As always, excellent food! Service is always amazing! Great bar! We had the Burrata and Prosciutto platter for an app. Was sooo good! Chicken Piccatta, Cesar Salad with chicken, Michaels pasta. Everything was fresh and delicious!!! Note: get a sitter! It's such a great place to go but no one wants to hear your screaming kids! read more

Most excellent spot. Wow. My wife and I loved it for our 10th anniversary. The tiramisu was to die for.

We went here last week as a birthday present for my husband, and it couldn't have been a better decision to go there. However, it was a little warm, so we decided to eat inside. It was more relaxed. They had a lovely outdoor area with a black-and-white checkered tile floor, umbrellas, and heating elements, but it was hot that day. There was no need for any of that, but if you needed it, it would be there. When you first walk into the restaurant there is a huge bar and you could eat or drink there if you wanted rather than wait for a table, the rustic in the bar area, though. when you come into the restaurant dinning area it's contemporary, pretty and elegant. We went there with my son and his wife and had an absolutely beautiful meal. The meatball sliders were our appetizers. They were super delicious and a definite favorite of the whole family. My son and I got the chicken Parmesan, and to be quite honest, I have ordered chicken Parmesan 1 million times and stopped ordering it quite a few years ago because of having so many that were done so badly, but my son assured me that I would not be disappointed and he was correct. It was delicious and flavorful, and the chicken was moist. The sauce was perfect. I couldn't eat it all but happily finished it the next day. The birthday boy got chicken piccata, and he loved it. I have to say it was really good, but I'm still sticking with my chicken Parmesan. It was amazing. We also ordered that kale salad, which I've never had before. It had some sort of fruit in there, along with croutons and Parmesan. The whole family loved it. The service we received that day was absolutely perfect. So I must say there is no way I'm not coming back to this restaurant. That Chicken Parmesan will get me back here every time. By the way, it's a perfect restaurant for a romantic dinner, whether inside or outside. I love the outside patio, They have a beautiful white bar, but unfortunately, it wasn't open that day. I think it was too warm, but I must say that it is the perfect patio for a romantic dinner. They also do events during the summer with live music, and I'm pretty sure that's when they open that beautiful white bar outside. Now, that sounds like a good time to me. Cheers to you, clink clink SYOY read more

Who would have thought in a tiny town in wine country that this incredible restaurant would be here?? A sweet surprise and can't wait to return. We had been on an extended trip for over three weeks and we were staying nearby. I opened up my Yelp app and this place popped up. I called for a reservation but was quickly told that they were totally booked. Only available sitting was bar seating. I was shocked but intrigued at the same time. We both decided we had better go check it out. We arrived close to 7:00pm and sure enough the place was packed. I looked over at the bar and noticed two free stools. The people at the bar advised us that they were open so we sat down quickly. We met Tyler our bartender who quickly gave us some history on the restaurant. The restaurant first opened in 1936 by Italian immigrants Santi and Virginia Catelli. They use local and organic farmers ingredients plus their wine list is very impressive. It is still family run today. So many delicious items on the menu and it was so hard to choose but we decided on the Catelli's Salad and Lasagna. We also enjoyed a glass of a tasty Zinfandel from a local winery. The lasagna was ten layers of delicate pasta and we selected the Domenica sauce which had organic tomato, garlic, and extra virgin olive oil plus it was spicy. Can I just say this was the best lasagna I think I have ever had. I sure wish they were closer as I would seriously dine here every week just so I could sample all the dishes. Service from Tyler was great as he was super busy pouring drinks and serving food too. The vibe in the restaurant is festive and lively. On Thursdays they offer live music. They offer beautiful patio dining as well but I will have to experience that on my next visit. Parking is on the street and with such a small town not too hard to find a space. So happy we got lucky to find you Catelli's, we will be back! read more

My wife and I went to Catelli's on a friend's recommendation. Reservations were made but wine tasting came first at Jason Keys and Seghesio wineries. While talking to the two servers, we told them that we were going to Catelli's for dinner. The compliments and food recommendations for the restaurant came fast and furious. On a recommendation we started and shared the kale salad. Not being a big fan of kale, I was skeptical of it but it was so good. The citrus fruit that was in the salad complemented it well. I'm certainly ordering this again. For dinner my wife had the halibut and I had the clams and spaghetti in a white sauce. My wife said that the crust on halibut was a pistachio crust and it was delicious with the arugula and risotto. She said it the dish was full of flavor. My spaghetti and clams were some of the best that I've had. The pasta and clams were cooked perfectly, with plenty of clams in the bowl and all with the right amount of chilli flakes for some heat. The staff was very helpful and hospitable, but I want to give a separate shout out to our server, Faith. She was welcoming and took great care of us. She made great recommendations and was very attentive. We will certainly be back on our next wine tasting trip read more

