I was craving the eggplant parmigiana and was told the eggplants had been delivered to the owners home and therefore, was not available. Funny! So we settled on the shrimp and chicken dish - apparently a fan favorite- and chopped salad. Both delicious with ample portions for two to split. Interesting note - they offer cauliflower crust pizza- a must try next time. Enjoy!

I've been to Italy--including Sicily--more times than most people have left California, and my…read morepartner even holds an Italian birth certificate. With that context, we don't take Italian food lightly. That's exactly why Ippolito's Trattoria stands out. Nick, the owner, is there seven days a week. Whether he's running the kitchen like a true master or walking the dining room checking in with guests, his presence is constant. His wife is often by his side, and together they've built something that feels less like a restaurant and more like a family. The staff reflects that--welcoming, attentive, and genuinely warm. Now, the food. The chicken parmigiana is massive--easily two meals--and executed perfectly. The chicken is tender, well-seasoned, and balanced. We usually start with calamari or a shared salad, both consistently excellent. I'm especially particular about carbonara, and this is the only place in Sacramento that truly gets it right. No shortcuts. No cream. No smoked bacon. They respect the tradition--using proper ingredients like guanciale or pancetta and incorporating the egg the way it's meant to be. It's easily the best carbonara I've had in years. The arancini are another highlight. If you've ever made them at home, you know the effort involved--this is the real deal. Crispy outside, rich and flavorful inside, and absolutely authentic. The bread is baked fresh daily by Nick, and it shows. The pasta is artisan-quality, also made fresh, and sourced from a trusted local partner. Every detail reflects care and intention. Dessert is not an afterthought here. The tiramisu--made in-house--is flawless. And the cannoli? Outstanding. The shells have the perfect crunch, and the fillings are rich without being overpowering. Even the pizzelle cookies are done right. It's no surprise they've earned recognition, including: Best Italian Restaurant in Sacramento Best Restaurant Overall in Sacramento Beyond the food, Nick is active in the community and gives back, which only adds to the experience. We've enjoyed this place so much that we've chosen them to cater my 60th birthday for 20 very discerning Italian family members--many of whom we've already brought here, all with the same glowing reactions. If there's any criticism to address, it's usually from people saying the food isn't salty or herb-heavy enough. That misses the point. This is balanced, authentic cooking--where ingredients shine without being masked. I've been to Papa Gianni's in Cameron Park dozens of times over the years, and it's a great spot. But when it comes to the Sacramento region, Ippolito's Trattoria is my go-to, without question.

Just before noon we were seated right away but it took several minutes before our server actually showed up. I noticed the ambiance was dark and hasn't changed AT ALL over the past 10-15 years. It is showing (and smelling) it's age and really needs a freshening up to a clean and modern take on Italian decor. Outdoor seating is available and the restaurant is in a well maintained shopping area near a grocery store. We loved seeing the fresh made bread coming out of the oven which is served with an oil/vinegar dip; however, the bread was doughy in the middle and became inedible. The Fettucini Alfredo for $25 was meh. The pasta was gummy and the sauce needed A LOT of salt, pepper and extra parmesan to amp up the flavor. The Penne with sausage was good with full flavored red sauce. And the pizza and other dishes that went by looked delicious but I based on this trip I am not sure we'll be back.

We were about to babysit and wanted to make sure our niece and nephew had fresh quality pizza! The ambiance was clean although there seemed to be a stockpile of soda on one side. Overall, the pizza came hot and fresh. Just 1 critique: the dough tasted more chewy but not as chewy as little Caesar's. We will back in the future!

Ambiance: The outdoor seating is plentiful and tastefully decorated with plants and market lights with a surprising feel of privacy. There is a small but ample indoor bar area and the tables are clean, comfortable and private. Food: There is a nice variety of food options as well as a special that our server thoroughly explained to us. We started with an appetizer of Brussels sprouts and a shared beet and apple salad. We settled on the salmon and penne vodka pasta for our entrees. The Brussel sprouts were so good with small strips of bacon and a nice aioli to dip them in. The Salad was complex and excellent and our entrees were absolutely outstanding. Salmon was cooked to perfection and the pasta was delicious with the perfect tenderness (I don't care for overcooked pasta). The sausages in the pasta were great and the sauce was rich. After dinner we both had coffee and tried their butterscotch pudding and a lemon cheesecake. OMG were they amazing!! I highly recommend either of them. Service: We had an amazing server, Kim, who was thorough, prompt and fun. Our salad, entree, and dessert were timed well and we never had to wait too long. We brought our own wine and she kept our glasses full. For as nice a place that it is and as good as the food is, the prices seem reasonable. I highly recommend trying it out sometime.

