Excellent food. Parking on street is a little challenging but worth it. Wine and beer bar, many lunch and dinner selections. Very reasonable prices. A Gem! read more

My daughter and I went to Eddie's for dinner after watching South Pacific at the 6th Street Playhouse. We both so enjoyed the Play, and we were searching Yelp for a restaurant (that we hadn't previously been to) that would complete our fun day in a very positive manner - and boy did we hit the jackpot at Eddie's!!! Our waitress, Melissa, was fabulous!! She was so sweet, Johnny on the spot, and attentive to our every request. I explained to her that I was single-sided deaf, and after that, she always approached the table from my good side! The drinks and food were delicious!! For our drinks, I had a White Sangria Spritz filled with diced mango, which was extremely refreshing, and my daughter had a glass of Zin that paired very well with the tasty and crisp (on the edges) Focaccia bread. We then split a yummy Caesar Salad with fresh dressing, and for our entrees, I chose the Chicken Marsala and my daughter the Lamb Ragu - both were savory & rich, and perfectly prepared & displayed!! We topped off the meal with two decadent desserts - Banana Apple Bread Pudding and Cannoli, and walked away feeling so satisfied and happy with our choice to dine at Eddie's - we'll definitely be back!!! read more

Food- very good. Calamari ( frozen) appetizer =3.5 stars. Not too much breading and a good flavor. King prawns in garlic- lemon pasta = 4.5 stars. 5 large prawns in the perfect lemon- garlic pasta sauce. Green seafood bouillabaisse soup= 4.5 stars. Very good. Dessert =4.5 stars, bread pudding. Atmosphere: 2.5 stars. Kerioke bar or Italian restaurant? Play SOME Italian music not just American pop. Seating: get some comfortable seats ( not patio furniture) put up some Italian decor, wall art, etc.. Value = 5 Stars. The price is right!! read more

Eddie's Kitchen is such a great little family-owned restaurant downtown. The food is absolutely delicious, the portions are amazing, and the prices are very fair, especially for the quality and amount of food you get. My family and I love coming here. I also think small downtown restaurants deserve a little more grace and support. With events like the fair and Wednesday Night Market, sometimes businesses are put in situations where they may have to close early or adjust their hours unexpectedly. One unfortunate experience doesn't necessarily reflect the food, the restaurant, or the hardworking family behind it. Eddie's is small, humble, welcoming, and truly a hidden gem. We've had great experiences here and the food has been amazing. Definitely a place worth supporting! read more

I super liked it! This isnt a super romantic or vibey place, but the wine and food is good and reasonably priced. Thats perfect for me. The service is great, the right balance of friendly and on top of things while also allowing you to have a private convo. We got the prawn paradise which was great (creamy and lemony with big ol shrimps) and pappardelle bolognese (great flavor). I would absolutely return. read more

We wanted dinner somewhere within walking distance of where we were staying, so my wife found Eddie's on Yelp. The reviews looked good, so off we went. From the outside, it's a pretty unassuming building. When we walked in, I got more of a diner vibe than an Italian restaurant. The décor is simple and straightforward without a lot of frills, but we were there for the food, not the décor. We were seated almost immediately, and our waitress was friendly and laid back. She also let us know that we had arrived just in time for happy hour, so naturally we had to order some drinks and appetizers. We tried both the red and white sangrias, which our waitress had made fresh that day. They were refreshing and hit the spot. To start, we ordered the calamari and shared a Caesar salad. We also enjoyed some of the house focaccia bread. For our entrées, I chose the Lamb Ragu while my wife went with the Pappardelle Bolognese. Everything arrived in a timely manner and came out hot and fresh. The calamari was crispy and well prepared. The focaccia was good, although I would have preferred it served warm. The Caesar salad was flavorful and the perfect size for sharing. The lamb in the Lamb Ragu was cooked perfectly, and the pasta had a great texture and chew. The Pappardelle Bolognese was hearty, meaty, and equally well executed. Portion sizes for both dishes were just right and satisfying without being overwhelming. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and had a pleasant dining experience. My only critique is that both pasta dishes could have used a little more seasoning, particularly salt, to make the flavors pop a bit more. Aside from that, Eddie's delivered a good Italian dinner with friendly service and good value. read more

