We made reservations for a table of 4 on valentines. Unfortunately, the couple we were going with cancelled last minute. The restaurant was understanding, which I appreciated. For dinner I tried the Bolognese pasta, gnocchi, and Caesar salad, and all three dishes were absolutely delicious. The pasta was rich and flavorful, probably the best I've had in a long time, the gnocchi was perfectly soft and pillowy, and the Caesar salad was fresh with just the right amount of dressing. Everything tasted well-prepared and high quality. I also tried the Italian Lemon drop which was pretty tasty. Now the service, it was just okay. The server wasn't particularly attentive or engaging, which took away from the overall experience a bit. That said, the food was definitely the highlight, and I'd come back for that alone. read more

Ca Bianca in Santa Rosa is a mansion converted to an Italian restaurant. Definitely one of the prettiest places to enjoy a meal. You can experience several dining settings here. Inside, there are dark and intimate dining areas. Outside, a huge patio that can host a festive wedding party or other big celebration. The three of us ate in a more casual setting - brightly lit room with lots of wall art and bird cages. The food is excellent. Although they don't have a kid's menu, the kitchen can easily whip up a custom order. Our 4yo loves penne with lemon butter sauce with a side of chicken. We ordered: * Smoking Banana Cocktail: A sweet-tart martini with some fruitiness. * Alaskan Halibut Piccata: Fish was moist and side veggies were seasoned well. I opted for penne pasta instead of potatoes. * Linguine Clam Vongole: Wife enjoyed this dish, though she found one un-opened clam. * Polenta: A bit too much marinara sauce here, but otherwise good dish. Save some of that sauce with the free bread. * Panna Cotta: Super smooth and tart. Our 4yo bormally favors cheesecake but he also enjoyed this classic Italian dessert. A fun, interesting place to dine and great for a date or a big get together. It feels like dining in someone's home and not a typical restaurant. read more

We came for a wedding Saturday night on 10/04/25. I was one of the coordinators and arrived before the party. Samantha and the crew of servers were 10/10. They were all extremely accommodating with great attitudes throughout the entire evening. We saw how busy the entire restaurant was and yet they maintained professional and proactive service despite high demands. Their energy and hospitality was highly recognized. From setting the tables, florals, and name cards all the way to assisting with clean up and loading up our shuttle. read more

Food, service, ambiance all top notch. What a lovely experience! Old Victorian house makes a cozy lunch spot with plenty of room on veranda. Prawns and carpaccio were fantastic! read more

Last night, a friend and I dined at Ci Bianca and found the experience disappointing. Although I've visited several times before and previously enjoyed both great food and attentive service, this visit fell short. The service was poorly timed--the cocktails arrived after we'd already started our salads, and our main courses were brought out while I was still eating my salad, making us feel hurried. The drinks themselves were unimpressive; my rye Old Fashioned didn't match the exceptional quality of my last visit, and my friend thought their lemon drop was just average. On a positive note, the Caesar salads were tasty, and the lobster ravioli was excellent. Given the mixed experience, I'm uncertain about returning. read more

Wow! I hadn't been here for a while, and now I am sorry. Either I had forgotten how good it is, or they have upped their game since I was there last. Either way - Ca Bianca is doing a great job! We crashed them at 7:30 on a Saturday night, and got seated in the bar - which was awesome. It was cozy and we got to chat with the staff about the food. The front patios have grown up a lot since I was there last - and those spots looked fantastic! Service was friendly, respinsive, and on point. We had a range of dishes, starting with a tuna carpaccio, a beet salad, and burrata. All of them were excellent and filled with lots of tasty additions. The list of light soda-based cocktails on the menu were also great! I had the Pollo for dinner, and my partner had the butternut squash ravioli. Both were excellent - but the Pollo was truly special! Chicken breast with spinach, mozzarella, and pancetta, wrapped in a pastry crust and placed in a bed of a creamy balsamic sauce was incredible. A perfect balance of tang, sweetness, and balanced flavoring. Think Italian cordon Bleu. It is my new favorite! We finished with dessert cocktails and the panna cotta - which was a perfect finale. We loved the whole experience start to finish! Thank you Ca Bianca! read more

Food was really good and nothing to knock. We had great food, bread was yummy, and dessert were great as well. The only thing I am concerned is the pricing of the food. Luckily I was not the one paying, but the taste of the food did not match the price of it. Paying nearly $30 dollars for pasta is a bit out of price. If you would like a lovely cute dinner and do not mind paying for pricey food this is an amazing place to go. We ordered take out, so I did not come across any service. Also, there is a lot of seafood options and I am not too big on seafood, so probably would not try other stuff. Eggplant parm and gnocchi was decent as well. read more

