Paragary’s is a lively neighborhood restaurant with modern California flair, located in the heart of Midtown, Sacramento.

Originally established in 1983, the restaurant underwent an extensive remodel in 2015, combining both modern and traditional elements to create a relaxed, timeless environment that lets the food and drinks take center stage. The light and airy interior opens up to the renowned dining patio that features waterfalls, 60 year-old olive trees and a large fireplace.

    Wonderful visit in midtown Sacramento, close to our hotel. Outstanding, attentive service, and the food was very good. The patio area in back is very charming … a lovely spot to enjoy dinner. Good wine selection as well. We left satisfied.

    Always outstanding food and service! Started at the bar and the bartender was so nice to explain the cocktail I thinking of getting. Even brought me out a sample. The off to a wonderful dinner in the courtyard. Couldn't ask for better food and service. Looking forward to going back!

    Our party of 3 were disappointed with the quality of food, though the one dish we had that was good was the Smoked Trout. The service was slow, the server was not attentive and was unable to answer several basic questions about the menu. Our flatware was removed each time our dishes were cleared from the table, but we were never given replacements. We ended up taking them from the table next to us (twice!) Would have expected more from an established restaurant.

    Beautiful restaurant. The patio is stunning! The staff were incredibly cordial and friendly, and provided perfect attention. Food was hit or miss. We absolutely loved the meatballs. The chicken in the pasta and the halibut were a little on the dry side. We would definitely try again because we loved the ambiance so much.

    Food and service - excellent. Awkward three sided table for 4 where I was looking directly at the couple at the next table over and having difficulty hearing my friends because of the setup, not great. If you get seated at this strange corner table, I would be asked to move elsewhere. Maybe Paragary’s should eliminate this table all together.

    We were celebrating a double Birthday. They did honor our reservation request for patio seating, which was lovely. But, our waiter was not efficient from the beginning of the meal to the end, from taking our drink requests through dessert & paying for our meals. We were at the table 2 hours & 45 minutes, not by our choice. Our entrées were cold to semi-warm. 1 entrée was returned for replacement due to being stone cold. Our waiter disappeared between courses, leaving us for extended periods of time between courses & paying the bill. We observed tables being turned over all around us. And, people were served their courses & meals before us, who arrived after our table of 4. This was a very disappointing evening with a high price tag for such a poor meal. We would hope Paragary's would in the future employ staff who are capable of providing better service to their customers. We will seek other venues for our casual & special occasion dining in the future.

    This restaurant is a wonderful oasis in Midtown Sacramento!! The food is “farm to table” fresh with a fantastic chef who combines a delicious medley of flavors that is beautifully displayed. They have a good selection of spirits too. The patio looks like a tropical oasis with water-fall fountains and relaxing music. This is a must place to have lunch, brunch, or dinner!!!

    I had the Pork Rage with Pasta; I would have liked a little more Ragu; it was good, also we had Mussles for an appetizer and I would have liked a few more mussels. My wife's Spaghetti and clams was a good amount. Our dishes were good.

    AMAZING. The interior design was beautiful and although we sat inside we could see the patio which also looked extravagant and we want to sit there next time. The service was excellent and the food was literally perfect, zero complaints. We ordered 2 apps , drinks , a main course each and 2 desserts. Everything was delicious and the flavors all complimented each other perfectly. Will be going back again. 11/10 .

    Server was very nice; seemed as though he could hear well, made mistake on our order (ordered something I preferred to wait for). He asked if I wanted the item and I said "not yet" and he seemed to think I said "yes." We had to ask several times for jelly, refills. But his friendliness was redeeming:)

    My bavette steak was excellent; tender, flavorful, the medium-rare I asked for, and beautifully plated with delicious sides. My husband ordered pasta with pork ragu; it was had terrific flavor. The portions were ample for both dishes. The caesar salad my husband ordered was underdressed for his taste, but our server promptly brought him more dressing after he requested it. The restaurant is beautiful, both inside and out on the patio. The small coatracks next to each table were very helpful for holding my sweater and purse during dinner. Our server was friendly and efficient.