First time at Catelli's. My wife and I went for dinner tonight. I've been wanting to go for a while. I've heard so many people say such great things I think my expectations were a bit too high. The ambiance and service were excellent. I was a bit disappointed in the menu. It is a bit of a small limited menu. Nothing really jumped out to me. I ordered the minestrone and lasagna. The minestrone was excellent! One of the best I've had. The lasagna with meat sauce was also good but it was different. The layers of lasagna were so paper-thin there was no texture. There was nothing but cheese and it was kind of mushy. The flavor was good. I enjoyed the meat sauce but I probably wouldn't order that again. read more

We last went to Catelli's years ago and stopped by for dinner with two other couples. We made reservations beforehand. When we showed up we were seated outside. The outside is a large well landscaped courtyard surrounded by plants and flowers. It was a hot day but they have plenty of large umbrellas in the dining area. We ordered two salads, a bowl of minestrone soup, garlic bread and water. Not really exciting but we just came from a wine-tasting and food event and had eaten small bites before coming to Catelli's. Our friends ordered spaghetti with clams, and lasagna both the regular and spicy sauce. Our salads were large and the soup was in a medium-sized bowl. The garlic bread was your standard garlic bread and was hot and tasty. We both loved our Catelli's salad with a tomato-based homemade dressing that had a nice tang to it. My wife liked her minestrone soup and would order it again. Both friends liked their lasagna with one saying it was good but not great and the other said it was great. Mixed review. We ordered a Noble Sundae, our friends ordered a Tiramisu and a fruit crisp. The Sundae had pistachio cherry and vanilla ice cream with salted caramel, candied pecans and crispy prosciutto which caught my attention. It also came with a dollop of whipped cream. My wife and I loved the dessert and the crispy prosciutto tasted like bits of bacon. The tiramisu was a big hit as well and the fruit crisp was really good but not a standout. I would order it when we go back but it would not be on the top of my list. I keep forgetting about Catelli's because of the distance from where we live but I really like it and will be back again. read more

This restaurant is our "to go" place when we have visitors. The food is great and the staff very friendly - especially Tiffany.

First let me start off with the service, it was beyond excellent. From the first person we encountered to the last they were all fantastic. Our server Cameron was amazing. He was super attentive and personable. I would go back just to have him as a server again. Now the food. The food was excellent all around. We started with the burrata plate, then the beet salad, lasagna and finally the fruit crisp. The portions were generous and we ended up bringing some home. We sat outside on the beautiful patio listening to live music. It was an overall epic evening. Can't wait to come back. read more

I will tell you what, it's been almost a decade since I last reviewed and I just went this past weekend and nothing has changed other than they are still killing it!! I'm still Celiac, still love gluten but it doesn't love me. They have an entire MENU for options that include all kinds of options not just 1 noodle choice and a salad. I was feeling loved and seen while we dined on Friday night. We didn't have a reservation but we're able to walk in during close to prime time as a party of 4. Waited just a few minutes and we were seated. Two folks in my party had never been so it was a fantastic first experience for them and a repeat for those of us know remember the goodness. We ordered truffle fries for the table, kale salad to share, and we each ordered our own mains. I ordered the mushroom sauce with spaghetti noodles (gluten free) and bought into the gluten free garlic bread. I can't say enough how refreshing it is to feel like I have choices when I'm locked out of so much within Italian cuisine. Everyone was super friendly, pricing is appropriate to expectations and what they deliver. This spot is a solid Sonoma County establishment that brings history and charm to the table. Thanks for such a wonderful reminder how delicious and welcoming Catelli's is to ALL diners. read more

They have a great bar and a nice wine list but we did not have a great visit because we were so disappointed by the food. My wife ordered the eggplant parmesan and it came out WAY undercooked. We sent it back and it came back piping hot...and still WAY undercooked. I'm Italian-American, a cook, and I can tell you: it was not well prepared or thought out. It was a baby eggplant, cut in half, so it looked cute, but it never got fully cooked. Nothing we had for dinner was all that memorable, so keep your expectations low. The hosting was also kind of edgy and could offer up a few more smiles and some warmth. Also, THE PLACE TO EAT AND DRINK AT CATELLI'S IS THE PATIO, which is beautiful and usually has some great live music. read more

The restaurant is adorable. Super cozy, friendly staff and great service! The food was a bit disappointing. We both ordered ravioli as i have read reviews that they are paper thin. Not true in our experience. They were very al dente and tough. The meat filling however was very tasty. The mushroom sauce was delicious but the butter sauce was more of an Alfredo sauce which I wasn't expecting. I would give it another try, maybe we just ate there on an off night. read more

The bar has very tasty drinks. We dinned out on the back patio. Absolutely beautiful atmosphere. The food was amazing. I enjoyed the beet salad with chèvre. Staff was very nice and accommodating. read more

Catelli's is my favorite place to eat!!! Such great food a must try!! The burrata ,hanger steak and homemade raviolis are my favs mmmmm yum!

