Beet Salad
Priscilla C.

I came here to celebrate my fiancé's birthday and made reservations well in advance. Unfortunately, we were initially seated in a dark corner in the back, which was disappointing for a special occasion. I'm not sure if it was because we were the only people of color there, but it definitely didn't feel great. I did ask to move to a brighter, more lively area, and the manager accommodated us, which I appreciated. Aside from that, everything else was great. The food and drinks were both really good and helped make up for the rough start. Pasta was good and drinks were great. The waiters also were great and very attentive.

Lovely location in beautiful old home with outside garden dining. Lots of classic Italian dishes and local CA wines as well as Italian wine selections. This is a great choice for outdoor dining while in Santa Rosa.

It was my friend's birthday dinner celebration & the food was delicious. I will be back to try other dishes. It was very elegant and nice inside. It was very busy but food was quickly brought out & waiter was kind.

Celebrated my bestfriend's birthday at Ca Bianca and it couldn't have been a better choice. The space itself does feel a little dated, but in a charming, classy old school way. It feels warm and intimate rather than trendy and overstimulating. For dinner I ordered the lobster ravioli special, super rich, definitely on the heavier side, but sooo delicious. I ate ALL of it and felt guilty after but it was worth every calorie. I skipped alcohol this night, but looking back at these photos I kind of wish I had ordered a glass of wine to go with it because it would have paired perfectly. The food was delicious and the space was perfect for the occasion but the servers and bussers really went above and beyond to help with the festivities. They were so attentive and thoughtful throughout the entire meal. One of the best service experiences I've had in a while. Overall 10/10. I came during winter but swear to be back during summer to enjoy the lovely patio seating and update this review...

Stepping into CaBianca's is like stepping back in time. This restaurant is in an 1876 victorian mansion. The attention to detail in this restaurant can't be missed from the architecture down to the roses that adore the tables. The food highlights the northern region of Italy. I had the Carbonara with spaghettini, pancetta, shallots, cream, eggs and pecorino along with an Isola margarita. They have a vast wine list that includes Italian wines along with local wines from Napa and Sonoma County. You can also bring your own wine for a 15.00 corkage fee. The service was prompt and attentive while also giving us time to visit. This restaurant has the perfect space for an intimate dinner to a private event. Our party noted they went to a baby shower in their outside garden. This restaurant shouldn't be missed if you visit Sonoma County.

Pork Chop
Geoff J.

We have been many times over the years but this may have been our best meal there. Excellent bread with olive oil and balsamic was brought out as usual. The appetizers were all excellent and quite large; Dungeness Crab Cake special, the Impepata was so good, full of clams and mussels, I brought the broth home to make a crab bisque, and the Carpaccio was also excellent. We all shared Caesar salads which was very tasty and just the right size as we had ordered appetizers. The entrees were uniformly excellent, Pork Chop, Pasta Carbonara, and the Pasta Funghi. I'm not a vegetarian by any means but the Pasta Funghi was outstanding. To full for dessert. Prices are actually very reasonable for this area and this quality and Jorge was a delightful waiter.

Tried Ca'Bianca for the first time and really enjoyed it! The garden patio is charming, inviting, and perfect for a relaxing meal. We tried the gnocchi, pollo, and fish of the day--everything was delicious and full of flavor. Great food, beautiful atmosphere, attentive service, definitely a place I'd return to!

Carbonara
Kiana H.

It's hard to find really good Italian food in this area, but Ca Bianca is definitely up there with places I really like. I ordered the carbonara and a limoncello drop, and both were really good. Service was great, too. I loved the cozy, at-home feeling of the old Victorian house. I already made a mental note to come back in the summer, they have tables on the porch, and sitting out there on a warm evening sounds perfect. I'd love to come back and try another dish.

Carbonara and Puff Pastry
Jenna M.

I returned here with my fiancé and, of course, felt deeply moved by its beauty and ambiance. Ca Bianca is truly unique in its setting and is a special place for that reason alone. It is romantic and captivating as it is in an old Victorian home. Service was prompt and efficient and we enjoyed our fresh pastas for Valentines weekend. Cannot wait to return in the summer to have a meal in their enchanted garden.

Such a charming Italian restaurant located in downtown Santa Rosa for more than 25 years. It's in a beautiful Victorian house that was built in 1876. They offer house made bread (served with olive oil and vinegar) as well house made pasta. Ingredients are fresh, local and organic. The cuisine is authentic Italian from various regions of Italy. We came here for a holiday family dinner and had an exceptional experience. There were 3 orders of carbonara and I ordered the butternut squash ravioli. We all finished our plates. The complimentary bread was so soft and I love dipping it in the oil and vinegar- delicious! They have an extensive wine list and some craft cocktails. The Italian lemon drop with a sugar rim went nicely with the ravioli. The service was great - everyone was friendly and very attentive. I need to get here more often- it's a gem.

Carbonara
Kelley L.

