Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Woodland

Love this place! Great food, great service, lovely location. We go here for special occasions (birthdays, anniversaries, etc) and would go more often but a) it's expensive, and b) it's an hour plus drive for us. Still, we always look forward to going back.

The French Onion Soup is to die for!! Hope they add some cheese fondue and savory crepes to their menu someday… it’s a French bistro - where else to get such delicacies?!

Very beautiful place. The service was outstanding, everyone was working as a team helping out, the food was amazing, we enjoyed wood grilled octopus and that was very tender and very good! Also had the the the spaghetti and the flavor was very good, the sauce and noodles we very good taste, definitely recommend that. We finish off with the 21 Day Dry Aged Tomahawk and that was a lot of meat and very good. It was good for 2 people. All 3 dishes was outstanding !!! Really recommend this place.

We had quite the memorable dinner at Ella. To begin with, we ordered the fresh baked bread and butter. The bread was so very fresh, and the butter light and delicious. We also ordered the butter leaf salad with an incredible dressing. The lettuce and vegetables were so crisp and fresh, along with the incredible salad dressing...it was delightful. For an appetizer, we ordered the mushrooms with in-house made fresh ricotta cheese... another incredibly delicious symphony of flavors that melted in your mouth. Our main course was the Salmon, absolutely incredibly delicious! It was lightly grilled on the outside cooked medium.. The salmon literally melted in your mouth like a marsh mellow. By far, Ella is the very best fine dining restaurant in the Sacramento area.

Environment is elegant but not stuffy. Service is superior. Our server invested time early on explaining the menu in detail which was very helpful. Pace of the four course dinner was relaxed but not too slow. The food was amazing and Allora clearly deserves its stellar reputation.
