Found a hidden gem! It's often hard to find food that rivals the wine in this area, but Il Fuoco exceeded expectations. The Neapolitan-style pizza was spot on, and the meatballs and salad were the perfect complements. Since it was a Friday, the dining room was packed, but grabbed a spot along the bar. Highly recommend if you're looking for quality eats in Napa. read more

Wow! A 4-min walk from the Fairmont. A fantastic pizza place. Got the puttanesca pizza, wood oven roasted artichoke, and the chocolate chip walnut cookie. The pizza dough was soft without being too doughy. The capers and olives kept the flavors bright. The anchovies and cheese were so savory. The artichoke was so tender and rich. The cookie was very enjoyable. Decor is old school with pictures of celebs on the walls, music playing and tvs featuring black and white classic movies. It's a popular spot as the tables were consistently turned over. Counter service was efficient and friendly and fast! Highly recommend! Pictures reveal that we couldn't wait to dig in! read more

My first time here but will definitely not be my last! I can't believe I've lived so close to this little slice of heaven! I ordered a pepperoni pizza with prosciutto and a Margherita pizza. The pepperoni with prosciutto pizza was rich, smoky, and perfectly salty with crispy edges that curled into little pockets of flavor. The dough had that beautiful airy chew with a slightly tangy, fermented taste that made every bite feel authentic and deeply satisfying. The crust was blistered golden and lightly charred with a crisp exterior that gave way to a soft pillowy center. The Margherita pizza was simple in the best possible way. It was fresh, bright, and incredibly balanced. The sauce tasted vibrant and slightly sweet, the mozzarella was creamy and delicate, and the basil added a fragrant finish that tied everything together. The dough again completely stole the show with its light texture, subtle sourdough flavor, and perfectly crisp bottom. The crust was rustic, fluffy, and beautifully caramelized. The ambiance was warm, lively, and inviting, making it easy to relax and enjoy the meal, but the customer service was even better. The staff was attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish, which made the entire experience feel memorable beyond just the food. Most definitely recommend!! read more

Customer service of the young lady Andrea was great but as my first time going here to try their famous WTF burger was really disappointed. We ordered two and they definitely did not look like the pictures on their social media. It barely had any sauce, was small and missing the baked ball that they show in the pic. read more

Delicious wood fired pizza. Small restaurant and small patio area for seating. Pizza came out fast and lavender lemonade was delicious! We had the WTF pizza which comes loaded with sausage, brisket, sautéed onions and lotsa meat and cheese. It was too big for the two of us to finish. Would definitely come back to try other pizzas and the desserts looked bomb! read more

I've really wanted to like this place over the years and left multiple reviews. Here's what it boils down to. They make a good, overpriced small/medium size pizza. Only one size and it isn't very big. I've watched their prices steadily go through the roof, up like 40% over a couple of years, making their pizza ridiculously unaffordable. $36 before tax for a WTF pizza is truly WTF! In the picture is shows it was $25 just a couple of years ago. Where does it stop? One guy can easily eat it. I have experienced them not answering their phone or closing early before stated business hours, ignored at their counter. Sonoma needs a good pizza place, but this ain't it unless you have lots of money, and feel lucky. I give this place two huge thumbs down and won't go there anymore. Strong NO. read more

WOW! Il Fuoco! Was driving by this afternoon and they had a sign at the sidewalk that said barbecue today and the smell blowing out of the back parking lot was too much to resist! Went in for a sandwich, asked what they recommended since I had never been there. He said definitely the 14 hour brisket. Brisket for me is hit or miss with me, so I often don't order it. But I took his advice. Let me just tell you, that is some of the most tender, flavorful and delicious brisket I've had in years. Beautiful smoke ring, melt in your mouth fat and not dried out! I am looking forward to going back and trying a pizza as they have an amazing woodfired pizza! Give it a try! read more

What a wonderful night to enjoy wood fire pizza. Ordering is simple, just decide what food and beverage you want, take a number and they make your food fresh. It wasn't chilly out once the sun began to set so we sat outside to catch the last bit of sunshine. The Arancini was a special, filled with black ink risotto and seafood. The sauce that was paired with it didn't seem to compliment the dish but the risotto was creamy and the outside was crispy. The mushroom pizza was very tasty, with fresh greens on top to give a lovely aroma and freshness. Definitely worth the stop if you want to try something outside of the downtown square in Sonoma. read more