Great food, great service and amazing atmosphere! We love coming back again and again.

I had high hopes for Catelli's due to the reviews but I was slightly underwhelmed by the food and menu options. The menu offers it's array of traditional Italian dishes but the menu presented didn't specify gluten free or vegetarian options and there were limited salad/health conscious entrees to choose from. (I realized when writing this review the online menu does specify gluten free/dietary restrictions however it's not on their printed menu). For dinner I went with the chicken piccata and while the dish was rich in flavor the chicken itself had an over cooked texture to it. I had a few bites and boxed the rest. After dinner I ordered the bread pudding which was simply okay. I didn't fully finish my dessert or dinner which felt like a first for me. Of everything I ordered the only thing I throughly enjoyed and finished was my glass of zin. Overall I have a hard time seeing what the hype is about in regards to the food but I can see all the hype for the restaurants ambiance and service. Despite my heavy opinion on the food, the service at Catelli's is positively worth noting. Staff was friendly and attentive and that's always appreciated. read more

Happy birthday dinner. We came here to celebrate my birthday and to experience the wonderful cuisine. The building is beautiful and offers a traditional welcoming vibe. As we walked through the indoor dining area into the garden setting --we could feel the excited vibes of the those already dining. Not to mention we read that this was an Impressive third generation iconic restaurant located in the heart of Sonoma County. We were also impressed with the Alice in Wonderland decor and whimsical lush garden. The menu highlights ingredients from local and organic farmers as well as over 100 local wines and they source their ingredients locally and organically. So-of course-we were excited to experience this Italian affiar for ourselves. We wanted everything on menu but finally decided to share the: Kale Salad, Organic kale, lemon, orange, crushed croutons, crushed walnuts, Parmesan & Dry Creek Olive Oil, the Burrata and Prosciutto Triple-cream mozzarella, San Daniele Prosciutto, grilled bread, and baby arugula with Dry Creek Olive Oil, the famous Lasagna, and Catelli's Ravioli classic 3-Meat filling or Cheese filling made with Bellweather farms fresh ricotta. Everything was perfection. Perks: Large bar, various seating selections, and beautiful decor. Service: Exceptional service. We brought our own Champagne. Corkage fee was $10.00. Note: Parking is scarce-so arrive early. Recommended: Make a reservation. We were thankful we did because as we walked out there was a line out the door waiting to try to get in without reservations. Wow! read more

The meal I had at catellis was amazing. I ordered risotto arancini as an appetizer. They were creamy inside and perfectly crispy outside. The garlic bread was so fresh it must have been baked the same day. My family and I all ordered separately, but decided to share so we could try everything. The pasta is made from scratch and was fresh and tender. The lasagna was rich and cheesy. The chicken parm was super tender and the polenta it was served over was some of the best I've ever had. We sat on the back patio. The ambiance was perfect. There was room for about 50 guests. Our server was lovely and tentative. I can't wait to go back for another meal! read more

I am a big time lasagna lover. Drove to this location a few weeks ago (March 2025) with my best friend. We live a 1 hour and 30 minutes away. We sat in the sunny courtyard. The food and service was great. The lasagna was worth the drive. Customer service was very nice also. 2nd trip (April 2025) was with my wife and a very good female friend of ours. Long drive again, but it is worth it to us. We all had the lasagna and everyone loved it. I even took a order home for my sister. Meatball sliders were to die for. Thanks to the wonderful owner we were all able to sample the mushroom ravioli and the kale salad. Both were extremely tasteful. We truly appreciated her hospitality. On our next trip I will 100% order the Kale salad and i will try the Ravioli. If you go here with a friend or spouse, order different dishes so that you can explore other meals. We all were happy with our meals and the old school customer service. The staff was wonderful. I highly recommend this restaurant. There are a couple of wineries close by also. But for a meal I recommend Catelli's. read more

