Reviews:

Rubino's Ristorante has a rating of 4.3 out of 389 reviews on Google, with many diners praising the ambiance, friendly staff, and generous portions. However, there are some mixed reviews as well.

One reviewer wrote, "Rubino's restaurant is a great Italian fresco dine in gem within Sacramento area & nearby freeway accessibility where locals there take time to drive and visit. Very fun fare generous on servings of sourdough breads with dipping sauce of marinated herbs balsamic with olive oil. Enjoyed appetizer soft calamari but crunchy crumbs. We ordered grilled salmon & chicken breasts main dish with amazing full cup servings of risotto rice with options between soups & fresh veggies on the sides. Impressive quality from scratch white clam chowder and not salty. A must place to visit & return visit with satisfying ambiance, quality foods, and receptive service."

Another reviewer had a different experience, saying, "We have checked out a lot of ‘Italian’ places in the area and are trying to find the best one. We had high hopes for Rubinos but the food was a bit of a miss. The veal came out tough which is the opposite of what veal should be. The whole point is that you want tender meat. It’s almost like it wasn’t veal at all. The minestrone was unlike any we have ever had. Minestrone is a vegetable soup, that tends to be lighter but what we were served was thick like pea soup."

Overall, Rubino's Ristorante seems like a good spot for a romantic dinner or a family celebration. However, it may not be the best choice for those looking for a quick, casual meal. With its cozy ambiance and old-school Italian dishes, Rubino's Ristorante is a classic fine dining experience that's worth checking out if you're in the Rocklin area.
