We walked a mile from our hotel to…read moreEddie's for dinner because it had great reviews and, hell, who doesn't love a late summer evening walk? We finally got there around 8pm. Walked in to a completely empty restaurant and two employees sitting at the bar on their phones. They exchanged knowing glances, then the guy walked up to us and said, "yeah, we closed early tonight". No apology, no explanation. First, stick to your posted hours. Second, close and lock your damn door if you're closed. And, did they learn? Nope. About ten minutes later another couple walked in and were promptly shooed out. Bummer, because I really wanted to try Eddie's, but with such poor representation, I won't be back unless they get their poop in a group.

May 2, 2026 - Santa Rosa…read more This has become our go-to spot whenever we're in Santa Rosa. The bike racing theme gives it a fun, unique vibe, and the atmosphere is always warm and welcoming. Service is consistently quick and friendly--but definitely make reservations, because this place is always busy. We started with their delicious house bread served alongside an olive tapenade--such a great way to kick things off. We also ordered a bottle of the Tom Mackey Cellars 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon, which paired nicely with everything that followed. For appetizers, we shared the grilled polenta and calamari, both of which were excellent. For my main, I ordered the house special seafood risotto, which was flavorful and perfectly cooked. My husband had the Spaghetti Pescatore--loaded with wild prawns, clams, calamari, fresh scallops, and fish of the day in a light tomato, garlic, and olive oil sauce--and it was just as good as it sounds. Around the table, we also had the lamb ravioli, Spaghetti Levi Leipheimer, and the Gnocchi Riviera, and every dish was a hit. Consistently great food, a lively atmosphere, and reliable service make this our must-do restaurant while in Santa Rosa.

Service was good, we enjoyed the bread and our bottle of chianti. They served olive tapenade with the bread. We both had salads that we enjoyed very much, the arugula with fennel, goat cheese, golden beets & balsamic and the RADICCHIO salad with pear, gorganzola cheese, fennel & balsamic. We both loved our entrees: They were just perfect: SPAGHETTI PESCATORA FETTUCCINE BOLOGNESE To top it off we shared a Tiramisu for dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious. The service was good and prompt, the very boisterous waiter was kind, enthusiastic, and sometimes hard to understand. All in all it was a great experience. The vibe is old school Italian restaurant. I love that their wine list has plenty of Italian wines because CA wines give me a migraine. Its a sweet place that I will return to.

So as we were making our way home from Windsor,my buddy told me about this deli that was described…read moreby some as the most authentic deli in the area,which is saying a lot considering how close we were to "wine country" So we decided to stop and at first glance from the outside it doesn't seem like much but once you walk in,you get that feel that your meal is about to be spectacular. The place had all the feels of an authentic Italian deli-I could not wait to get my hands on one of these sandwiches. I was torn between going with my usual at any Italian deli which is just a classic Italian but for some reason,I've been on a tri-tip vibe for a while and I saw they had BBQ tri-tip on the menu so I just went with that-I added pepper jack to my sandwich.($17.94) It wasn't very busy when we ordered so the food didn't take long,maybe a 6 or 7 minute wait and our food was in front of us. This deli is interesting in that they do a lot of stuff in-house including homemade chips and we had some-so tasty-great addition to our meal. They also have a pretty extensive freezer section with homemade pastas and sauces that a customer can take home to prepare at a later date. So let's talk about the BBQ tri-tip sandwich. It's always wonderful when you run into a small business that just truly excels at their craft and I feel Canevari Deli is one of those places. They made this sandwich so well,excellent balance of meat,cheese,bread and condiments. It was a job well done. I'm having really good luck lately of finding amazing restaurants that are out of town and unfortunately Canevaris is one of those places-this is the type of place that if it was near me I would go there every week,the people who live in Santa Rosa are quite lucky to have such a great deli so close to them daily. In closing ,if you find yourself in the Santa Rosa area and you want to help support a true local business,stop by Canevaris and enjoy yourself one of their daily offerings-I'm sure it will be a wonderful experience.

This was pathetic. They should throw away all the tri-tip and not offer the sandwich anymore. They used to serve this hot now it's cold and 50% gristle This sandwich used to come with barbecue sauce, red onions and peppers. Halfway through my first sandwich, I noticed no peppers, I opened the other half before I ate it, and it was the stem of the pepper and one other tiny and a sliver of a red onion and a ton of mayonnaise and they use kinder's barbecue sauce, squirt bottle, not the good old stuff.

