Crazee For Pasta - Alfredo pasta - Italian Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

Super place for groups! It is a large restaurant with a nice casual feel, making it comfortable for families and friend groups. The standout feature is the food, which tastes like it belongs in a formal, elegant restaurant. Having a full bar is great too. Excellent experience all around. read more

I have been a fan of Caffe Italiano for years and LOVE this new place!!!! The pasta and entrees are amazing, but the PIZZA is totally unique and the dough is something I have only found in Italy itself! You can tell this place is newly renovated, clean, and has friendly staff. I cant wait for this to be a new go-to in Gold River! read more

Came in 45 minutes to close and finding a place that is open until 10 pm is hard! Sat at the bar and how cool, restaurant has been open for 3 weeks - Greeted by the manager - super friendly - Our order this evening is fettuccine Alfredo w/shrimp and a Spring Mix salad with Gorgonzola and grilled chicken - The cook came out and asked how everything was - that is a huge plus in my book read more

This was our initial visit to Crazee For Pasta. I found some positives and some negatives. First, the pleasantries... We both ordered a Riesling that was listed on the menu 'anonymously'. There was no vintner listed. It was quite excellent! I just wish I knew what it was I was drinking...! I would like to buy a bottle of it. At $12 per glass for a Riesling, it was a bit high. But the quality allowed us to overlook the price. Next, we ordered the Calamari Fritti. This was a true delight. We always order Calamari when dining out, if it is on the menu, and judge it against the Calamari at Sienna, in Roseville. This Calamari was quite excellent, and the equal to Sienna's. Highly recommended. I ordered the Penne Pasta in a creamy Pesto sauce, with chicken and prawns. The chicken was a bit disappointing, cubed and tasting like packaged pre-cooked chicken strips one finds at Trader Joes. The 'prawns' were the smallest prawns I have seen, more likely shrimp than prawns. The Pesto sauce was very good... but it drowned the Penne pasta it was served on. Much too heavy on the sauce. I would recommend asking for light sauce, unless you prefer it swimming in sauce. My wife ordered the Pasta Al Pomodoro, which was Spaghetti in a red tomato sauce with Basil and garlic. Again, a bit heavy on the sauce. Both pastas were cooked perfectly, just too much sauce on both entrees. The staff were friendly and professional; we were offered bread quickly and it was very good. My only complaint is that not being Italian, I am not much into dipping bread into olive oil and Balsamic vinegar. It would be nice if all Italian restaurants would offer butter with their bread. Not a deal breaker, though. Our waiter was prompt, and came back a few minutes after the entree was served to check our satisfaction, and was timely throughout the dining experience. I just wish I could compliment him by name, as he did not introduce himself when we were seated. As to the ambience... Crazee For Pasta does not present the aura of haute cuisine by its furnishings. Bare floors and tables/chairs that remind one of cafeteria style ambience. The website photos, as they always do, paint a little more 'uptown' picture. But we must remember that it is really about the food. Upon leaving, a young lady with long, blue accented hair, provided a very nice final staff interaction. She stated she hoped we enjoyed our dining experience and would consider returning again. She wished us a wonderful rest of our evening and encouraged us to drive safely. It was obviously not the often canned speech one gets upon leaving most businesses. It was real. Kudos to her! So, would we return? That's the question. I would say definitely, we would come back. But, my next visit will simply be Riesling, Caesar Salad, and Calamari. Full stop. read more

