Editorial Review for Ettore's – by Sarah Van Den Bosch
The Scene
This is as close as Sacramento gets to a European cafe. The camaraderie among staff and patrons is apparent at first glance--order at the counter and the pleasant staff delivers food to your table as you chat with the people seated around you. Chairs and tables are tightly packed and walls are decorated for the most recent holiday. The limited dining area is full at all meals.
The Food
The baked goods and sandwiches are some of Sac's best. Soups, salads and sandwiches are generously made with the freshest ingredients. The Caesar is crisp and cheesy. The turkey panini served on thick country bread with a side of pasta salad is simple and flavorful. The juicy hamburger is made to order and arrives on a cheddar-scallion roll that perfectly complements the meat's spices. Breakfast and dessert require a view of the bakery case for homemade danishes, breads and a decadent, gooey Chocolate Kahlua cake.

Insider Tips
Save TimeStep up to the counter to order, but send a friend to find a table while you wait in line--they fill up fast.
Save MoneyAmple half-portions are available for the salads and are about $2 cheaper than the full order.
Know Before You GoIt's best to order specific cakes at least a day or two ahead, but a selection is always available for last-minute birthday pick-ups.

I agree that Etorre's is a great bakery. BUT, because it is so.... the service lacks in quality more than the average bakery. I ordered a cake .... 48hrs in advance and it went downhill from there. I asked for specific instructions with the cake (which they failed on), plus, the cake was damaged on the side - and they were still going to give it to me!! I was very dissappointed, but because of a lack of time, had to settle on getting a fruit tart instead --- great bakery, but I won't be back in the future.....

This can be a bit pricey but if I remember correctly there is a deal where you get a salad, entree and dessert all for one reasonable price. Best to go that direction if you decide to do a whole meal here. Otherwise, come here for the dessert only and you will be in heaven!
Pros: Desserts, Food is good
Cons: Counter service, Can be expensive
