Earlier this year, we published a popular happy-hour guide proposing evening drink and food specials as entry points into Sacramento's highest-end restaurants.
This project was my personal gateway to Biba Ristorante Italiano. Sampling this midtown Sacramento fine-dining staple's wonderful happy-hour dishes prompted several subsequent visits and an escalation from crunchy yet tender $8 calamari to an $18.50 dinner serving of spaghetti carbonara that holds just enough black pepper to trick the palate into thinking some of its egg yolk, cheese and smoked pancetta richness doesn't count.
