Cafe Vinoteca - Sacramento

We took a visitor here for dinner recently We'd not been since it changed ownership but had liked it in the past.

This is now my new favorite Italian restaurant in SacramentoI can't believe it took me so long to try them out.

I came in for wine and dinner with one of my very old friendsWe sat at that bar and immediately graced with a very quick witted young bartender.

The atmosphere is really nice. An Italian café, cozy and well furnished. The service is also good, no complaints there. The food was so special for the price. Caesar Salat was tasteless, as simply cut Romain salad on a plate. We asked if they forgot the dress?? All four of our salads? Then came the main meal, very small portions, very high prices. Costco's lasagna is better. We paid our $160 bill for the 4 of us and left hungry. Two days later the same group went to Buca de Pepo, portion size was double, taste was twice as good, bill was half. We've stuffed:
