    Chicken piccata pasta
    Dang Y.

    I have been here with friends before. Came back and I am glad I did. Was hungry after work and wanted to try them again. Craving for pasta so I ordered the chicken piccata pasta. While waiting I got my soda and they give you bread with olive oil dipping sauce. When I came in, there was already a dinner rush on one side and they brought me to the quieter section of the place. The place is nice and clean and they take care of you right away. Waited a little for the food and I am fine with it. The dish was cooked really well. Chicken was cooked perfect and love the flavors of lemon and capers. I can have this again but want to try their other pasta dishes. Thank you.

    BBQ chicken pizza

    I had gift cards for this place and finally got to try it with family. It was my first time here and reading the reviews seems like it can be hit or miss. Parking is in a huge lot and shared with other shops so there's no issue with parking. The restaurant has a lot of seating and there's a variety of items. We did the deal, which was 3 pizzas for $18 (I forgot the exact deal). We got cheese (for the kids), pepperoni and BBQ chicken. I also ordered the egg rolls and there was complimentary bread with oil and herbs. We also got the chicken piccata and Bolognese. I thought everything was good, and really liked the chicken piccata. I would skip the Bolognese though. The desert was good as well. This was the kids favorite part of course. I feel like the desert could be skipped also. Service was average, since we felt like it could've been a little better. We got food to go since there was a lot. I would try again.

    Great Service in Sacramento. I was able to use my $10 off $40. Thank youManager Luis Mirazo.  Suggested them to have Whiskey Uncle Nearest.

    Food was great! Only wish, CPK would implement back on the menu the shrimp scampi pizza. Today, server Julissa was very helpful and attentive. She made the experience welcoming. On this first Sunday in August 2025 I appreciate serve like that provided by server Julissa. All smiles and ability to provide good service. Ambiance, was nice and calm and peaceful. I was able to watch the game and get some work done in peace.

    These ranch were $1.15 each on UberEats and were less than halfway filled. One was also sour. The margherita pizza was okay. The street corn was bomb but costs way too much for how little you get.

    CHICKEN PICCATA

    I ordered delivery and I enjoyed the chicken piccata. The food came with the free bread. Sadly they ran out of the red velvet cake.

    Thai Crunch Salad.

    I had a gift card from my boss for CPK and finally put it to use for my husband and I's Valentine's Day date. Walking in, the place was clean and open and the bar was conveniently in a good spot for easy access through the restaurant. We were seated and were greeted by our waitress. She asked if we wanted to take some time and we said yes. 10-15min pass and my husband and I already decided what we wanted to order but our waitress took a bit to get back to us to take our order. Finally when we got to tell her our order, it then took a while for our food come out. We were pretty impatient this day probably because we were starving and saved our appetite for this lunch date. Once our food came to our table, my husband and I split our dishes so we each had equal of the pasta and salad. The Thai Crunch Salad had a perfect Asian zing to it and my husband also added in some grilled chili lime avocados with it which was definitely worth the extra few bucks! But the star of our lunch would definitely have to be the Garlic Cream Fettucine. The sauce was the right amount of cream and the flavor was delicious. The portion size of both dishes were definitely enough to feed both my husband and I. Overall, the food was great, atmosphere and location was in a decent area, parking was convenient, but the service was just slacking a bit this day. I will probably try it again someday and hopefully have a better experience because I would love to order the Garlic Cream Fettucine again!

    Started bread

    This was my first time trying cpk and I gotta say I'm impressed. The staff was great, the restaurant is beautiful and clean. Here is what we got: Burnt ends Mac n cheese: 5/5 Carne asada Mac n cheese: 4/5 flavor was soooo good but noodles could've been cooked a little longer and more cheesy. Mexican corn: 5/5 Churro swirl: 4/5

    mushroom pepperoni pizza.
    Lisa V.

    all my years living in California, how did i ever eat at CPK? the restaurant is listed on the inkind app so its nice you get a credit back after your meal. table of 10 on sunday early evening was nice and not too crowded. solid meal and they gave us surprised giftcard to use next time.

    Margarita with a shot of Chambord. So good
    Kaylee C.

    They have a secret menu!! And it's all Mac and cheese with pizza toppings. I was skeptical, but it's actually very good! I tried the pepperoni, sausage and mushroom one. I added goat cheese. Really creamy and flavorful. Very cool secret menu!

    Brought my girlfriend for some dinner, we ordered a BBQ chicken pizza and a margarita tomato pasta. Both were delicious and the service was great. They attended us right away and the food came out ASAP. Also got desert at the end! Very satisfied.

    Sitting at the bar with sangria
    Rachel C.

    One of the final few? What a relief! A really nice space, large, open, not too loud, even when crowded. PLENTY of bar space as well! Big windows with natural light! The bartender, Manny was attentive and on point. I appreciated the manager checking in twice. We love our "fish bowls" of red sangria and rosé sangria, love our buffalo cauliflower, and my daughter loves the Mac & cheese, of course, even at age 25. Ordering would be easier if you brought back the Shrimp Scampi Pizza. I do appreciate the Salmon Piccata, that's one I always custom ordered... just make the chicken piccata noodles and add the cedar plank salmon or the pan-seared salmon. It seamed to throw off the kitchen when I did that, so this is easier, but TRY it with cedar plank. Try it with pan-seared. Much better than the sort of oddly charred salmon you've got going now. (Maybe it's supposed to be pan-seared but they are not nailing it?) A few years ago we showed up to our CPK in Utah to find it had closed. Last month while visiting Colorado we pulled up to one and were told it closed 3 days earlier. We found another location in CO and it looked BAD. The restaurant looked rundown. The manager looked exhausted. They charred my salmon twice then comped it. Glad to see someone is running a tight ship in Sacramento!!!