Nice people, fast service, fair prices and one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Seeing the cook toss the pies to stretch, we knew we were in for a treat along with the classic pizzeria vibe inside with relics from Cochon volant BBQ hanging around. Ordered the mushroom pie with fennel, preserved lemons, onion, etc and it was crisp, delicious but the after taste of oak from the wood fire oven set it over the top. Can't wait to be back! read more

Not sure if this is a "hidden" gem or an IYKYK type situation, but we were lucky enough to meet Rob and have him cater our 3rd Anniversary celebration! The brisket and chicken...TO DIE FOR! Everyone over-ate and raved at the quality of the brisket & chicken. We hold a number of parties every year and know from experience how important the food is to an event's success. The service - from ordering, to delivery, to execution - was flawless! Rob was communicative and professional every step of the way. Being able to rely on this aspect is amazing and we will definitely use Rob and his team again! Simply cannot recommend this catering highly enough. read more

What's with the credit card surcharge fee?! Your pizza is already overpriced then you're including added hidden fees on top of the existing price gouging!? Pizza is good but not worth the price. Adding on additional fees will turn customers away. I probably won't be come back. read more

Wow, $27 before tax for a 12" mushroom and pepperoni pizza? but much worse that that, they placed the hot pizza with greasy chesse on the bottom,directly on the cardboard box for pickup! There was no parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent the PFC's (forever chemicals) from leaching into the crust/melted cheese. I would never order from them again for this reason alone. 2 stars for lots of greasy pepperoni and cheese that my partner liked. Not enough mushrooms and very thinly sliced.. hardly any at all. I almost forgot to add that the staff who picked up the phone said EVERYTHING was organic on the pizza. She said the cook even verified. Bull____ . I would bet nothing is organi unless it is listed on the menu. I'm taking off one star for fabricating that healthier ingredients are being used. read more

I used to love their pizza. Still makes the best crust in town! Delicious crust. But the toppings have changed. Too much cheese makes the pizza Americanized as compared to a more traditional Neapolitan style that is less heavy handed with the toppings. And since when do you put the cheese on top of the toppings? Yuck. read more

Mixed experience when I came here with my husband. I was glad he could order a gluten free pizza, and he liked his, but mine didn't turn out great. First, I had really wanted to try one of the specials that was listed on their website, including nectarines on the pizza, but when we arrived, it wasn't on the menu. I asked about it and the employee let me know they weren't offering it anymore. Disappointed, I asked about the lemon dessert that was on their website. They weren't offering that either. Why is their website out of date like that? Super disappointing. But I decided to go with the Prosciutto pizza, no onion. On the website (which no longer lists the nectarine pizza but does still list the lemon ricotta cheesecake), the pizza was listed with tomato, onion and fennel, fontina prosciutto. So when I tried it, I was surprised to discover it was spicy. I'm not tolerant of spicy food, but muddled through it best as I could, wondering what I did wrong. After our meal I went up to the desk and asked what, on my pizza, had been spicy. The employee said, "Oh, that's the chili oil." I was surprised, and pointed out that nowhere on the menu was chili oil listed on that pizza. The reply was, "We always make the Prosciutto pizza with chili oil." Which just baffles me... how would I know which pizzas are safe for me to eat if the main ingredients aren't all listed on the menu? anyway, if it hadn't had the oil on it, it would have been good. I took home the leftovers and used paper towels to soak up as much oil as I could and it was almost edible. I also ordered the mousse dessert and besides taking too long to come to our table, it was delicious. Strangely served in a mason jar with a spoon that just barely reached the bottom, it was rich and well made. That said, I doubt I'll return if I can't trust the menu to help me avoid spicy oils. :( read more

Thank God this place is closing. Mediocre food at best, overpriced, and a lunatic for an owner. Good riddance, and strike two in Sonoma.

Great little cozy spot. Pizza was one of the best we've had in the county, probably 2nd to Pizza Leah over the last few years. Little gem in Boyes Hot Springs, check it out. Wish it was a closer drive to us in Cotati. read more

Wow...just finished eating dinner...the food quality is top notch...sat outside and enjoyed the weather and chill music they were playing...we had two pizzas, Farmers market special (nectarine & Gorgonzola), and a gluten free Bill (tasty). In addition, had the Brussels, and meatballs. Then topped it off with their world class smoked ribs and fries. Super impressed. They also have deals on Mondays and Wednesdays, margherita pizza, salad, and a bottle of highway 12 wine for $45! We will definitely be taking advantage of that! Service was great too match read more

