Cacio is a charming neighborhood-style Italian bistro not at all unlike what one would find off the beaten path down some path and along the beach. This hidden gem is unpretentious yet the service, fare, and ambience are definitely Michelin-star level.
We dined there this evening and enjoyed the charcuterie plate accompanied by a perfectly paired champagne. The three of us all had the beef Stroganoff (pictured) for our entree.
Dare I say it was transcendant! The generous portion of New York steak, perfect fettucine, and an absolutely Heavenly sauce was world class.
Service from Katie and Jared was perfectly timed and skillfully executed with precision and grace.
Bottom line: skip Il Fornaio and French Laundry. Go to Cacio!

My wife and I visited for the first time and were totally impressed with the food and the friendly service. We had the Marinated Goat Cheese & Tapanade. Delicious! We split the Brussels Sprouts Caesar Salad. Best salad I have had in a long time. And we split the steak special which was delicious. We are new to Sacramento and we will be back!

First off, make a reservation. The entire restaurant could fit easily in most single family homes so please respect their need to fill every seat multiple times every night.
More importantly, it’s perfect! Portions are the right size, food is lovingly prepared, the atmosphere feels like you’re in a home versus a normal restaurant. We were out in just over an hour but didn’t feel rushed at all.
It wasn’t even expensive! I built the same meal at Olive Garden for pickup (no coffee, scallops replaced by a seafood pasta, penne/sausage replaced with rigatoni/sausage, added an order of breadsticks since it’s sooo important) and it was $85.73 after tax. Add the coffee and you’re right back to $95. I’d like to think we’re worth the $12.
We normally each get our own entree with a third to share as an appetizer and the sizes were perfect for that. We definitely ate much more than a normal night at home but we didn’t feel the overfull feeling you get with fake/processed food.
Bottom line: Make a reservation, enjoy your meal, get an extra entree to share, skip the heartless chains that dump alfredo sauce on spaghetti with bacon and call it “carbonara.”
You deserve it.

The staff were all very friendly and the food came out delicious and quick. While everything was exceptional the star of the show for me was the chocolate ganache. I never thought to pair that with olive oil and toasted bread. Fantastic flavors.

Visiting Davis for parents weekend, the kid wanted a nice Italian dinner, and so we came here. We were lucky to get a reservation, to seat at the counter, and we were not disappointed.
We went for the pasta dishes that our waiter recommended and they were so good. The pasta was perfectly prepared. The sauces were very flavorful. I would definitely recommend it here for a nice evening out.

This is way long overdue but it’s no surprise about the review I’m about to make because everyone can agree that this amazing restaurant is the best Italian restaurant we have ever had with the most wonderful owners and servers we have ever met! My husband and I have never had a negative experience with the delicious food, the great service, beautiful atmosphere and of course the outstanding wine choices provided. Thank you Katie and Jonathan for giving us one of the best dining experiences!

We have been here many times now and it bever disappoints, the food is always amazing. This time was for my birthday and everything was amazing as usual. It is a small restaurant so it is best to get reservations. We love the owners and always receive great service. Thank you for the great food and atmosphere for my birthday.

This intimate venue is everything that you’ve ever wanted in an experience and more. Having a reservation is important, and after your first visit you’ll know why. That’s not to say that you don’t drop by and see if there was a cancellation or room at the bar. Trust me when I say, you can’t go wrong with whatever you decide on. Portions are perfect, wine selections are out of this world and don’t get me started on the bread and butter. The saying “if you known, you know” applies to this place. Can’t wait to go back again.

This place has been on my list forever and I’m so glad I finally got to experience it. My wife and I went for our anniversary and it was perfect. Small and intimate with amazing service and incredible flavors. What i didn’t know is that they change up their menu often so I’m excited to go back and try something new.
