Guinevere’s Caf’e & Bistro

wow this is by far the worst Olive Garden in the Sacramento Area– avoid! no unlimited soup salad OR breadsticks

Amazing food! Fresh and as real as it gets. Great food, art, and music… what else do you need? Top 5 best pizza I have every had… and I have been to New York and Chicago. Marco and Jennifer are great people, who take the time to check on you and your food. Staff are kind and helpful. Food is amazing!

It’s a small place with limited seating. I recommend a reservation. Very friendly staff. We were given some strawberry bruschetta while we waited for our pizza. Pizza, beer and atmosphere. Yummy!

I ordered a calzone it was horrible it wasn’t even golden it was white from flour and couldn’t even cut it with a butter knife. Won’t be back, the food was bad service was alright.

Very friendly staff with a quaint and cozy feel to it. There are random ornaments and a piano which can be played by patrons, but is used on the weekends when they have live music played by a musician. I went and had a salad with fresh strawberries, walnuts, and cheese. It was fresh and delicious. They do have pizzas, calzones, and sandwiches, but I did not eat these so I cant comment on them. Overall this is a good place to grab a bite to eat with a smaller group size as space is limited.

We have been meaning to eat at this restaurant for several months now, and tonight we finally did. This place is conveniently tucked away near the opera house, and around the corner from Blue Note Brewery. So it is a perfect stop for dinner! I was wowed by their customer service, they generously gave us a strawberry bruschetta on the house (thank you)!

This place is lovely! The owners are fun, and the food is delicious. We will definitely be coming back.

Food is good, service is okay. Prices are a little steep but the quality and freshness of the food kind of justify it.

Outstanding food and service! My wife and I went for dinner tonight. We sat outside and ordered the lasagne and a Sicilian Stromboli. Both dishes were outstanding in taste and huge portions. We took half of each home, so the prices are really good and very reasonable. The owner (Marco) came out a few times to meet and greet everybody. He is a character!
I can highly recommend this place as it feels like the real deal in any little side street in Italy with great and authentic Italian food and extremely hospitable owners. Can’t wait to eat left-​overs tomorrow, and go back again!

Flew in to Sacramento and driving north to Redding, we found this cozy bistro. Nice atmosphere. Very pleasant staff. Guinevere was very nice. The food was very good. We had the soup of the day, Guin’s salad and cappuccinos. We’ll be back on our way to the airport.

Came in from Sacramento to see a show at the Woodland Opera house. Wanted to have a cup of good coffee pre-​show. Found you by random internet search. Our good luck as it turns out. Great coffee, sweet ambience, quaint, very community minded establishment. Score one for Woodland! We will be back.

Fun, cozy place for dinner before the theatre. Three for dinner, with a reservation. Since Guinevere’s is only a few steps from the Woodland Opera House, it’s a popular spot on show evenings. A variety of entrée options, we opted for salads all around and lasagna. Tasty and, of course, way too much food — oh, darn it, plenty of leftovers! Mellow vibe, love to frequent small businesses that work hard to please their customer base. This one’s a keeper!

Another wonderful real food meal at Guinevere’s. We had the full dinner which includes homemade soup, homemade Italian bread, fresh strawberry bruschetta, entrée and dessert. We had lasagna (a huge slice) and chicken parmigiana (also huge.) Both were excellent! They had sold out of their desserts so they whipped up sweet crepes for us. A big crêpe filled with yogurt and chunks of fruit topped with whip cream and toasted pecans. So good, and light enough to enjoy after stuffing ourselves. A lovely, relaxing, slow delicious meal.
Coffee is excellent as well.
After our meal we enjoyed listening to a passerby playing some tunes on the piano that they have on the patio. Fun small town night.

Quaint little perfect date place. We were the only people there but it was still nice to be welcomed so warmly. I wish the décor was more traditional Italian but that’s certainly not a deal breaker. Stromboli was pretty good. A little bland and slightly doughy but we enjoyed it. We sat inside but the seating outside looks really nice. Some portable overhead heaters would be perfect. Can’t wait to go back!

I give it two stars instead of one because they try… But the two dinners we’ve had were so disappointing.
First time my husband and I each ordered a meal: him lasagne and me Sweedish meatballs. Lasagne was just ok. Sweedish meatballs were almost inedible.
We tried again — this time pizza. Bacon instead of prosciutto. No mushrooms. Dense crust. Bland tomato sauce. We want to like this place and support a new local café but I think we’re done

This tiny little place has so much to offer. I love that they offer outside shaded seating. The owners were very sweet. They made me and my party feel welcomed. They were very involved with us and our meals. The food… So fresh and delicious. I was their first customer to try pesto pizza. It was delicious. Honestly the best piece of alternative pizza I’ve ever eaten. I also has a side of pasta salad. That was just as delicious. I will definitely be a weekly customer. I highly recommend this cute café.

I walked in hear totally at random was instantly impressed. Nothing matches in the best of ways you can just tell it’s a place that has been lovingly put to gether by people who have a passion for what this place could be. The owners were in the kitchen and behind the counter makeing it happen. Great customer service your treated like a long time freind that just came over for a viset and even thow I hade a little bit of a hard time reading there home printed menus they defanitly helped me figure it out There food is absolutely amazing it’s just amazing I’m not even sure how to put it in to words just go there and try it and trust the man behind the counter he won’t steer you wrong if your un sure. Oh and they do coffee in a big way check it out
Just came back hear and had there dinner it was out standing. Italian food at its finast please please go and eat hear

This place was great!!!
My sister and I shared a Stromboli and it was gooood!!! Owners had just pulled out fresh Stromboli’s and showed us, so, we had to try one. We also had the breakfast croissant sandwich and that was good.
Next time I’m in town, I will be going back for more.

They have so many options for lunch it was hard to decide what to order! The staff was very willing to customize an order to meet dietary restrictions which was really nice. My dining companion is a vegan and they happily accommodated her special food requests. I saw them make some fresh made to order hummus for the table next to us and I’m going to have to try that next time! Looked amazing! I had a turkey and avocado sandwich on wheat bread and it was really good! The turkey looked like fresh carved turkey rather than the compressed mystery meat you usually get at a deli. Those are the touches that make this place unique. With an eclectic vibe and rotating art installation, I will definitely be coming back to try more tasty goodness!

Let me start by saying super cute place, love the outdoor seating and the owners are friendly. But for me that is where it ends.
I ordered the Bahn Mi Special (which comes with a side). It was $ 9.50+tx. My side choice was limited as they ran of out most of their stuff so I got a side salad. I waited approx 25 minutes for my meal. I totally understand there are people in front of me but it seemed quite long for a sandwich and salad. They brought out the sandwich but they forgot the side.
Once I had my items I headed back to work. I opened up the containers and kinda got confused. Why were there tortilla chips with my asian sandwich? Why were there grapes under my tortilla chips? The grapes ended up being refreshing but I dumped my tortilla chips.
As for the sandwich, the pork was dry until I got closer to the center with all of the delicious, fresh, crispy produce! The produce saved the sandwich but I wish there was more! I took the side salad home for dinner. It was fresh and the dressing was good but it wasn’t anything special.
Overall. Cute place, nice décor but overpriced for what you get and the food needs a little improvement.
