Unfortunately my diet is now restricted to gluten free and I have craved a decent pizza for many years and finally I found an excellent gluten free pizza here. I thought it couldn't be done but this kitchen pulls it off like a dream come true. The atmosphere is quite pleasant and the service charming. Keep in mind the menu is limited but better to do a few things well rather than have boring mediocrity. If you are out for a leisurely pizza you can't do better anywhere north of San Francisco. Tip: get an appetizer while you wait.

You can't go wrong with any pizza really - all of them taste AMAZING. I've tried their butternut squash and tomato soup too - tasty as well!! They have local drinks to choose from - I always find something new to try there. The atmosphere is nice and cozy, very nature-y and relaxing. Our routine is always to eat at one of their tables and become one with nature:) I absolutely recommend this place to everyone!

We ordered the Posto pizza with spicy salami and honey on top. 10/10 highly recommend this pizza. The wait is about 25-30 min but definitely worth it.

On our first visit, we ordered strawberry and root beer float cones. We enjoyed them on the deck after the dinner rush, relaxing while watching the ravens across the street. On our second visit, I tried the affogato with Candy Cap Mushroom ice cream. The earthy, nutty sweetness of the ice cream added an unexpected depth of flavor to the espresso, making for a unique and memorable treat. If you decide to linger, the cozy upstairs seating is a hidden gem. A small window lets in the cool ocean breeze, making it the perfect spot to slow down and enjoy your treat.

On a North Coast vacation, we were in Mendocino for the day. On our list to try was Frankie's, as…read morethey serve Cowlick's ice cream from Fort Bragg, which we have long been fans of. We were fortunate to come by when there was hardly any line, a good start. With all the buzz about Candy Cap Mushroom ice cream I just had to try it. My wife chose the Hokey Pokey (described as honeycomb candy ice cream with lots of honeycomb candy pieces). We grabbed our ice cream and found a number of inside tables to relax in and enjoy our sweets. There are also upstairs and outside tables. My wife loved her Hokey Pokey, and I tried it as well and agreed - a unique concoction and delicious! I found my Candy Cap Mushroom OK, but not a favorite. Certainly points for originality (where else can you find one?) but my tastebuds like something a little sweeter. For me it was a little too like vanilla, my least liked flavor. But I won't ding them for a personal preference, as there was nothing wrong with the quality. Great location for Mendocino ice cream - although maybe next time it's the Hokey Pokey for me.

Luna Trattoria in Mendocino was such a great experience…read more I ordered a glass of wine and the steak & shrimp pasta, and both were incredible. The steak was cooked perfectly, the shrimp were fresh and flavorful, and the pasta tied everything together beautifully. Every bite was rich, comforting, and packed with flavor. The atmosphere was cozy and romantic, making it the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a meal while taking in the charm of Mendocino. The service was attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. If you're visiting Mendocino, Luna Trattoria is definitely worth a stop. Amazing food, great wine, and a wonderful dining experience all around. Can't wait to come back!

Eggs Benedict were cooked to perfection with a genuine Hollandaise sauce. Thin Swedish style pancakes with real maple syrup and thick sliced bacon. The dinner menu also looks good and again limited options. Better to have select items prepared well than a large variety of mediocre items. The 20% gratuity is added to your bill. They do not include the tax when calculating the gratuity. Sadly many restaurants do that these days. While we didn't stay for dinner, the menu looks good and the wine corkage fee is only $20.

Nobody came to check on us after the food was dropped off - we would have ordered another drink. We visited 2 years ago and had a much better experience. The fish tacos tasted like something was wrong with them and were saturated with a very wet pico de gallo and a cream sauce that tasted like thousand island salad dressing. I paid extra for a side of avocado and ate that with an extra taco shell for my meal. The whole fish was dry and flavorless.

I waited about 30 minutes for their breakfast sandwich (which I had heard was amazing) while sipping a matcha latte and it was absolutely worth it.

Both plates came with a healthy side of crispy home potatoes which were deliciously seasoned. Our fave was the Benedict with its perfect poached egg and creamy take on sauce (not quite hollandaise, but still yummy). The sando was huge and the flavors are more elevated (Gruyère, spinach) than a classic fluffy breakfast biscuit. I would look forward to trying the chilaquiles next time. Our server Rusty was knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. Shoutout to the host Lucy for getting us in early for our reservation and being super sweet! P.s. they've got a cafe next door, too. One stop shop!

The special of the day was the Red lentil Carrot coconut soup. Again, it was fantastic. For desert we had the Hokey Pokey sundae.

The look is very much a country cafe vibe, yet somewhat upscale too. The lunch outside was so enjoyable. The space and garden is delightful. Seating is far enough apart so you don't feel cramped. I started with the soup of the day which was wonderful. Then I chose the Rock Fish Tacos and oh my goodness, some of the best tacos ever. I liked that they didn't automatically fall apart when you picked it up. Plus the flavor and tenderness of the fish was spot on perfect. For dinner during a subsequent visit sitting inside at a cozy table was equally enjoyable. Four of us had a tough time choosing entrees as everything on the menu looked appealing. We started and shared the cheese board which was fabulous. Local cheeses were the highlight and ever so good. For my entree I chose the Gnochi with vegetagles. I very much enjoyed the overall dish but the gnochi were somewhat sparse and not that good in texture. Surprisingly that didn't impact the overall impression as everything else in the dish was satisfyingly delicious. It was an adequate portion and the price point good for the quality. We went through two bottles of wine, one suggested by the server. It was spot on. This is a delightful restaurant and if you're in the area definitely make it a stop for either lunch, when available, or especially dinner.
