Italian restaurant · Alhambra Triangle

"Thirty-three years ago, when Bologna-born Biba Caggiano’s eponymous restaurant Biba opened, it was certainly the only restaurant in Sacramento at which one could experience a reasonable facsimile of a meal in Italy. This is arguably still true today. Biba sadly passed away recently at the age of 82, and the city is still in mourning. She had been too infirm to cook there for years, and the legacy of the restaurant will be carried on by chefs that she trained. On a recent night, the grand piano was still tinkling under the Thiebaud-esque portrait of Biba, the famous lasagna was still silky and comforting, and the sophisticated menu (rabbit, nettle tagliatelle) is still wonderfully Italian. Viva Biba!" - Becky Grunewald