Solid Italian restaurant in Santa Rosa. I was visiting for a work trip, and we were here for dinner. The restaurant is a historic Victorian home - beautiful and fitting. The staff are really friendly. Everything we ordered was delicious, from the gnocchi to carbonara pasta to chocolate ice cream. Everything was great. I highly recommend this restaurant to those visiting the area.

Really great Italian food + the garden is beautifullllll Our hotel recommended this place, and it was a short walk from downtown Santa Rosa! The restaurant is in a unique Victorian house -- I loveeee the garden entrance and also the garden patio (highly recommend to request to sit here). Very romantic!! Love the ambiance and vibes (: Dog friendly as well! There's also covered patio seating, a bar area/ seating, and traditional seating inside the house. We ordered FUNGHI PASTA + FRUTTI DI MARE PASTA, we finished every bite!! That's when you know it's good! I believe the tagliolini pasta (which is in those 2 pastas) is house made, and some pastas are not housemade. So definitely get the house made pasta! Service was friendly and seemed very well versed. Highly recommend this place for special occasions or a romantic date night!

I didn't realize Ca Bianca was a 19th century home! It looked beautiful with lights all around the plants, and inside was just as beautiful. S E R V I C E: I came here to celebrate my Mother in law's birthday. We had a reservation for 6 of us at 5pm, and it was pretty crowded! Parking could be a hassle for anyone since its parking area isn't that big. We were seated right away, and our server was awesome. F O O D: I really enjoyed the bread they served us while we waited for our food. I had to stop myself from eating too much of it! My main course was their Pollo Ripieno, and it was pretty tasty. I was hesitant about the puff pastry, but it worked well together with the chicken. The portion size did feel a little small for me - and for the price, I was expecting more. O V E R A L L: I can't say I see myself coming back here, unless family wanted to. I felt like the food was mediocre for the amount of money we paid.

How dressy is it?

I would say no less than business casual. Anything less might feel underdressed.

Do you have a gluten free menu?

They have a relatively limited, albeit delicious, menu. It doesn't appear they have a gluten free menu but I'd suggest giving them a call to check for sure (707.542.5800).… 

Can you bring your own wine bottle?

Yes but you'll have to pay corkage. I don't know what they charge at Ca Bianca. It can range from $10 to $30 or more. Also, there are limits to how many bottles you can bring and, again, it depends on the restaurant.

Is there a corkage fee?

Yes, last time we were there a few weeks ago it was $18.00 per bottle

Are dogs allowed on patio?

Yes..... I saw 3 of them on the patio this evening

Great bar! Great drinks! Awesome staff!! Always looks clean and we love the game room…read more As a regular, the way they handle unruly and out of pocket customers, continues to impress me! I was sitting at the bar on Thursday when a customer, Rainey, called the bartender a b*#ch, cursing her out. The bartender explained nicely the girl's token couldn't be used for a $40 Clase Azul Margarita, giving her several other tequila options I might add, and the young girl flipped out in her & called her names. The bartender definitely kept her cool, never even raising her voice. The way people treat bartenders sometimes is just so terrible! Don't go out if you can't act appropriately. Anyway this place is great and I keep going back. Thanks for the yummy drinks Mockingbird!

The name Mockingbird Bar & Chill immediately caught my attention, so had to check it out…read more I stopped in on a Friday right when they opened, so the place was quiet. I ordered one drink, and it was pretty good. The only downside was the service. The bartender wasn't very personable, and I didn't really feel welcomed. To be fair, it was the start of the shift, so maybe they were just getting settled in or simply having an off day. We all have those days, so I'm trying not to judge the experience too harshly. I usually like to give places a second chance because one visit doesn't always tell the whole story. The drink showed promise, and I'm hopeful my next visit will leave a better overall impression. Looking forward to seeing how the experience compares the second time around.

It looked like they ground their meat in house, but I forgot to ask so don't quote me on that.

The shoestring fries were like crack, super addictive, I couldn't stop! The wife had the steak frites, and it might be our new favorite restaurant for that dish. Steak was cooked ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY!! Fries were out of control good. No notes!

There's almost zero damping and no acoustic management whatsoever. It has the appearance of an attractive venue without the functional reality. It was incredibly painful with the voices of all the talking along with the music ringing in our ears. The conversations of people were amplified by the design of the facility to the point where they were competing with the fully amplified '90s band that I heard called joose. In addition, they appear to have no comprehension about how to actually create an appropriate acoustic management system. There are no damping systems, no soft surfaces, it's like they didn't even ask anybody who knows anything about anything about how to do acoustic design. It's entirely appearance based. We will never return here again for anything other than a cocktail or maybe a karaoke event. It was a waste of $20. Per person. We effectively paid $40 for a couple to be acoustically tortured for 2 hours. We kept hoping it would get better but it didn't I thought maybe once more people came in they might help but it didn't help they just got louder.