Ca'Bianca - Bolognese - Italian Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

This place is flat out beautiful AND the food is on point. It's possible to sit inside this old converted house, out on the patio, or in their garden. The service is excellent as well. They really know their food and wine pairings. I enjoy the garden best of all. It's like being on vacation with all the flowers and the sound of the fountain. In terms of food, I have had the linguine with clams and the bolognese as main courses. The tiramisu here is also delicious. I have been here with family celebrations and it's always a wonderful experience. Can't wait to go back! read more

Was treated to dinner here to celebrate with a friend so no photos. This is a hidden gem in Santa Rosa. After living here for 11 years I had never heard about it. From the on site parking you take a flower covered path to the front of an old Victorian house. There is indoor seating, covered patio and garden seating. I definitely recommend sitting outside because the atmosphere and foliage is so special. Recommend reservations and a light jacket since the wind often picks up in the early evening. Friendly greeting, we sat on the patio and just relaxed, the service was friendly and attentive. Our waiter explained the specials and answered our other questions. He was also knowledgeable about the wine list. We had a delicious Caesar Salad and the Ca'Bianca salad. Everything in the salads was very fresh and the dressings complimented but didn't overwhelm the tastes. The clam Vongole is a pasta dish loaded with plump clams and a delicious sauce, the Carbonara was good but the abundance of the pancetta made it too salty. We enjoyed the Prosecco and a fruity Chardonnay. No room for dessert. This came very close to feeling like being in Italy and I look forward to coming back. read more

This might be the restaurant of my dreams! I have never been to a restaurant more gorgeous than this one. My partner and I made reservations here for our anniversary, and once we arrived we were seated immediately. We had requested a balcony table and were seated on the balcony overlooking the beautiful front gardens, and they even turned on fairy lights after sunset! All of the food and drinks we ordered were delicious, but we will particularly be coming back for the gnocchi appetizer! read more

My husband and I dined at Ca'Bianca for our anniversary and were so happy to find dishes that reminded of our time in Italy. The gnocchi and tomato sauce were simple, but flavorful, with the gnocchi having the perfect texture. The lobster ravioli special that night was wonderfully prepared and the delicate sauce allowed the lobster flavor to stand out. My husband was happy to have both sauces for scarpetta. Our server, Ale, was lovely and attentive the whole evening, and allowed to us to take our time and savor the whole meal. Can't wait to return! read more

Wonderful italian. Best in santa rosa by far. Elias was a fantastic server. Professional and attentive. I don't even like a lot of Italian food in norcal since it never seems to be the quality I am used to. This has changed my mind . The atmosphere is also delightful! read more

The ambiance is beautiful, the restaurant is in a house with tables out in the patio and background. The greenery and fountains were picturesque. The food was good but could've had a little bit more flavor. The sauce felt a little bland but they had good portions. The service was good. Our waiter was knowledgeable of the specials and explained each dish. Bus service was great, asking if we needed more water or bread. read more

Step back in time with a turn of the century Victorian Home converted to a lovely, romantic Italian Restaurant. Went there for lunch with friends and really enjoyed ourselves. Each table is presented with warm fresh baked bread with Evoo and Balsamic vinegar for dipping. There is a luncheon special menu along with the main menu to select from. Everything looks delicious and we chose the Panino. Yum! Service is warm and professional. We must go back and try their handmade pasta. read more

Booked a 6 person reservation for my mums bday at Ca Bianca and it was exactly what we needed. Delicious Italian food; I had the steak and it was paired with mashed potatoes and veggies, perfectly cooked. Wine section is great but the parking is tough. Chill, but elevated atmosphere paired with exceptional service. Well worth the price. read more

Awesome place! Everything was good quality and the service was great. We sat outside and the vibe with the garden & lights were so unique. You can taste the blend of ingredients in each entree & appetizer. The espresso martini was also very yummy. Our food came out relatively fast, however the drinks took more time. The building is very elegant and beautiful. The garden looks magical and definitely a great date spot or birthday dinner/lunch place! Overall, I had a great experience and I would recommend this restaurant. read more

