    Margherita Pizza (couldn't wait to take a slice)

    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!!

    Margarita pizza, Misto salad, wine and olives! Perfecto!

    Great pizza perfect date night! Special through winter is a bottle of Highway 12 can sauv, a good sized margarita pizza and a yummy misto salad. For $45 plus tax and tip. Cannot be beat in Sonoma!

    WTF pizza
    Laura A.

    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!

    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.

    14 hour brisket, melt in your mouth delicious!
    Nick P.

    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!

    I ordered through door dash, but our food arrived fast and perfectly hot. The pizzas were amazing, the sides were great and the drink options were good. Perfect for a post wine tasting day evening in!

    Arancini Nero (special)
    Sean J.

    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.

    Fantastic!!!
    Jeff H.

    It's still awesome. Not a bad dish on the menu, great ambiance, friendly service, what else could you ask for?

    The burger I received.

    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.

    Clam and shrimp

    Food is always amazing but this time I want to give a big shout out to the staff who is always nice and attentive. We are locals and tonight we got there 30 minutes before closing and the staff was welcoming and always their best.

    This restaurant serves incredible food! The chatarelle pizzas and apple pies were both divine. My sister was particularly fond of the barbecue ribs.

    Smoked Brisket

    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.

The smell of truffle and heat from the fresh fry immediately hits your nose and sense as you raise them to take a bite. Quite possibly some of the best gourmet onions rings I've ever had. They may be a bit oily but the way they're fried doesn't make them feel heavy. We had a bit of a long wait but the staff were friendly and accommodating. Outdoor seating is very nice, especially weather permitting. Our service afterwards was also sublime. The staff work efficiently and are also quite funny. My dog also came along and sat with us outside, nice to see some dog friendly places!

We got 3 pizzas to share, a pepperoni, arrabiatta, and the potato pie. The potato pie was my favorite. It had blue and golden potatoes and the onion and bacon rounded out the flavor well. The pepperoni was solid and the arrabiatta was the groups overall favorite. We asked for a ranch for each person, not realizing they came in larger portions in bowls, so we were very happy as a ranch loving table, but something to keep in mind. One ranch portion can definitely be shared between two people. An overall nice spot to come for a casual dinner with friends and/or family.

So crispy and garlicky! And, the kitchen (plus our amazing server Gustavo!!) was kind enough to make a custom pesto cavatelli for me because I didn't want the cavatelli with morel mushrooms! I will be thinking about the texture of this pasta + the pistachio pesto for a long time. They kept the corn pudding of the original dish at the bottom and it was such a good combination of flavors. I got chicken added on top. I got an espresso martini with gin; pretty good, just wished there was a bit more espresso flavor. Probably would order one of their house cocktails instead next time. Lastly we had the stone fruit cobbler with ice cream and a pine nut/pistachio brittle. Unlike any other cobbler I've ever had. Perfection of different textures. Also, we had the duck fat fries on another day; they were delightfully crispy and lightly seasoned with garlic. The ranch it came with was so yummy and definitely dill-forward. I'd definitely come back! Thank you for your hospitality.

The Parker house rolls looked a lot more impressive than they tasted. Over salted on top. Airy texture inside but weirdly chewy in a Wonder bread goopy way. Not a pleasing mouth feel. After just 15 minutes on our table they were stale. Bambie ordered salmon. Nice hunk, probably 7 ounces. Pink and fleshy. Moist. Gently cooked. Sides were garden fresh vegetables. I ate the 1/2 chicken. Airline cut. It was a little pullet, maybe 6 ounces. Cooked well. The spicy red sauce that was under the bird was outstanding. I'd be perfectly happy to have a plate of spaghetti with this sauce. The crunchy fingerling potatoes were fun at first, but as the meal went on I couldn't finish them. They were too oily and too salty. Dessert was the recommended cheesecake. Righteous. The exterior of the big slice had a mild Crème brûlée texture and the cake itself was a heavenly cloud. The poached strawberries were the perfect accompaniment. So, is this a 5 star meal & experience? No. i put it in the casual sort'a fine dining box. Last night I ate at The Girl and the Fig on the Sonoma town square. That meal was much more delicious for significantly less money. Tourists who are overly impressed with Michael Mina will be happy here. Locals like me who grew up eating at Sondra Bernstein's several restaurants over the years will be even happier.

For $20, I think the order should include at least 8-10 wings. You get six (the sixth one is hiding under the garnish in my photo ), and one of them was noticeably smaller than the others. They were so good that I just wished there had been more! Overall, I really enjoyed my visit. Between the charming atmosphere, friendly service, and those unforgettable wings, I'd definitely come back again. Next time, I'll probably skip the bread and go straight for another order of those wings!

In 1959, family matriarch Mary Fazio opened up a "shack" serving up Italian homemade comfort food. That shack was in nearby Boyes Hot Springs.

My go to faves are the pizza and Mary's house salad. But I've never had anything I didn't like from them. The pizza when baked right has a crust with a nice chew and perfect combination of crisp exterior and soft interior. They use quality ingredients. I like that they use the traditional pepperoni with natural casing, it curls up into little cups when baked. Taste all so good. Mmm. Terrific, classic cheese stretch. Pizza sauce is housemade, as is the Sonoma salad dressing. I order that dressing with the signature salad which is another fave of mine. The late weekday afternoon I dropped in, our waiter was enthusiastic and engaging. But possibly due to staffing levels, he forgot to provide plates for the pizza he dropped off and the other items we requested (napkins, refills, the check). We asked the waiter that was assigned to the neighboring tables. Our waiter was covering other tables on the opposite side of the restaurant along with our table.
