Ella in Sacramento



I now have a favorite restaurant in Sacramento: Ella Dining Room and Bar. The food is outstanding and the interior design is very nice as well. What's fun about the food at Ella is that the portions are small (or should I say normal) so you can choose a couple of different plates to share as we did. All dishes were delicious, fresh, and cooked to perfection, but probably the BEST one was the ravioli dish. The ravioli were chock-full of mushrooms and the pasta had the perfect consistency. Mmmmm.

Following are the menu items we chose with their names as written on the menu. I like how Ella doesn't come up with fancy names for their dishes that mean nothing. They keep it simple by describing the dish.

Roasted Baby Beets, Pistachio, Watercress and Olio Nuevo Olive Oil



Raviolis of Mushrooms and Fresh Goat Cheese with Leeks and Black Truffle Butter



Gnocchi, Broccolini, Parma Prosciutto, Organic Cream and Parmesan



Grouper, Eggplant Caponata and Olive Tapenade



Cheesecake with Graham Cracker Crust and Market Berry Compote



Chocolate Brownie with Toasted Almonds, Fudge Sauce and Chocolate Chip Cocoa Nib Ice Cream


Next time I'm in Sacramento I will definitely have to go to Ella's again. It is at the top of my list.