Came here on a whim for early dinner on a Sunday and received excellent service! They just opened up less than a month ago so I'm glad we found them on Yelp. There was a photo on Yelp of a pizza with burrata and honestly that's what convinced us to come in! We don't typically go out for Italian food. But we were excited when we saw risotto on the menu! We tried the risotto di mare which had great texture and was cooked nicely, although could've used more seasoning/salt. We also ordered a pizza for ourselves with onion, ham, peppers, and burrata, which was absolutely delicious! I liked that we could pick our own toppings but $2.99 per topping seemed a little extreme so we opted to exclude some other toppings that we would've otherwise wanted. The cook on the pizza was great for our preference but I could understand if some people would want it to be more golden. It was nice that they had a specific kids menu and kids cups also. The kids menu pizza was huge and was enough for both of our kids, and leftovers for both too! They do bring out complimentary bread but it wasn't super fresh, or maybe the texture was just more dense. The dessert presentation is very enticing, they bring out a tray of all of the current dessert specials so it takes willpower to decline! But the thing that really bugged me was they just kept bowls of Parmesan sitting out around the restaurant and they grab from there when you need cheese sprinkled. It seemed strange to just have sitting out, but also sitting out uncovered. Probably a few things to work out as they're open longer but I wish them success! read more

For a restaurant that had such an anticipated opening, we were getting pretty anxious to try it out! We would drive by often and still it hadn't opened yet. The inside decor is a little lackluster. Instead of comfortable and inviting booth settings, it's more stagnant with just simple tables. You can see the kitchen for an open concept effect, but it still doesn't capture the intimate and inviting appearance, that draws you in from the pasta choices advertised outside. Parking wise, there is plenty of that because it's located in a shopping complex. We were assisted by Hayden and they were very attentive and kind. We ordered- 2 Italian Sodas 1 Ravioli al Pomodoro 1 Vegetarian Pizza with Burrata The crust on the pizza was actually really delicious. The pasta was seasoned, flavored and executed well. I would definitely return for this pasta. Minestrone was listed as having chicken stock, which I appreciate as a heads up, but it's also disappointing to not have a vegetable base. My two disappointments include... Limited vegetarian options And before check out, we were advised that we had to sit thru a presentation of desserts offered even though we had said no initially. For anyone watching their sugar levels for health reasons, this can be off-putting. We felt that Hayden was doing their job of offering, but after I say no as the guest, I don't want to be presented with pressure to upsell dessert. read more

I had been waiting for this place to open for quite a while. I still remember when it was an excellent Chinese buffet, but the building had sat empty for a long time. I'm glad a business is back in it. I came in just a few days after they opened. I was seated, and I was served by Lisa. Very friendly, very helpful, very knowledgeable. I asked her a couple of questions about the menu, and she had an answer right away. The meal started with a basket of bread, and Lisa put together a plate of olive oil and balsamic, with grated Parmesan on top. The bread was warm and fluffy, and the olive oil/balsamic was perfect for dipping. I started out with the salmon carpaccio. There was a very decent amount of salmon, and it was under a bed of spring mix. The salmon was tender and very, very flavorful, and the spring mix Provided a nice pop of freshness to go with it. There was also lemon to sprinkle on everything. I liked the Dish a lot. For my main course, I had the tortellini panna e prosciutto. Tortellini in a cream sauce, with a nice Portion of prosciutto. The dish was very good. The tortellini were tender, and the cream sauce was fantastic. It did eat just a little bit salty for my taste. I don't know if the saltiness was in the sauce, or if it was from the prosciutto, but I did notice it just a little bit. It was still an excellent dish. While I was having lunch, Sergio, who I believe was the chef, came by to ask me how my meal was. I said it was very good, I was wearing an Italian shirt, and so he asked me if I was from Italy. I said yes, my mother was. And we chatted about that for a few moments. Just absolutely everybody in the staff was so friendly. I had enough of the carpaccio and the tortellini, to take Home for a decent second meal. For the quantity and quality of the food, the price was fair. There weren't that many people in the restaurant, and I'm hoping that that's just because it just opened. I hope they get some great advertising and word-of-mouth, because this is definitely a place worth coming back to you again and again. Thank you. read more

This restaurant opened about two weeks ago. and We have been looking forward to trying it since we moved to this area about one year ago. The restaurant is spacious and I can see having a work party here. The menu was pretty extensive. We did not try the desserts, although they looked amazing. I tried the chicken parmigiana which came with a lot of spaghetti. The taste was good, but the meat was a little too firm for my liking. We also had the calamari appetizer and minestrone soup. Both were great. My wife and I shared the salad which was more than enough for the two of us. My son really liked the fettuccine Alfredo. The server was friendly and enthusiastic. We will definitely be back to try other options. I think that it is a good neighborhood Italian restaurant. read more

