Best Casual Restaurants 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.

There were 3 of us. We were seated in a booth and started our meal with the fish ceviche. Absolutely the best I’ve ever had and so very fresh. One of us had the salmon mango plate. One of us had the enchiladas Guanajuato and I had the enchiladas mole. Delicious! Each of us enjoyed every bite and then we shared a tres leches cake slice. What a nice way to end our meal. A very nice dining experience and I can’t wait to go back and try the strawberry salad that looked so good on the menu. Thank you Zócalo. Yummy.

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.

food was very good as was the service. Would have preferred time to finish the salad before the entrées appeared, but we will be back again and again.

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