The sauce seeps into the bread creating a flavor bomb by the time you finish your pasta. My favorite is the campanelle pasta with meat sauce. On days when I want something lighter, I get the half sandwich and soup combo. The minestrone is tasty and comforting. I recommend the sausage and peppers sandwich. It could get a bit messy, but the flavor makes up for amount of napkins used. The gelato case always catches my eye, but I never seem to talk myself into getting it after my lunch. I think the flavors rotate, so I recommend taking a look whenever you're visiting.

You basically approach the left side of the counter and tell them your order, then you walk over to the right to pay. If you're dining in then they will give you a number to place on the table. As we sat down to wait for our food, there were more customers that walked in to dine in. I noticed they get a lot of mobile orders. I got the Pasta Bread Bowl and for my pasta choice I got Fettuccine with Aglio E Olio & Alfredo mix with added Pan Seared Chicken and Mozzarella. I gotta say the two sauces combined were really delicious! I recommend doing that if you're a white sauce lover. I felt like there wasn't that much sauce in the bread bowl so next time I would ask for extra sauce. I could go without the chicken next time. Overall 10/10, the breast is really good as well! The restaurant was clean, it isn't a loud atmosphere, a great place to catch up with a friend or to have a meeting. Customer service was good. I will be back.

The manager's approach to problem-solving and their apparent annoyance toward consumers inquiring…read moreabout various product flavors was handled poorly and was unprofessional for someone in a management position. If you cannot resolve a problem, or if it is an ongoing issue, you should escalate it to someone with the expertise and authority to address consumer concerns. Do not wait for customers to approach you after the situation has already deteriorated, especially when a flippant response has shifted the tone of the interaction. Another option would have been to table the conversation for a later time or on a different day until more information was available. What began as a discussion about a product concern quickly became focused on a employee instead of the issue itself. The manager appeared to become frustrated, stated to understand the main concern, yet responded with an unnecessarily intense tone and level of defensiveness. There was considerable deflection, repetition, and what felt like half-truths rather than a sincere effort to work toward a mutual solution. The manager should remember that they represent the Root of Happiness brand. We have been patronizing Root of Happiness for at least 10 years, long before the owners expanded to the Roseville, Midtown, and Rocklin locations. Additionally, over the last few weeks, the Justin's Peanut Butter Cups have seemed unusually dry. It may be the result of a bad batch from the vendor or the effects of extreme weather conditions impacting the product's quality.

This is where it went downhill. Waited approximately 15 minutes, then saw the manager-and stared at her, so she came over. We hadn't been approached by anyone or offered water or a "I'll get right to you" before this. She came over and we ordered our drinks and meal right then. She also brought our salads and bread out, and we started eating. Someone else brought our entrees. I assume it was our server who then stopped by and offered straws (first time seeing him)?!! After a while we asked a bus boy for more bread since no one else stopped by. He promptly got some and we tipped him since he dropped everything to get it for us!! Manager came back and asked if everything was ok, did we need Sean or something like that ? It was weird, like she knew the bus boy had to deliver bread. I wasn't sure who Sean was, the waiter or bus boy???! When we were done, I'm assuming our waiter stopped by and then we asked for our ice cream and to go containers. He brought that, our to-go boxes and the check. I had to pull up my birthday reward, and was having trouble-so he said he would be back. I'm shocked at the service that we received. I'm glad I had a birthday reward because if I didn't and had to pay for the whole check with this service I'd be.... mad to say the very least. I had to let my husband do most of the talking because I was so upset, otherwise I would've really let them have it!! I won't be back. Too many other places to go for our MOMEY without being ignored.