Stopped by on a Wednesday evening they close at 9pm we walked in and it wasnt crowded but they still had take out orders. This place is an absolute gem! Not only was our server Brenda so friendly and efficient but the food was amazing and so reasonably priced. We split a chicken Caesar salad which was delicious and ordered the Fettuccine diavola and papparrdelle bolognese. Both were delicious and really large portions. The scallops and shrimp in my Diavola were delicious! The restaurant is clean and spacious highly recommend if you're in Santa rosa! read more

My girlfriend, I had brunch at Eddie's. It was totally delicious. The food was good. The price was fair. The service was friendly. I recommend Eddie's try it. You will like it. The ambiance, beautiful, check it out. It's really old school. I like the decorations nothing too fancy but appropriate for the time period of a cafe style restaurant. read more

Great food and excellent service especially on a busy Saturday night. Highly recommend.

I only had the bread pudding here, and it was delicious. The bread pudding had been warmed up, and the french vanilla ice cream was a perfect accompaniment. Bread pudding: 5/5 Maybe it was because it was 2pm on a Friday afternoon, but the atmosphere was lacking. There were guests at 2 other tables, and that was it. The place smelled overwhelmingly of disinfectant. Ambiance: 1/5 read more

Eddie’s Kitchen - Bread pudding - Italian Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

My husband and I were in town recently to go house hunting. We walked a mile from our hotel to Eddie's for dinner because it had great reviews and, hell, who doesn't love a late summer evening walk? We finally got there around 8pm. Walked in to a completely empty restaurant and two employees sitting at the bar on their phones. They exchanged knowing glances, then the guy walked up to us and said, "yeah, we closed early tonight". No apology, no explanation. First, stick to your posted hours. Second, close and lock your damn door if you're closed. And, did they learn? Nope. About ten minutes later another couple walked in and were promptly shooed out. Bummer, because I really wanted to try Eddie's, but with such poor representation, I won't be back unless they get their poop in a group. read more

Tried Eddie's Kitchen and loved it! We ordered the tuna tartare (forgot to take a picture before we devoured it ), and it was delicious. The atmosphere is super chill and welcoming. We even met the owner, who made us feel right at home. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. Mamma mia! read more

Their happy hour is really solid! We came on Friday around 5 PM, and even though it was busy, we got a table easily without a reservation. Service was friendly and efficient. I ordered the french fries and fried calamari, which came with ketchup and aioli - both were tasty. My girlfriend had an arugula salad and a burger. She loved the salad, but the burger was overcooked (she asked for medium rare). She much preferred the meatball she ordered in the past. They also served complimentary bread with olive oil and vinegar before our meal. Aside from the overcooked burger, everything else was 10/10! read more

This has become my new fav Friday spot. Not only are the staff so nice, but the food is top notch. I have yet to be disappointed. Meatballs in sauce were delish and flavorful especially with the focaccia bread to mops up the rest of the sauce. Very bright and not heavy. Prawn paradise is light yet creamy. The lemon garlic Alfredo sauce hits the spot especially with the prawns. Pesto penne lunch portion is huge and quite filling. Chicken Paillard is seasoned well with the right amount of sauce and veggies. I could go on, but really you should just go and eat. Everything I've had hasn't been a miss! read more

Came here for dinner on a weeknight. We made a reservation to be on the safe side but probably didn't need it. There were other people already at the restaurant even though they just opened for dinner. It's nice and clean inside with cute centerpieces. I was pleased that they served focaccia bread with olive oil and vinaigrette to dip. All the food we ordered was pretty good. Also tried the white sangria which was very refreshing and just the right amount of alcohol. Customer service was also good and attentive. read more

