Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Visconti’s is a treasure and the Folsom area is lucky to have them. With so many franchise based eateries around, it is a treat to have a family run restaurant succeed and best them all in terms of food served, service and affordability. On a...recent Saturday evening a large party of us “broke bread” and thoroughly enjoyed our appetizers and meals. All were served hot … no cold plates here. Hardly a word was spoken while eating, always a good sign that the food was good. Without a doubt, Visconti’s is your best bet for Italian food in the Sacramento area.More

What a wonderful, family owned restaurant! Food and service were amazing! The bruschetta and calamari appetizers were delicious. The calamari had the right spice to it. My pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was tasty, full of shrimp, calamari and mussels. And the garlic...bread was so good! For dessert we had the tiramisu- amazing! Good selection of wines and they also have a full bar. This is the place to go if you want delicious Italian food.More

I am on an extended visit to Folsom Ca. and have had pizza at Chicago Fire and Skipolini’s and Visconti’s has been the best so far. Others in the group had Chicken Parmigiana and Fettuccini Alfredo with garlic bread and enjoyed it. Tiramisu was good...but I couldn’t believe they were out of Cannoli’s. What Italian restaurant runs out of Cannolis. That’s why the 4/5 stars. We will be back/do take out again.More

We've been frequenting both Visconti's and Papa Gianni's for many years. I ordered a pizza today. The person who took the order seems to be in a rush and was quite rude. It felt as if you were ordering from a fast food joint. I...asked for a side of pizza sauce. She charged $4.25 for a side of MARINARA -!sauce (not what I wanted). When she told me about the price, she had already ran the credit card. She seemed not to care much when I told her the prices was excessive for a side of pizza sauce. I asked to speak to a manager to express my concern (I wanted a refund and have no need for marinara) and was told they don't have managers! Food is always delicious but service the last few times visited have be subpar at best. It's unfortunate that such an establishment has a person who seems to insensitive and hostile when it comes to interacting with customers right when you walk in. Lesson learned.More

Have been to eat at this Family style restaurant many times and generally service is good as is the food. Went a couple of weeks ago and service was beyond bad. Our server JEFF was so preoccupied with a group of people across from us...that he totally neglected us, appetizer came after entrees and there was no compensation for the fact that we had been sitting there for thirty minutes listening to the neighbors discourse on Fremont and the good old days etc. We have had this server in the past with no problem, but here was no excuse here as we were the only other people in the place. I should have written this 2 weeks ago but that does not change the fact that we were terribly disappointed and it may be a long time before we go back if ever. Too much competition out there for lousy service.More

When I walk in the door of Visconti's I smile; it's like a homecoming. It's busy, the staff is attentive and upbeat and occasionally other guests greet you as well. Often, the owner will stop by your table to check on you while his wife...keeps an eye on the kitchen. The food is excellent as is the wine list. Reservations are recommended. There is a joy that comes from feeling welcome, and when you combined that with great food and wine it's magic--That's Visconti's.More

Coming from the east coast, it’s not so easy to find a really good Italian restaurant elsewhere but Visconti’s was a big hit with all those in my party. Service was very good and prices comparable to other nice area restaurants. The food was excellent...and the portions were large, we all went home with food. House wine was very good and reasonably priced. Highly recommend!More

This place serves mainly predictable cuisine. Take something tasteless, cover it in some sort of red sauce and bake a slice of processed cheese on to it. While that might be culinary excellence for the family that runs it, it hardly suffices any longer. Perhaps...the only thing more disappointing than the food is the service. We recently waited more than 45 minutes after our reservation time. They said that they were waiting for our table to clear and it would be just a minute longer. After40 minutes they were talking about either turning us away or perhaps setting up something temporary outside. Given the good choices locally, with more becoming available every day, why would anyone patronize this place.More

We were here on 1/13/19 for my son's birthday and it was a very disappointing experience. We ordered the following dishes Linguini & Clams, Linguini & Mussels, Spaghetti di Campagnia with shrimp. Of all three only the clams dish was edible. Luckily it is for...the birthday boy and that was the saving grace. My spaghetti di campagnia was absolutely horrible and had zero flavor. The dish has a lot of quantity but absolutely no taste. I am no expert but I think the proportions were off. For the amount of pasta, I don't think there is enough sauce to provide the taste. The shrimp are large but they looked frozen and uncooked. The minestrone soup is watery. I will be honest and give 5 stars to the way we were received and treated during the entire meal. It was nice to Mr. Visconti going around the tables and greeting his customers. We will never go back.More

Food is good - you will never leave hungry. This is a family owned and operated restaurant with all family members working and welcoming the patrons. They make you feel like you are part of the family and make you want to come back often....definitely a place to return to.More

I had my dinner here the day before California International Marathon, with my wife and toddler son. I requested for extra portion of pasta for carbo-loading before the race and they honored it at a reasonable price. The vegetarian pizza ordered by wife also is...very well done with loads of vegetables. The complementary garlic bread is also tasty. It is also located nicely between a bunch of hotels, so a nice location for visitors staying in a Folsom hotel.More

This is our go to place for family dinners out. Whether it is pizza, spaghetti and meatballs or the special of the day, the food is always fantastic! And when the owner comes out to greet each table, it truly makes everyone feel special.