Wanted to love this place but our $200 dinner lacked flavor, service, and ambiance. Not sure where all these incredible reviews came from. My husband and I are in town for the weekend. He planned dinner and got a reservation at what he deemed "the best restaurant in Santa Rosa". I pulled up the menu and was so excited for gnocchi with brown butter, tomato, and sage and the lamb with herbs and balsamic. We were seated in the back room by the room entrance. Not ideal but also not worth asking to be seated at another table, didn't want to be "that person". Our waiter greeted us and was pleasant enough but could tell he was new as he had trouble with the specials and was just a bit awkward/uncomfortable energy. We opted for the scallop appetizer special as it sounded flavorful with bacon and butter. $24 for 3 scallops with minimal flavor but edible. I added salt and pepper after tasting. Not wowed so far but hoping the mains will redeem the evening. The gnocchi arrived on a plate and was drenched in a red sauce. Not what I expected, I had hoped the browned butter and sage would be the stars. Was offered Parmesan and accepted as the dish needed more flavor. It's dried parm, not fresh grated by the way. Asked for cracked pepper. Never received. After about 5 minutes and our waiter walking past a few times I decided to salt and pepper with what was on the table. Didn't fix it. Honestly, I kept calling the gnocchi "ragú" as in from the grocery store but my husband finally said spaghetti-o's and that's definitely more the flavor. Gnocchi itself was well-prepared as it had a good consistency but the flavor was just bland and honestly that of canned tomato sauce. Lamb was better than the gnocchi but not by much. Served with maybe a single mini potato sliced into 6 pieces and some green beans. Temp of the meat was appropriate and the herbs were nice but it just was okay. Not good or great. After all that, we decided to skip dessert and go elsewhere for ice cream. We won't be back and we won't recommend to any friends or family. read more

Please don't drive by and not stop! This place looks like a white house, but the gardens out front have little nooks that have tables set up from intimate dining. Jorge was our server and did an amazing job educating us on certain dishes. He was fantastic!!! The food was so delicious. The gnocchi appetizer was so light and fluffy, they melted in your mouth. We did use the bread to wipe clean the bowl. Yea it was that yummy. Our main dishes were equally as good. We decided to not finish our dinner because Jorge said they had amazing desserts. He was not wrong!!! We did take our leftovers home. There was a cute little bar to the left when you come in, but try and eat outside in the beautiful gardens. read more

Always a fine dining experience! The food AND the ambience are highly recommended! Fabulous wait staff!

Ca Bianca is a Santa Rosa classic. I've been coming here for over 20 years. The charm of the staff and ambiance of the old Victorian building does not disappoint. Indoor or out has been private and romantic. The drinks from the bar do not disappoint try the Negroni "perfection". My wife loves the salmon or the fish specials which happened to be halibut that night. I love the lamb. I honestly don't think we come here enough. read more

One of our special occasion favorites esp when permits outdoor dining. Delightful food, lovely ambience, excellent service

The food was quick and the restaurant is cute, the outdoor dining area has heat lamps. The service could've been better, we had to tell the waiter quite a few times that we were celebrating my birthday and did notify them when we made the reservation. They don't do anything special for birthdays but we were not aware previously when we made the reservation. We found out when it was time to order dessert, makes sense why they didn't acknowledge it. The food is good but not great. It was lacking flavor but the presentation was amazing. read more

Ca Bianca is beautiful and has lovely authentic food. Both inside and outside seating is beautiful! We go here for some special occasions to treat ourselves and the food is always delicious. Most recently we got the polenta and a crab ravioli special, which were both great. I tried their rose lemonade which was a surprise, but good! We also had their chocolate mousse flourless cake for dessert. Service here is always friendly and professional. read more

I've received lots of recommendations about Ca Bianca, so we finally decided to dine in. The restaurant looked pretty big with several zones/rooms. The ambiance inside was lovely. Parking on the other hand, was quite a problem. Since there wasn't much of a parking lot, we ended up parking on the street, pretty far down the road. Their entrance looks super good at night when the lights come on. Our server Gilberto, was amazing! Super nice and open, gave us a couple of good recommendations, checked on us frequently, and answered all of our questions. A little problem that we had throughout the entire evening was not enough water. Since there was so much ice in our small glass, we ran out after 5-6 sips. We still were thirsty at the end of the night. For the main course, I ordered Vongole-linguine with clams, garlic, fresh tomatoes, and white wine. The clams tasted good and fresh, and the pasta was flavorful. The entire dish was tasty, I can't argue with that, but it wasn't "out of this world". I also think I came with a set of mind that their food was going to be extraordinary since I heard so much about this place from other people, but sadly for me, it wasn't. It was just good Italian food, nothing amazing. My husband had Bolognese-fettuccine served with traditional Italian meat sauce, which was rich and flavorful. For dessert, we decided to go with Panna Cotta. Wild berry compote added a wonderful note of flavor. We liked how creamy it was. Ca Bianca is a nice Italian restaurant with a gorgeous aesthetic to it. read more

It was a terrible experience. Used to be a favorite place. Special lunch Caesar with chicken ordered...no chicken on salad.
