Beautiful Botox – The botox in the faces of the patronage made a fitting metaphor for the restaurant, it may look good, but in the end it?s just a shot of pois0n. The outstanding service and beautiful surroundings could not make up for the poorly cut mango, the fishy shrimp, or the potroast-tasting lamb. My second anniversary would have been equally served by sitting in the lounge of the Ritz with a bag of potato chips.
The Worst Food in Sacramento – Biba Restaurant in Sacramento was terrible. It was the first time in my life that I had to send back unedible food. The Duck was awful, neither my boyfriend or I could get down a single bite. So the I tried the chicken, which was not terrible, but very greasy and not tasty. The portions are a joke... not that you'd even want that much of this food. Plus the atmosphere was too loud to be a romantic restaurant... and without the promised pianist. The service and the wine was pretty good. But the ... read more
Amazing...Outstanding – Our dinner was simply amazing. My friend and I could not decide on appetizers, so our server suggested half portions of the two we were debating...buffalo mozzarella with roasted cherry tomatoes, and a crab cake. Simply amazing flavors. Next we split an order of the gnocci with gorganzola cream sauce. Paired with a glass of pinot noir, this was simply one of the best dishes I have ever tasted in my life. We lingered over this course for quite a while. Next, the main course - I had chicken stuffed with... read more
the gnocchi are to DIE for – For a long time, I used to only order gnocchi at other Italian restaurants to see if they would compare with those of Biba's. I have long given up trying. The gnocchi are truly divine and I always order it when we go there. Of course, my husband complains because he can never find anything to eat on the menu. I have always found that we got great service (but we always order a bottle of wine...several reviews seemed to hint that otherwise, the service was lacking).
Over rated – Since moving to Sacramento I have heard nothing but awe about Biba. Sadly, I was disappointed by the lack luster of attention to both my party and our food. We dined on a Wednesday night; yet, we did not receive much attention from our server and had to wait nearly 10 minutes to be greeted. Our entrees came out cold and our server did not check back to make sure we were happy with our dinners. To add salt to a wound, we were anticipating a great dinning experience and left with a much lighter wallet and no satis... read more
Not Snooty - Not Rushed – I've been to Biba's on several occasions for a variety of reasons: with close friends to celebrate Christmas, with my husband on our anniversary...in every case I felt well taken care of, never rushed, always accommodated. It is not a place to go if you are in a hurry...you should devote the evening to the culinary delights offered. I can never decide what to order (offerings are by course and there are many!) so, in several instances, I have asked to split dishes with my fellow diners and have alwa... read more
Overpriced AND Overrated – Biba is one of those "Celebrity Chefs" who's featured on the "Cooking Channel" and numerous TV cooking programs. Although I think her cookbooks are da bomb, my family gives "Biba's" (the restaurant) a BIG THUMBS DOWN...... the "overly attentive staff" is condescending and swarmy....... the portions are rather chintzy.....I was still hungry after my meal was completed. the prices are really expensive, considering what you get! My supposedly "1/2 chicken" was puny and dried out.....it tasted like ove... read more
Just Average – Having moved here from NYC is was disappointted that there aren't any authentic Italian restaurants in Sacramento. I heard several rave reviews about Biba's and decided to go. Needless to say, I was terribly disappointed. The menu was boring; typical to say the least. I have seen the same selections in diners across the country. Biba is infamous and I expected so much more. On a positive note they have a nice wine selection, an attentive (not overly friendly) staff, and the ambiance` is lovely. Unfortunately, ... read more
Amazing – I have been here twice and it is one of the best restaurants anywhere. Service is excellent and the food awesome. My absolute favorite is the Gorgonzola Gnocchi-TO DIE FOR. Biba is such a wonderfully warm and friendly person. I am a total foodie and this place passes the test. I highly disagree with the previous poster who said the decor was good but they were packed in. Try some of the nicer restaurants in SF if you want to know what packed in really means. They decor at Biba's does leave something to be desired, ... read more
