Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Rancho Cordova

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 staff got together for a holiday dinner at Seasons 52. Every meal was delicious and thoroughly enjoyed. A few of the staff had not been to the restaurant before, and it was a great experience for them. 

Monday's wine and dine of two salads and two entrees and a bottle of wine for $65 remains a great value and deal! Especially since Bennett's finally listened and stopped chilling the red wines! That made no sense at all! So, now my wife enjoyed her sea bass and i enjoyed the meat loaf with a perfect glass of cab and then took the rest of the bottle home!

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.
