    Chicken Fettuccine ( you can get either breaded or grilled chicken)
    Sonia H.

    I've been waiting for this restaurant to open and i finally had a chance to try it. The restaurant has a large parking lot that is part of a shopping center so plenty of parking is available. The restaurant was very clean and the hostess greeted us as soon as we entered. We went on a Friday around 5:30pm and we were seated immediately without any delay. We had a wonderful experience at Crazee for Pasta! We ordered the chicken fettuccine, lasagna, and chicken parmigiana, and every dish was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The chicken was tender, the pasta was cooked perfectly, and the sauces tasted homemade. The service was just as impressive. Our waiter "Jason" was very friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal without being intrusive. If you're looking for delicious Italian food and excellent customer service, Crazee for Pasta is definitely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back!

    A nice new local Italian place in Rancho Cordova, the inside was very bright and clean, and the hostess extremely nice. We ordered to go and our ready was easy to place and assembled quickly. Both the spaghetti and chicken parm were good, wouldn't expect anything less from an Italian place. The next time we are craving easy and quick Italian food we will order from here again! However, we weren't the biggest fan of the bread for once, it was weirdly dense, maybe it was a one of but personally we weren't not big fans of it.

    We recently visited Crazee For Pasta, and overall we had a really enjoyable experience. The food was good, but I think it has the potential to be even better. With an Italian grandma visiting all the way from Florence, Italy, I would love to see even more authentic Italian flavors and traditional family recipes reflected in the dishes. That extra touch of authenticity would really make this place stand out. The highlight of our visit was the hospitality. Stephan, the manager, was absolutely wonderful. He made sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal and truly made us feel welcome. Meeting him and Grandpa from Italy made the experience feel like we were having dinner at a family member's home instead of a restaurant. The warm conversations and genuine hospitality created such a comforting, home-like atmosphere. With a few more authentic touches to the food, this could easily become one of the best Italian spots in the area. We'll definitely be back!

    Came here on a whim for early dinner on a Sunday and received excellent service! They just opened up less than a month ago so I'm glad we found them on Yelp. There was a photo on Yelp of a pizza with burrata and honestly that's what convinced us to come in! We don't typically go out for Italian food. But we were excited when we saw risotto on the menu! We tried the risotto di mare which had great texture and was cooked nicely, although could've used more seasoning/salt. We also ordered a pizza for ourselves with onion, ham, peppers, and burrata, which was absolutely delicious! I liked that we could pick our own toppings but $2.99 per topping seemed a little extreme so we opted to exclude some other toppings that we would've otherwise wanted. The cook on the pizza was great for our preference but I could understand if some people would want it to be more golden. It was nice that they had a specific kids menu and kids cups also. The kids menu pizza was huge and was enough for both of our kids, and leftovers for both too! They do bring out complimentary bread but it wasn't super fresh, or maybe the texture was just more dense. The dessert presentation is very enticing, they bring out a tray of all of the current dessert specials so it takes willpower to decline! But the thing that really bugged me was they just kept bowls of Parmesan sitting out around the restaurant and they grab from there when you need cheese sprinkled. It seemed strange to just have sitting out, but also sitting out uncovered. Probably a few things to work out as they're open longer but I wish them success!

