Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Rancho Cordova

It was loud in there but it was a happy sound of laughter and family time. Not big portions but great food. The service could improve by not forgetting our butter and knives. Also, explaining the menu items with more detail. I’ve been here a few times and other servers explain everything that’s in a meal and dessert. Very helpful for new guests, which I brought.

Love Monday night specials with wine (good choices). People who had salmon were delighted as was short rib partaker. I did not get what I ordered (something new on menu) but what I got was good (pork chop). They offered to redo but not feasible to be able to eat with other diners.

Being recent SF Bay Area transplants (Roseville 2023) - we have had a challenge in finding a good / excellent Italian restaurant. We tried this place just recently (12/21/24). It's an Italian(!) restaurant vs a restaurant that makes Italian inspired dishes. An offshoot restaurant of the original Biba (Sact'o) - it has reinvented itself a bit with a new head chef from SF (James Brush) and pastry chef Penny Sheridan). Everything we had was prepared perfectly. Beet salad, lightly dressed. Gnocchi - light as pillows. Veal marsala - spot on. We passed on dessert, but did see some of them come out and they looked divine. Maybe next time ;-D. Service was attentive, relaxed and not overwhelming. We will certainly go back. Strongly recommend this place.

Our server was excellent, and so was the food and ambience. I can’t wait to come back in the summer time.

Dinner for 4 was great. The food and beer were delicious and delivered quickly. The waiter was friendly and attentive. It was a busy Friday evening so the noise was pretty aggressive at times but generally acceptable. It was our first time there and we’ll definitely return.
