Glen Ellen

Why go

One of the best values in fine-casual dining in the entire county.

Michelin Bib GourmandJames Beard Semifinalist

From a visit

We often sit outside or in the annex. The 8-seat chef's counter at the wood oven is on my list. I haven't been since the change of management, so I'm due for another visit. We love also going for neighborhood nights, which includes a great value prix fixe. The tomato cream pizza is outstanding.

What it's known for

One of the county's most beloved restaurants, holding a Michelin Bib Gourmand every year since opening and a 2025 James Beard Award semifinalist. Just 24 seats plus a coveted 8-seat chef's counter facing the wood oven. Wood-fired pizzas, roasted vegetables, and proteins that taste deeply of fire and the season. In winter it has a great prix-fixe menu for its locals' night.