    PENNE MARE E MONTI

    With a name like this, I didn't have high hopes (lol) But was very pleasantly surprised!! Recently got crazy food poisoning from another Italian restaurant and it made me think of how much I liked Crazee for Pasta's food and how I wanna go back. Located in the same plaza as Gangnam Ave in Rancho Cordova! What we ate: * Complimentary bread service - THIS BREAD WAS THIIIICK. YKnow it's homemade bc I've never had complimentary bread that was as dense as pound cake before. Loved dipping it in my tomato bisque! * Tomato Bisque $7.95 - Loved the tang on this! Really balanced out by the cream and roasted tomato. Bright flavors and super velvety without being too overly rich * Polpette $9.95 - DENSE. Each bite was so filling and meaty! The marinara did a great job of brightening each bite so it's not too heavy. Melted mozz makes it a treat * Penne Mare E Monti $23.95 - Possibly my favorite pesto pasta!! Loved how earthy it tastes from the garlic, nuts, and basil while the cream makes it luxurious. And there's chicken! Lasted me two meals * Tortellini Panna E Prosciutto $20.95 - The sauce on this was addicting! Possibly a white wine sauce? Probably made with a hint of lemon? But it's soo indulgent from the cheese tortellini and the cream, but there's something about the sauce that doesn't make me (a very lactose intolerant gal) feel too heavy! Pasta has a perfect toothy bite * Custom Pizza $9.95 + $2.25/topping $18.80 - No pepperoni here, but their salame will still get nice and crispy! Love a thin pizza crust that doesn't flop down, AS IT SHOULD BE! The interior is more casual than I expected, but it's a no frills place that focuses on food, which I can get behind! Weirdest thing was that they packed my soup to go in a box lolol

    Fettuccine
    Erin D.

    Came in 45 minutes to close and finding a place that is open until 10 pm is hard! Sat at the bar and how cool, restaurant has been open for 3 weeks - Greeted by the manager - super friendly - Our order this evening is fettuccine Alfredo w/shrimp and a Spring Mix salad with Gorgonzola and grilled chicken - The cook came out and asked how everything was - that is a huge plus in my book

    There was a lot of salmon at the bottom of that plate, and it was good...

    I had been waiting for this place to open for quite a while. I still remember when it was an excellent Chinese buffet, but the building had sat empty for a long time. I'm glad a business is back in it. I came in just a few days after they opened. I was seated, and I was served by Lisa. Very friendly, very helpful, very knowledgeable. I asked her a couple of questions about the menu, and she had an answer right away. The meal started with a basket of bread, and Lisa put together a plate of olive oil and balsamic, with grated Parmesan on top. The bread was warm and fluffy, and the olive oil/balsamic was perfect for dipping. I started out with the salmon carpaccio. There was a very decent amount of salmon, and it was under a bed of spring mix. The salmon was tender and very, very flavorful, and the spring mix Provided a nice pop of freshness to go with it. There was also lemon to sprinkle on everything. I liked the Dish a lot. For my main course, I had the tortellini panna e prosciutto. Tortellini in a cream sauce, with a nice Portion of prosciutto. The dish was very good. The tortellini were tender, and the cream sauce was fantastic. It did eat just a little bit salty for my taste. I don't know if the saltiness was in the sauce, or if it was from the prosciutto, but I did notice it just a little bit. It was still an excellent dish. While I was having lunch, Sergio, who I believe was the chef, came by to ask me how my meal was. I said it was very good, I was wearing an Italian shirt, and so he asked me if I was from Italy. I said yes, my mother was. And we chatted about that for a few moments. Just absolutely everybody in the staff was so friendly. I had enough of the carpaccio and the tortellini, to take Home for a decent second meal. For the quantity and quality of the food, the price was fair. There weren't that many people in the restaurant, and I'm hoping that that's just because it just opened. I hope they get some great advertising and word-of-mouth, because this is definitely a place worth coming back to you again and again. Thank you.

    The food was very good! The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauces were yummy. Free bread is always a plus! We were greeted and sat immediately and our server was very prompt and friendly. It's a nice wide open place, with cute decorations. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu

    Calamari appetizer
    Ralph H.

    This restaurant opened about two weeks ago. and We have been looking forward to trying it since we moved to this area about one year ago. The restaurant is spacious and I can see having a work party here. The menu was pretty extensive. We did not try the desserts, although they looked amazing. I tried the chicken parmigiana which came with a lot of spaghetti. The taste was good, but the meat was a little too firm for my liking. We also had the calamari appetizer and minestrone soup. Both were great. My wife and I shared the salad which was more than enough for the two of us. My son really liked the fettuccine Alfredo. The server was friendly and enthusiastic. We will definitely be back to try other options. I think that it is a good neighborhood Italian restaurant.

