Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Sacramento

My wife and I had a wonderful belated Valentine’s Day dinner at Allora. The Polpo and Mussel starters were magnificent. Her entree of Waygu steak was very tender and flavorful. My scallops were excellent. Our waitress remembered us from previous visits and was friendly and knowledgeable of all the options on the menu. When the bar did not have the whiskey I requested they suggested a replacement that was a perfect substitute. The service , atmosphere and food were impeccable. A memorable experience.

Still my favorite eats in Sac. Valentine’s meal was amazing. My wife and I will always return and bring friends and visitors because we trust Canon. My only request is please get some non alcohol beer. Literally the biggest trend in food and beverage right now, everyone has great ones… and $8 bitter sodas are just not where it’s at. Normalize more non alcohol options!

We've celebrated many events at Firehouse but this year was the first time we spent our Valentine dinner there. And it was fabulous! We sat down in the basement where one of their wine cellars is located. It was very quiet. Very cozy. The food, as usual, was fantastic! A four course meal and wine was absolutely delicious. Our main server and the rest of the wait staff that took care of us were very accommodating. We've decided that future Valentine dinners too will be celebrated at the Firehouse.

Bottega in Napa offers an unforgettable dining experience with its exceptional menu. We started with crispy Calamari, perfectly paired with a tangy dipping sauce. The Ricotta Gnocchi della Nonna was rich and melt-in-your-mouth, while the Carbonara al Carbone delivered smoky, savory flavors. The Pollo alla Diavola was perfectly cooked, with a fiery kick that complemented the tender chicken. The Habachi added a unique flair, and the Truffle Fries were decadent and crispy. Paired with a glass of Flowers Pinot Noir and Italian wine, the meal was an absolute delight. Bottega combines innovation and tradition, making it a must-visit in Napa. Celebrated my husband birthday and definitely we will come back here again.

We had reservations and arrived on time, were seated after a 10 minute wait. The restaurant is quite large and was busy with a robust noise level. Focaccia was delivered shortly after we were seated, however we had to request the crusty bread service twice before getting it. My husband’s branzino was excellent-tasty and cooked perfectly. The ravioli was also very good-I ordered a split order-three ravioli in lemon sauce, three in tomato sauce. We did not save room for dessert but the selection was appealing. The price is reasonable. After a full day of wine tasting we did not order from the beverage/wine list. Ample parking.
