Sebastopol
For BBQ lovers, you need to give this place a try, and as you all know, we love BBQ around here.
Healdsburg
Really great and consistent spot that is always a fun visit.
Tapas!
Geyserville
A Geyserville institution since 1936, still family-run, still making the ravioli by hand.
Cotati
The Galvan brothers' food-truck quesabirria, finally with a beer garden to eat it in.
So many reasons. The food is outstanding. The vibe is perfect and easy always.
Santa Rosa
Greek and Mediterranean done with intent, octopus to lamb shank, hiding in a Santa Rosa shopping center.
Noted for being above the typical Thai in Sonoma County. My neighbor raves about it. My standard is Kin Khao in SF and I hope this place comes close.
City of Sonoma
The garden-patio restaurant at MacArthur Place.
Occidental
A rite of passage if you want to feel like a Sonoma native rather than a culinary destination.
Windsor
A four-time national pizza champion's New York-style pies, in a Windsor strip mall.
Valley Ford
Super-insider spot with a devoted following precisely because it's in the middle of nowhere and it’s comfort food.
Forestville
For wood‑fired, locally sourced pizzas in a casual garden setting that has earned top‑50 Bay Area recognition from Yelp Elites.
The plaza standby for French country cooking, with seats outside.