    Solomon C.

    First off, the services was good. We were welcomed warmly. I loved the decor inside. Now on to the food The cheesecake and pizza were the stars of the day. The cheesey garlic bread was pretty good. The pasta noodle texture was perfect. My only real issue with the pasta was a lack of flavor in the noodles. The consistency of the sauce was heavy. Heavier then normal for that particular dish. But thats my opinion. All in all worth the visit

    I really enjoyed this restaurant the staff is top notch . The owner happened to be at the restaurant she is down to earth talk to her you will be happy you did she comes to us from Florence Italy. And she travels back and forth. She brings some items when she comes . She showed me the box from Italy of cannoli shells. I had to try them for all of you LOL. My waiter was Moss . I ordered spaghetti and very good meatballs with Bolognese sauce. It doesn't come that way, but I asked him if they would make it that way for me

    Great place very good lasagna again Next time I like try the pizza and the dessert new place nice service

    Absolutely delicious homemade minestrone, focaccia bread dipped in balsamic and olive oil and my Negroni, (top right).
    Melissa L.

    TL;DR This place is legit. Try it! We tried Crazee for Pasta today and loved it. What I don't get is the branding. It's a good quality bistro. "Crazee for Pasta" doesn't suggest a bistro to me. I get more of a family/ kids, budget experience vibe from that name. They also do pizza and Italian entrees, so it's not just pasta. A bit confusing but not a deal breaker. Other than the name not matching the experience, we had a delightful meal. Their menu is similar to Caffe Italiano in Fair Oaks with the same owner. We love Caffe Italiano, so we had high hopes for CFP. My husband is half Italian on his mom's side, and he makes amazing Italian food including scratch-made ravioli, so when we go out for Italian, he doesn't suffer fools lightly (looking at you Olive Garden). I had the cheese ravioli pomodoro and minestrone soup. My husband had the gnocchi bolognese and Caesar salad. Focaccia, olive oil, balsamic and a carafe of cold water were provided, as well. I rate my meal 5/5. The minestrone was to die for. It's quite clearly homemade from scratch, no corners were cut. The base is not tomato; it's a lovely, flavorful (not canned) chicken broth. It was absolutely delicious. I could see ordering this to go with a caprese salad and focaccia for a light takeout option. It's made with kidney beans, garbanzos, potato, celery, carrot, zucchini and lots of fresh herbs. The pasta is orecchiettis, shaped like open shells or tiny ears. Topped with fresh grated parm and black pepper... it earned a chef's kiss. My standard for raviolis is that the pasta needs to be tender and pillowy. My husband's ravioli has spoiled me. I rarely order restaurant raviolis because most of the time it falls short. CFP's raviolis were amazing. Light and pillowy. Not tough, soggy, or too thick. Not over- or under-stuffed. The sauce was also very good and simple, it reminded me of Marcella Hazan's (the Italian Julia Child) classic tomato sauce, but CFP's sauce developed the tomato profile with paper- thin slices of garlic, a bit of carrot, basil leaves and other herbs. Best of all, adding freshly grated Parmesan didn't render it too salty. I took a picture of the minestrone and the raviolis. My husband loved the gnocchi. It was not too dense or doughy. The bolognese was meaty, balanced and flavorful. It's pictured in one of the ravioli pics in the upper right. Caesar salad was also delicious. He gave his meal 5/5, also. And we both devoured the focaccia! It was freshly baked and tasted like it. We were too full for dessert. And our server Lisa was very friendly. If you haven't tried Crazee for Pasta yet, go! Our meal including tax, tip and two bar drinks came to just under $120 for dinner -- Typical for a nice date night.

