We had a great experience at Enoteca, most of which is because of the terrific service our Nepalese waitress gave! She was terrific, attentive without being pushy, provided information on the dishes offered and their preparation, as well as being willing to connect with us when we asked about her story. Wonderful! Our food was delicious and prepared very well - those cannelloni....YUM! We shared a ceasar salad and ate every bite. I was offered tastings of 2 wines prior to making my selection. Just a wonderful, relaxing evening enjoying great people and food. read more

Took a trip with friends to Sonoma and stumbled across this wonderful restaurant! The ambiance was amazing, as we dined in a courtyard style garden. We didn't have a reservation and were seated within 5 minutes of arriving. I had the duck raft and it was so good. Creamy, decadent, and overall such a delicious combo. My friends all had the tortellini alla panna, and it was just as delicious. The sauces tasted fresh and the pasta was cooked to perfection. If I'm ever in town again, I'd definitely eat here! read more

We walked into Enoteca expecting a nice dinner, but instead we were met with one of the most dismissive attitudes l've ever experienced at a restaurant. The host told us he could "squeeze us in," but followed it up by saying we should be grateful for it - not in a joking way, but in a tone that made it clear they thought they were doing us a huge favor by letting us dine there at all. It felt insulting, as if we weren't welcome customers but rather an inconvenience. When we tried to calmly address how that came across, he rolled his eyes and tried to rephrase what he had said, which only made the interaction more unprofessional. At that point, we no longer felt comfortable staying and left to eat elsewhere - where we were treated with the basic courtesy and respect every guest deserves. With so many excellent restaurants in the area, Enoteca is not one I would ever recommend. No one should be made to feel like a burden for simply wanting to enjoy a meal. read more

Friendly staff and owner, dog friendly, cozy, loved the house white wine. Walk-ins possible.

Loved the ambiance here! Their outdoor seating is beautiful, almost like a garden with a fountain. Staff was super friendly also. We ordered 2 different pastas, and it didn't disappoint! We got the gnocchi and the duck papperdelle with truffle oil. The gnocchi was cooked perfectly and wasn't mushy, very much comfort food! The papperdelle was cooked al dente, and I loved how I could taste the truffle oil. Both pastas reminded me of real pasta like from Italy! I couldn't stop eating the bread, mainly because of the balsamic! It was a little thicker than your normal balsamic vinegar but not as thick of a glaze. It was sweet, and I couldn't stop dipping my bread in it with oil. For dessert we got the torta di cioccolata, it was delicious! Loved the chocolate mousse with the cherry liquor on top, and the amaretto crust was a nice touch! Definitely want to come back for their pastas! read more

Had a great pre-valentine day dinner here. The duck ragu pasta was fantastic. The pasta was fresh and the sauce was delicious with a truffle flavor. The wine selection is broad and they have great bottles. I had the Montepulciano rosso. The server was attentive and had great recommendations. The restaurant is small and cozy but inviting. read more

Such good food. We came to Sonoma for their Holiday lighting of the Palm tree in their Gigantic town square and boy was it spectacular. There were a few food vendors but we wanted a sure thing and went to Enoteca Della Santina for a nice glass of wine and some food. We ordered the polenta, with mushrooms. Sorry no picture, it is formed it into a muffin shape and placed on a plate of savory sauce with mushrooms. Then we ordered the Burrata with radicchio and slices of prosciutto. We shared both small dishes and it was plenty with the warm crispy bread and their own fantastic olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We downed it with a wonderful Super Tuscany wine. They sell and serve wines from around the world and have a unique wine club, they host local winemaker tastings and have fantastic wine events. This place is a sure pleaser, very welcoming, their trattoria is next door and just as welcoming. There are plenty of locals that come here and it's a perfect place to take visiting family and friends and for special occasions. We will be back. read more

Enoteca Della Santina - Buretta appetizer - Wine Bars Near Me - Sonoma, California

Della Santina is a lovely Italian restaurant in Sonoma only steps from the plaza square. The atmosphere is relaxing and fairly quiet even with a packed house. The covered courtyard is lush with foliage and pretty flowers. The food was great. Very fresh and beautifully seasoned. Servers are attentive and work as a team to service each table. Definitely recommend. Will return. read more

I don't understand the difference between Enoteca Della Santina and Della Santina, as we were told the menu is the same for both. That being said our food was so overcooked that it was inedible. The outdoor patio, while quaint and charming, is in desperate need of a refresh. The menus under the glass tabletops are tacky, and a clear sign that Della Santina is not an upscale restaurant, even though they are trying to price it as such. read more

Food was good enough, service was fine, but prices were ridiculous. We won't be back. read more

Service person was enjoyable and knowledgeable ; had been there for decades ! Food was world class: good wine, salads, soups, pasta and dessert. Costly, but well worth it! read more

I enjoyed their rotisserie chicken to go and had a glass of barolo. It seemed they were a bit understaffed, but the food is fantastic and the workers are accommodating once you get a hold of them. Inside seems to be nice and relaxed grate place for adult families or a nice date. read more

