We were on a tour that ordered from Big John's. We liked it so much we came back again the following day to grab another sandwich to eat while we were wine tasting. The store is a full market plus a big selection of pre-made and To Go foods. And they have a great wine selection! Lots of great locals finds there. Mind you... they don't carry Everyone and Everything but they have a lot of the local wineries there at reasonable prices. If you need to put together snacks (aka fancy Chacuterie) for a party, this is the place to go. It's better than Whole Paycheck (Foods) IMO and the prices are better. If you are staying at a rental with a kitchen, definitely come here to stock up on meats, breads and produce. Highly recommend making a stop here!

We also wanted pasta and they have a large variety of high quality pasta. We went to a winery and we were recommended to come here from a local and it's definitely worth stopping by if you are staying in an Airbnb or a great place to find items for a charcuterie board or pretty picnic if you're doing one at the vineyard. We wished we had stopped by sooner in our trip! If comparing to LA grocers, this would be similar to Bristol Farms, but they had a wide variety of prices for their goods so that they had reasonably priced, nice items as well. We also saw cute stationary items in their gift wrap, gift bag and cards area.

I really love this market because it's so food-focused, which is like "duh" with all the beautiful farms in the immediate vicinity.. but many of the "farmer's markets" I visit at home in DFW are overrun with crafts, so it's nice to be at one that's truly focused on local farmers. We bought fantastic green garlic, onions, asparagus, shiitake mushrooms, kiwis and bananas, apples, grapefruit and oranges, fresh rosemary, orange marmalade and cranberry pepper jam, a white lemon balsamic vinegar, our favorite Valley Ford farmers cheese, a lovely strip steak, and a bouquet of flowers to enjoy during our short visit. We thought the prices were great and even a bargain for the quality of food. And we got a little purple Healdsburg Farmer's Market t-shirt for Winnie!

Ciao Bruto! A newer…read moreItalian wine and provisions shop from the lovely folks at Idlewild Wines nextdoor. The shop opened in 2022 and it's a welcome addition to the Healdsburg wine scene. I love local wines, but this Italian girl also loves exploring and trying these imported Italian wines and provisions too. Variety...the spice of life! The owners are extremely knowledgeable about all the wines they carry. Need a recommendation? Just ask! I've been in a few times so far to purchase Italian wines and treats including Antonio Mattei Biscotti di Prato (the best biscotti ever!), torrone (a nougat confection), pasta, and tomato sauce. They also carry Italian sardines, olive oils, cookbooks, wine decanters, and more. Follow them on social to learn about their Friday wine tastings (I still need to get to one), and give them a visit!

Finally back Yelping after a 2+ year absence due to the pandemic. It's great to be back!…read moreWe have been visiting Ciao Bruto for the past few months, it's a fabulous new Italian wine and Provision store (along with French Champagne) that is unlike any other wine and provision store in the North Bay, or even in most of the Bay Area. Large, excellent selection of high quality wine from every region in Italy. Piedmont, Sicily, Tuscany etc. etc. they are all covered and in EVERY price range. I have bought numerous bottles based off the recommendations of the owners, all have been exceptional. Add in a large selection of French Champagne and Italian sparkling wine and you have a truly unique assortment of Italian wine and French Champagne. If that was the extent of Ciao Bruto it would be great but the provisions part of the store is awesome! Specialty Italian ancient grain pasta in all shapes and sizes. Believe me, you can taste the difference compared to chain store pasta. Also a large assortment of tinned fish-shellfish, honey, spices, vinegars and oils, pickled veggies, various pestos and sauces, flour, chocolates and others confections, pasta making machines, Italian cookbooks and a whole lot more. All this imported from Italy! You can't quite completely "grocery shop" there but you can get specialty food, wine and provisions you simply can't get anywhere else. Ciao Bruto is the creation from the people next door at Idlewild Wines, also makers of great Italian Piedmont varieties such as Dolcetto, Barbara, Nebbiolo, Arneis etc. all grown in nearby Mendocino County. Service at Ciao Bruto is friendly and very helpful. Not sure about Italian wine, French Champagne or specialty food from Italy, no problem, just ask for help from Courtney whose expertise is French Champagne or Thomas whose knowledge is all about Italian wine and food. We are so happy to have Ciao Bruto locally here in Healdsburg!

Ingredients were only semi fresh, and I've had burgers worlds better for half the price. Haven't tried other things on the menu but I would imagine the quality is not worth the 20+$ per menu item. I love a good local food truck but this one is definitely a let down. Hopefully they can lower prices or increase quality!

My 2nd try at their food truck (at a winery event). I asked if there are any vegetarian options and…read moreapparently a grilled cheese was the only option. It was tasty yet not healthy and served with some cold rice (even more carbs). My friend had a meat dish and it was accompanied by Cole slaw - I would have loved some Cole slaw- have no idea why that's wasn't mentioned to me. And for $21 for a grilled cheese with cold rice (which I didn't eat) is a tad pricey. Definitely would love to see actual vegetarian options in the future.

We were not in a rush, but the lines were nonstop. Enjoyed some samples of their salumi. Delicious. So much to see and watched as pizzas were being made. Meats and Salim's getting sliced and the food that was coming out looked delicious. Prices were not bad.

I went after they earned a well-deserved Michelin star, and I was surprised by just how good everything was. Standouts for me included chicken - making chicken flavorful is something I'd never figure out how to do in my kitchen - and a series of impressive small bites to start off the meal. Service is outstanding - this is a group of people with a clear vision of what they want their restaurant to be, and they are executing it an amazing level. If you can't pull off the reservations to Single Thread (or you don't want to drop $1K on food alone and three hours for dinner) this is the alternate fine dining spot with real ambition in northern Sonoma county. I'm super curious about the sandwiches, though...

I had the ham with honey and Brie and my girlfriends ordered the special. The sandwich was delicious. We each enjoyed our sandwich. The cookie was delicious!!! So good that I went back before going home to get some to take home. Service was great and we were amazed with the constant flow of people coming in. It explained why there were premade sandwiches. We were happy to grab a bite here and will definitely come back when we are in the area in the future. Great food, enjoyed our meal.

The store has spa stuff and lots of gift items for those who love to cook and entertain. It's a relaxing ambiance and the whole downtown area is a great place to sip and shop with lots of great gift opportunities as well as great ways to relax and treat yourself. Highly recommend checking this place out!

Parking is fairly plentiful in the strip mall it's located in. Stepping inside you'll find a nice market with many different products such as produce, a small salad bar, olive bar, groceries and drinks as well as a deli. Everything looked really good quality. We chose two Tuscan veggie sandwiches which were already prepared in the deli case and looked incredible. The helpful deli counter employee recommended that they were best heated up and offered to do so while we looked around. Soon our sandwiches were warm and off we went. The sandwich was delicious. Absolutely a delight to the senses. Visually it was fresh and vibrant. The layers were impressive. The taste, amazing. The olive tapenade, pesto, greens and veggies were delicious. It's been a while since I've had such a delicious sandwich. We both were saying "yum, mmm" with each bite. Epic sandwich. The service was great. I highly recommend Shelton's Natural Foods market.

We were given a sampling of three different wines to try, and ultimately decided on the sparkling for a glass as we walked the gardens. There was hardly anyone else there as it was late in the day, but it felt peaceful as we strolled and as if we had the whole place to ourselves. While the wine was quite good, what really makes this place stand out is their olive oil, the pollinator garden, and of course - Petunia the pig. As animal people, we gravitated to her and felt it was hard to pull away from her adorable grunts as we scratched her to sleep. Thankful for the downtime experience and excited to try the olive oil we purchased now that we're home!