With that context, we don't take Italian food lightly. That's exactly why Ippolito's Trattoria stands out. Nick, the owner, is there seven days a week. Whether he's running the kitchen like a true master or walking the dining room checking in with guests, his presence is constant. His wife is often by his side, and together they've built something that feels less like a restaurant and more like a family. The staff reflects that--welcoming, attentive, and genuinely warm. Now, the food. The chicken parmigiana is massive--easily two meals--and executed perfectly. The chicken is tender, well-seasoned, and balanced. We usually start with calamari or a shared salad, both consistently excellent. I'm especially particular about carbonara, and this is the only place in Sacramento that truly gets it right. No shortcuts. No cream. No smoked bacon. They respect the tradition--using proper ingredients like guanciale or pancetta and incorporating the egg the way it's meant to be. It's easily the best carbonara I've had in years. The arancini are another highlight. If you've ever made them at home, you know the effort involved--this is the real deal. Crispy outside, rich and flavorful inside, and absolutely authentic. The bread is baked fresh daily by Nick, and it shows. The pasta is artisan-quality, also made fresh, and sourced from a trusted local partner. Every detail reflects care and intention. Dessert is not an afterthought here. The tiramisu--made in-house--is flawless. And the cannoli? Outstanding. The shells have the perfect crunch, and the fillings are rich without being overpowering. Even the pizzelle cookies are done right. It's no surprise they've earned recognition, including: Best Italian Restaurant in Sacramento Best Restaurant Overall in Sacramento Beyond the food, Nick is active in the community and gives back, which only adds to the experience. We've enjoyed this place so much that we've chosen them to cater my 60th birthday for 20 very discerning Italian family members--many of whom we've already brought here, all with the same glowing reactions. If there's any criticism to address, it's usually from people saying the food isn't salty or herb-heavy enough. That misses the point. This is balanced, authentic cooking--where ingredients shine without being masked. I've been to Papa Gianni's in Cameron Park dozens of times over the years, and it's a great spot. But when it comes to the Sacramento region, Ippolito's Trattoria is my go-to, without question.

Outdoor seating is available and the restaurant is in a well maintained shopping area near a grocery store. We loved seeing the fresh made bread coming out of the oven which is served with an oil/vinegar dip; however, the bread was doughy in the middle and became inedible. The Fettucini Alfredo for $25 was meh. The pasta was gummy and the sauce needed A LOT of salt, pepper and extra parmesan to amp up the flavor. The Penne with sausage was good with full flavored red sauce. And the pizza and other dishes that went by looked delicious but I based on this trip I am not sure we'll be back.

Food: There is a nice variety of food options as well as a special that our server thoroughly explained to us. We started with an appetizer of Brussels sprouts and a shared beet and apple salad. We settled on the salmon and penne vodka pasta for our entrees. The Brussel sprouts were so good with small strips of bacon and a nice aioli to dip them in. The Salad was complex and excellent and our entrees were absolutely outstanding. Salmon was cooked to perfection and the pasta was delicious with the perfect tenderness (I don't care for overcooked pasta). The sausages in the pasta were great and the sauce was rich.

You basically approach the left side of the counter and tell them your order, then you walk over to the right to pay. If you're dining in then they will give you a number to place on the table. As we sat down to wait for our food, there were more customers that walked in to dine in. I noticed they get a lot of mobile orders. I got the Pasta Bread Bowl and for my pasta choice I got Fettuccine with Aglio E Olio & Alfredo mix with added Pan Seared Chicken and Mozzarella. I gotta say the two sauces combined were really delicious! I recommend doing that if you're a white sauce lover. I felt like there wasn't that much sauce in the bread bowl so next time I would ask for extra sauce. I could go without the chicken next time. Overall 10/10, the breast is really good as well! The restaurant was clean, it isn't a loud atmosphere, a great place to catch up with a friend or to have a meeting. Customer service was good. I will be back.

