If you crave Italian flavors that bring serious excitement to your lunch break, head to OBO’s Italian Table & Bar in East Sacramento. This is the lively local spot where fresh food, bright flavors, and friendly faces come together every day, making every meal—that’s right—even Monday lunch, an occasion worth savoring. No reservations needed, ever.
A Feast for the Eyes and the Appetite
Step inside and you’ll spot a stunning combination of a classic brick building, glowing white tile floors, and pops of color all around. Whether you’re a fan of basking in the Sacramento sun on the patio or sticking to the cool comfort of the café, you’ll find plenty of seats and a food counter filled with salads, baked goods, and side dishes that’ll have you pointing and ordering sooner than you can say “rigatoni.”
Friendly, speedy service and a no-fuss vibe mean you can chill with your crew, bring the kids, or just zip in solo for something amazing.
Signature Dishes: Try to Pick Just One
The menu is packed with Italian favorites that balance tradition with bold flavors:
-
Pasta lovers will smile at the sight of Rigatoni Bolognese, rich with beef and pork, or Short Rib Pappardelle dressed up in tomato and pancetta. Creamy Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo delivers maximum comfort, while Spaghetti & Meatballs brings everyone back to basics.
-
Pizza fans, rejoice: Wood-fired pizzas come topped with farm-fresh ingredients. Go for the creamy Truffled Mushroom Pizza or spice things up with the Hot Italian Pizza loaded with pepperoni, pancetta, and a drizzle of honey.
-
Fresh salads shine here, too. The Burrata and Beet Salad is a must for anyone who loves a little creamy next to earthy, and the OBO’ Caesar perks up lunchtime greens with fried shallots and a perfect six-minute egg.
-
Grab a sandwich and get messy: The Meatball Sandwich is legendary, and you can also pile your plate with Italian Beef, Chicken Saltimbocca, or the over-the-top Hero loaded with meats, cheese, and spicy vinaigrette.
Vegetarian-friendly and gluten-sensitive options are always on deck.
Lunch Hour = Happy Hour
Make your weekdays happier with Aperitivo Hour, running Monday through Friday from 2:30 to 5:30PM. Take a break from your screen and grab a seat at the bar to enjoy drink specials—think $5 glasses of wine or cocktails—and snack on bites like pistachio-dusted burrata, zesty marinated olives, or classic meatballs. Each dish is made for pairing, so go ahead and build your own mid-afternoon food-and-drink flight.
Desserts Worth Stretching Lunch
Don’t rush back to work before scooping up dessert—Tiramisu with mascarpone cream and coffee-soaked ladyfingers, Chocolate Mousse Bars on crunchy cookie crusts, and sunny Lemon Meringue Pie Parfaits will fix your sweet tooth in minutes. Trying to sneak in a bit of fruit? Say yes to the Raspberry Cheesecake Bar or the unforgettable Banana Pudding Parfait.
Cookies fans, get in line for a classic Chocolate Chip Cookie or the over-the-top Salted Caramel Sandwich Cookie. House-baked treats rotate regularly, so there’s always something new to try.
Lunch Made Easy, Fast, and Fun
Dine in, swing by for a grab-and-go box, or order up a feast for your whole office. Everything, from the deli salads to the citrus-spiked roasted veggies, is prepared fresh and fast, so you can swing through and still make it back to your afternoon meeting.
You want more? Every Monday is Meatball Monday, so fill your plate with specials featuring the restaurant’s famous beef-and-pork meatballs on pasta, polenta, or piled high in a sandwich.
