Ippolito's Trattoria

What a wonderful experience. No wonder the restaurant was packed on a Friday evening. Our server, Holly, was personable, attentive and very knowledgeable. She explained how everything from the pasta and sauces to the desserts were homemade and fresh. And boy was she right. For appetizers we enjoyed calamari fritti and burrata. The former was tasty but a bit tough while the latter was incredible! For main courses, we had the shrimp scampi, the tuscan chicken and shrimp, and the casarecce gamberetti. All were flavorful and filling. For dessert we tried the tiramisu, bread pudding and gelato. A great way to end a wonderful meal. The restaurant's interior is vibrant and nicely decorated. Prices are very reasonable. Check it out! We will definitely be back!

We found this hidden gem while we were house hunting. At first, I was a little adamant when we walk in, its not the typical Italian restaurant I tend to go to. But our Server Nicholas was top-notch when it comes to providing overwhelming hospitality. We ordered the Tuscan chicken and shrimp which is phenomenal! Lasagna was okay. Cheese but had some hard pasta at the bottom. Tiramisu and our cappuccino was the highlight of the evening!! I would've given it a 10/10 if it's not for the lasagna so 9/10 for now. We’ll be back!!!!

I believe I am a easy going person with no fuss and rarely provide negative feedback in public. But today perhaps is a new day. We went to Ippolito’s and literally everything went wrong. After arriving and being seated, our water arrived quickly. Our sever was polite and took orders for drinks and food reasonably quickly. For the next 25 minutes, we had no plates, napkins, cutlery or bread. Our kids were quite hungry and eventually they got us some bread which was super hard. Our food eventually came and literally nothing was eatable. My $24 pasta was literally uncooked so was my wife’s spaghetti and my son’s kids pasta. Besides pastas were super sour with red and white sauces. The food lacked salt and flavor except for the zucchini in my pasta. My younger one had kids cheese pizza and wasn’t great either. Our Italian sodas were ok. After paying $82, we literally came home eating nothing. Our server did offer to cook the pasta but we had already lost our patience and we were not ready to wait for another 20 minutes. To be fair when a customer leaves all the food on the table, I would have offered to remove some charges but we were not offered. We only took home pizza and left behind all the food. I really don’t like to waste food but today I had no other option. Besides this, the ambience was clean and quiet and plenty of parking. I have plenty of experience with Italian cuisine and this has been definitely a unique experience for sure.

Fantastic food & service! The filet mignon was cooked to perfection at an unbeatable price. The pizza crust was like a crisp pastry. Would be great even for breakfast. Very attentive servers and an incredibly cozy atmosphere. So glad to support this family owned establishment!

Great food and quiet sitting. Local restaurant not a chain. Good service 👍. All pasta made on site 😋 👌 Go ahead and visit this restaurant that's located in Rancho Cordova and in a quiet neighborhood. Lots of parking, no fees

Came here for dinner with my family as we had never been here before despite having spent so much time living nearby! The restaurant is very clean and beautiful inside. The staff were super friendly, nice, and attentive. The restaurant has lots of parking in the front and is easy to miss because it is in a shopping center off a not so busy road. They have a nice sized menu of different items. I ordered their wild mushroom tortellini, my brother ordered the fettuccine alfredo, and my mom got a salmon dish but I can’t remember the name. I enjoyed my pasta, the filling of the tortellini was nice, the white sauce it came in was a bit bland. The sauce tastes heavily of cream without a lot of salt or pepper or Parmesan. The portions are decent, the plates they serve the food in are huge so that may be why the portions don’t look as big. Our food came out quickly. I also ordered an Italian soda with cream and it was light and refreshing without being too sweet! I would come back.

We had a very nice visit to Ippolito's Trattoria. The menu has a great selection of pasta and pizza. I really enjoyed the Chicken Alfredo. It was delicious without being heavy or oily like some places. Will definitely be back.

