We were wine tasting at Ferrari - carano winery and was craving some Italian foods and boy ! This place did not disappoint. I had dinner at Serene the other day and the foods here was way more delicious ! Love their garlic bread, spaghetti and clam with white wine. So delicious. The beef carpaccio was delicious as well, a definite try. Our severe was attentive and made our lunch enjoyable. The place have a bar on one side where you can sit relax and enjoy. Catelli offer one free comp wine corkage and $20 for a second bottle which is so sweet of them. read more

Catelli's - Spaghetti and Clams :)) - New American Near Me - Geyserville, California

Had the opportunity to visit for dinner on a busy Saturday evening. Bread was excellent, carpacio was even better. The food and service were outstanding. Beautiful place to spend an evening. My respects to the family for doing a wonderful job with everything. read more

Heard many great things about this spot but unfortunately it didn't really live up to the hype. Catelli's is a family Italian known for their lasagna and other pasta dishes. We started with a few cocktails. Ordered a spicy margarita - over the top spicy and not well balanced. Beef carpaccio was just ok, not particularly flavorful. Then we split the chicken parm, lasagna with the meat sauce and ravioli with Dominicas sauce. The best of the bunch was the lasagna- pasta is very thin and was very tasty. Overall, decent spot but overhyped. read more

I think I found my new favorite restaurant in Sonoma. The Montage cannot hold a candle to the quality of this meal. This place has a farm to table feel; garden ambience, dishes with depth of flavor and each meal was truly first-rate. read more

Catelli's is thirty minute drive from the house, so it's not a spot we frequent, but it sure is well worth it when we do. Our server this evening was a very pleasant woman named Tiffany, and it's more than obvious why she's been here for fourteen years. She had me at "hello." She knows the menu and she had recommendations. This kind of attentive service "everything." Then came the food. Garlic bread, beet salad, chicken parmesan, and steak medallions. All done as they should have been. We'll see ya again soon. Thank you for the experience. read more

My husband had been hearing about Catelli's having a "top 10 lasagna in the US", so we had to check it out. It's located in quaint Geyserville, a wine country town with a two block downtown. Reservations on Resy only had 4:30 pm and 7:15 pm on a Sunday night so we took the later and arrived around 6:30 in case they could seat us earlier. We decided to have a cocktail at the historic bar while we waited. We wanted to sit outside though they said we could have been seated inside right away. When I peeked at the outdoor patio, it was half empty! Needless to say, we were seated within 15 minutes outside on the black and white checkered patio under shady umbrellas. We started with the garlic bread ($10.50) sourdough with house-made garlic butter and cheesy parmesan. It was soft and buttery and delicious. We both ordered the famous lasagna ($28), which had 10 thin layers of hand-made pasta, organic tomato sauce, ricotta and herb cheese filling. The sauce was meaty with a different spice to it but very good. Not top 10 (that goes to Gold Mirror in SF) but tasty nonetheless. We took about half home as it was filling. Our waitress was very nice but not too attentive and we had to ask the bus boy for a second glass of wine. There were a few large parties she was attending to but bartenders just sitting around outside. They have a good wine list with most glasses about $13-15 each. I would opt for the outdoor patio again and they have music on Thursdays during the summer. We will definitely return and try some other specials. read more

So my wife and I went to Catellis for our wedding anniversary. We went in with some pretty high expectations being "blue collar" people. We'll, let me tell you that our staff.... was on point! Faith, our waitress was attentive and amazingly personable! Her back up, Gabe and Elias (sp) were absolutely awesome. We waited and wanted for nothing! Food was on point! Thank you, we will be back again! read more

