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. With its palace-like, quarried stone exterior and wrought iron gate, this attractive trattoria offers an escape from the activity of downtown Sonoma.

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:
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:
NAPA. Warm, mustard-yellow walls, an abundance of exposed brickwork, and a two-sided fireplace make Zinsvalley an appealing destination. The ever-evolving menu utilizes seasonal flavors and ingredients to keep patrons pleased. Try a grilled Kobe bavette with Yukon Gold mashers and salsa verde, or coconut yellow curry with baby bok choy and yams. Most selections from the thoughtful wine list can be served by the bottle and half-bottle, and servers can skillfully suggest wine pairings. When it's warm, head for the lovely creekside patio. |
