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. |

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. |

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. |

Description:
NAPA. Aspiring to be a friendly neighborhood gathering spot, Uva lures folks with affordable, hearty Italian fare, live jazz on Saturday nights, and a hip bar scene. Framed photographs clutter dining room walls, creating a casual, comfortable ambiance. Food offerings include pizza and pasta, as well as beef, poultry, and seafood. Many entrees are available in half-portions, but you'll be compelled to eat all of ones like cannelloni ai gamberi – pasta stuffed with shrimp and scallops and baked in a tomato cream sauce. |

Description:
NAPA. Relaxed, casual, and priced to please your wallet, Tuscany is quickly becoming a Napa standard. Known for great seafood, the spot also serves unfussy eats like oven-baked subs. Herbed flatbread and seasonal crostini appetizers are hot and tasty – perfect precursors to braised Sonoma duck, sliced veal roast, and vegetarian dishes. Ask for a table near the open kitchen so you can see all the action going on over the place's three cooking fires. |

Description:
ST. HELENA. Residents of sleepy St. Helena count themselves blessed to have this wildly original cathedral to Tuscan-inspired cuisine right at their doorstep. A lush garden surrounds the restaurant, and broad double doors lead to an impressive interior of exposed brick and charming seating areas flanked by fully stocked wine racks. Competition for al fresco dining reaches frenzied levels during warmer months, and scores of hopeless romantics clamor to secure a table on the seductive courtyard patio. Reservations are a must. |

Description:
SANTA ROSA. Driving along, you could easily pass by this red barn without giving it a second glance. That would be a mistake. Simply decorated with copper-topped tables, a cornucopia of mirrors, and a banquette lining one wall, the cozy eatery boasts its own brand of style and panache. Known for creative, Italian-influenced fare, zazu's talented kitchen produces culinary art, evidenced by fennel-crusted tombo tuna with chanterelles, Sonoma duck with grilled peaches and star anise, and strozzapreti noodles with soffrito, asparagus, and fresh parmesan. |

Description:
GEYSERVILLE. In a sleepy town like Geyserville, expectations about finding an elegant Italian eatery may not run high; however, this addition to the local scene goes a long way toward raising spirits. Indeed, owners took the circa 1902 building and turned it into one of the town's cozier settings, complete with dark wood furniture, leaded glass windows, a fireplace, and an enchanting patio. Santi specializes in old-fashioned Italian-American standards like homemade spaghetti in Calabrese-style red sauce and asparagus-and-sausage-stuffed lasagna with mushrooms. Reservations are strongly suggested. |