Stumbled into our "NEW" favorite Italian restaurant. Don't let the location fool you. Trust me on this one. The stuffed ravioli was amazing. My wife had the best lasagne she has tasted the sauce was very flavorful. Elijah made a great drink. He was very friendly. They asked if we were ready for our main course. Very nice touch we didn't feel rushed at all. The atmosphere was very quaint and we loved the place. We will definitely make this a regular on our list. Highly recommend 👌🏾 if you like really good Italian food. 👍🏾 Elijah was the Best!!

The Bread: They are famous for their complimentary soft, warm bread served with those signature packets of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. ​The Food: Every dish is made to order, and their pasta is known for being fresh and perfectly seasoned without being "heavy" or over-salted. ​The Value: It offers a "semi-casual" feel where you get high-quality Italian food at a very reasonable price point.

The Ippolito Insalata had good flavor , however the breadcrumbs on top were like eating sand. The plate it was served on was too small for the serving so I was picking my salad off the table. Ordered the garlic bread with marinara... no garlic flavor and the marinara was orange and had a spice that made it almost tikka masala-esque. They were out of Lasagna and didn't tell us when we sat so we had to pivot- ordered pizza, the all meat. It was pepperoni and some weird balled up meat that had no resemblance to sausage. It tasted like an under seasoned chicken meatball. Was asked if we wanted parm in our pizza- it was out of container, not fresh grated;Service was fine. Would not return and would not recommend. Very disappointed and left hungry.

I struggle with what exactly to give this restaurant. The ambience is as good as one could get despite its strip mall location off the freeway. The service was attentive, and good. The food, or what I could eat of it, tasted delicious. However my lasagna came burned and essentially with the bottom 2 or 3 layers inedible. The chicken Parm was...a lot of food, however the pasta lacked taste and felt overcooked or too soft in the mouth. The chicken was ok. I'm sure the food is better than what I experienced, and I would be willing to give them a other shot.

Been wanting to try this place for awhile and finally got my chance on a recent Friday evening. I was fairly surprised to see it mostly empty despite all the good reviews. I loved the Italian Tuscan decor inside and our waitress was friendly and attentive. We ordered bruschetta to start and I don't know what they did but that was some of the BEST bruschetta I have ever had! 5/5!! We also ordered minestrone (I thought it was great but my partner thought it was standard), lasagna, and veal parmigiana. My lasagna was EXCELLENT!! Wow. Perfectly cheesy and the sauce was out of this world. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. The veal was excellent as well and served with some noodles. The noodles weren't super special but I thought paired well with the excellent veal. For desert we had to try the Carmel and chocolate connolis. The connolis don't compare to what you can find in Boston but definitely some of the best connolis I have found in California. Highly recommend giving this place a try for excellent Italian food!

There is a reason people including myself continue to support Ippolito's! First and foremost, it is such a welcoming and feel good restaurant. Everything from the music to the beautiful mural of Venice adds to the unique ambiance. Enjoyed the Seabass, cooked perfectly and paired nicely with the Brussel sprouts and mased potatoes. The eggplant parmesan is phenomenal as well. Great service and easy parking. I think it's perfect for a business lunch, larger group or an intimate evening. Molto bene!

