Crema's Take
“Joe Panini is a beloved Italian spot where locals linger over handcrafted cocktails like their legendary Old Fashioned while digging into generous plates of homemade pasta that has earned serious praise from Sacramento's Italian families. The warm, unpretentious atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between a casual neighborhood hangout and a place special enough for a proper meal, with thoughtful touches like complimentary desserts and attentive service that make you feel genuinely welcomed. Whether you're settling in for a leisurely breakfast, meeting friends over coffee, or treating yourself to their standout lasagna and chicken parm, this is the kind of place that rewards you for taking your time.”

I just spent my time and hard earned money on a plate of ravioli's absolutely covered in parsley, gee yum. It was served on top of my salad, which was nothing special no crouton, no cherry tomatoe, no fresh cracked pepper offered, no dressing choice either just a thick italian on greens. Best part, nobody even checked back to see if my $32 raviolis were good. They were not thanks to a ton of parsely. I did not even get a dinner fork. Sadly, the bartender had to use his own employee discount to compensate me for being out over $40 for parsley laden cheese raviolis. The owners need to train the cooks not to ruin meals with excessive parsley. I will not return. Btw, the lobster ravioli's taste like tunafish. I tried those once. Two strikes, I'm out. Ambiance is great though.
This place is one of the best Italian restaurants in the Sac area hands down. The lasagna is amazing & a great portion for the price. The have the best old fashioned in all of Sac! The service is top notch & ambiance is perfect. Make sure to make reservations, many people love this place like I do so it's gets packed quickly. Come here, you will not regret it!
Our family loves this restaurant, it is honestly the best pasta in Sacramento. Our Italian family is thankful that we have a place to go out to eat that serves fantastic Italian food. We also love the pesto sauce and the chicken and eggplant parmesan. The staff is courteous, professional and they treat you like family. Thanks Sampino's for being so welcoming and have wonderful Italian food!
Good food and fantastic drinks especially the Old Fashioned🔥 chickn parm on point. Great service.
Excellent appetizers and atmosphere! Had a garden salad and a fettuccine alfredo w/ chicken. They also gave us a complimentary orange sherbet ice cream before we left! Would absolutely recommend!!
