for sure!

I think this place could be a real nice place if someone could pay attention to the detail like washing the deck where we now eat ,wiping down tables before someone seats at them.

We met friends for dinner and it was very good. The carpaccio was nicely done, and I had the lamb chops, which were perfectly prepared. They seem understaffed as service was a little less than attentive, but overall we had a great experience. They could use a few craft cocktails as they only offer standard drinks. Spoiled you say? Yes!