We visited Sacramento over Mother's Day weekend and decided to try Ippolito's Trattoria for the first time. There were three of us: my significant other, her mother, and I. Ippolito's is located in a shopping center near Highway 50. The space is large and nicely set up. As you enter, you have two separate seating areas. It seemed like the one on the right, where we sat, was less formal. However, it is equally nice and comfortable. The restaurant is family-owned and operated, which is always a big plus in my mind! We were greeted by the father of the family, a very pleasant young man, who had taken a breather from working in the kitchen and helped us get a table. Our server, a pleasant and polite young man, was very helpful answering our questions and helping us decide. We started with two glasses of wine, a Chianti, a Pinot Grigio, and a Peroni. For an appetizer, we shared a Burrata that came with fresh burrata cheese, basil, and arugula, topped with a tasty balsamic glaze. Everything went just fine for this round, but then differences of opinion came in when we ordered our main dishes! We ordered Lasagna, Gnocchi Gorgonzola, and Casarecce Gamberetti, which was my choice. The dishes are not made in classic Italian style, so if you are a traditionalist when it comes to Italian dishes, you may not be fully satisfied, and that is what happened with my companions. I took my first bite of Casarecce Gamberetti and was very happy with the flavor, but the same could not be said about my companions, so I switched my plate for the Lasagna, but that did not help! The Lasagna is not what you may expect, but it was fine. You could argue that the pasta was just a bit overcooked, but the flavor was just fine. The sauce was an orangish color that I liked, but I was so concerned about what was happening around our table that I did not figure out what it was made of! As for the Gnocchi, that too was not the traditional Gnocchi you may have in mind, but it tasted good to me. To make a long story short, I finished my Lasagna and ended up with two to-go boxes for the Casarecce and the Gnocchi! And, I did enjoy them both later at home as two separate meals. I am not a picky eater, so I may be more forgiving in certain cases, but in this case, I really did not see anything wrong with the dishes, except the fact that they were not classic style. Judging from the crowd that was walking in and out with big smiles on their faces, I probably am not too far off in my opinion of the place and the food. So, if you visit, decide for yourself and let me know what you think.

Have eaten at Ippolitos for a while now and was feeling guilty for keeping it to myself for so long so here goes. I'll finally leave my review. One of the best Italian restaurants I've ever ate at. The Chicken Parmissan is to die for and the Lobster Brise will blow you away with the savory glow left in your month. The food at this place is so addictive it should be illegal!

I tried this place out earlier this evening while meeting some co-workers at Geisthaus Brewing. Their prices aren't bad for what you get and the food was excellent. I got myself a prosciutto wrapped burger and shared some onion rings and calamari with my group. Everything tasted great. I'm not sure if they usually get slammed with orders for the brewery but I found myself waiting almost an hour for my food to get dropped off while everyone else at my table got their orders much sooner. They also never texted me that they were on my way so I had to keep checking every delivery to see if my food was there. I might try them again at the brewery or dine in if I'm in the area again. I really did enjoy their food and the person on the phone seemed very courteous. I was just disappointed that I had to wait nearly an hour for my food which felt kind of crazy.

Such a nice restaurant!! As soon as you walk in there is no question that you are in a warm inviting place. You can smell wonderful food and are greeted by a knowledgeable staff. The menu provides many options and everything is made fresh including the pasta. There is a nice wine list as well. Prices are reasonable and the owner is in the house talking to her guests. We will return and next time take a few pictures.

I have been to this place many many times. I actually found this place because I searched for good pasta reviews on yelp! Ha ha. But this place is so much more than just good pasta. It's one of the only places around that you still get greeted with a smile when you walk in. It's always the same familiar faces and always the same family feeling atmosphere. From the fresh warm rolls, to the crispy Caesar salad, to the unbelievably fresh and flavorful pasta dishes, I am obsessed! This place is awesome and my family & I will always call this our go to pasta spot!

Amazing place with wonderful service and delicious food. I went there for a client meeting and really enjoyed my food. From appetizers, to my main dish ( creamy lemon pasta with shrimp) I was incredibly delighted. The pasta had the perfect bite, the lemon was so refreshing and the shrimp was not overcooked. Definitely going there again.

