Overall, a good place with good wine country food that's adapted well to COVID. There's a lot of seating throughout and the food is pretty good. This place is embedded in a winery complex, but it should be pretty easy to spot as there's a host stand coordinating the flow of diners through a very large outdoor tent and some other outdoor seating around the building. Bathrooms: Clean, spacious, and functional.

Not our first time here and this place reminded me why I did. The place is quaint and reminiscent of an old world vineyard. The food is great and the staff is friendly and accommodating. This is a must when in Sonoma. You don't need reservations it's a first come first serve basis to eat in the courtyard but for wine tasting you need to make plans.

There are a lot of places to grab drink and ingredients to make food. There is a specialty store in…read moreSan Francisco which has ingredients which are Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, European, and Asian. You will find Turkish sour cherry jam. This place specializes in olives (like the one you put in your dirty martinis). They have thirty different types of olive oils and sell it by the bottles. They also bottles of European wine from Italy and Spain and Middle Eastern wines like Lebanese wine along with Japanese sake. This place is located on Clement street and it's called Olive. On a Friday stroll in San Francisco's Richmond District looking for something to drink, eat, and cook. I landed on Clement street again but this time at a specialty store. Inside you find aisles of ingredients to cook with and bottles of olive oil and specialty wines. They have the Don Juan's favorite Pinot Noir . You will also find wines like Syrah, Sherry and Rosé. They carry artisan pasta for Don Juan's tofu spaghetti ( made with Angel hair). This is the place to create the taste international flavors of different parts of the world. San Francisco Summer is approaching next month some days you have to wear a hat or a "beanie"and some days are so hot you will see some by the beach in a "bikini" you can also get a taste of the world and -Americana-not talking about the movie with "Sydney Sweeney" so grab something at Olives like the ones you pair in a Dirty "Martini" Come get some wine from Armenia , Italy and "Greece "then some that are "Lebanese" which is wine from the "Middle East "and then some Spanish Sherry wine and sake that's "Japanese"

A cute little specialty shop with Greek and Mediterranean foods available, as well as some other…read moreMiddle Eastern goodies! All good brands and quality and a few things that are harder to find in other stores, we picked up a few things as we were going by. Worth stopping in if you're looking for some a snack, ingredients, or just random stuff to taste.

Aroon Thai Market is the place to find favorite Thai delicacies and fresh produce used in authentic…read moreThai dishes in stock. Every Friday, the market hosts an exceptional outdoor produce market that is a feast for the senses. It might might bring memories of Thailand rushing back, it did for me and my Thai mother-in-law, who excitedly told me the name of her favorite veggies, and what dishes to use them in. There are veggies used in traditional U.S. dishes available as well, but we rarely see freshness like this at other markets. On Fridays there is so much business that Aroon Thai has set up an outdoor cashier, so service is as speedy as possible. Hot Tip: If you're planning on checking out the Friday Outdoor Produce Market, go early to ensure you get the best selection of fresh-made Thai goodies, rolls, and sandwiches.

Best local Asian market in the Sonoma area! Largest selection of fresh produce and ethnic groceries…read more(Korean, Thai, Indian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese). Only con is prices aren't labeled for 90% of items but prices remain reasonable. Went in on a Friday after work, and they had Vietnamese prepared foods: -Banh cuon $5.99 - steamed rice rolls with pork and black fungus were fresh and soft. Thoughtfully packaged with veggies, pickles, jalapeños, and fried shallots all separated out. -Sweet sticky rice $4.99 - decent (a little dry) -Banh mi $7.99 - Vietnamese sandwiches supplied by Kelly's Sandwiches and Drinks The most surprising was their fresh produce piled high in baskets: -Okra -Chinese eggplant -Mint and Vietnamese mint -Perilla leaf -Mung bean sprouts -Bitter melon -Taro -Lotus root -Yucca -Ong choy/water spinach -Daikon Dry products range from: -Starches: instant ramens, vermicelli, rice, sticky rice, mung beans -Sauces: Thai curry, Indian curry, mapo tofu, chutney -Snacks: jellies, dried squid, broad bean, hello panda, pocky -Cans: lychee, coconut milk, coconut jelly, jackfruit, halo halo, red bean A coworker recommended Aroon Thai after hearing I've desperately hunted for Asian groceries at Asiana, Phnom Penh, and Kabayan. Sadly, none of the local markets offer everything in one place. Aroon Thai fills their aisles to the brim with fresh, frozen, and dried foods. From instant chai to vermicelli, it's a great one stop shop for your fridge and pantry. Happy cooking!

