   First time back to Paragary's in some time. I didn't realize it had traded the higher end of the dining market for a more bistro style. I didn't mind it, and the prices were appropriate for a bistro, but I was hoping for a bit more elegance. Nevertheless, the food was good, not great, and the service was efficient, but again, not in the higher tier of restaurants. Overall, we would probably rate it's sister restaurant down the street, Cafe Bernardo, as better overall, and a bit less expensive. One small thing that showed us early that this was not going to be a high-end restaurant was when the host came to our table and informed us that the seatings were for 90 minutes. Now we had a 6:00 reservation, and I totally get that restaurants want to turn tables for the next seating. But it immediately felt rushed and a bit uncomfortable. A better approach might have been to say something like "Our suggested dining time is 90 minutes, but we want you to relax, so please let us know if you will need more time". So, a nice night out, but I would like to see Paragary's return to it's more polished and elegant days.

   The Ragu was just ok, not much ragu for 22.00. Service was poor. Pace was very slow, after we got our appetizers on top of our just served cocktails. Used to be one of our favorites.

   As always, the food and service was exceptional!! Only disappointment was that the water misters were not working so it was too hot to eat outside on your lovely patio.

    We loved Paragary’s! The atmosphere was amazing. Although we didn’t get to sit outside, our table was close enough to enjoy the ambiance. The food was outstanding! I had pasta and my friend had salmon. Their wine list is fabulous too. Our server, Maria was amazing as well! I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. It was my first visit and I’ll be sure to go back often.

    We were told when seated there would be a 90 minute limit for the seating. We've never encountered this, and service was so slow it would have been impossible anyway, though the restaurant wasn't overly busy. Hot entrees were served barely warm. There are lots of excellent restaurants in the area, this will make it very unlikely we'll return soon.

    While the restaurant wasn’t as busy, it took forever to get out our order in and get the food. And then waited quite a bit until we got our check. The chairs inside are pretty uncomfortable as well. Irregardless, food was okay.

    We met some friends for dinner while we were visiting Sacramento and got to sit outside which is gorgeous. The host did tell us that we only had 90 minutes and that was because "we would have been waiting three hours to sit down" if they didn't cap it. It was a bit abrupt and sorta brought us down a bit. But then we ended up being there over three hours. We had a blast but I do think that what he said didn't match the very slow service of our server/food. That may just be a sign of the times - everyone's short staffed and the restaurant biz is overwhelmed. We were not upset by that but it was a weird ping pong of communication. Even so, the food was super delicious (rigatoni, fettuccini, ravioli, and another one I forgot; and three appetizers) and the lavender lemon drop was terrific. Overall, it was a wonderful evening.

    dramatic, refreshing patio with bougainvillea and water misters, high walled garden. I felt safe from COVID eating outside in this setting. Food was good, could be a bit better, but the ambiance is worth it.

    I took my mom to brunch for her birthday. I’ve had great experiences here for years. Sadly, yesterday was not one of them. It started when I asked if we could move to a table toward the entrance to the courtyard. The maitre d rolled his eyes before nodding his head. I know the place was extremely busy and thanked him profusely but he never cracked a smile or opened his mouth. He had a dour look on his face throughout lunch service as he rushed around clearing tables. Service was not great. No menus were given to us. The incorrect drink was brought to me. The food took over 40 minutes to arrive, and it was lukewarm and dry. They were obviously sitting under a heat lamp. I had to send mine back because my biscuits were hard cool and dense and the eggs were barely warm. The second plate was slightly better but the biscuits were just as hard and dense. The server never came back to check on us. Our water was finally refilled after we were done eating. I asked for a box for the leftovers and they did not come until a busboy came to clear the table and I asked him for the boxes again. I think I will forego going here for brunch here for awhile.

    Our server was so attentive and cheery! I knew she was awesome when she brought our glasses of ice tea AND a pitcher of tea. My husband had the gazpacho and roasted cauliflower and I had the parpadelle chicken. I also had the Caesar salad which was good but there could have been a little more. The chocolate dessert with ice cream disappeared!

    We booked this place for my birthday dinner after multiple recommendations and it did not disappoint! The food was delicious and the lavender lemon drop was divine. The patio provided a perfect setting and the staff was super friendly even though we were some of the last guests of the night. I would definitely return again!

    This place is a really reliable go-to for high-quality, up-scale-ish food cooked beautifully with fresh ingredients. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The menu is pretty limited, but what's on there is great. It is loud AF there though. The music plus the layout makes it hard to have relaxing conversations without raising your voice.

    I’m a fan of his establishment, the ambiance is wonderful, wish they would broaden the menu slightly. Shrimp scampi was 2/5. Ravioli was 4/5 very good. Meatballs 3.5/5, patio is nice to sit at very relaxing. Good wine list and cocktails.

    Enjoyed a Saturday brunch with a table by the beautiful patio. Varied menu. Shared 2 dishes with a friend. Lemon ricotta pancakes were fabulous. The Benedict was fresh with spinach & ham. Tasty, though one of the eggs was over cooked. Potatoes were crispy & delicious! I’d definitely go back for another visit.

    This was our first visit to Paragary’s but it most definitely won’t be our last. The restaurant is beautiful and we were very pleased that we were able to get a table on the patio. As many other reviewers have mentioned, the patio setting is wonderful. Our server, Richard, was delightful and very knowledgeable about both the menu items and the wine list. Our salads were exceptionally fresh and the pasta dishes (served piping hot) were excellent. The bread served here is amazing as were our shared dessert and espresso. Paragary’s is a real gem and clearly one of the best restaurants in the area. Having been less than impressed with the overall dining scene in Sacramento in recent years, I was pleasantly surprised with our dining experience here andI look forward to returning again soon.

    We dined inside due to weather, the food was good, the cocktails were actually mediocre the paragary ice tea was a lot sweeter than I expected and the sangria was kind of meh. But the food was excellent as always. I got the salmon special and my friend had the steak special.

    Restaurant did not have my Open Table Reservation. Ordered a Mimosa waiting for table, did not taste great either Prosecco or Orange Juice. Seated to table ordered eggs Benedict and omelette dish… asked for a side salad. We Switched to Sangria- tasted sour. Sent the drinks back, they remade and were only a bit better- definitely not a good Sangria. Food came by a server, did not ask if we needed any else. Friend wanted Tabasco or any hot sauce. Finally got someone attention- cap was not on and red chili sauce splattered all over a beautiful white shirt. Could not get anyone to assist Potatoes were over cooked and dried out. Side salad was plain. They could do better selections for brunch. Only 3 pieces for side bacon- we were here a couple months ago and recall getting four. Omelette was over cooked dry and do not care for Benedict’s on a biscuit, small bit of bacon and spinach…poor presentation and flavor. Restrooms had no toilet paper in the ladies room and this was at 12:30’Sunday … Manager offered to buy us a drink the next time we come back to compensate for this stained Tabasco shirt. And we all know hot sauce is difficult to get out of clothing. Not impressed on his demeanor or concern, as if he will remember us should we go back and ask for our free drink. Been here many times, definitely gone down hill in quality… I think since Randy Paragary has passed away, the detail is no longer there. Switz

    We had brunch on Sunday. I had the vegetarian omelet. It was quite good. I thought my guest's Benedict looked kind of sparse. No complaints but not earth shattering wonderful either. I like the ambiance on the patio and the area near the patio. I would not want to sit at the tables next to 28th. I had reservations. That is a real plus as so many places you have to wait in line for Sunday Brunch. Parking can be an issue.
