Seven item sampler
Susan B.

Feeling nostalgic after your trip to Portugal? This cute little spot has some tasty white sardines over hard boiled eggs, bacalao fritters, seafood salad with white beans that made me like I was there. I never noticed peri peri potato fries with an aioli there, but it was delicious as was the linguiça. Four people shared eight items, and then we ordered repeats of the bacalao and sardines and tried the chicken wings. The servers were friendly and attentive, but there was no one working at the bar. They did have wines available.

What a delicious display of treats. Every bite was awesome

I took my daughter here for dinner and we were delighted with the quality of the food and service. With one drink each, our total bill was $125 including tip of 20% that makes it competitive in the landscape of fine dining around the plaza area. We got the seven tapas deal, and everything included was just delicious as we were able to pick from a fairly large menu of items. It's well worth a try.

Piri piri chicken wings and shishito peppers with smoked sausage

Everything was perfect! Make a reservation because this place gets busy. 7 items is more than enough for 2 hungry diners. Everything we ordered was incredible! House picked veggies, kale salad with anchovy dressing, marinated squid salad, shishito peppers with smoked sausage, sardine pate, piri piri chicken wings. But the goat stew was the star. You must order this!! The restaurant is cozy without feeling cramped. The atmosphere is casual, clean, comfortable. The server was really nice and offered me a taste of wine before I committed to a glass of a varietal I'd never tried before. Glad she did because my first pick was too fruity for me.

Tasca Tasca is a cute little tapas restaurant in Sonoma. We had the Mac n cheese, sausage, empanadas and bbq pork slider. The flavors were good and we really enjoyed the Mac n cheese. The fifth item was their chocolate mousse. The whipped cream on top was sour, like it was going bad, but the mousse was good. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner for the most part, but the price for what you get isn't there.

Chouriçinhos/shishitos, smoked duck breast, goat stew, Bacalhau, boquerones

Oooh what a gem! Great rec from a local friend - just off Sonoma plaza. We came on a rainy winter NYE for lunch and could just walk in but reservations also available. Super cute space, we got our choice of bar or tables. Tons of great dishes coming out for surrounding diners. Service was very friendly and timely. We opted for the 5-item platter to start and felt it was good for the 2 of us, but we probably could have ordered more if we felt indulgent. We tried these and would get them all again. Bacalhau Boquerones Goat stew Chouriçinhos/shishitos Smoked duck breast Obviously great wine list but we were on our way to a couple tastings so held off here.

Really enjoyed this tapas restaurant . . . Everyone seems to suggest The Girl and The Fig when I visit Sonoma, but I tried it once and found the service was a big disappointment. Tasca Tasca, however, has both great food and great service so I would definitely recommend this to vacationers and residents alike. The menu at first sounded a bit daunting for a pescatarian (i.e., duck, pork sausage, tripe, steak tartare, GOAT stew, etc.) but I was pleasantly surprised that they offered modifications to dishes and even had a printed list of items they could adjust to make vegetarian or vegan. Items are served tapas style on a board in separate, small dishes and pans so the presentation is quite nice. The Lupini Beans were a fun find and became a quick favorite for me. They are similar to hominy but more flavorful and with a little pop when you bite into them. The Escargot was surprisingly bland but there were many other delicious items we tried: Roasted Beet Salad, Piri Piri Potatoes, Shishito Peppers, Mac & Cheese, Potatoes with Truffle Butter and Shrimp Empadas. The sangria was really delicious and the Port flight was something I hadn't seen on a menu before. Overall a nice, fresh experience.

First off, the restaurant is beautiful, very clean, comfortable seating, just amazing! I've been to a lot of Portuguese restaurants, my husband is Portuguese and his mom cooks the most delicious Portuguese food, this place did not disappoint. My favorite was the shrimp ceviche, and the cod, but everything was top notch! Just delicious! Service was fine, they could work on being a bit more friendly.

Tapas to share
Imee V.