My friends and I went to Geisthaus Brewing for drinks and trivia on a Thursday evening and they don't have food but they let you order from Ippolito's which is next door and will deliver to the front counter of the brewery. I've been wanting to try their food since I've heard so many great things about them and they make their own pasta, which is hard to find. Their menu is on the smaller side but this is a good thing as it's easier to decide and they have a good assortment of dishes. They have some gluten free options as well. We decided to share family style and picked the Margherita Pizza, the Pasta with Chicken and Shrimp, the Chicken Wings with fries and the fried ravioli. The pizza was solid and had a nice amount of toppings. The ravioli's were solid tasty, still freshly fried so they had a nice texture and are large my only qualm is for the price point ($10.50) I think there should be another ravioli or 2. The house marinara used as a dipping sauce was really flavorful and a nice thick consistency. The wings were nice and crispy still, cooked perfectly. The fries however were kinda limp and on the cool side. Maybe it's because of the transport time to the restaurant or not venting the to go box, I'm not sure but next time I'll add a note to make sure they are timed with the rest of the meal to prevent this. Now the star of the show, the Chicken and Shrimp Pasta in a cream sauce (Tuscan). First the pasta is handmade, a fun shape that holds a lot of sauce well which I love. The cream sauce was really tasty, I usually add salt and pepper to everything and it wasn't needed, this was nicely seasoned. My only request would be adding little to go containers of Parmesan and red chili peppers for those of us that like our pizza and pasta hot and extra cheesy. The portion on the pasta was generous and had a good amount of the proteins which was appreciated. I would give them another half star, but I guess it will have to wait for me to go to the actual restaurant so I can get the full service experience. Check them out!

I really wanted to like this place but service was kind of strange, probably because the servers were really young. It was kind of endearing though. When the 9 of us arrived for our reservations at 6pm on a Saturday night, our server Katie sat us at two tables side by side. We weren't sure why we were set up that way so we asked if we could push the tables together. Katie said it was fine but that people would have a hard time getting out if we had to get up. We said it was fine. Then we asked about the available wines by the bottle and it took her a very long time to come back with the information. We eventually ordered a bottle of Chianti and Chardonnay. To make the bill easier to manage, we had two bills for the table. Each group ordered appetizers to share. As starters, our side of the table ordered the Stuffed Mushrooms, Burrata, and the full Caesar Salad. The full size was a very large portion. For our entrees, we had Lasagna, Chicken Parmesan, Tuscan Chicken and Shrimp (with gluten free pasta), and Salmon Livornese. Everything tasted great and the portions were a good size. What we didn't like was the service. There was an older gentleman who kind of ran the show directing the young servers but when he arrived with our dishes, he made it seem like we were at a Denny's, yelling out the name of the dishes and abruptly dropping them off. The young busser was nice and I liked that he asked if we wanted water refills versus wasting water and just filling all the glasses. However, he could work on being more smooth. Our server was not very attentive. It took her a very long time to bring us chili flakes. $225.63 for four of us and it included gratuity so I think it's a pretty good deal for a big family meal for 4 of us. I would go back because we liked the food but we were underwhelmed with their service though we want to support and encourage young servers.

January 23, 2025 - Sacramento, CA I have been wanting to try this restaurant ever since reading the Sacramento Bee article last September that named Ippolito's Trattoria as the region's most underrated Italian restaurant. So when a friend suggested we meet there for lunch, I quickly agreed. There were 3 in our party, and I arrived first. I liked the ambiance of the restaurant, which gave off a cozy Italian vibe. But I had to wait a few minutes at the hostess stand before staff took notice that I was there. The layout of the restaurant is such that it is divided into two sections. I was led to the section with the bar, and was seated in a booth next to a window. I noticed immediately after being seated that the silverware on the table had this weird white fuzzy stuff on it (see my photo). Maybe lint from a towel? I don't know what it was, but I pointed it out to the server and he replaced it with no comment. The replacement silverware he provided had fingerprints all over it, so I'm not feeling we are off to a good start. My friends soon arrived, and we all decided to order the lunch special lasagna ($20.00), which supposedly came with salad and garlic bread. I ordered the Ippolito's salad (the other choice was Caesar.) Some of the lettuce in the salad I received was partially frozen, which made for an odd texture. I liked the ingredients in the salad, and the dressing, and if it weren't for the odd bits of frozen lettuce, I would have enjoyed this salad. We were told the garlic bread wasn't out of the oven yet, but would be served soon. On another note, the servers had on black aprons that were smeared with what looked like flour. It was not the most appealing look for serving food. Our lasagna arrived, and as we were served, we were again told that the garlic bread wasn't quite ready, but would be out soon. The look of the lasagna wasn't really appealing. It was a lump buried under a salmon-colored sauce, which seemed a bit odd to me. But okay, looks can be deceiving. Anyway, what I should have done was sent the lasagna back after the first bite, because it was not hot. I'm not sure why I didn't, but you know when you get that feeling that if you send it back, what you get in return is going to be worse that what you have??? It was kind of like that. The lasagna was cold, and the flavor was bland. So overall, not good. The garlic bread? Never did arrive. Now for the restroom...no hook to hang your handbag in the stall. Not at all okay...where am I supposed to put my bag, on the floor??? And they were out of paper towels. I wanted to let a staff member know, but as I left, there were no staff to be found. As I exited into the parking lot, I saw one of the servers in his car parked in front of the restaurant smoking a cigarette. I understand the need for breaks, but maybe a more discreet parking place would be more appropriate in this case. I will definitely not be back.

