I REGRET I WROTE THIS NEGATIVE REVIEW 3 WEEKS AGO. IT WAS AN OFF NIGHT AND I SHOULD HAVE SPOKEN TO THE SERVER. I HAVE A NEW REVIEW BELOW BASED ON OUR FAMILY VISIT OF MAY 23. PLEASE READ. This is the old one: One Speed is our favorite restaurant in Sacramento. However, on Thursday night we were there with a friend who had never been to One Speed. It was not a good experience. The friend and I both ordered the House Made Fettuccine ala Bolognese... The noodles were under cooked and were too long. The sauce was mediocre. My friend ate three bites and nothing else. I ate half of mine. It was very disappointing because we love One Speed. It was an off night but I thought the restaurant should know about this. Wine was great.
NEW REVIEW FOR MAY 23 VISIT. Last week our family dined at One Speed. We had a marvelous time. We all loved the food, the wait staff, and the ambiance. The wine is also very good and affordable. One Speed is our family's favorite Sacramento restaurant. There were five of us, one visiting from out of town and we had a wonderful time together. I wish I could explain why we always have almost a joyful experience at One Speed. The atmosphere affords for good conversation and lots of laughter. We are all so happy during and after the our dining adventure. Five stars for One Speed. And thank you to the excellent cooking...
Read moreOneSpeed may specialize in pizza but they excel at everything they do.
We went for an early dinner, arriving at around 5:00 and were seated immediately. The staff were friendly and very attentive, we never need to ask for basic needs like silverware or refills on beverages, they always seemed to know if we needed anything.
The food was exceptional. The foccacia and red pepper hummus appetizer was delicious and great for sharing with the table. Their pizzas are made with super fresh ingredients and the crust is perfectly crunchy and chewy at the same time while not being too thick or doughy...the margherita, with its fresh basil and fresh mozerella, was a favorite. The standout for me was the handkerchief pasta with shrimp and scallops in a lobster stock, absolutely a must for any seafood enthusiast...one of the best seafood pastas I've ever had. They had a great selection of beers and wines as well.
They offer both indoor and outdoor seating with appropriate distancing. Parking in the area can be challenging...do not let that deter you though, OneSpeed is definitely worth circling the block to find a parking spot.
I cannot wait...
Read moreThe food was very good. Our waitress was a little uptight about boxes or bags for our leftovers though. I had the house made italian sausage pizza and it was superb! My friend had the New Jersey pie. Half of his was left over, and a third of mine. My girlfriend had the chicken and said it was very good. The waitress brought our leftover pizzas wrapped in aluminum foil and the chicken in a togo box. I asked our waitress about a bag. She said she would ask someone about a bag, came back and said there was none. I asked about a box she commented about the box being too big, but I had to insist. I then asked another server who gave me a bag for the other leftovers. The manager then asked if everything was alright. I commented about the difficulty of getting bags for the leftovers from a $70 meal. She said they ran out of bags yesterday. I guess they just aren't keeping their restaurant stocked, although I felt chastised by the waitress for wanting to protect my leftovers better... ...Regarding the leftover food...my apologies that I did not want to waste the leftover food with improper packaging. I am sorry you think that...
