    Ricky made our experience at Calabra truly unforgettable! From the moment we sat down, his friendly and genuine demeanor gave us a warm, local vibe that made us feel right at home. He went above and beyond by recommending incredible cocktails tailored to our preferences and even crafting them to perfection himself. Ricky's smile never left his face, and his generous attention to detail elevated our dining experience. Combine his stellar service with Calabra's amazing Mediterranean food, and it was an evening to remember. Thank you, Ricky - you're a gem!

    We ate at the Santa Monica location. Very good, healthy food and affordable. I wish we had a TFK in Sacramento, or, better yet, Davis, where we live.

    We love this place. But today our rice was pretty bland and my enchilada didn’t have much sauciness in the inside… All the sauce was outside. Overall was good, we actually thought the customer service was TOO much (sounds weird to say), but with the busser, manager, and 2 hostesses all asking us is everything ok all through the night we felt like our conversation was constantly being interrupted. Thank you for being so attentive though.