First off, the services was good. We were welcomed warmly. I loved the decor inside. Now on to the food The cheesecake and pizza were the stars of the day. The cheesey garlic bread was pretty good. The pasta noodle texture was perfect. My only real issue with the pasta was a lack of flavor in the noodles. The consistency of the sauce was heavy. Heavier then normal for that particular dish. But thats my opinion. All in all worth the visit read more

TL;DR This place is legit. Try it! We tried Crazee for Pasta today and loved it. What I don't get is the branding. It's a good quality bistro. "Crazee for Pasta" doesn't suggest a bistro to me. I get more of a family/ kids, budget experience vibe from that name. They also do pizza and Italian entrees, so it's not just pasta. A bit confusing but not a deal breaker. Other than the name not matching the experience, we had a delightful meal. Their menu is similar to Caffe Italiano in Fair Oaks with the same owner. We love Caffe Italiano, so we had high hopes for CFP. My husband is half Italian on his mom's side, and he makes amazing Italian food including scratch-made ravioli, so when we go out for Italian, he doesn't suffer fools lightly (looking at you Olive Garden). I had the cheese ravioli pomodoro and minestrone soup. My husband had the gnocchi bolognese and Caesar salad. Focaccia, olive oil, balsamic and a carafe of cold water were provided, as well. I rate my meal 5/5. The minestrone was to die for. It's quite clearly homemade from scratch, no corners were cut. The base is not tomato; it's a lovely, flavorful (not canned) chicken broth. It was absolutely delicious. I could see ordering this to go with a caprese salad and focaccia for a light takeout option. It's made with kidney beans, garbanzos, potato, celery, carrot, zucchini and lots of fresh herbs. The pasta is orecchiettis, shaped like open shells or tiny ears. Topped with fresh grated parm and black pepper... it earned a chef's kiss. My standard for raviolis is that the pasta needs to be tender and pillowy. My husband's ravioli has spoiled me. I rarely order restaurant raviolis because most of the time it falls short. CFP's raviolis were amazing. Light and pillowy. Not tough, soggy, or too thick. Not over- or under-stuffed. The sauce was also very good and simple, it reminded me of Marcella Hazan's (the Italian Julia Child) classic tomato sauce, but CFP's sauce developed the tomato profile with paper- thin slices of garlic, a bit of carrot, basil leaves and other herbs. Best of all, adding freshly grated Parmesan didn't render it too salty. I took a picture of the minestrone and the raviolis. My husband loved the gnocchi. It was not too dense or doughy. The bolognese was meaty, balanced and flavorful. It's pictured in one of the ravioli pics in the upper right. Caesar salad was also delicious. He gave his meal 5/5, also. And we both devoured the focaccia! It was freshly baked and tasted like it. We were too full for dessert. And our server Lisa was very friendly. If you haven't tried Crazee for Pasta yet, go! Our meal including tax, tip and two bar drinks came to just under $120 for dinner -- Typical for a nice date night. read more

I met my friend here because we were so excited that it finally opened. The place was pretty empty, but it was a Wednesday at noon, so we just thought it was a slow lunch day. Our waiter was quite young and didn't offer a basket of bread like I saw on other tables near us. I asked if there was a difference between the lunch menu and the dinner menu, especially portion sizes, and he said there was no difference. Since we did not receive any bread like the other diners near us, I ordered the cheese garlic bread, which was quite tasty, but I would have liked to have received the basket of bread that all the other tables had received. I ordered the spaghetti (almost $20.00) and asked for extra sauce because I like my pasta saucy and assumed that a small salad would accompany it like most Italian restaurants, but I was wrong. My friend ordered the chicken piccata entree. No salad was brought out to either of us, and once my spaghetti arrived, there was barely any sauce, and it looked watered down and was not thick like a traditional sauce. The pasta mostly consisted of dry noodles with two small dry meatballs and watery, no-flavor sauce. I thought to myself, at least Olive Garden offers a large salad with breadsticks, and the spaghetti has more flavor for a much less expensive price. It took forever to get our check, and I think I ended up eating less than a quarter of the spaghetti, which was lacking in flavor and quality sauce. My husband and my sister and her husband were looking forward to visiting this place, but I told them I would not be returning and was extremely disappointed. read more