    Saw the rave reviews and decided to drop in. Ordered 2 sandwiches and the Alfredo pasta bread bowl…read more The Eggplant Parm sandwich was watery and very chewy, I think the eggplant was either undercooked or sitting for a long time. Not good, would not be recommend. Also got the Chicken Parm sandwich, was better but lacked chicken and overall flavor. That said the bread on both sandwiches was awesome, my favorite part of the dinner. Killer bread. Onto the Alfredo pasta bread bowl, my girlfriend was excited to try it but was nothing like the reviews/videos she had seen to get us there. It lacked chicken, there was no cheese in sight and the flavor was very muted. Onto desert, the cannolis were really awesome and the tiramisu was great. Maybe we came on a bad day not sure, but overall the meal was mid, minus the awesome desert (and bread).

    The manager's approach to problem-solving and their apparent annoyance toward consumers inquiring…read moreabout various product flavors was handled poorly and was unprofessional for someone in a management position. If you cannot resolve a problem, or if it is an ongoing issue, you should escalate it to someone with the expertise and authority to address consumer concerns. Do not wait for customers to approach you after the situation has already deteriorated, especially when a flippant response has shifted the tone of the interaction. Another option would have been to table the conversation for a later time or on a different day until more information was available. What began as a discussion about a product concern quickly became focused on a employee instead of the issue itself. The manager appeared to become frustrated, stated to understand the main concern, yet responded with an unnecessarily intense tone and level of defensiveness. There was considerable deflection, repetition, and what felt like half-truths rather than a sincere effort to work toward a mutual solution. The manager should remember that they represent the Root of Happiness brand. We have been patronizing Root of Happiness for at least 10 years, long before the owners expanded to the Roseville, Midtown, and Rocklin locations. Additionally, over the last few weeks, the Justin's Peanut Butter Cups have seemed unusually dry. It may be the result of a bad batch from the vendor or the effects of extreme weather conditions impacting the product's quality.

    We've been here several times and had good experiences. Few times, we had to wait for the hostess…read moreto come and seat us although so many servers noticed us. All the servers were friendly and accommodating to us. - Kids spaghetti with meat sauce: great portion for the price and my kid was stuffed. The spaghetti was al dante and the meat sauce was good. - Lasagna: love it! It was super cheesy and was still piping hot when came out. The lasagna was perfectly cooked and the sauce was delicious. - Chicken marsala: the spaghetti with Marsetti cheese was super delicious but a tad too salty. The chicken was tender but the marsala sauce was lack of marsala wine taste. - Spumoni ice cream: yum! It was the classic Old Spaghetti Factory's vibe to end the meal

    Disappointed is the only way I can describe. Arrived around 5:55 with a reservation (for my…read morebirthday). Was seated right away. The restaurant was only about half full. This is where it went downhill. Waited approximately 15 minutes, then saw the manager-and stared at her, so she came over. We hadn't been approached by anyone or offered water or a "I'll get right to you" before this. She came over and we ordered our drinks and meal right then. She also brought our salads and bread out, and we started eating. Someone else brought our entrees. I assume it was our server who then stopped by and offered straws (first time seeing him)?!! After a while we asked a bus boy for more bread since no one else stopped by. He promptly got some and we tipped him since he dropped everything to get it for us!! Manager came back and asked if everything was ok, did we need Sean or something like that ? It was weird, like she knew the bus boy had to deliver bread. I wasn't sure who Sean was, the waiter or bus boy???! When we were done, I'm assuming our waiter stopped by and then we asked for our ice cream and to go containers. He brought that, our to-go boxes and the check. I had to pull up my birthday reward, and was having trouble-so he said he would be back. I'm shocked at the service that we received. I'm glad I had a birthday reward because if I didn't and had to pay for the whole check with this service I'd be.... mad to say the very least. I had to let my husband do most of the talking because I was so upset, otherwise I would've really let them have it!! I won't be back. Too many other places to go for our MOMEY without being ignored.