We were seated immediately, but it took about 10 minutes before anyone came to our table to ask if we wanted drinks. My husband ordered a beer, I ordered a soda, and we placed our food order at the same time. We ordered a pasta dish and a steak with fries. We finished our drinks before the food arrived, which took about 35-40 minutes. During that time, no one checked on us or offered drink refills. Unfortunately, the food was just as disappointing as the service. The pasta was overly salty and lacked any other flavor. The steak was ordered medium but arrived well done. Before leaving, we ordered a dessert to go, and the portion was surprisingly tiny for the price. Overall, the service was slow, the food did not meet expectations, and the dessert was definitely overpriced. Based on our experience, it did not live up to the excellent reviews.

To begin with we ordered drinks off the Happy Hour menu and the calamari and the chicken wings for appetizers off of the Happy Hour menu as well. Both apps were excellent. The chicken wings were very crispy and perfectly cooked and came with a garlic ranch dressing and nice and crunch carrots and celery. The calamari was crispy and came with four different sauces, which were very good. Each of our group ordered a different entree. I ordered the chicken parmesan. It was two medium-sized pieces of chicken, perfectly pounded, with a crispy breading and sauteed with melted cheese on top. It had a side of spaghetti noodles and sauteed garlic spinach. Very, very good. My BF had the spaghetti and meatballs. He was very happy with his dish. Both dishes were good sized too. My mother had the baked penne bolognese and she loved it. It was huge and was able to take some home. The other two in our group had the chicken marsala and a shitake and sausage pizza. Both were very happy with their dishes. Our server was an Indian gal, who was very friendly and provided excellent customer service. We always ask to have each course spaced out. It is a major pet peeve of mine if I'm eating my pre-dinner salad and my entree comes out while I'm still eating it. And that's not even at lower end restaurants, but at nicer restaurants too. They just don't care, they just want you out of there so they can serve the next table. Of course, we asked our server for the same here, to please not bring each course until we've finished the previous course. And was sooo happy when that is exactly what she did. It all has to do with the server and when she turns the order into the kitchen. She was excellent. We will be coming back for sure.

Cafe Citti: A Culinary Love Letter to Italy in Santa Rosa…read more If you haven't heard the hype about Cafe Citti, let me be the one to confirm: it's mind blowing. From the moment we sat down, the flavors, textures, and ambiance transported us straight to a cozy hillside trattoria. We kicked things off with the Special Antipasto Salad--a dreamy lineup featuring bresaola, and house-made burrata so creamy it could double as dessert, paired with a seasoned olive medley that danced on the palate. The focaccia, fresh from the oven, came with local olive oil and a balsamic glaze that felt like a warm hug from Sonoma itself. Then came the Polenta Fries-dangerously addictive, especially with that pesto aioli. I could write sonnets about them. Next up: Prawns alla Diavola, cooked to perfection and served in a sauce that was pure magic bold, balanced, and impossible to forget. We didn't think we had room for entrées, but with appetizers this good, skipping them would've been a crime. The Potato Gnocchi? Like cotton candy for grown-ups--pillowy, fresh, and utterly divine. The Ravioli alla Citti converted me from a ravioli skeptic to a full-blown devotee--bursting with flavor and clearly crafted with love. And the Polenta with Porcini Sauce? Comforting, creamy, and elevated with a crisp crust that added just the right crunch. If this is what Italy tastes like, I'm never coming back. We closed out with a trio of desserts-Gelato, Tiramisu, and Crème Brûlée-each one a sweet finale to a symphony of flavors. The ambiance? Cozy, welcoming, and exactly what you'd want from a place that feels like home. Cafe Citti isn't just a meal, it's an experience, a celebration, and a reminder that food can be both art and comfort. Brava. Thank you for the incredible service, cocktails, and your passion in sharing a piece of home with us all. Italiano Famiglia

Our server, Darian, could not have been more fabulous. He joked with my granddaughter who was being a bit shy which invoked a smile. The garden salad I had was good- but the stars of the show were the Fried Polenta with a creamy mushroom sauce, the focaccia bread (which was refilled as needed) and the tiramisu which I had as my birthday dessert. Darian delivered the dessert with a very big candle and sang to me. I'd definitely come back here!