If you are traveling and staying in any hotels nearby...get in an uber or drive here. Don't waste your time anywhere else. If you live here, this should be your go to spot. The food is home-made. Off the chart authentic and delicious! Everything I ate was so good. The portion of the main entree will feed me for another day. It is a family run business and they really care you can tell. Every portion brought out they were on point. Asked how it was. Attentive. And just good to talk to. Being on the road often I dine a lot. I'd like to replicate this experience everywhere I travel if I could.

Great date night and amazing food! They provide lovely service and affordable deals (check Instagram). Also, I'm a vegetarian and had many options to choose from.

I wish I lived near here! I'd be coming all the time. We were visiting in the area and looking for a place to eat and chose Ippolito's because the reviews and pics looked great. So glad we did! This place was five stars all the way! The service was excellent a very accommodating and friendly. Pasta made in house excellent! The appetizers were great we got the fried raviolis. I ordered the carbonara which was delicious, you can tell the pasta is handmade fresh noodles. And the other dish I tried was their specialty pasta, which was also excellent a nice spice to the dish. We also got two desserts and they were amazing. I really loved their version of a crème brûlée. I also had an Italian soda, which was also delicious. Everything was great. I would definitely be back and I highly recommend.

This was my first time there.the food was absolutely amazing and the service was 100/10 Nicholas was our server and he was great and very attentive!:))

We went out with some friends. We were able to be sat without reservations early on Friday night. We were immediately sat and our server Kate was so attentive and great! They have only beer and wine license not a full bar. The pasta was made in house. The are many big tables so a big party is easily accommodated here. We all had enjoyed our meals, the lasagna and spaghetti were delicious. However the tiramisu was so light and delicious!

Food amazing! Well priced and great portions! Ordered Togo and still amazing. Would love to go back in person to get the full experience

We live in Rosemont and it feels like sometimes we are in a food desert for good breakfast restaurants. We visited this morning and were very happy with all of the food, (huge) portions, and great prices. We had the lemon ricotta pancakes and the pancetta frittata and both were great. The food did take a bit of time to come out, but there are worse things in life than a short wait. Will definitely be back!

Came here on my birthday during dinner hours. The restaurant was at near capacity but there was no wait to be seated as we made a reservation for our scheduled time. Upon arriving, we were greeted by a host who sat us near the back. The initial greeting was good but the service went downhill quickly. It took too long to get our order taken and a party that came after us even received their complimentary bread first. The server didn't check up and the worst part was the wait for the bill. It took over 30 minutes of waiting before we decided to walk to a host. Service time was ridiculously slow and can be improved.

I've tried this spot for both brunch and for dinner and it hit the spot. There was no wait for brunch and everything was so good, I was so impressed. You wouldn't think of hitting an Italian restaurant for brunch, but this is a secret gem. We came back for my friend's birthday and their pizza and pasta is really good as well. Highly recommend if you're on the hunt for a good Italian spot.

