Mamma Susanna's Ristorante Italiano — Restaurant in Sacramento

My wife was craving pasta so we decided to try this place out as I have picked up orders for delivery a few times and the reviews were great! Unfortunately, we were extremely disappointed with our meal.

We called and placed the order for a spaghetti with bolognese and meatballs and a carbonara. Said it would be about an hour, a bit of a wait but it’s Friday so no worries. Picked up the order and was pretty excited as it smelled great. We got it home and started eating and we were both honestly really upset and disappointed about what we received. My wife’s spaghetti and meatballs had almost no sauce on it and the meatballs were like little golf balls. They were extremely tough and you could barely cut into them. And the overall flavor of the dish was just lacking. Severely under seasoned and just bland overall. My carbonara was a bit better, definitely had a good amount of sauce! But again, flavor wise it was extremely bland and just lacking any real flavor to it. The best part of our meal was the side salads and that hurts me to say.

We were super excited to try out this place as we love a local place and we both appreciate great pasta. Unfortunately that’s just not what we experienced. Maybe it was just a bad day. But as of now this has been our experience and we are honestly pretty...

We were fortunate to find such an excellent restaurants. My wife and I found this place and were impressed with the quality of service, food, cleanliness, and price. You will feel right at home. It is a perfect place for an anniversary dinner, date, or any other celebration.

The service is fluid and without any hiccups. There are things they provide to avoid making you wait or ask for more of something.

For example, aside from the glasses of water provided, an extra glass bottle is placed on the table in case you finish your water. Thereby, eliminating the need to ask for more water.

Bread is fresh and the olive oil and balsamic vinegar are provided to you beforehand, which is another convenience.

Salads fresh and tasty.

I specifically ordered the 4 cheese ravioli (I cannot recall the exact name) was so flavorful and delightful that I wanted more of It!

My wife's pizza had a delightful crisp to the crust, but not burnt. The toppings were distributed well on the pizza.

Our desert was the perfect ending to our anniversary...

We read all the reviews and had to try it out hoping for a good family owned restaurant. For the price it seemed lacking. Kids got little personal pizza. Kids liked them but like another review said they are pricey for what you get. Had to ask for water. Seems more restaurants are that way now. Came in a wine bottle with little glasses. Bread was ok. Wife got wine asked for a second glass and never got it. We were given her first one for free. No one was ever asked for refills. Dinner was good but portion was small. Did get salads they were fresh. The main thing is we were one of maybe 3 tables being served and to run out of drinks and then ask and then be forgotten about is disappointing. And being Italian restaurant having country music was a bit off for my taste especially with prices. Was really hoping for something great but left hungry and thirsty. Food was good but not for the price and might have been fine with the price if we had been better taken care of. Especially when only 2 other...
