Description:
SONOMA. Pleasant, sunny, and relaxed, this local favorite makes its home in the historic Sonoma Hotel. Lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch feature an appealing selection of traditional French dishes with a few Californian touches in the mix. The namesake ingredient appears in a housemade fig cake that accompanies the cheese plate, as well as in the fresh fig and arugula salad, accented with pecans and pancetta. A savory croque monsieur, grilled polenta, and salmon nicoise are other choices, but save room for dessert – delights like pumpkin cheesecake and fig crisp await. |

Description:
SONOMA. Portuguese delights await at chef-owner Manuel Azevedo's charming casa, located just north of downtown Sonoma. The restaurant, named in honor of Azevedo's mother, captures the spirit of his native Sao Jorge (in the Azores). Vibrant folk music plays in the background, colorful artwork adorns the walls, and a fascinating wine list includes a handful of Portuguese labels. Featured main dishes include Camarao a Mozambique (piri-piri-seasoned prawns served in tomato-peanut sauce) and Feijoada Completa (stewed beef, pork, sausage, and black beans with rice and collards). |

Description:
SONOMA. Pleasant and unpretentious, this tiny Sonoma cafe has an artsy feel, and its intimate, white linen-draped tables are surrounded by contemporary art. A split-level dining area, subtle lighting, smooth hardwood floors, and a beamed ceiling provide added charm. The signature cuisine is Californian with Mediterranean flair as exhibited in dishes like seared black pepper-lavender filet mignon with gorgonzola-potato gratin or red wine-braised pork shank with white beans. Satisfying wine list, too. |

Description:
SONOMA. With its palace-like, quarried stone exterior and wrought iron gate, this attractive trattoria offers an escape from the activity of downtown Sonoma. While the Tuscan-inspired patio offers an idyllic setting for a romantic dinner or peaceful lunch, the intimate main dining area provides a cozy backdrop when the weather turns chilly. Aside from a stalwart wine list, Della Santina's features impeccable Northern Italian fare – highlights include rotisserie rabbit, fresh seasonal vegetables, and unforgettable, Old Country-style gnocchi. Reservations recommended. |

Glen Ellen Inn Restaurant |

Description:
GLEN ELLEN. Quaint and cottage-like, Glen Ellen Inn is a veritable home away from home for wise diners who stop by for an evening of fine food and wine. During warmer months, garden dining is available, and a covered, heated patio is available year-round. The menu emphasizes local products, and main dishes sparkle – cabernet-braised lamb shank with roast vegetables, Chilean sea bass with spinach and mushroom puff pastry, and grilled pork medallions with feta and capers. Expectedly, the wine list is equally impressive. Reservations are a must. |

Description:
KENWOOD. The secret is out about the restaurant in this quaint cottage, which serves some of the Sonoma Valley's tastiest Northern Italian fare. Although the understated decor hardly does justice to rotisserie chicken, artful risottos, and homemade osso bucco, Citti has managed to build quite a loyal following. People wanting to add an extra element of romance to the experience may opt for a table on the charming patio. Reservations are suggested. |

Description:
YOUNTVILLE. It's not difficult to see why étoile is consistently named one of the area's most romantic restaurants. A spectacular view, waterside dining on the terrace, and a tastefully appointed dining room add ambiance to exquisite seasonal fare and expertly paired wines. Although entrees may be ordered a la carte, the seven-course tasting menu is a popular option. The menu changes to accommodate what's fresh, but past items have included striped bass with foie gras risotto and huckleberries, and veal tenderloin with fava bean and hazelnuts. A wine is paired with each course. Perfect for a special night out. |

NAPA. Sister to San Francisco's Scala Bistro, Don Giovonni earns high marks for a laid-back, unpretentious atmosphere where the emphasis is on good food and wine rather than flashy decor. Delightful dishes include braised lamb shanks with Tuscan bean ragout, Sonoma duck bolognese with provolone cheese and sage, and handmade pizzas prepared in a wood-burning oven. Patio dining is available. Reservations are strongly recommended. |
