Lucca

1615 J Street
Sacramento, CA 95814
(916) 669-5300

Lucca offers a California-Mediterranean influenced menu emphasizing seasonal ingredients in a
beautifully repurposed historic building. Most of the basic provisions are housemade…they cure
their own pancetta and grind their sausage from Bledsoe pork raised in Yolo County, and they
smoke pastrami from Lucky Dog Ranch beef (the ranch is owned by Lucca owners Ron and
Terri Gilliland). For products they don’t make themselves, like bread and gelato, they support
local artisan producers.

Here at Roxy, our focus is on using as many locally raised and naturally healthy food products as possible. We are also proud to offer our own Lucky Dog Ranch all natural, pasture-raised beef, from our ranch in Dixon, California. The chefs source many of the ingredients directly from local farmers or through their connections at the farmers’ market, and extensive daily specials highlight the creativity of the chefs and the freshest provisions available.

Since 2007, Tulí Bistro is a neighborhood restaurant which provides guests an ever-changing variety of seasonal dishes under the leadership of Chef/Owner Adam Pechal. In a modern yet casual atmosphere, Tulí’s skilled chefs engage and educate diners from behind the exhibition line as they cook, always happy to discuss the ingredients, techniques, and sources of food involved in creating every meal. Not only are Tulí’s ingredients high-quality and ecologically sound, but Tulí takes pride in making nearly every component of a dish in-house: from handcrafted pasta, to rich stocks, savory sauces, and fresh salad dressings. Tulí’s menu highlights Sacramento Valley produce; indeed, to Chef Pechal it is unthinkable to not eat seasonally and from local farms in an area as agriculturally rich and diverse as the Central Valley. Tulí’s beef, pork, and chicken suppliers have been carefully chosen by Chef Pechal as well, and are what he considers the very finest available: humanely raised, certified organic, less-processed, and non-GMO. Beyond the restaurant, Tulí often takes its cuisine on the road as well, either providing services as Tulí Catering with its mobile smoker and wood-fired oven, or donating its food and time to the community.

Both Taylor’s Market and Taylor’s Kitchen are committed to the fundamentals of the Slow Food Movement.

Mulvaney’s Building & Loan is an American restaurant, banquet hall, and offsite catering company. We focus on farm-to-form eating, taking full advantage of the seasonal bounty of the Great Valley. We are very hands on, smoking our own salmon, rolling pasta, churning ice cream. But pork is our first love and we use everything but the oink – bacon, sausages, sometimes we just roast the whole thing. In fact, one of our logos, the “Pigasus,” can be seen lit up on the corner every night.