Wow wow wow - what a delightful find in Geyserville! One of the best Italian restaurants I've visited and I should be glad I live too far to eat here every night to avoid massive weight gain. My favorite item was actually the truffle fries - they are hand cut, perfectly crispy on outside - sprinkled with herbs, drizzled with truffle oil and given a splash a lemon for freshness. The famous lasagna lived up to big expectations- you can have it vegetarian or with meat sauce, which is nice. All pastas were perfectly cooked and accompanied. I didn't love the special menu item - spring pea edamame - it's cooked/eaten exactly like edamame but to me, spring pea should stay fresh and I didn't love the use of older spring pea shells as edamame. They have a wonderful, pet friendly outdoor patio (in the back) - that is covered, shaded and provides heat lamps in the evening. It is surrounded by well groomed garden of plants and herbs. Our entire experience was very pleasant - including the restrooms, which were large individual rooms - very clean and comfortable. Even the baby changing station had emergency diapers provided. Service was attentive and friendly. I loved the restaurant provides chilled share plates for cold dishes like salads and warmed share plates for hot dishes like pastas. Superb attention to detail here. We found free street parking in front but there is also a small lot nearby. Tip - they do provide bread service on request, the basil tomato sweet butter with warm bread should not be missed. read more

Again, another excellent experience! Many GF option and they are very accommodating to those with celiac, as they even offer GF garlic bread! Yummy for anyone. I'm a ravioli lover and they accommodated my request for a mix of meat and cheese raviolis, with some of the best meat sauc I've ever had. Considering it was the evening before Valentines, we got in right away, and enjoyed the peacefulness of the cabanas with heaters. Catelli's Rex never disappoints! read more

This was our first visit to Catelli's and we were looking forward to Italian food at a new place. We just returned from a visit to Italy so our expectations were a challenge to meet. The restaurant met expectations on all levels. Each of the three entrees we had were excellent. The minestrone, beet salad and garlic bread appetizers were equally great. We enjoyed the wine list of local wines. The server did a nice job and the host made us feel welcome. All in, a most enjoyable experience, very nice for our first dining out since our trip. read more

Tried Catelli's for the first time last night for my wife's birthday. Good decision! Mike's pasta was fabulous. Mushroom sauce out of this world. Daughter had chicken parm and loved it. Wife's steak cooked perfectly (great polenta). Service excellent. Catelli's is on our return to list for sure. read more

Food was amazing , great service !!! Will be back . Bit out dated design . That's all

I've been a diner at Catelli's for 73 years, that I can remember. There have been ups and downs, mostly ups over the years. For the last year or so, it's been better than ever. Thankfully, many of Virginia's recipes are still on the menu, like the minestrone that never fails me. Today a friend and I enjoyed another wonderful lunch experience. Outstanding food! Chicken Parmesan, a clam and prawn sauté with the best garlic bread in Sonoma County. Affogato? Yes, please. As always, the room was filled with folks enjoying the holiday atmosphere. The staff, once again, was outstanding. Victory is a thoughtful and accomplished server. Today we met June. She's lively, and fun, and professional. Both are invaluable additions to the staff. Thank you! read more

We had a an amazing time at Catelli's. This was my second time here and both times were delicious. Last time we shared the kale salad, lasagna and mushroom pasta. That kale salad is my favorite, I still think about it. the lasagna was incredible. Flavorful and somehow light with those thin noodles. Hubs enjoyed his mushroom pasta and I was almost going to get it on my second visit but had too much pasta that week so I went steak. It was so tender and rich, I had no regrets. We started with the burrata and prosciutto app, with and extra side of bread. I don't why most restaurants don't give enough bread to eat the whole dish. Man the bread was so good, people were eating it unadorned, so still not enough bread lol. Is there really ever enough bread though? Any how, my friends had desserts and they were delightful, I was just so full. Overall service was spot on, attentive and friendly. We felt well taken care of and it was a busy Saturday night so that says a lot. Oh I would be remiss if I did not mention the lovely dirty martini that kicked off dinner. Hit all the right notes. Can't wait to go back! read more

The food was great and the service was as well. The basil in the caesar salad was a nice addition, and the garlic bread was very soft. It wasn't super garlicky but I liked it that way. The steak tasted very good, and the ravioli was a very large portion. The deserts were both delicious, but the lemon bar stood out. read more