Food 4.5/5 Service 5/5…read moreAmbiance 5/5 The food is full of surprises and originality. We can't have enough of the smoked cherries appetizer. It is light and is extremely delicious. Their carbonara pasta dish is so well done. The pasta is chewy while so creamy. I also love their signature fish dish. It has the wonderful wood fired flavor, while goes well with the olive, fig sauce. Bravo. I took 0.5 off from the desserts. We had the chocolate cherry cake. It's not as impressive as the savory dishes. The service and ambiance are both great.

Why do I have the urge to be Stanley Kowalski from "A Streetcar Named Desire" and scream at the top…read moreof my lungs "Stella!" but when the food is this good as it is when it is served at Stella, then you too will be screaming at the top of your lungs! Located in the previous space that housed Cafe Citti along the Sonoma Highway, in the Sonoma wine country hamlet of Kenwood, California, Stella comes from the same team that previously brought the local dining community Glen Ellen Star. Opened for only the past year, Stella focuses on pasta and grilled meat dishes. Passing along Stella's restaurant front after many visits to the many wineries that dot the Sonoma Highway, a friend and I were intrigued to finally make a visit in between visits to two neighboring wineries. With a lot of activity going on outside in their outdoor dining patio, not having reservations wasn't an issue at all, as their host sat us inside of their dining room at a corner booth. The lunchtime menu at Stella is separated into categories including Antipasti, which are their Appetizers; Insalate or Salads; Mozzarella Bar e fett'unta, or mozzarella served with grilled bread; The Lunch Break, which are lunch combination meals; Pasta Fresca, which are pasta made fresh daily; Secondi, which are their meat entrées, including sandwiches and burgers; and Contorni, which are side dishes. With my dining mate and I not being super hungry, we opted to share two of their entrées, and after asking our server Gillian what the best-sellers were for lunch and they suggested their Burrata & Mortadella from the Mozzarella Bar section of their menu, which was smooth burrata cheese topped with castelvetrano olives, pistachio and basil oil served with multiple slices of mortadella meat which too was topped with olives and pistachios. For our main entrée, we decided to share their Rigatoni which was topped with generous amounts of milk braised pork and beef and aged parmesan. With two dishes for lunch that is all we needed and our first dish of Burrata & Mortadella was placed at our table first and it was a real winner, as it came with plenty of slices of grilled sourdough bread topped with aged parmesan. Being able to place the spreadable cheese and sliced meat on every slice of grilled bread was a real treat. A true meal in itself. Then our pasta dish would be presented to our table and it was a true authentic Italian pasta entrée that had the perfect combination of flavors. This beautifully composed dish was the perfect accent to our lunch and filled with so much food that there was a little extra food to take home for the afternoon. Our total bill was $61.18 of which it should be noted that they charge an extra fee should you choose to pay with a credit card, so it is always best to bring cash with you when dining at Stella. It also should be noted that in their short time of being around, Stella has been known for their Baked "Gelaska" which is their spin on a Baked "Alaska" with gelato instead of ice cream. Better believe that I will be ordering that dessert item along with many more of their mozzarella appetizers and freshly made pasta dishes, as after visiting Stella you too will be screaming at the top of your lungs for food as nicely crafted as it is in this picturesque setting in Sonoma wine country.
