Located in the historic Old Tavern Building, just minutes from the State Capitol, Biba Caggiano, celebrated chef, cookbook author, and TV personality, brings a bit of Italy to Sacramento. Savor the flavors of Biba's award winning authentic Italian cuisine in a friendly but refined ambiance, with attentive service that will make you feel instantly welcome. Enjoy spuntini with a cocktail or glass of wine in the lounge area, kick back and listen to piano music, or order a full meal at the bar or in the dining room. Only the finest and freshest ingredients are used and the food is truly Italian...house made lasagne Bolognese on Thursday and Friday and a different stuffed pasta dish every day. Osso bucco alla Milanese (veal shanks) or stinco di agnello (lamb shanks) are just some of the entrees you may expect to find. California and Italian wines are available to complement the food. And don't skip the dessert. The Tiramisu is to die for!

Four of us went to Biba for my wife's birthday. We found the food very good, but not outstanding. I had the ossobuco which was very tasty and a romaine salad which was nothing special. The portions were quite large. The service was average- what I would expect in any restaurant. Some observations: 1. Whatever the web site may say, this is a smart casual place, not a jacket and tie place. Most men were in polo shirts and kakhis. I was one of the few with a sport coat. 2. The noise level is very high. Although there was only one large group, there were several groups of four with the inevitable women who can't laugh without the whole restaurant hearing them and who have to clap their hands when they laugh, and the men who feel they need to project their "Tom Brokaw" style deep voices.

This is far and away the best restaurant in Sacramento. It is also one of the best in California, in a class with Lark Creek Inn Tra Vigne and the best of the Napa Valley. Service is attentive and unobtrusive. We eat here regularly and often visit the better restaurants in New York, Paris and Montreal. Biba is right up there.