Brief, focused menu. This is a pizza place with a few other offerings. The Margherita pizza tonight was tasty. The dough is thin. Crispy on the edges, chewy in the middle. Tastes like there is some corn flour mixed in with the wheat. The tomato sauce was mild and fresh. The whole leaves of basil were big and fragrant. Very enjoyable. Truth be told a hungry adult man can eat a whole pizza and not feel stuffed afterwards. Cesar salad was basic and equaled the pizza in high quality and satisfaction. Crispy heart of Romaine lettuce, lightly dressed. Generous pile of freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top. Two small slices of the crunchiest crostini toasts on earth are included. Size just big enough for 2 adults to share. Small list of wines and beers. My lovely spouse, a self admitting wine snob, enjoyed a Zinfandel that she never knew. I had a draft pint of a locally made Kolsch beer that was also quite refreshing. Oh, I must mention that the food was delivered to our table within 4 minutes after we placed the order and paid for it. I was gob smacked by the practically instantaneous presentation. Had the home made apple pie for dessert. Was delicious. There are 5 large tables outside. Propane tower space heaters at every table. Dog friendly. Only 4 stars from me because 3 days ago I ate pizza in Windsor at Pizza Leah. That pizza blew me away with it's near perfection of creativity and deliciousness. I live closer to Sonoma than Windsor so I will eat here more frequently than Pizza Leah. And I won't suffer for it. Come, order, sit, enjoy. Life is good with real high quality pizza. read more

We have always loved this place back when it was Smokehouse. Although we were sad to see Smokehouse go, we were pleasantly surprised by how good the pizzas are. We haven't gone through the whole menu yet, unfortunately, since we have our favorites. We love the pesto chicken pizza, the prosciutto & roasted pear, and shrimp with pineapple. The crust itself is delicious and has just the right thickness (or thinness). The calamari and brussel sprouts are our favorite appetizers. We recently tried the roasted carrots but I think it has too much cinnamon that you don't taste the carrots at all. The chocolate moose has always been our favorite but the seasonal pies are excellent as well. I think we've had the peach with blueberries last summer. Lastly, we enjoy the ambiance very much. We walk from our house with our shy Husky who is always welcome to sit inside. Our usual spot is the bar-height counter facing the street. I wish I have pictures but who has time to take any when the food is so good! read more

I ordered out a prime Rib French dip sandwich which looked delicious on the photo that they displayed. The sandwich was tasty because the beef had a really wonderful fire pit type taste. However, it was not reminiscent of Prime Rib rare which I ordered. And for $22 I had expected a little more on the sandwich either in the way of meat or grilled onions, cheese, etc.. also for the size of the sandwich there was not enough dip to use. I will try them again and select a different item. read more

Do not drive by without stopping in. There is much more on the menu than their terrific pizzas-- seasonal salads, oven roasted veggies and lavender lemonade to name a few of our family's favorites. Weekend BBQ on F, Sa and Su from 12-6 pm features a criminally good BBQ pork sandwich with freshly pickled red onions and cole slaw. The BBQ sauce is not too sweet, with a gentle kick. The brisket and ribs are also tender and flavorful. And there's great music and old movies to boot. read more

Il Fuoco is the best pizza in Sonoma! The thin crust is perfect, and the ingredients are fresh and delicious. Our favorite pizza is "The Bill" with Calabrian chili, dates, taleggio, and guanciale. Sooooo good, spicy with a bit of sweet. All the salads are great but I particularly like the ceasar salad because they put a little horseradish in the dressing. My husband and I typically eat at the restaurant but it's also great as take-out. Chef Rob, and everyone who works there is wonderful. read more

Ordered a fennel sausage pizza - very tasty,but very soggy, the roasted artichoke - was a bit undercooked, but good, a little gem caesar - very good, and rancho gordo beans - not good, just a mushy mess. Also ordered the lemon ricotta cheesecake, which was good, and the chocolate mousse which we did not get. Some hits, but certainly some misses. Overall it was ok, just not great. read more

I love having a wood fired pizza spot so close. Every pizza we've had is creative and done very well. The chopped salad is a winner. HOWEVER, the meatballs are awful. Horrid. We've ordered them twice and both times, we were very disappointed. How do I put this? They don't taste like meat? They're mealy, maybe overcooked or maybe they're using super lean meat...like they're just breadcrumbs and herbs. And the red sauce is...wet? Watery? Idk man. Tastes like fennel flavored cardboard. They should hire me to assist on the meatball game because mine are phenomenal. Maybe they're vegan and I didn't check? read more
