Best Casual Restaurants in Arden Fair

It was loud in there but it was a happy sound of laughter and family time. Not big portions but great food. The service could improve by not forgetting our butter and knives. Also, explaining the menu items with more detail. I’ve been here a few times and other servers explain everything that’s in a meal and dessert. Very helpful for new guests, which I brought.

There were 3 of us. We were seated in a booth and started our meal with the fish ceviche. Absolutely the best I’ve ever had and so very fresh. One of us had the salmon mango plate. One of us had the enchiladas Guanajuato and I had the enchiladas mole. Delicious! Each of us enjoyed every bite and then we shared a tres leches cake slice. What a nice way to end our meal. A very nice dining experience and I can’t wait to go back and try the strawberry salad that looked so good on the menu. Thank you Zócalo. Yummy.

Being recent SF Bay Area transplants (Roseville 2023) - we have had a challenge in finding a good / excellent Italian restaurant. We tried this place just recently (12/21/24). It's an Italian(!) restaurant vs a restaurant that makes Italian inspired dishes. An offshoot restaurant of the original Biba (Sact'o) - it has reinvented itself a bit with a new head chef from SF (James Brush) and pastry chef Penny Sheridan). Everything we had was prepared perfectly. Beet salad, lightly dressed. Gnocchi - light as pillows. Veal marsala - spot on. We passed on dessert, but did see some of them come out and they looked divine. Maybe next time ;-D. Service was attentive, relaxed and not overwhelming. We will certainly go back. Strongly recommend this place.

So fantastic!! Went for 4th Anniversary. Got to sit at a special table. Menu said Happy Anniversay at the top. Michael, the Manager, was very welcoming, and Damian, our Server, was on top of everything without being intrusive. Steak and scallops were AMAZING!!! Definitely will be back.

Paragary's has been a family tradition for special occasions (as well as casual dining) because of their excellence for decades. Tonight was my father's 96th birthday, the first birthday without the 'love of his life' (mom, married almost 70 years passed in June). We went to celebrate both his birth and the many treasured times we shared. Our server was as sweet as can be, knowledgeable, personable, and efficient. Our food was outstanding and dad's special birthday desert delicious. We will continue to share our special times at Paragary's.
