For those (like me!) who were saddened to see Andiamo restaurant on Folsom Boulevard shut its doors for good, there's finally a reason to celebrate. Good Eats Grocer, Inc., a local start up enterprise based in Sacramento, has officially opened Good Eats Kitchen Bar & Grille today, August 23.

Michael Ashker, Co-Founder and CEO of Good Eats, has described the new shop/restaurant as "a distinctive wine bar and shop where customers can find their favorite selections, make new wine discoveries and enjoy wine tasting events."

Good Eats Kitchen also features fresh local ingredients, unique foods from around the world, a variety of ready-to-go meals, a selection of the freshest produce, a wide array of cheeses, butchered meats, and seafood, a wine shop, fresh baked goods, fresh cut flowers, and a selection of quality ingredients for cooking at home. Good Eats Kitchen's dine in/take out seasonal menu features an ever-changing variety of freshly prepared hot and cold items.

Better yet, the company supports local growers and sustainable practices, as well as strives to provide the highest quality, freshest and best tasting products available. They focus on a broad assortment of product choices, but a select number of items within each category, which they say will "simplify [the] customers' shopping experience by offering the best quality and value options available at every turn."

Hours are 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays, 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturdays, and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sundays, Good Eats Kitchen is located at 3145 Folsom Blvd. in Sacramento. For more information, call 916-737-5272 or click here.
