Visconti's - Folsom

This restaurant is fantastic in every way. The food is always cooked perfectly and consistently delicious. They clearly operate efficiently. When they say a takeout order will be ready at a certain time, it's always ready right when they promise. I appreciate their reliability; this place never disappoints and is always punctual. We usually visit at least twice a month, often opting for takeout, and the food is always nice and hot by the time we get home.

**Food** **Garlic Bread:** The garlic bread was incredibly flavorful, topped with just the right amount of butter, garlic, and seasonings. **Fried Ravioli:** A delightful starter! The marinara sauce it came with was delicious and also paired nicely with the garlic bread. **Lasagna:** I was pleasantly surprised by how good the lasagna was. It was rich, cheesy, and had a generous amount of sauce that was simply outstanding! **Pollo Parmigiana:** You can't go wrong with breaded chicken smothered in that fantastic sauce and plenty of melted cheese! **Spaghetti with Vodka Sauce:** This dish accompanied the chicken parm and was really tasty. Our server recommended it since we hadn’t tried it before, and we’re so glad we did. **Caesar Salad:** A generously sized salad that was tasty and perfectly dressed. **Clam Chowder:** I love restaurants that feature clam chowder as a staple, and I was thrilled to find out that Visconti's version is delicious! **Drinks:** **Orange Passion:** This drink tasted like fresh oranges and looked elegant. I would definitely order this again! **Perfect Manhattan:** A well-made Manhattan. **Prosecco Cucumber Cocktail:** Sweet and refreshing, I appreciated that I was given the remaining split to top off my flute. This drink also sported a lovely presentation! We had been wanting to visit Visconti's for some time, but it’s always been busy — now I understand why! If you’re in the mood for rich, comforting, and flavorful Italian food, this is the place to be. The service was exceptional as well; our server was friendly and shared the history of this wonderful family-run restaurant. The entire staff worked together seamlessly to serve us and clear tables, and they were all incredibly welcoming. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu. We totally forgot to order dessert, though, because we were so full! That will definitely be on our list for next time.

I ordered a large combo pizza and linguini with shrimp and asparagus to take away. The pizza was decent, but not exceptional. The crust was not greasy, yet it was quite uneven in thickness. The edges were very thick, while the center was too thin to support the toppings properly. When you pull out a slice, the inner portion tends to stay behind with the pizza—I'm sure you know what I mean. The toppings had a nice variety of the usual ingredients, which was pleasant. The pasta dish was satisfactory, though a bit greasy for my taste. The linguini was cooked al dente, and the shrimp were perfectly prepared. I would have preferred if they had trimmed the thicker parts of the asparagus. I'm definitely planning to try their Margherita pizza next time!

The food is consistently excellent, and the staff is the friendliest you'll encounter anywhere. I dined in for lunch, and the price was around $20–30 per person. I highly recommend the Fried Calamari—it's perfectly light and fried just as it should be—as well as the Veal Piccata, Chicken Marsala, and Visconti's Garlic Bread.