Cute and intimate Portuguese tapas - no frills place in Sonoma. The perfect spot to share a meal with friends. We ordered just the right amount of food, libations and dessert to nibble on without the guilt. Enjoyed the personable service, establishment. Thank you!

Thank you note from Chef Manuel
Teev R.

A quaint, tapas restaurant in Sonoma, Tasca Tasca is a perfect spot for lunch in between tastings! Setting: Cozy Portuguese tavern aesthetic with warm wood tones and a relaxed, lively atmosphere. Service: The waitstaff was busy, and it was understandably tough to get their attention. The homemade caramels at the end from the chef were a sweet touch. Food: Flavor-packed and thoughtfully plated. The peri peri chicken was juicy with the right kick, oysters fresh and briny, cucumber gazpacho refreshing and bright. Loved the refreshing feta salad and crispy patatas bravas. Flan was smooth, rich, and the perfect sweet note to end on.

Chocolate mousse
Jamey A.

Tapas were excellent and we look forward to going back the next time we visit! For two people, we think that 5 or 7 tapas is the perfect amount of food.

Rain or shine my friends & I drove to Sonoma for the sale event & even had a wine tasting at Buena Vista today. Later we asked the staff for the favorite restaurants in Sonoma downtown. He wrote a few and two of them I had dined already years ago. We opted Tasca Tasca for tapas just off Sonoma Plaza. It was past 3 pm when we arrived at the restaurant, no reservation just walked in. Nice restaurant & we got our choice of table. I saw the sign on the wall that read Sousa's Restaurant and we got confused because we were not sure if we were at the right restaurant but we were. It was formerly owned by Sousa's and its historic sign was acquired by the chef Manuel Azevedo of T&T. The server asked if we ate here before & we said it was our first time. We asked for cold water only to drink. She helped us in our decision on the menu. We ordered the 7 items for $62 which was great for sharing with friends! We had Steak Tartare, Raw Oysters, Shrimp Empada, Chourico & Peppers, Pork Slider, Goat Stew, & Escargot. Service was friendly & timely. The Portuguese tapas were served cute in small plates. However, my friends & I tasted the escargot & sauce were salty. They were tiny hard chewy tidbits. The tiny oysters were not too fresh & plump. The shrimp empada was kind of dark like on the verge of burning. I was hoping it would be golden brown & crispy or with softer, flakier crusts like on their website. The server said they were always dark but I tasted empadas but not like this. The rest were good food. The server kept on checking on us. If we return, we will try the other tapas on the menu. I recommend this restaurant for light meals.

Portuguese Olive Oil Ice Cream
Dan W.

Portugal Found a Home in Sonoma: Just off the square in Sonoma sits a little gem that punches far above its weight: Tasca Tasca. It's cozy, open-kitchen charm hits you the second you walk in--staff buzzing, pans sizzling, and the aroma of garlic, saffron, and wine whispering you're in the right place. This isn't your average tapas spot. Think Portuguese soul food done with precision and heart. Every dish we had felt curated, balanced, and steeped in tradition with just enough flair to surprise you. Standouts? All of them. Kale salad with anchovy dressing--umami meets crunch, humble but addictive. best presentation and taste I've had with kale in some time. Monterey squid with white beans--tender, rustic, coastal perfection. Boquerones--bright, briny, almost kissed with vinegar on a hard boiled egg. Steak tartare--rich, vibrant, and not shy with seasoning. Saffron piri-piri potatoes--like a hug from Lisbon's spice rack. Don't miss the aioli it's on the bottom. Hints of saffron awaken any taste buds still napping. Goat stew--slow-cooked, fall-apart, earthy magic. And then our dessert choice knocked us flat: Portuguese olive oil ice cream and a chocolate mousse--what even is that flavor combo? Unholy? Divine? Either way, it works. BOOM. But the real kicker--the sangria. Easily the best I've ever had. Pomegranate and passionfruit with just the right balance of sweet and tart, layered and lush. A drink worth driving for. Tasca Tasca doesn't shout. It just does everything right. From the friendly, knowledgeable staff to the warm atmosphere and that clear love of food--it's the kind of place you tell your friends about and secretly hope they never make a reservation before you do. Highly, highly recommended. This is a taste trip worth taking. Cheers and thank you!