The food was amazing, the owners were so kind and there mission has no words. It's right off the freeway which makes for a quick trip when coming from out of town, we will be going back at least once a month highly recommended!!!

I like that they don't just serve lunch, and dinner. They have a breakfast menu as well. Lots of parking, The interior reminds me of the Lady and the Tramp Disney cartoon scene, where they share the string of spaghetti. Very cute, low key. Our history was extremely polite, professional, pleasant, and attentive. The half salads are still a large portion, I was surprised! I loved it, flavor, cheese, bread crumb crumbles, the tomatoes were fresh, and sweet. The zucchini batter was perfection . Definitely up there with my fried zucchini faves. The stuffed ravioli was good, the filling made it that much better. I loved all the dipping sauces. I was able to mix, dip, and pour over everything. The stuffed mushroom with eggplant, was bigger than expected. Very tasty, loved all the flavors, and sauce. Bathroom was clean! Affordable. I will be back! We heard that pasta is made in-house, so that's a must! Would highly recommend. Thanks for the delicious food, and amazing service.

The food and experience at this place were absolutely incredible! Our server, Nicholas -- who is also part owner of Ippolito's -- was amazing from start to finish. We were greeted warmly the moment we walked in and seated right away. Nicholas introduced himself, brought us water, and gave us a moment to look over the menu. When my partner and I couldn't decide what to order, he offered some popular recommendations, which was so helpful! We started with the zucchini fritti paired with a lemon aioli sauce -- hands down a 10/10 appetizer that I would highly recommend! For our entrées, I ordered the Chicken & Shrimp Tuscan Pasta, while my partner went with the Chicken Parmesan. Both dishes were absolutely delicious -- my pasta was packed with flavor, and the chicken parmesan was perfectly crispy and satisfying. Nicholas truly went above and beyond with his customer service, making our dining experience one of the best we've had in a long time. We'll definitely be coming back -- and bringing friends and family with us!

A good small Italian resaurant. The food was good, and the staff friendly and helpful. I just wish the menu was bigger.

I would say this place is definitely a step up above Olive Garden Italian food. Not sure I would go back and pay $15 for 12 pieces of calamari. The pizza was decent, but the beer was trash. Overall might've been better with all you can eat salad and breadsticks at Olive Garden. The service was phenomenal by the way.

This was our first time here. The food was fantastic. I started with Bruschetta and a glass of Chianti. The food was fresh. I had the Osso Bucco Ravioli and my wife had the Gnocchi Gorgonzola. They were both very delicious. We topped it off with the pistachio cannoli. It was a truly wonderful meal. We plan on bringing friends back to enjoy it as well.

We Ordered calamari and garlic bread to start. The marinara sauce was fantastic. The lemon aïoli was pretty good to go along with the calamari. Main dishes that we ordered was the gnocchi, the chicken parmigiana, and the filet mignon steak All 3 were homeruns. Gnocchi was the best we ever had Light and fluffy in a white cheese sauce The chicken Parmesan was cooked perfectly, and the pasta and sauce was fantastic The filet mignon was cooked perfectly as we asked and the Flavor was good. I didn't care for the potatoes they were bland. Our waitress was awesome! It's in a so so location, if it was in a better location, you'd probably need to wait an hour for a table.

We were pretty underwhelmed by this resturant. The service was odd, basic ettiquite like taking away our drink menus when we said we wanted to still look over the beverages for later, or any time we asked for our water to refilled, they took the cup away from us to refill it rather than bring a pitcher or a new cup. The service was nice, but entailed of very young people who just hadn't really been in the industry long enough to carry out the kind of service that would match the price of the menu. The food was forgettable, perhaps we ordered wrong. I had high hopes, but probably won't be coming back.

The food is excellent as well as the service. The spaghetti salciccia is my favorite. It's definitely the best spaghetti I've ever had. Give the soup a try when they have it.

