The Scene
Caggiano showcases the flavors of northern Italy on her menu. Hobnob in the lounge with Sacramento's elite while sipping wine by the baby grand piano. Then set your sights on the dining room, where an experienced and well-groomed staff caters to your every whim.
The Food
Lightly fried calamari piques the appetite with a hint of paprika. Crisp bruschetta, piled high with garden-fresh tomatoes, packs a zesty garlic punch. The baked lasagna (served Thursday and Friday only), served with a steamy bechamel sauce, bubbles with cheese. And while the menu changes with the season, you can expect to find a few seafood dishes like the tender Chilean sea bass with chanterelles and shiitake mushrooms. Finish off the meal with tiramisu--its chocolate shavings alone are worth the price.

Biba's is the best place to go for Italian food or for that special occasion. The bread sticks that they have at the bar just melt in your mouth. I ordered the tiramisu and it was prepared perfectly. It was just excellent . And the creamy polenta, delicious. We got great service and the ambiance music from the piano man was just so cool. Biba's put all the other Italian restaurants to shame.

Dont be fooled by the few negative reviews. The food coming out of the kitchen at Biba is absolutely the finest you will get anywhere. From the soups, to the pasta, to the perfectly cooked veal and fish, everything we ordered was perfection. The servings are actually decent size for a "fancy restaurant". If youre not a large eater, you would have more than enough to eat with a pasta dish and a soup or salad. This place is more than worth every penny.

Biba Restaurant is one of the finest restaurants that I have ever had the pleasure to dine in. I was San Francisco with my husband for business and we had to travel into Sacramento for a meeting. I wanted to try the restaurant because the owner, Biba Caggiano, is also the writter of many of my favorite cookbooks. We made a reservation before we left for the trip, probably one month prior. The food was out of this world. It is Italian at it's finest. The menu seems simple, but the food is not. I had a pasta dish with tomatos and lobster. The flavors blended beautifully together. I had a simple salad of french string beans with olive oil and lemon, I've never had a salad so fresh and inviting again. We even had the pleasure of meeting Biba and she signed a cookbook for me. While this restaurant is pricey, it is worth every cent! You'll love it!
