 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 |

 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 |

Old Saigon Cuisine with a French Accent |
601 Munroe St Sacramento, CA 95825 United States +1 916 486 4891 http://www.lemongrassrestauran... |
This dining spot is decorated with bright colors. Start with the salad rolls, which are tiny tubular rice-paper rolls stuffed with the prawns' tiny cousins, baby shrimp, along with mint and fresh bean sprouts. A table of four will be made happy by an order of lemon grass soup, a truly gigantic bowl with lemon grass being the distinctive tone in an orchestra of flavors including chicken and mushroom.
