Della Santina's

My wife brought me here as a Valentine's Day surprise. This was our 1st time here. The restaurant is beautiful upon walking in. We are immediately seated at our reservation time. The food was delicious and the bottle of wine that we ordered was tasty. Our waiter was very attentive and a pleasure to meet. You can split the entrees if you ask, but they do charge a split plate fee.

Della Santina’s feels like coming home. The food was exceptional, as always, but what made the evening truly special was the warmth. The owner pulled up a chair and we had the loveliest chat about life in Marin and Sonoma - like old friends catching up. My waiter Oscar was thoughtful and spot-on with his wine and food recommendations. With family photos on the wall and kindness all around, it felt like I was a guest at their table, not just a customer. Really the most charming place!

My pesto sauce gnocchi was bland for my taste, but everyone else had great food! Wine selection was great. Unique food options (duck) in addition to standard pastas, salads and soups. Very authentic Italian. The bread basket bread is to die for. Homemade balsamic was good (more like a glaze, I should have bought some to take home!). Wonderful service! We had a very minor inconvenience early on and they went above and beyond, without our asking, to rectify. Beautiful patio! The prices felt very fair.

25 years ago had the best gnocchi that I have ever had. Just had it AGAIN! Della Santina is unbelievable. Whether you’re in Napa or Sonoma, YOU HAVE TO VISIT THIS QUAINT RESTAURANT. This is a Italian gem in the heart of Sonoma. Every detail from environment, to service, to perfectly served dishes….including a table side visit with the owner who is so genuinely thankful that you cane to visit. It is like eating in your best friend home. Come on down driveway and enter thru the side door. You won’t want to leave.

Delicious food, beautiful atmosphere, lovely people! The owner stopped by our table several times to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. The balsamic vinegar is to die for, and I bought some to take home with me. On a wine tour, so had limited time to spend here, but will definitely return. Highly recommend!

Best vongole pasta I’ve had in a while that came with perfectly al dente pasta. The bread was lovely as well as the balsamic vinegar that is home made by Della Santina. We sat in the back, a secret garden space that was comfortable and warm in the cold weather. Met the owner briefly and he was welcoming and made sure to chat with all the guests present. Thank you for a lovely experience!

Solid 4/5 Best gnocchi I have tasted. Highly recommended. Amazingly light and fluffy texture with melt in your mouth potatoes. Great tomato based sauce The warm bread + fresh tasting olive oil + vinegar. delicious combination. The branzino was just ok. The fish was a little overcooked leading to it tasting dry and tough. Heirloom tomato salad was average. Tiramisu was not bad. They had sweetened/preserved cherry on top. The heavy cherry sauce was very strong and detracted from the dessert.