Beautiful Italian restaurant!! Wonderful service from a staff that seems to really enjoy their job and answering questions from customers! Food is absolutely DIVINE! This is the closest Italian place to me and I couldn't be more thrilled with my experiences! Restaurant is clean, staff is friendly, and food is to die for. Use to have to drive far but now I get authentic Italian food along with kind and quick service! Try the Penne Mare E Monti! It's absolutely delicious pesto pasta with chicken and prawns! A combo I was a little unsure about but will never doubt again. Overall, the restaurant brings a fun atmosphere and exquisite experience to a family dinner! read more

My son and I have been waiting for Crazee for Pasta to open and ended up going the first night. My son (11) loves pizza and said it ranks #1 or #2 on his favorite pizza place list. He already asked if we could go back. For me, I asked our the waitress to pick the entrée that would make the best first impression and make me want to come back. She picked the lasagna and it was really really good! I got the mini canoli's and tiramisu for dessert to go. I'm Italian and a tough critic with canoli's, personally I found them average. I've typically disappointed when I get tiramisu, but theirs is probably the best I've ever had and will for sure order every time! I loved the dining area and various colors they use; very welcoming atmosphere. read more

First of all, they just opened one day ago, so there are still some kinks to work out, but a great start. It is a large space with two sorta separate dining areas, plus a bar area. Open, clean, and nicely decorated. The only negative note was that it was way cold. The staff was more than helpful, They were fully staffed for a full house with a troop of trainees assisting. As there were few customers when we were there, we got terrific service as the staff was plentiful (and moving around helped them keep warm? :-) ) Stephen, the manager, came by to check on us and gave some of the back story on the long delay in opening. The food was varying in our opinion. The Focaccia was excellent - warm and with a hint of butter. The complimentary olive oil and balsamic made it even better. We shared a Caesar salad that was crispy, tasty and huge. The addition of anchovies only made it better. The spouse had the Chicken Piccata which while good, it seemed to be lacking something. She wanted more lemon, being a lemon freak, and I thought the amount was OK - not being a big fan of lemon. The chicken was very slightly overcooked but still edible. The PIccata needed something more to make it perfect though we never figured out what that was exactly. I had the Spaghetti Vongole that had a ton of clams. Much more than I expected. The broth was OK, but could have used a tad more garlic and clam flavor. I missed seeing chili flakes in the broth but the Basil strips added an unexpected flavor element that I enjoyed. The dessert tray was tempting and had what you would hope for and expect - Canolli, Tiramisu (in three flavors), Cheesecake, and Chocolate Mousse Cake. While they all looked appealing, we passed and will wait for another visit. read more

No ambiance whatsoever. Service was good but when my gorgonzola salad was missing walnuts, server didn't bring them. And someone needs to learn how to cook. Carbonara is not fettuccini alfredo with pancetta. Was expecting carbonara which is light and almost sticky. This was dripping in cream sauce. Tasted like something in a cafeteria! The icing on the cake? Italian candies made in Argentina! Love supporting new businesses, but will not be back. read more

The lasagna was decent, and the pizza was pretty good. Service was solid, and the restaurant itself was clean and well-kept. Unfortunately, the carbonara didn't have much flavor, which was a bit of a letdown. Overall, it was an okay experience. read more

Amazing food, super cool Italian modern vibe. Great place to bring the family. Easy location, and plenty of parking.

