 Family-style Italian Cuisine Near Downtown |
1249 Howe Ave Sacramento, CA 95825 United States +1 916 922 6673 http://www.bucadibeppo.com |
The atmosphere is warm and friendly, even fun. For an entree, the Ravioli al Pomodoro filled with mild cheese and tomato sauce is sure to please. Choose from several huge Neapolitan-style pizzas, each two feet long and one foot wide. The crusts are thin, crisp and wonderfully smoky tasting. It also offers a selection of huge salads, and an amazing selection of desserts like lemon cream puffs, special Buca bread pudding and a very unusual chocolate cannoli. Portions are large and can be shared. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Good food fast |
2726 Capitol Ave Sacramento, CA 95816 United States +1 916 443 1180 http://www.cafebernardo.com |
Fast, friendly service and a varied and tasty menu make this place an increasingly popular spot. For a quick meal, the Salmon BLT (bacon, lettuce and tomato) sandwich with a crisp, cold salad on the side is hard to beat. Of course, the Rosemary Pasta with Seared Chicken and Toasted Pine Nuts might sway you. Be sure to get the lemon-olive dressing for your salad. For a hearty start to the day, try good old reliable eggs and bacon, or branch out a little with a breakfast burrito. There are two other locations: one in Roseville at 1563 Eureka Rd (+1 916 773 3778) and the second in Davis at 234 D St (+1 530 750 5101). Review © 2007, Wcities |

Beloved Neighborhood Sandwich Shop |
1310 S Street (between 13th & 14th Streets) Sacramento, CA 95814 United States +1 916 448 3237 http://www.eatatdads.com |
Just a hop, skip and a jump away from the hustle and bustle of Sacramento's busy downtown corridor is Dad's, a friendly neighborhood lunch joint famous for its slightly offbeat take on classic sandwich combinations. The menu features 27 sandwiches, both cold and grilled (many with ingredients such as Hungarian paprika, walnuts, pepper plant sauce and wax peppers - and all with names like "Bad Breath Special," "Hot Blonde," "Fat Elvis" and "Bikini Kill"), so decision making can be tough (especially since you can substitute tri-tip on any selection for just 75 cents). Shady sidewalk seating under S Street's canopy of trees makes for an eminently pleasant lunch. See website for full sandwich list, soup and salad options, breakfast menu and event calendar.

 Blend of Chinese & Polynesian |
460 Howe Ave Sacramento, CA 95825 United States +1 916 646 1698 |
The big Buddha statue and gurgling fish fountain appeal to kids, but its blend of traditional Chinese and Polynesian dishes is the calling card. A favorite is the Seafood Bird Nest, a combination of prawns, calamari, scallops and mixed vegetables assembled in the shape of a bird's nest. The Cashew Chicken is another star on the menu. An interesting twist on its tradition is the "Empress Fitness" menu featuring entrees prepared without cornstarch. The restaurant also has a full bar with lots of variations of pina coladas and daiquiris. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Outdoor dining |
6063 Sunrise Mall Sacramento, CA 95610 United States +1 916 961 3628 http://www.elephantbar.com/ |
The decor here is a jungle theme with plenty of booths and patio tables for outdoor dining. The menu is the same for both lunch and dinner. You can choose from a variety of salads, appetizers, burgers, burritos, specialty entrees and desserts. The burritos are large and tasty and the Caribbean Pot Roast is flavorful and filling. The house specialty is Mud Pie, a dessert that is large enough for two people to share. Because reservations are not accepted, the wait for a table may be very long. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Handmade and fresh |
1948 Sutterville Rd Sacramento, CA 95822 United States +1 916 452 6979 |
Attention hamburger lovers: this place features big, handmade, juicy burgers with plenty of fresh produce and a mound of skins-on french fries on the side. What else could you want? Well, it also makes fine sandwiches like grilled chicken, ham and cheese and turkey. Burgers come in kid-sized to the massive One-Pounders for the famished. Burgers and sandwiches are tall, fresh and tasty. Unless you have a huge hunger, resist the temptation to order extra fries, as a regular order is enough for two people. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Italian and worth the wait |
2010 Douglas Blvd Sacramento, CA 95661 United States +1 916 773 6399 http://www.macaronigrill.com/ |
Reservations are not accepted here, however; when you sign up for a table you will be given a pager so you can wander around the nearby mall. Once you are finally seated in the huge stone-walled dining room your patience will be rewarded by great Italian food and service. The warm focaccia with oils for dipping hits your table right away. Authentic Italian entrees in generous portions are served in a warm and friendly atmosphere that can be made even friendlier with a bottle of red wine. Check website for additional locations in Sacramento. Review © 2007, Wcities |