We went here last week as a birthday present for my husband, and it couldn't have been a better decision to go there. However, it was a little warm, so we decided to eat inside. It was more relaxed. They had a lovely outdoor area with a black-and-white checkered tile floor, umbrellas, and heating elements, but it was hot that day. There was no need for any of that, but if you needed it, it would be there. When you first walk into the restaurant there is a huge bar and you could eat or drink there if you wanted rather than wait for a table, the rustic in the bar area, though. when you come into the restaurant dinning area it's contemporary, pretty and elegant. We went there with my son and his wife and had an absolutely beautiful meal. The meatball sliders were our appetizers. They were super delicious and a definite favorite of the whole family. My son and I got the chicken Parmesan, and to be quite honest, I have ordered chicken Parmesan 1 million times and stopped ordering it quite a few years ago because of having so many that were done so badly, but my son assured me that I would not be disappointed and he was correct. It was delicious and flavorful, and the chicken was moist. The sauce was perfect. I couldn't eat it all but happily finished it the next day. The birthday boy got chicken piccata, and he loved it. I have to say it was really good, but I'm still sticking with my chicken Parmesan. It was amazing. We also ordered that kale salad, which I've never had before. It had some sort of fruit in there, along with croutons and Parmesan. The whole family loved it. The service we received that day was absolutely perfect. So I must say there is no way I'm not coming back to this restaurant. That Chicken Parmesan will get me back here every time. By the way, it's a perfect restaurant for a romantic dinner, whether inside or outside. I love the outside patio, They have a beautiful white bar, but unfortunately, it wasn't open that day. I think it was too warm, but I must say that it is the perfect patio for a romantic dinner. They also do events during the summer with live music, and I'm pretty sure that's when they open that beautiful white bar outside. Now, that sounds like a good time to me. Cheers to you, clink clink SYOY read more

Amazing food, great service and fantastic atmosphere. We even took to go for parents two hours away.

Attended an office party, it was a large group and the staff did a remarkable job of taking care of us all. We had wine, chicken parmesan = lasagna and a beautiful salad. For dessert there was bread pudding and tiramisu! Great job during the holiday season. We will be back. read more

My wife and I went to Catelli's on a friend's recommendation. Reservations were made but wine tasting came first at Jason Keys and Seghesio wineries. While talking to the two servers, we told them that we were going to Catelli's for dinner. The compliments and food recommendations for the restaurant came fast and furious. On a recommendation we started and shared the kale salad. Not being a big fan of kale, I was skeptical of it but it was so good. The citrus fruit that was in the salad complemented it well. I'm certainly ordering this again. For dinner my wife had the halibut and I had the clams and spaghetti in a white sauce. My wife said that the crust on halibut was a pistachio crust and it was delicious with the arugula and risotto. She said it the dish was full of flavor. My spaghetti and clams were some of the best that I've had. The pasta and clams were cooked perfectly, with plenty of clams in the bowl and all with the right amount of chilli flakes for some heat. The staff was very helpful and hospitable, but I want to give a separate shout out to our server, Faith. She was welcoming and took great care of us. She made great recommendations and was very attentive. We will certainly be back on our next wine tasting trip read more

First time at Catelli's. My wife and I went for dinner tonight. I've been wanting to go for a while. I've heard so many people say such great things I think my expectations were a bit too high. The ambiance and service were excellent. I was a bit disappointed in the menu. It is a bit of a small limited menu. Nothing really jumped out to me. I ordered the minestrone and lasagna. The minestrone was excellent! One of the best I've had. The lasagna with meat sauce was also good but it was different. The layers of lasagna were so paper-thin there was no texture. There was nothing but cheese and it was kind of mushy. The flavor was good. I enjoyed the meat sauce but I probably wouldn't order that again. read more

We last went to Catelli's years ago and stopped by for dinner with two other couples. We made reservations beforehand. When we showed up we were seated outside. The outside is a large well landscaped courtyard surrounded by plants and flowers. It was a hot day but they have plenty of large umbrellas in the dining area. We ordered two salads, a bowl of minestrone soup, garlic bread and water. Not really exciting but we just came from a wine-tasting and food event and had eaten small bites before coming to Catelli's. Our friends ordered spaghetti with clams, and lasagna both the regular and spicy sauce. Our salads were large and the soup was in a medium-sized bowl. The garlic bread was your standard garlic bread and was hot and tasty. We both loved our Catelli's salad with a tomato-based homemade dressing that had a nice tang to it. My wife liked her minestrone soup and would order it again. Both friends liked their lasagna with one saying it was good but not great and the other said it was great. Mixed review. We ordered a Noble Sundae, our friends ordered a Tiramisu and a fruit crisp. The Sundae had pistachio cherry and vanilla ice cream with salted caramel, candied pecans and crispy prosciutto which caught my attention. It also came with a dollop of whipped cream. My wife and I loved the dessert and the crispy prosciutto tasted like bits of bacon. The tiramisu was a big hit as well and the fruit crisp was really good but not a standout. I would order it when we go back but it would not be on the top of my list. I keep forgetting about Catelli's because of the distance from where we live but I really like it and will be back again. read more