    Avocado egg roll
    Krystal W.

    Avocado egg roll - 8/10, it tasted good but I wish it had a different sauce to it. One was a spicy ranch and another was a ranch. Supreme pizza - 9/10, overall very good but the crust was a little soggy. I wish it was a little bit crispier.

    BBQ Chicken Pizza with Bacon
    Erik B.

    Pizza was great as always. Lemonade is spectacular. I grew up loving CPK and I'm glad there's one near where I live. 10/10 must recommend.

    Melted cheese and crispy crust thanks to our air fryer!

During dinner, the Operations Manager, Michael, stopped by our table to introduce himself and let us know he was available if we needed anything. He checked in with us multiple times throughout the evening, which was appreciated. However, the experience ended on a disappointing note. As we were leaving, we asked about having our parking validated and were told that nothing could be done because they had no validation tickets available. While the food and service were excellent, after spending approximately $2,500 on dinner, we expected that an Operations Manager would have the authority or flexibility to offer some alternative solution. And the way he spoke to his staff was not very nice. Unfortunately, that final interaction overshadowed an otherwise enjoyable evening and left our group feeling that this would likely be a one-time visit.

We typically prefer Michelin Star restaurants when we go out for a nice dinner but Sacramento is quite limited in this type of restaurant and we really wanted to go out for my husband's birthday. The dry aged ribeye was incredibly delicious and cooked perfectly medium rare! We had caviar and ceviche for starters and both of those were great! I will say that the caviar came with potato chips instead of crackers which I liked but they should really make sure the chips they include are all actually useable for the caviar and the condiments that go with the caviar. Many of the chips were too small to actually use but the caviar was delicious, I'd of happily just eaten it off the spoon Our sides were creamed spinach which I was disappointed with because it had Parmesan cheese on top and I don't like Parmesan cheese! We also had fries that I believe were cooked in beef tallow which I'm not a fan of but ate most of them anyway and our last side was a medley of roasted veggie's which was pretty straight forward and tasty. Our deserts were not anything special which is the way I usually like mine and they did not disappoint. Our server Brenan N. was attentive and a delight! I asked several questions about things on the menu and he didn't hesitate to give me straight forward answers which I appreciated. We will definitely visit again when we want a nice steak in Sacramento!

We decided for our last night all together we would pick a highly rated one for a special meal. Magpie Cafe right in downtown fit the bill and we were thoroughly impressed by everything. We ordered just about every special plus many other dishes, some multiple, from appetizers through to desserts. It's in a beautiful area of the city, open to the street and green park. We opted to sit outside as it was a lovely evening. The beer menu had some regional favorites, all small and well chosen. For food we went all out, and I'll let the photos speak for themselves. Everything was so colorful and presented beautifully. Highlights were the pickles, fried asparagus, anchovies, and croquettes. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about our dishes, she added to the experience. If you're in the area, this restaurant is worth a stop. They even have a cafe in the airport!

    For my last supper in Sacramento, Sam and I went to Magpie. It's always on OPEN TABLE. We sat…read moreoutside, and the weather was perfect. We both had the strawberry lemon basil fizz. The drink contained gin, strawberry syrup, and fresh lemon basil. It was light and refreshing and the perfect spring summer drink. Then we had the baby eggplant which was marinated in a soy glaze. It also had some sort of peanut sauce base. This was a delightful bite. Both of us were very impressed. The presentation was gorgeous. Clearly still on my eggplant craze. One of the reasons we went to Magpie was for the trout dip. In a shocking turn of events, they didn't have it. I think it was an old menu. Maybe their winter menu. This was a bummer. Instead, they had a salmon dip. We got that, and I wish it was more flavorful/smokey. Normally, I'm not a smokey seasoning person, but I think it goes nicely with fish. The chips though were really good. I love a kettle chip. I thought they would be thicker, since the dip was thicker. I'm glad they served the dip with the spoon. We also had the stone fruit salad. I was shocked it didn't come with a cheese, but after I tasted it, the creamy yogurt successfully filled that void. Once again, the plating was gorgeous. I think the peaches were good, but I can tell that later in the summer, these peaches will be even more delectable. I think the pistachios were an excellent choice to this salad. For my main course, I had the painted hills flat iron steak with a Chimichurri sauce and crispy smashed potatoes. The steak was well cooked, and with the seasoning of the chimichurri, it was a delightful bite. Sam had the gnocchi with pesto and fresh tomatoes. The gnocchi was fluffy. Both she and I thought that the pesto was good, but we both wish that we wish there was more of it. I love pesto though, so I am always going to think that. It came in dollops, rather than mixed in, so I think that was part of the problem. We also had to get dessert. I had the ice cream sandwiches. They were made with lemon thyme shortbread cookies with vanilla Guenther's Ice Cream. I wish it was a stronger vanilla taste or a flavored ice cream. The cookies were too good though. Sam had the lavender panna cotta. Normally I am not a huge panna cotta fan, but this one was delicious. It had such a strong lavender taste, in a good way. It kind of tasted like I was eating lotion because of the thickness of the panna cotta with the lavender flavor.
