Skipolinis Rocklin — Restaurant in Rocklin

The place appeared well cared for and staffed. The employees seemed to enjoy the work. We sat in a nice booth. Halfway through the meal, my wife noticed a puddle underfoot. We told the waitress, and she said she would clean it up after we left.

The food. I ordered the bacon wrapped jalapeños. They were ok but definitely needed the accompanying ranch. I'd give it a 6.1 out of 10. My wife had the seafood risotto, which I tasted was not bad. A 6.4 .

I heard good things about their pizza. The crust was good, 7.7 on that. I ordered the large black & white, containing a white garlic sauce with mushrooms, roasted garlic, and italian sausage. I chose it because I like garlic. I ate 1 full slice before deciding on a score. I couldn't taste any garlic even after adding salt. So I requested additional garlic, which really helped. Overall pizza score, a 6.9 this time. The waitress noticed i wasn't eating more pizza and assumed we were done, so she handed over the bill. I asked for the dessert menu. I saw the gelato so I asked for affogato, she said that they don't do that. Surprised, I went ahead and requested the strawberry gelato. It...

I don’t do this often, but this was a horrible experience. Not the service, but the food was horrific. The thing that bothered me was the fact that none of us finished our plates and when they asked us if we wanted boxes to go we all said no. Back in the day restaurants cared about people and would come back and ask if everything was alright with the food if they took that much food back to the kitchen to throw it away. I would have said something, but I was with a group of people and I would have had a lot to say and did not want to have other tables over hear and cause a bad experience for someone else.

I ordered chicken parmigiana and I have never had a worse piece of chicken, it was soggy breading, tough, and bland, the pasta was edible, but nowhere near worth it. Everyone else had something to say about their food as well. The most positive review from one at the table was it passes as long as I added salt and pepper to it. My son took one bite of the burger and pushed his plate away.

We will not be back to this place again and I do not see how they made it this far with the quality and cost...

Prego Pizza - We checked out Skipolinis primarily to try their famous Prego Pizza - i was at 37+ weeks and willing to try about anything. Our pie came loaded up with Italian sausage, mushroom, bell pepper, pepperoni, salami and onions! It was delicious, especially the pizza crust - crispy on the outside and soft and buttery middle. Hubby, who never eats the crust, devoured every bite! It was definitely a knife and fork meal for me, as the topping kept falling off. Still yummy! $19.95 for a small, which has 6 slices.

Caprese salad - This was a large tomato, basil and buffalo mozzarella salad. It was just ok. The yellow tomatoes were not ripe enough (ie hard) and cut too thick. The red tomatoes were too soft. And not enough balsamic vinaigrette. $12.99.

Buffalo wings - cooked well, and very saucy. 8 Large sized wings, and comes with carrot, celery and delicious ranch sauce. I would get this again.

Overall, a nice lunch or dinner spot. Service is nice, and full bar. Unfortunately the pizza didn’t induce labor for me, but I’d still return for some yummy...
