I would say I am a fan of Sbicca but I think the quality isn't what it used to be. Dinner with a friend in from town. The starters were good as we had the calamari. I ordered the short rib and it was luke warm and the portion was very small. It wasnt bad but it wasn't anything to rave about. My friend ordered the steak salad and said it was good but not great. I also noticed the size of the pour for the wine was small. I think it is becoming harder for restuarants to operate with the rising cost in California. I am not sure what Sbicca needs to do but hopefully they put the quality back into the food.

Disappointing experience at Sbicca.. My friend and I both ordered the chicken Parmesan, which I typically love and frankly, it’s what I always order when we go to Sbicca. However, it was the first time that I found myself very disappointed in the dish. The chicken was overdone and very dry and lacked much flavor. The fettuccine was nearly cold when it came to our table. I’m guessing that our dinners must’ve been plated And sat for a while before our server brought them out because both my friend and I experienced the same thing as to the temperature of the fettuccine. The rest of our party enjoyed their entrées, so I’m sure that we will return to Sbicca for yet another try sometime. I’m just not so sure that I will order that chicken Parm again.

Service was fantastic. The Host was attentive and knew just what to recommend. The food was only okay, not great, but the ambiance and service made it an above par restaurant with a special feel.

Sadly, this restaurant has been losing its charm over the last 2 years. Servers need more experience but are obviously well-intentioned.

The hamburger was really good. My grandson ate almost two morsels of chicken tenders. The fish and chips were really good also. The waiters took very good care of us.

Fabulious food and service but their prices were way over the top. The place is very small and we did not see any indoor seating. Parking is a nightmare. I don't feel the place will ever be a special for me. We were given a menue that stated was for 4-6pm (we were there at 5:15) order in within 10 minutes but we were charged the past 6pm prices.