Top notch service. Outstanding meal. Simply wonderful experience. Not much else needs to be said! Get some duck and thank me later. Oh, and the Cesar salad will be the best you've ever had. I love this place! read more

We've been visiting this area for decades and this is by far the worst meal we've ever had in Sonoma. The staff seemed annoyed from the minute we walked in. The food was bland , absolutely no flavor, and seemed pre-packaged, The entrees were so bad we didn't eat them and then went to another restaurant for dinner. The waitstaff didn't even ask us why we didn't eat our meals, And didn't even get thank you/goodbye as we left. read more

Food was amazing, owner is incredible, he told us how to cook such amazing pomodoro sauce (came on the gnocchi). Patio is beautiful. Definitely coming back next time we're in Sonoma. read more

As close to authentic Italian as you can get! We chose patio dining and were not disappointed! Our team of servers were attentive, kept a constant "check" on our "vitals"! I chose the Tortellini Penne! The best tortellini I have ever eaten! It says it is meat filled tortellini and IT IS! It was perfect paired with my Pinot!! And BENNY,our waiter, is THE BEST!! read more

I tried to make a reservation recently and had called during their open hours 5 separate times. It just rang and rang and I never got a response nor did anyone pick up. Very disappointed. read more

Probably great for most pastas you get here but I got the rotisserie duck and despite it being HUGE, it was flavorless, so were the veggies that came with it. So disappointing. read more

So wonderful every dish that was ordered and left with nothing behind. 5 . I would highly recommend this place.

This place is a hidden gem if you like real, Tuscan food made by a true Italian from Tuscany! Home made bread, super food and sweet balsamico, and delicious olive oil! Had lunch and dinner there because it was so delicious! Excellent service as well! The back yard is like dining in Tuscany. Not a fancy place but that's what it's about! Also has a front yard room that looks on the street and has a more formal dining area. I'm Italian and I highly recommend the restaurant! The owner as well as his son are super friendly and make you feel like you're part of the family! read more

This is my first time here and Lily the manager is amazing. Accommodated our party of six last minute and was a beautiful host. We felt so welcomed and learned so much about wine and the dellasantina family, I don't think Lilly is Italian but she showed the most Italian hospitality. They're lucky to have her. The atmosphere was so magical, truly immaculate. Will be back read more

Stumbled upon this wine bar looking for happy hour before our dinner rez. Got a glass and the burrata, and promptly cancelled our reservations. This spot is so chill, unfussy, and relaxing. We had great wine, bread, burrata as mentioned and shared pasta. Amazing spot, disconnected from the tourist hype, was just spot on. read more

Cute wine bar right off the plaza with nice wine selection and great food from Della Santina. Nice vibe. Low lighting and blaring 80's/90's music. Tried the turkey dish last night and it was lovely! My husband had the barley soup and it was fab! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Because I have had zero help with my online order that I placed back in February but still have not received. I have called numerous times only to have the phone ring and ring with no answer. I have also sent multiple emails to the email address listed on their website but have yet to receive a response. This is getting very frustrating. I have never had a problem with this place before until now. I am not sure what has happened, but I would like to get my order or a refund at the very least. read more

Delicious! We searched for food on Yelp while in the area and chose this spot. It was all very good.

What makes a place first impression! Alexis is amazing, so friendly and well made the evening! Good we had the mozzarella and tomato with peppers pickled onions and oh the bread! The followed with the gnocchi and creme sauce! Great to sit at the bar and enjoy Alexis . So knowledgeable of all the wines , go for the great experience and food! read more

Stopped in close to closing time and the kitchen was closed. They made an exception and accommodated my wife and me. The patio setting was super cool. It was romantic for our purpose but I could easily see it as a fun group setting as well. Food and service were excellent. We had the lasagna and it was wonderful. read more

Food is wonderful but management doesn't seem to care about their patrons. I saw long term customers walk out never to return.

Came for my brothers wedding to Sonoma and had no idea how early everything closed. This bar stays open late and you can try dozens of wines local to the valley and international. The owner was very personable and welcoming. Small spot but truly hidden gem of the square read more

Very disappointed! We were desperate to find a place to eat in Sonoma...starving! We love Italian so thought we would give this place a try. It's a little restaurant and we went with spaghetti pomodoro (a tomato sauce) and tortellini alla pana (cream sauce). The pomodoro was made with chunky tomatoes which disappointed. We thought everything needed salt and pepper. We also thought the value was not good and overpriced for what we got! read more

We ventured out last evening for dinner in Sonoma forgetting that it was Saturday night. We literally walked the entire square in search of a restaurant that had availability. After being abruptly turned away by a somewhat condescending, snobbish host at Della Santina, we were warmly greeted by Victoria at Enoteca right nextdoor and offered a patio table immediately. Our evening improved immediately as the atmosphere was warm and friendly and the food exceptional. Since the evening was cold we enjoyed delicious bowls of minestrone soup and tortellini en brodo, followed by spaghettini pomodoro. These excellent dishes were accompanied by wonderful wines and freshly baked ciabatta bread. Thanks to the food quality, attentive service and the gracious Victoria we ended our evening very happy indeed! read more