OK, honest review I tried this place one time during restaurant week when they had recently opened and they were out of a few of the dishes we wanted to try. However, after months, I decided to give this spot another shot, and I ordered the pasta instead this time. This pasta that I ordered was absolutely delicious. I think it is my favorite pasta that I've ever had at a restaurant and that says a lot because I have been to a few Italian restaurants in my time. The garlic bread was also good. The wine paired well with my dish in my opinion. Service was a bit slow. I will say me and my sibling didn't get our drinks for about 20 minutes. I understand that a big party came in, but we after a while we had to ask another waiter for our drinks since our original waiter went to help with the big group. Our original waiter did apologize, though, which was appreciated and the other worker was able to get us our drinks after we asked her for them. I love the picture that they have with the dog drinking wine and the cheese for me. It's a cute restaurant inside. It is aesthetically pleasing. It's not overly done with decorations like some other restaurants where every wall is bombarded with pictures. read more

We decided to head back and give Eddies another try. My daughter, me and my granddaughter on Xmas eve wanted happy hour. Unfortunately they weren't offering happy hour due to it being a holiday. Service was good even though they got our order messed up but in the end the food was fantastic!! I had a salmon pasta I have since gone home to recreate. My daughter was raving about the pesto too. I'm incredibly glad we gave it another shot and look forward to going back. read more

Their Caesar salad dressing is made with mayonnaise. Gross! Never should that be used in a ceaser salad dressing. Their risotto is generic. Nothing to get excited about. Nothing special.

We really enjoyed Eddie's Kitchen. We arrived over an hour early due to a hole that opened up in our schedule and they were kind enough to accommodate us. Parking was nearby but NOT next door so don't try it (the lot belongs to another business to be forewarned). Service was prompt and pleasant, multiple people checke on us throughout our stay. The restroom was clean, the meal particularly tasty (my wife, a San Francisco native complimented all aspect of it, and she knows calamari and Italian food). The ambiance was quite and pleasant. Definitely a return visit is in order. read more

Had a delicious meal at Eddie's Kitchen!! My mother and I decided to pick a new restaurant off Yelp after seeing a play at 6th Street Playhouse on Sunday. We arrived at 5ish shortly after they opened and were immediately seated. The waitress Melissa greeted us promptly with menus and the specials. She was attentive, kind, and accommodating. She answered all of our questions and offered great recommendations. I had a glass of Zin and my mother had the white wine sangria. We enjoyed our drinks with some house focaccia while deciding on our entrees. I chose the lamb ragu and my mother had the chicken Marsala. The portion size was generous and the flavors were outstanding. It is clear Eddie's uses quality ingredients to produce authentic Italian dishes. I personally don't care for Marsala so it is not something I enjoy or order. However, I tried my mother's since it smelled so good. Eddie's chicken Marsala wasn't just palatable it was delicious. My lamb was cooked to perfection. We also shared a fresh Caesar salad that was perfect starter size for two. We were stuffed, but decided we had to try the dessert since dinner was amazing. We shared a bread pudding and cannoli. The bread pudding was served warm with ice cream and a caramel sauce. I love bread pudding and this meet my expectations. The cannoli were also very good and crispy. Definitely recommend Eddie's Kitchen and will be back soon. read more

My family and I come here several times a week! Order in and take out. It's amazing every time!

We arrived here for a New Year's Eve dinner. The reason we decided to eat here was because we wanted to keep the tradition alive to have Italian food for NYE. The streak has been going on for a few years now. Starting the New Year with Italian food is always a great thing. Eddie's Kitchen is located in a nice area in downtown Santa Rosa. Parking was free, easy, and plentiful in the parking lot next door. The vibe was inviting and cozy. It had a mom and pops owned restaurant feel to it and that's how comfortable I felt. We enjoyed the complimentary focaccia bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I ordered the chicken parmigiana and it was delicious. I'm a big fan of chicken parmigianas and this parmigiana ranks right up there. My Caesar side salad was scrumptious as well. Our server was kind enough to let us order a half order each for both of our kids's entrees. The half order portion was still hearty and fulfilling. For dessert the cream brûlée was sweet and tasty. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We appreciated the great service for a NYE dinner. Our experience at Eddie's Kitchen was top notch. We enjoyed our dinner, the ambiance, and the service. Hopefully we can be back for the happy hour specials. read more

