Best Italian Restaurants in Sparks

We celebrated a big birthday and it was perfect having it at CeCe’s. Everyone enjoyed their food and drink, and our server, John Michael, was exceptional. The celebration was a hit from start to finish—thank you, CeCe’s for helping to make our celebration extra special!

From start to finish, our dinner at Tagliata was exceptional. We began with the charcuterie board, letting our server surprise us with the meat selection, and they did not disappoint. The prosciutto was especially good—not too salty or fatty/stringy—while the darker cured meat was equally delicious. The Fontina and Pecorino paired beautifully with everything. For our second course, my boyfriend had the Caesar salad, which featured fresh anchovies in the dressing, adding a great depth of flavor. I had the Brussels sprout salad, which was fresh, well-balanced, and a great choice before the main course. For entrées, I ordered the Australian Wagyu steak special with bone marrow sauce. It was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and complemented by roasted veggies and mashed potatoes. My boyfriend had the rigatoni alla vodka, which he said was seasoned perfectly. To top it all off, we shared the tiramisu, and it was hands-down the best I’ve ever had—light, creamy, and full of rich espresso flavor. I didn’t get their names, but the service was attentive and knowledgeable, and the ambiance made for a perfect dining experience. Highly recommend

The calamari appetizer was tender like it should be and my parmesan chicken salad was delicious

Food is terrific!! Well done!! Wonderful service and good value. We’ve been here several times and never had a bad experience. Little thing..We noticed that the water glasses are now plastic rather than glass. The restaurant is quite loud; but all in all, Sammy’s remains one of our favorite places to dine

Excellent service from Jose!! Very pleasant dining experience and terrific ap and entrees.