Empanadas, sardine pate, goat stew, ceviche, gazpacho, chicken wings, duck
Lexi R.

3.5 stars for us! We've come here twice now and both visits were decent but nothing quite stood out to us. The first time around we sampled 5 dishes. This time, we tried seven. The empanadas are delish and probably our favorite thing here. I like the red pepper mayo that it comes with. The goat stew is tender and cooked well, but with the gamey flavor of goat, we realized that we prefer goat with a sauce/curry of some sort. The soup of the day was a refreshing cucumber gazpacho that was great for a warm summer evening. The sardine pate, ceviche, and chicken wings were decent. Nothing to write home to. The duck reminded of bacon for whatever reason. The caramels that they give at the end of the meal are sooo good! So soft and gooey rather than chewy!

Sooo yummy!!!

We came in and stood around 5-8 minutes waiting for the hostess to even arrive, which I thought was a bit strange. When we were sat, we got a small table near the kitchen. We did also wait a while to get someone at our table and then we got a pretty chill surfer like dude who helped us maneuver the menu, etc. We started off with a glass of Chardonnay and they did have a great wine selection. We ordered the tomato toast to start and it may have been the best bite I had my whole Napa/Sonoma trip. I would recommend ordering TWO of these, they were that good. We also tried the yellowtail sashimi item with the passion fruit which was quite tasty but the tomato toast was the star of the show. For our mains we got the crispy rice and the halibut with the tomato curry, both which were recommended by our waiter. I thought both were decent - the crispy rice had good flavor but was inconsistent in the crispiness- some pieces were rock hard and others were just right, definitely too crunchy if you have sensitive teeth. The halibut dish was nice, it did have a good flavor but I just think I personally dont love halibut. Overall a good spot - reminded me of restaurants in Richmond,VA. Would like to come back for brunch or try more items.

I had the $60 Texture Flight, featuring Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, while my spouse opted for the $70 Repris Flight. Lindsay was a good wine educator, knowledgeable, engaging, and unhurried. Since we visited midweek, we were given time to linger and enjoy the experience. The $30 cheese and charcuterie board was actually a pretty good value, although the five Rustic Bakery crackers allotted felt pretty insufficient. An additional cheese selection and some good bread would have made it feel more balanced. There were some really annoying flies in the tasting room, which were difficult to keep off our board. The wines were good and the education component was excellent. But at $60 to $70 per tasting, plus food charges, the value was not quite there for us. I'd give it 3.5 to 4 stars. A nice place to linger in Sonoma, particularly if you appreciate a tasting room on the town square, thoughtful wine education & strong AC on a hot Sonoma summer day.

You feel the warmth when you walk in. Carlo was a very kind and charming tasting room manager. He knows the wines, grapes and regions very well and captivates you with each story of the bottle he is pouring. He even explains the glassware. There are 3 different wine flights to try and you can taste by the class. The bar can also accommodate a flight that suits your preference. I was looking for an all red flight, and Carlo happily created one for me that I would for sure enjoy. For Designated Drivers, there are two non-alcoholic sparkling wines from Italy to try so no one feels left out. The tasting menu has light bites to complement the wines such as a charcuterie board, cheese plates, and chips. Carlo lets you know what goes well with the wine you're having. And for after tasting, a variety of coffees. The wines I tried were all delicious. I purchased 3 bottles. (Note: You can ask for a "dump bucket" but you don't need one because the wines are very good.) 1. Old Vine Rosé - So good and very popular that they have it on tap! 2. Whole Hog - A delicious Rhône! 3. Eleve Cabernet - drinks like a Bordeaux. When in Downtown Sonoma, please stop by and give them a try. It's a nice break from shopping or a good place to sit and chat with friends for the afternoon.

Not sure if we'll return any time soon, if we do will stay away from the mussels.
