Cacio is a charming neighborhood-style Italian bistro not at all unlike what one would find off the beaten path down some path and along the beach. This hidden gem is unpretentious yet the service, fare, and ambience are definitely Michelin-star level. We dined there this evening and enjoyed the charcuterie plate accompanied by a perfectly paired champagne. The three of us all had the beef Stroganoff (pictured) for our entree. Dare I say it was transcendant! The generous portion of New York steak, perfect fettucine, and an absolutely Heavenly sauce was world class. Service from Katie and Jared was perfectly timed and skillfully executed with precision and grace. Bottom line: skip Il Fornaio and French Laundry. Go to Cacio!

The staff were all very friendly and the food came out delicious and quick. While everything was exceptional the star of the show for me was the chocolate ganache. I never thought to pair that with olive oil and toasted bread. Fantastic flavors.

Food is amazing and great service. Our shared salad was split without us asking. The best use of truffles in butter I’ve ever had. It is such an easy ingredient to overdue and they nailed it. I’d give them extra stars if I could.

Got counter seating last minute yesterday when they opened, easy online reservation. They even added Happy Birthday to the printed menu for us, very nice touch especially for us making a last minute reservation. Every app and main was amazing. Will be back to try the others, every dish I saw at other tables looked better than the next. Service is great and they cap you at 1:45 but that doesn’t bother me, they’re a small spot but it’s amazing all around. Oh and the truffle butter with the bread, divine!

Hella good my wife and I go all the time. The food reminds me of sf north beach. We always get the pasta and the bread. The lady working the front reminds me of Carmela Soprano
This place is a gem. We were a little put off by all the rules, but once we realized how small of a place this is, we understood. Service was delightful at this husband and wife run eatery.
We sat at the counter and ordered the special, which was a flank steak with chimichurri, mashed potatoes and arugula salad and we ordered the Cacio e pepe. Both dishes were good, but the steak plate was spectacular! We will definitely be back, it’s such a cute place and we had a wonderful experience.

I will not be returning here.
The food is above average, but we had to wait 1h 10m to get pasta. Good but, not worth the slow service at all.

Delicious Italian food prepared to perfection. This was our second visit, and we will definitely be back in the future. Cacio's wine list is well curated. I was happy that a good non-alcoholic beer was available. Reservations are basically required, but are easy to make through Cacio's website. With only one day in advance, we were able to snag a table on the patio. While it's shaded, the outside temperature of 99F that day made dining a bit uncomfortable.
Casio is our new go to place for delicious Italian!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING IN EVERY WAY! My husband and I just moved to Sacramento and were looking for a great local spot, and we hit the jackpot with Cacio. Dining here felt like being welcomed into a friend’s home. The atmosphere is cozy and unpretentious, with a warmth you don’t often find in restaurants this good.
Katie is an exceptional host. She is warm, friendly, and generous with her time. She chatted with us and gave fantastic local recommendations, which we truly appreciated as newcomers.
Her husband Jonathan is a phenomenal chef. The menu is beautifully curated, and every dish we tried was unforgettable. We had the Ahi Tuna (a daily special), Fregola e Gamberi, the Strawberry Mascarpone Tart (a daily special), and the Housemade Chocolate Ganache. The Housemade Chocolate Ganache seems so simple (grilled bread, chocolate ganache, virgin olive oil, and sea salt) but perfect in every way. Surprisingly, this has became my dream dessert.
Cacio is a gem, and we feel lucky to have found it. We’ll absolutely be back (many times)!

Best Italian food in Sac! If you haven't been you must go.
The set up is great you feel like you’re in a much larger place, friendly service seriously (makes you feel like yeah I’m coming back). The food was super fresh, homemade dressing on my arugula salad was special. The BLT was perfectly juicy, fresh and crunchy…. Yum.
They have a cute bar Great atmosphere, clean and organized, friendly service, fantastic chow.