I am Italian; I live in Florence and visit Sacramento often because I have relatives here, and I usually stay for at least two months. I came across this Italian restaurant and wanted to give it a try to see if it was truly authentic--or just another one of those places that claim to be Italian but aren't. The owner, Sergio, is 100% Italian. We chatted for a while, speaking entirely in our native Italian. The place itself is truly beautiful and welcoming--good music, a pleasant atmosphere... in short, just lovely! I decided to try the pizza, and I must say it is handmade and made to order (a rarity around here, as almost everyone else uses machines or serves frozen pies); it was tasty, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. You can tell it's handmade for two reasons: first, because it isn't perfectly round--nor should it be--just like in Italy; but it is absolutely delicious. I ordered mine with mozzarella, tomato, mushrooms, and prosciutto, though there are plenty of other ingredients you can add. Second, you have to wait a little while for the preparation and cooking--again, just like in Italy. I was served by Sara, who was incredibly kind and very professional. I will definitely be returning to "Crazee for Pasta" soon, as I have finally found true, handmade Italian pizza. read more

Crazee For Pasta - My amazing pizza!! - Italian Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

Had a great experience. Lisa, our server was amazing. Kind, friendly and prompt. Steve the manager was awesome. Service was top notch. Focaccia was excellent. Lisa recommended putting Parmesan in the oil and balsamic and it was delicious. I had a pizza and it was really good. I'm a thin slice guy so it wasn't my favorite but the pizza was really good and the crust was very tasty. My daughter got the Pescatora and it was loaded with mussels, clams,salmon and the prawns were huge. The chocolate Tiramisu was meh but the Pistachio Tiramisu was the business. Don't let the location deter you. They just opened Sunday so there a few hiccups but overall I was glad we tried and will be going back again. read more

Amazing food at reasonable prices and great service. New Italian restaurant at Sunrise and Coloma. We had the Lasagna with béchamel sauce and classic Spaghetti Bolognese and Meatballs . Highly recommend, read more

The interior is nice! We came as a party of 7 on a Tuesday and were sat immediately. The menu has a good variety of salads, pastas, pizzas and appetizers. We ordered the calamari to start, which came out almost last. The table gets free focaccia included, and it was honestly the worst foccocia I've ever had. I don't think I can even call it fococcia, it was thick and dry and flavorless like a white bread. I ordered the chicken picatta, my husband got the seafood pasta, my son got the kids pizza and the in laws got the seafood risotto and lamb. The kids pizza was HUGE, but, they forgot his pizza and it didn't come out for almost half an hour and they ended up comping it. The chicken piccata was...ok. Very bland. I requested more sauce but there wasn't much flavor besides lemon. Same with the seafood pasta. The risotto was made with actual rice instead of risotto, which is odd. Overall, it was ok but I'm not sure I would come back. read more

We have been waiting for so long for Crazee For Pasta to open and they finally have. Let me just say - they were worth the wait. The food was very good, and the service was wonderful. Our host/server, Stephen, was very friendly and welcoming. Ate lunch there, and then ordered some pizzas to go. So wonderful to have a nice, new dine-in establishment in the neighborhood. I encourage everyone to try them out. Hopefully they are here for the long haul. Will definitely make this one of our regular dining spots and will recommend it to friends. read more

Sergio has hit a home run! Only open 10 days, and the service is very good, efficiently managed. The lasagna romana was well done, though with minimal sausage. The ravioli montanara was delicious. Both dishes were served in generous portions. The insalata di gorgonzola was very generous and had a very nice dressing. Glasses of wine were fairly priced; it would be nice to know which Cabernet we had, since the menu listed only "Cabernet". Tiramisu was creamy and not too big for a sweet finish. The interior is cleanly designed with simple tables and colorful napkins. The feeling is spacious. It probably will be a little loud at full occupancy but going for an early dinner may avoid that experience. Well done! We will return. I look forward to trying pappardelle, ziti, and rigatoni as listed on the windows. The app isn't working to give stars so I vote 5 stars for this first visit. Keep it up! read more
