20 Best Italian Restaurants near Calistoga

“Wonderful food, friendly atmosphere, great service,“

“We stopped in on Sunday January 19 after seeing the sandwich board advertising on the Main Street. The place was busy, but they were able to seat the three of us at the bar. What a treat we got! Sitting at the bar, we were able to watch the cooks make magic in what is a pretty small kitchen. We were there for”happy hour”; two of us ordered re Aperol Spritzer while I ordered the house red ($10/glass during happy hour!) For appetizers…we had the fried provolone and Mama’s Meatballs. Both were delicious. While our server warned us that it was taking a bit for food to come out because of how busy they were, the wait was not long, and the food was well worth the short wait time we experienced. My daughter had the chicken piccata with pasta and it was delicious; the crusted chicken had an excellent lemon taste that was fabulous. I had the chicken Parmesan; it arrived with the sauce and cheese still bubbling. The chicken was tender and delicious. My husband had the lasagne; it was also delicious, in a lighter sauce than the red marinara I had. We all had plenty to take home (including one giant meatball). We took home tiramisu and the key lime pie for dessert to have later in the evening. Both were also delicious. This small establishment has our vote and we will be back when we visit the local wineries in Calistoga or if we are passing through and looking for lunch or dinner.“

“great mushroom n apple sausage pizzas and staff“

“We had family gathering to celebrate parents anniversary, we arrived without reserving a spot at the facility. When we arrived the crew gave us excellent service and told us we could use their upstairs dining area for our gathering.“

“Love the food and service“

“Ca’Bianca has become one of our favorites! Definitely our go-to if we are looking for a wonderful meal with fabulous service! It’s always worth waiting to hear what the specials are! We always feel welcomed and never rushed. Love the atmosphere, the food, the friendly staff!!“

“They really have their service down. The staff was extremely attentive in an unobtrusive way, on top of being personable. Truly no notes on the service. The dining room atmosphere was decent. My only complaint is the bathroom location makes it feel disjointed from the restaurant (totally nitpicking there). I heard they are trying to get a michelin star, given the price point, and that the dishes were for the most part tweaked/elevated versions of classic dishes, I don't think the food was quite consistently excellent enough to get there. I think they are reasonably close. The crab pasta course was overwhemed a bit by the red pepper sauce it was a touch too acidic which competed with the flavor of the crab. the cheese desert seemed a little simplistic, and they weren't interesting enough to make up for the simplicity. The tuna carpaccio, while very tastey and well balance flavorwise, didn't highlight the tuna which was lightly seared, muting the flavor, and making it not feel like a tuna carpaccio dish. The duck was well cooked, but all the seasoning was in the sauce making it you you had to get the ratio of duck to sauce right for the seasoning to work. Ideally it would have been more evenly distributed. I think they could also use a little work on portion size. The carpaccio, and rissoto were a bit too big.
All of these details are very nitpicky, and we had a very nice evening, but if they want to get to that next level, I think these details need more attention.“

“Really good Italian food. Very very popular. Highly recommend making a reservation even mid week and off-season. But it’s worth the effort“

“Not bad a little pricy but worth it“

“Best pizza I’ve had in Sonoma County.“

“We had a memorable Mother's Day dinner here even though we didn't get around to calling for reservations until the Thursday before. They were friendly, efficient and the food (lobster risotto, mushroom ravioli, and lasagna plus their Chianti) was wonderful. We had an excellent experience.“

“I ordered the meat ravioli and unfortunately it came out very doughy. I returned to the restaurant with the dish and the owner noticed me right away. He came over, asked what the problem was, and personally checked the ravioli. He offered to make another order and even had me try one before serving, but it was still not quite right.

The owner then offered to make me whatever I wanted, but since I was short on time I opted for the spaghetti with a meatball. He also suggested that I request a refund through DoorDash since that is how I had originally placed my order. He did not charge me for the replacement meal and even included a dessert at no cost.

Although my first dish was disappointing, I was very impressed with the way the owner handled the situation. He was attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about making things right. The spaghetti and meatball were tasty and the free dessert was a thoughtful gesture. I left feeling appreciated as a customer and will definitely give this place another try. I recommend this restaurant not only for the food but also for the excellent customer service.“

“This weekend we went to Union hotel in Santa Rosa to celebrate my sister’s bachelorette party and we had such a fun experience! We are so thankful to our server Misty and the rest of the team!

“I love it hundred percent“

“Eddie's kitchen, the food was excellent. I had chicken alfredo and a desert to die for. It was the chef favorite dessert. Eddie Jr. was very polite and very knowledgeable about the items on the menu. I love Eddie's kitchen. I will go there again if ever in Santa Rosa.“

“Wish we could visit you more often but we live in Dixon (1 1/2 hrs. away) and we went to the fair today and chose your restaurant for lunch/dinner. Very nice interior, seated right away, and taken care of quickly. We want to give 5 star award to our server Eddiann. Hope I spelled that correctly. She was attentive, courteous, helpful, and went out of her way to make sure we had a great dining experience. She makes Mary's a great place. Definitely a keeper. Next time we're in Santa Rosa we'll know where to dine. Thank you!!“