Catelli's, kinda odd that I have not reviewed Catelli's. We have been numerous times, one of my favorites and Go to items at Catelli's is their spaghetti and clam dish, the flavor is spot on... the serving size is smaller than what I am used to in ordering this dish, although there were a good number of clams. Also on this trip I got the dessert, was a fruit crisp dessert, while I was trying to go low sugar (I opted for no ice cream), probably would have made it a better dish, the crumble topping was a bit on the soggy side, so didnt get the crisp. I also want to mention a dish that we have had in the past, but did not have this time--- the burrata, arugula and prosciutto--- on crostini--- We loved that dish so much, that we duplicated it and now eat it regularly at home. The service was and is always spot on! Ambiance is very nice inside and out, with plenty of outdoor seating. read more

It's been a long time since I've left a restaurant and immediately started trying to find an excuse to book my next reservation. But Chef Domenica Catelli and the entire team at Catelli's achieved this, and then some! Knowing that this was a special dinner for me and my friends visiting from out of town, the service team welcomed us with an incredible surprise of fresh prosciutto, house made burrata, arugula and toasted bread along with the sweetest welcome note. What a way to start! When you think home style Italian in America, many of us think rich sauces, heavy entrees, and large portions. While the third point couldn't be more true her(thanks to my friend Annie for the leftover pasta!) our entrees were full of flavor, made with fresh local ingredients and so nice and light that we couldn't help sharing amongst the three of us. My friends had the fresh pasta with butter and cheese (simplicity at its finest), Chef Domenica's famous lasagna (not your grandmas lasagna.. and I mean that in the best way possible!) and I had the Chicken Parmigiana served in a cast iron skillet. Gorgeous presentation, beautifully cooked crispy chicken, and a delicate topping of fresh mozzarella and a light, yet savory tomato sauce. Since we weren't completely stuffed from our meal, we opted for two desserts to share, the chocolate molten cake with rich (yes, this one was rich... and the crowd favorite!) dark chocolate and the tiramisu which was equally delicious. The meal was paired with five-star service from the entire team, from our server (I'm kicking myself for forgetting his name but he was a young gentleman and exemplified wine country hospitality to a T) to the manager who graciously came to check on us at the end of the meal. And yes, the wine did flow from the bottle of local Dry Creek Valley Pinot that we all shared. As a local Santa Rosan who should have gone to Catelli's a long time ago when I moved out here, I recommend you don't just walk, but run, to Catelli's on your next visit to Geyserville. From the intimate decor to the classic Italian fare and warm, gracious service, you'll be ready to plan your next visit as well! read more

This place!!! 5/5 all the way around. Great staff with full knowledge of food and best pairings. Cosy and light chic atmosphere. Amazing, mostly local wine selection , . . . BUT THE FOOD!!! My goodness. We have eaten here several times when in wine country. We used to mostly hit Healdsburg, but stumbled on this rural little burg and now we ALWAYS go here for lunch or dinner. The lasagna with meat sauce is the best pasta dish I've ever had, tied for first with a wild boar papparadelle I had in Radda en Chianti so many years ago. Such amazing texture of pasta, local fresh cheeses, and amazing sauce. I think I have some skills as a chef but this blows me away. We have 'stolen' the playbook for the buratta and prosciutto starter as a regular when we do the entertaining. And the Valentine special arancini with mushrooms really hit the spot. Bravo Catelli's!! read more

Catellis has always been a favorite of ours, but I had relatives having dinner on Saturday and some ordered the steak and it was a very small piece of steak, Sunday I took my family there and my son ordered steak and when it came it was a little piece of steak, he asked where the other part was, for the price I think you should get a decent size steak for your money. read more

I had a large reservation for my birthday and though the food was delicious and the restaurant was beautiful, there was a lack of service. Bread wasn't offered until asked, no salad service, not all ingredients were listed on menu items. For example the meat sauce pasta I ordered included several recipe items but did not include onions and I'm allergic to onions. We had to whisper sing happy birthday because there was kind of a weird atmosphere around singing and loud noises, which is tough because there was 9 of us! read more

We went to Catelli's for our anniversary dinner. We were seated at a two top table in front of the fireplace; very comfy! Our waitress was perfect. She brought us our cocktails, and gave us time to enjoy them and chat before ordering dinner. I ordered the shrimp, clam, and sausage sauté with spaghetti noodles. My husband had the chicken parmesan. Both were delicious, and more than we could finish in one sitting. We ordered the tiramisu for dessert, and it finished off our dinner beautifully. It was a special evening made more delightful by the great service, perfectly cooked meal, and lovely setting. We will be back! read more