I will tell you what, it's been almost a decade since I last reviewed and I just went this past weekend and nothing has changed other than they are still killing it!! I'm still Celiac, still love gluten but it doesn't love me. They have an entire MENU for options that include all kinds of options not just 1 noodle choice and a salad. I was feeling loved and seen while we dined on Friday night. We didn't have a reservation but we're able to walk in during close to prime time as a party of 4. Waited just a few minutes and we were seated. Two folks in my party had never been so it was a fantastic first experience for them and a repeat for those of us know remember the goodness. We ordered truffle fries for the table, kale salad to share, and we each ordered our own mains. I ordered the mushroom sauce with spaghetti noodles (gluten free) and bought into the gluten free garlic bread. I can't say enough how refreshing it is to feel like I have choices when I'm locked out of so much within Italian cuisine. Everyone was super friendly, pricing is appropriate to expectations and what they deliver. This spot is a solid Sonoma County establishment that brings history and charm to the table. Thanks for such a wonderful reminder how delicious and welcoming Catelli's is to ALL diners. read more

This restaurant is our "to go" place when we have visitors. The food is great and the staff very friendly - especially Tiffany.

First let me start off with the service, it was beyond excellent. From the first person we encountered to the last they were all fantastic. Our server Cameron was amazing. He was super attentive and personable. I would go back just to have him as a server again. Now the food. The food was excellent all around. We started with the burrata plate, then the beet salad, lasagna and finally the fruit crisp. The portions were generous and we ended up bringing some home. We sat outside on the beautiful patio listening to live music. It was an overall epic evening. Can't wait to come back. read more

Most excellent spot. Wow. My wife and I loved it for our 10th anniversary. The tiramisu was to die for.

They have a great bar and a nice wine list but we did not have a great visit because we were so disappointed by the food. My wife ordered the eggplant parmesan and it came out WAY undercooked. We sent it back and it came back piping hot...and still WAY undercooked. I'm Italian-American, a cook, and I can tell you: it was not well prepared or thought out. It was a baby eggplant, cut in half, so it looked cute, but it never got fully cooked. Nothing we had for dinner was all that memorable, so keep your expectations low. The hosting was also kind of edgy and could offer up a few more smiles and some warmth. Also, THE PLACE TO EAT AND DRINK AT CATELLI'S IS THE PATIO, which is beautiful and usually has some great live music. read more

I had high hopes for Catelli's due to the reviews but I was slightly underwhelmed by the food and menu options. The menu offers it's array of traditional Italian dishes but the menu presented didn't specify gluten free or vegetarian options and there were limited salad/health conscious entrees to choose from. (I realized when writing this review the online menu does specify gluten free/dietary restrictions however it's not on their printed menu). For dinner I went with the chicken piccata and while the dish was rich in flavor the chicken itself had an over cooked texture to it. I had a few bites and boxed the rest. After dinner I ordered the bread pudding which was simply okay. I didn't fully finish my dessert or dinner which felt like a first for me. Of everything I ordered the only thing I throughly enjoyed and finished was my glass of zin. Overall I have a hard time seeing what the hype is about in regards to the food but I can see all the hype for the restaurants ambiance and service. Despite my heavy opinion on the food, the service at Catelli's is positively worth noting. Staff was friendly and attentive and that's always appreciated. read more

The restaurant is adorable. Super cozy, friendly staff and great service! The food was a bit disappointing. We both ordered ravioli as i have read reviews that they are paper thin. Not true in our experience. They were very al dente and tough. The meat filling however was very tasty. The mushroom sauce was delicious but the butter sauce was more of an Alfredo sauce which I wasn't expecting. I would give it another try, maybe we just ate there on an off night. read more

