Ippolito's Trattoria - Sacramento, California

We visited again for an early dinner. The food is good. Fresh made pasta. Homemade rolls. I had the lobster ravioli, which was good. I could taste the lobster, but it could have used a light sauce. Everyone was happy with their meals. Portions are huge, so we all took home.

Yesterday we celebrated a birthday in this restaurant. Everything was great. We immersed ourselves in the Italian atmosphere. The food was delicious, the music was Italian. The wine and coffee were Italian. The tiramisu was magical. The staff tried very hard. Thank you all for a wonderful evening!Grazie mille di tutto!

I recently visited Ippolito's Trattoria at 9500 Micron Ave Ste 128, Sacramento, CA 95827, and I have to say, this place is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I felt like family. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and just perfect for a cozy, authentic Italian experience.

A huge shoutout to Sabrina, the amazing manager who ensures every guest is treated like a VIP. The service was outstanding, and the ambiance really makes you feel right at home.

Now, let’s talk about the food! I had the veggie pizza, and it was beyond delicious—fresh ingredients, perfect crust, and loaded with flavor. While I was waiting, they brought out some warm bread rolls that were so good I could have easily had them for lunch and been satisfied! I’m still thinking about how tasty they were.

If you’re looking for a spot with great vibes, excellent food, and a team that truly cares about its customers, Ippolito's Trattoria is a must-visit. Don’t wait—go check it out as soon as possible! You won’t regret it!

Delicious! I've only tried their carbonara so far and I really liked it! I don't know if its "authentic" carbonara, because the menu says they mixed the pasta with "cream". But the guanciale is fatty as is should be and the cheese in the sauce does taste like pecorino.

However the bread served as appetizer was a bit underwhelming. It felt a bit too dense and didn't seem as freshly baked as in other places (where it's soft and even steaming!)

Anyways, I will definitely come back at some point!

The service was excellent. The stuffed mushroom and the pizza were delicious. I would definitely revisit.

We came here on Saturday (5/11/24) evening for an early Mother’s Day eve dinner outing. It’s our first time here however I am familiar with this location. It was previously String’s, another casual Italian restaurant.

We had reservations for 6 PM and had no issues getting it. In fact, we probably did not even need reservations, for when we arrived, there were plenty of open tables around.

The restaurant itself is located in Bradshaw Square which is just off highway 50 but not very visible so may not generate a lot of traffic.

Our server was pretty good. He was friendly and tentative to us, but not over bearing. After placing our orders, our food arrive within 15 minutes hot from the kitchen. Our orders for the evening included the Chicken Alfredo, Tuscan Chicken and Shrimp, Spaghetti Salsiccia, and Chicken Parmesan.

The dishes came out fine, however, the taste was underwhelming. It lacked flavor that I would expect in a well crafted Italian dish. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t spectacular either. Portion sizes are fair. In fact, all of us had leftovers to take home. But that could be from the complementary bread that they serve that we filled up on.

We also ordered a couple of glasses of wine that came out pretty good. Don’t remember the name of it but at a cost of $12-$14 each glass is on target for what I would expect.

Our total for the evening came out to be about $250 with tax and tip for five which is about $50 per person. This did not include dessert.

Here’s my overall impression:

Service 5/5. Food 3.5/5. Atmosphere 4/5. Value to price ratio 4/5. Overall experience a 4/5.

Ippolito’s Trattoria is marketed as a casual Italian restaurant. I would say it definitely fits this category. It’s not super fancy, but it’s not your fast food either.

There’s plenty of parking around; the restaurant itself is located in the area that isn’t super busy. The food is good, but not exceptional but you do get a sizable portion that will curb your hunger. The price point is acceptable given what you get. Service is great. Staff is friendly and hospitable.