I've been four times and each time come away with the similar feeling. It's a good restaurant with good food and good service. Consistent. I haven't necessarily been "wowed" but everything has been tasty. For me, service has always been great! Friendly, efficient, helpful with suggestions, etc. Having tried everything from pork chop valdostana to chicken piccata to chicken parm to fettucine alfredo... everything was just fine. :) Most recent visit was during happy hour and I must say, their prices were quite good for what you get! I had the 1/2 arugula and beet salad, a meatball, and truffle fries for about $16. (No alcohol this trip.) My friends both got the papardelle ragu (off happy hour menu) and enjoyed it. It's a fine spot for a relaxed atmosphere and comfort Italian food. read more

Eddie's Kitchen is an absolute delight! We stopped in for dinner and loved everything that we tried. The inside is quaint but has ample seating. The servers were all very friendly and engaging.

We will definitely be back if we find ourselves in the area again. read more

Came here for dinner on a Thursday and loved the chill, relaxed atmosphere--not too crowded, which made for a pleasant experience. Our server, Lisa, was excellent: prompt, attentive, and genuinely friendly. We had the Aperol Spritz, Carbonara, Scallop Risotto, and Tiramisu. The Carbonara was creamy and comforting, and the Scallop Risotto had a great balance of richness and lightness with just the right touch of truffle oil. The standout was the Tiramisu--hands down the best I've had. Not overly soaked, just perfectly creamy and delicious. Giving one star less as they charge a fee for credit cards without informing you first, and the tip suggestion is calculated post-tax and fees instead of just the food cost. read more

Always nice to try a new spot. Head dinner with my mom and she loves this place. We went at 5 for happy hour. Both had a half ginger salad, a shrimp taco and red sangria from the HH menu. Salad hit all the notes it claimed. The shrimp taco was flavorful with the fresh salsa. Oh and after we were seated they brought us fresh house focaccia, with olive oil and vinegar. Always a classic fave. For dinner I knew I needed something that would be good as leftovers so I went with the pappardelle bolognese. Pasta tasted freshly homemade and the Bolognese was rich and well rounded. Mom enjoyed her shrimp in a creamy garlic sauce, and the chef met her request of light sauce on her pasta, so she was happy. No room for dessert after all that! Servers were all very nice and and attentive. The place was festively decorated for Valentine's Overall we had a lovely experience. read more

My wife and I made reservations with the help of Yelp for New Year's Eve dinner. The restaurant was busy but we were greeted quickly. The menu has a lot of great choices. While we were deciding, some soft cubed focaccia bread was served with olive oil and balsamic. Tasty! We ordered the garlic bread, big beans and fried calamari for appetizers. All were delicious but I thought the calamari was the best I've enjoyed in Santa Rosa. My wife is vegetarian and liked her mango ginger spring salad. I had the NY Steak. I was good but I wished I had it medium rare instead of medium. The food to a little longer to arrive as the kitchen was super busy. The place was very festive with the Christmas spirit. We look forward to returning:) read more

Delicious! Our first time to this restaurant and didn't disappoint. Started off with a beer on tap, a henhouse IPA. Ordered up the chicken piccata, they had so many of my favorites...what a great choice, I did substitute the veggies/potatoes for angel hair pasta. It was scrumptious! I will be back to get something else... or might just get the piccata again. My wife had a giant bone pork chop and loved it. Added a glass of la crema Pinot to go with my piccata. Service was good, waiter a bit on the timid side, but very friendly. We came to this place when it was an Indian restaurant, is definitely updated with a very open floor plan. We will definitely be returning. read more

The restaurant is really cozy. Only beer and wine. We arrived at 5:50 for our 6:00 reservation. We were served our salads promptly but then it was a good hour before our dinners arrived. Totally unacceptable. We were told there was a problem in the kitchen then we were told they were understaffed. My husband and I enjoyed our meal, pasta paradise, but the other couple did not enjoy their meals at all. They said the pasta bolognese was bland, I agreed after tasting it, and the short ribs were not good. Our server was not very friendly maybe because of the situation but he did bring us an appetizer and a dessert to make amends. We will give it another try later because I think it was just a bad night for them. read more