Our dinner at Ippolitos was a very pleasant experience. Felt like going to someone's house and having them prepare you a home-cooked meal with love and care. The service from Nicolas (one of the owners) was top notch, and even his son, who was helping out, was so cute, polite and conscientious. Anytime we asked for something, it was brought to us without delay. I ordered the spaghetti carbonara, and my son ordered the spaghetti salciccia (sp?), and both were incredibly delicious! Not only that, but for the average person, the portions were generous enough to have leftovers for lunch the next day... but I couldn't believe my son ate his entire meal! My son especially enjoyed that the ratio of meat to pasta was about 50/50-- no skimping on the sausage! Another thing that I especially appreciated. was the music... I liked and recognized many of the songs, because I have them on my own playlist! It was a very nice, eclectic, variety of just about everything-- not only Italian music, with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, etc., but a really nice variety of just about everything chill and pleasant, nothing loud or obnoxious. The ONLY reason for the 4 stars (I would give 4 1/2 if it were possible) is because the table had some sticky film on it, so we asked to have it wiped down a little better. They very nicely came and wiped it down, but it was still sticky, so really don't know what the cause of that was. But, overall, it was an absolute pleasant experience, and we will definitely be back!

First time eating at Ippolito's Trattoria and definitely not our last! They offered Veteran's Day meals through a limited menu which included a Spaghetti Carbonara that was amazing! Service was very welcoming and our waiter/ co-owner was able to produce us with details to each menu item. Their pastas are fresh & hand made. They cook with wild and fresh meats and fish. The restaurant was clean and inviting.

Amazing experience! We visited Ippolitos for the first time yesterday after seeing them on Good Day Sacramento and I am so happy we did. My husband and I split the spinach salad and it was the delicious! I had their house made gnocchi and it was fluffy and so flavorful. My husband had the mushroom tortellini and we both loved it. Nicholas took excellent care of us. He was thoughtful and friendly even though we could see he was busy. He took the time to make sure our experience was special. Can't wait to visit here again ! Can't say enough great things about our meal and Nicholas !

We had a wonderful meal! The service was professional and timely. The atmosphere was friendly and genuine. The menu is one of the best I've seen for an Italian restaurant on the West Coast. The chef execute very well, our food was tasty and appetizing! This is a great find.

Arrived at around 6:30pm and there were plenty of open tables. Our party of 6 was seated quickly. The chef/co-owner was very welcoming and friendly and provided the service for our table since there was only one other waiter. Fresh, hot rolls right out of the oven were brought over - excellent way to start our dinner. Some at our table required food substitutions, which the chef was very accommodating towards. We started with the zucchini fritti (so good!) and the stuffed mushrooms (that sauce!). For the entree, I wanted the veal piccatta but was told they didn't have veal. Chicken was offered instead. Comes with a side of veggies and pasta. Trying to watch the carb intake, so they doubled up on the veggies since I declined the pasta. The flavor of the chicken was good, liked the lemony sauce, and I loved the charred brussel sprouts (especially dipped in that stuffed mushroom sauce). Someone else ordered gnocchi but with their tomato sauce. Got to try one, and that was an excellent gnocchi. The pasta carbonara came highly recommended, and friends enjoyed that dish. Another ordered the eggplant parmesan, and she said it was one of the best ones she's eaten. Friends couldn't pass up dessert and wanted to try the profiteroles (comes with 6) and the spumoni. Chef was great in that he served the profiteroles on individual dishes since he knew we were sharing, as well as divided up the spumoni. Everything was very good, and we all enjoyed our meals and desserts. Service was also excellent. Would love to return.

Ippolito's is such a hidden gem! First time here for brunch and wow, it was amazing and such a great deal! They do a lot of promotions where kids eat free and the restaurant is huge - so it is definitely family friendly. I've been here now for dinner and brunch and I would return for either in a heartbeat. I got the pancetta frittata which came with a side of potatoes and toast. My boyfriend got the French toast which came with a side of eggs and sausage. Both dishes were $13.50 each, which is such a good deal for the amount of food you get.