Happy birthday dinner. We came here to celebrate my birthday and to experience the wonderful cuisine. The building is beautiful and offers a traditional welcoming vibe. As we walked through the indoor dining area into the garden setting --we could feel the excited vibes of the those already dining. Not to mention we read that this was an Impressive third generation iconic restaurant located in the heart of Sonoma County. We were also impressed with the Alice in Wonderland decor and whimsical lush garden. The menu highlights ingredients from local and organic farmers as well as over 100 local wines and they source their ingredients locally and organically. So-of course-we were excited to experience this Italian affiar for ourselves. We wanted everything on menu but finally decided to share the: Kale Salad, Organic kale, lemon, orange, crushed croutons, crushed walnuts, Parmesan & Dry Creek Olive Oil, the Burrata and Prosciutto Triple-cream mozzarella, San Daniele Prosciutto, grilled bread, and baby arugula with Dry Creek Olive Oil, the famous Lasagna, and Catelli's Ravioli classic 3-Meat filling or Cheese filling made with Bellweather farms fresh ricotta. Everything was perfection. Perks: Large bar, various seating selections, and beautiful decor. Service: Exceptional service. We brought our own Champagne. Corkage fee was $10.00. Note: Parking is scarce-so arrive early. Recommended: Make a reservation. We were thankful we did because as we walked out there was a line out the door waiting to try to get in without reservations. Wow! read more

Catelli's is my favorite place to eat!!! Such great food a must try!! The burrata ,hanger steak and homemade raviolis are my favs mmmmm yum!

It's been a long time since I've left a restaurant and immediately started trying to find an excuse to book my next reservation. But Chef Domenica Catelli and the entire team at Catelli's achieved this, and then some! Knowing that this was a special dinner for me and my friends visiting from out of town, the service team welcomed us with an incredible surprise of fresh prosciutto, house made burrata, arugula and toasted bread along with the sweetest welcome note. What a way to start! When you think home style Italian in America, many of us think rich sauces, heavy entrees, and large portions. While the third point couldn't be more true her(thanks to my friend Annie for the leftover pasta!) our entrees were full of flavor, made with fresh local ingredients and so nice and light that we couldn't help sharing amongst the three of us. My friends had the fresh pasta with butter and cheese (simplicity at its finest), Chef Domenica's famous lasagna (not your grandmas lasagna.. and I mean that in the best way possible!) and I had the Chicken Parmigiana served in a cast iron skillet. Gorgeous presentation, beautifully cooked crispy chicken, and a delicate topping of fresh mozzarella and a light, yet savory tomato sauce. Since we weren't completely stuffed from our meal, we opted for two desserts to share, the chocolate molten cake with rich (yes, this one was rich... and the crowd favorite!) dark chocolate and the tiramisu which was equally delicious. The meal was paired with five-star service from the entire team, from our server (I'm kicking myself for forgetting his name but he was a young gentleman and exemplified wine country hospitality to a T) to the manager who graciously came to check on us at the end of the meal. And yes, the wine did flow from the bottle of local Dry Creek Valley Pinot that we all shared. As a local Santa Rosan who should have gone to Catelli's a long time ago when I moved out here, I recommend you don't just walk, but run, to Catelli's on your next visit to Geyserville. From the intimate decor to the classic Italian fare and warm, gracious service, you'll be ready to plan your next visit as well! read more

Catelli's, kinda odd that I have not reviewed Catelli's. We have been numerous times, one of my favorites and Go to items at Catelli's is their spaghetti and clam dish, the flavor is spot on... the serving size is smaller than what I am used to in ordering this dish, although there were a good number of clams. Also on this trip I got the dessert, was a fruit crisp dessert, while I was trying to go low sugar (I opted for no ice cream), probably would have made it a better dish, the crumble topping was a bit on the soggy side, so didnt get the crisp. I also want to mention a dish that we have had in the past, but did not have this time--- the burrata, arugula and prosciutto--- on crostini--- We loved that dish so much, that we duplicated it and now eat it regularly at home. The service was and is always spot on! Ambiance is very nice inside and out, with plenty of outdoor seating. read more