We just had a team dinner here and it was phenominal. We had the calamari, Caesar and mixed green salads, spaghetti with a sausage marinara sauce, gnocchi, and a chicken fetucini alfredo, followed by gelato and cannoli. Everything was absolutely delicious and the service was great. One of the best Italian meals I have had in recent years.

I am SO glad I stumbled upon this restaurant on Yelp. We came pretty late for dinner on a Sunday so we had the restaurant practically to ourselves. Our waiter was very helpful in explaining their food and gave some suggestions. He let us know their seafood is wild-caught and that 90% of what they serve is made in-house (including their pasta!). He did let us know we had just missed a huge crowd earlier due to the news (Good Morning Sac?) being there to interview them - so definitely check them out before everyone starts coming. We started off with the garlic bread (you have the option to add cheese) and calamari (you can opt for an aioli dip). We stuck to the original way just to try it out. The garlic bread was so flavorful without it being salty like some other restaurants. The calamari was delicious, cooked well and not chewy/rubbery at all. My daughters and I split the shrimp spaghetti limone which was a vibrant, light cream sauce. The shrimp were deveined and a great size (there was more shrimp under the pasta!) as well as the lasagne. The lasagne just melts in your mouth. It was filling without it being too heavy. We opted to pass on dessert but we will definitely be back to try it then. I definitely feel the value matched what was prepared for us and I love to support local establishments like this. They also serve brunch Saturdays and Sundays 10am-2pm, they offer a kids menu (including brunch) AND kids eat free on Sundays!

Finally made it out to try this place. Definitely a good Italian food place! We were lucky enough to snag a a reservation, and we were not disappointed. The pasta was amazing, and the shrimp scampi was phenomenal. Staff seemed stressed (understaffed) but still friendly. Lots of parking in front, definitely coming back.

First time trying this place out! It was absolutely delicious and the service is very accommodating! Super friendly staff (Valerie was awesome) and the decor makes you feel like you're in Italy

Great food!! We got the carbonara and the fettuccine alfredo and both were delicious. The waiter said they make 90% of their menu in house and the pasta is made fresh. Even the garlic bread was made to order! I would definitely come back. The service was fantastic. The waiter that helped us was incredibly kind and even moved us to a larger table by the window because he noticed we were a little cramped. We didn't even have to say anything!

tonight we were treated for dinner for my wife's birthday.. we started with the Burrata and calamari.. my wife got the spaghetti carbonara and i got the tuscan chicken and shrimp.. everything was hot and cooked with great detail.. even the bread was hot and served with oil and balsamic vinegar.. we finished the night with desert and we couldn't ask for better service and a better atmosphere for me and my family.. mr nickolas you've have a great restaurant we will definitely recommending and returning, thank you and god bless!

Great food and service. My first time here and I will be returning soon. I enjoyed inside the restaurant also. Wine was well priced and very good.

We stopped here on a whim wanting some Italian Food! We were pleasantly surprised:) Wonderful food! Fresh made pasta! Great service! Highly recommend!

What a wonderful experience. No wonder the restaurant was packed on a Friday evening. Our server, Holly, was personable, attentive and very knowledgeable. She explained how everything from the pasta and sauces to the desserts were homemade and fresh. And boy was she right. For appetizers we enjoyed calamari fritti and burrata. The former was tasty but a bit tough while the latter was incredible! For main courses, we had the shrimp scampi, the tuscan chicken and shrimp, and the casarecce gamberetti. All were flavorful and filling. For dessert we tried the tiramisu, bread pudding and gelato. A great way to end a wonderful meal. The restaurant's interior is vibrant and nicely decorated. Prices are very reasonable. Check it out! We will definitely be back!

This place is in a terrible location. It is hard to find and you won't come across it just by driving around, but food is outstanding! This is actually a family run restaurant and the service is incredible. I don't live anywhere near this place but I am definitely coming back with my wife on date night. I really recommend stopping in for a handmade meal.
