New American Restaurants near Geyserville, CA

“It’s been a long time since I’ve left a restaurant and immediately started trying to find an excuse to book my next reservation. But Chef Domenica Catelli and the entire team at Catelli’s achieved this, and then some!Knowing that this was a special dinner for me and my friends visiting from out of town, the service team welcomed us with an incredible surprise of fresh prosciutto, house made burrata, arugula and toasted bread along with the sweetest welcome note. What a way to start!When you think home style Italian in America, many of us think rich sauces, heavy entrees, and large portions. While the third point couldn’t be more true her(thanks to my friend Annie for the leftover pasta!) our entrees were full of flavor, made with fresh local ingredients and so nice and light that we couldn’t help sharing amongst the three of us. My friends had the fresh pasta with butter and cheese (simplicity at its finest), Chef Domenica’s famous lasagna (not your grandmas lasagna.. and I mean that in the best way possible!) and I had the Chicken Parmigiana served in a cast iron skillet. Gorgeous presentation, beautifully cooked crispy chicken, and a delicate topping of fresh mozzarella and a light, yet savory tomato sauce.Since we weren’t completely stuffed from our meal, we opted for two desserts to share, the chocolate molten cake with rich (yes, this one was rich… and the crowd favorite!) dark chocolate and the tiramisu which was equally delicious.The meal was paired with five-star service from the entire team, from our server (I’m kicking myself for forgetting his name but he was a young gentleman and exemplified wine country hospitality to a T) to the manager who graciously came to check on us at the end of the meal. And yes, the wine did flow from the bottle of local Dry Creek Valley Pinot that we all shared.As a local Santa Rosan who should have gone to Catelli’s a long time ago when I moved out here, I recommend you don’t just walk, but run, to Catelli’s on your next visit to Geyserville. From the intimate decor to the classic Italian fare and warm, gracious service, you’ll be ready to plan your next visit as well!Vegetarian options: Delicious vegetarian pasta dishes and appetizers.Dietary restrictions: There’s a whole section of the menu for those with gluten intolerance so everyone at the table can enjoy.Wheelchair accessibility: Full AA access.“

“We went here for dinner and it was raining but I wish we could have had time to walk around the property. It's so pretty with the large staircase from the parking up to the restaurant Rustic. There is an elevator too.You enter the memorabilia room before getting to the restaurant. So many things to see but we were there right before they closed that area so we didn't have time to walk around. Will have to do that next time.Dinner was delicious and the waitress was superb! She was very attentive and took care of our party well. Didn't blink an eye when we requested separate checks too. Her service made the evening even more special.Will recommend the seafood linguine pasta, salt crust branzino, wild mushroom pizza, Cesar salad, and burrata and bread appetizer.“

“First time in this restaurant. Looked like every other casino restaurant however, the clam chowder was divine!! It was some of the best I have ever eaten. Please don't change the recipe! In regards to the shrimp cocktail, please get another brand of cocktail sauce. The one I ate was very bland and pretty tasteless. The shrimp were a perfect size. Mozzarella sticks were yummy but again, the sauce! Are you guys cutting corners in regards to sauces? The dipping marinara sauce was blah! My husband's prime rib was a little bit overdone and chewy although the mushrooms on top were tasty. Full service bar was very nice...We were satisfied with the drinks we received. Our food server Leora was fantastic! Very friendly and prompt. Just a few comments in the hopes that you really take what I wrote seriously and make some minor changes. Thank you! Sonya Gibbons“

“Outstanding dining experience. Amazing food and service. All the things you would expect from a Michelin star restaurant. When our server sat us and asked our preference of water , he discretely signaled a colleague and our glasses were instantly filled. In another example, he picked up an empty glass , discretely put it behind his back while he spoke to us and another server wisked it away almost unnoticed. It's the details that matter.“

“My friend and I visited Healdsburg for the 1st time on Saturday evening and decided to checkout the bar scene at this nice, high end establishment.Very nice, welcoming ambiance, music and vibe as soon as you walk into the hotel lobby and bar area! LOVED it! :)We happily ordered a bunch of bar bites and drinks for a couple hours. Skilled, Seasoned Bartender Jason was amazing, attentive, friendly and made us some fabulous alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks! YAY!!! :)I think Jason’s bartending skills, the ambiance and the live jazz music were what kept us chatting, eating and drinking at the bar for hours.Of the very many bar bites we ordered, I think the bacon hamburger and delicious french fries was the best of all of our bar bite tastings.Of the many alcoholic drinks, the Espresso Bean Martini was delightfully DELISH! I would never have thought to order this drink since my FAV martini is a Grey Goose Lemon Drop so I’m so happy that Jason suggested it and served it up perfectly! You MUST try it! Can you say YUM? :)The bar crowd/customers were friendly and we sincerely enjoyed meeting some new people and chatting up a storm with them while we were there! :)I highly recommend hanging out in the bar or lounge for well made cocktails and drinks and live music! Enjoy! Santé! :)“

“We are so glad we chose to dine at Valette!! We shared the chef’s choice 5 course tasting menu and it was a culinary delight!! The food was prepared perfectly and coursed out in perfect timing. Exceptional service, food and cocktails!! We can’t wait to visit again!“

“Overall lovely experience. Although the service was slightly slower , the server was busy and super kind and knowledgeable which made up for it. The only thing I would say, is the lighting in the inner dining room should be dimmed during dinner service to create a bit more warmth and ambiance.“

“Impressive venue, spectacular location. Just a few minutes from a beautifully designed Healdsburgh square. The restaurant is located in a historic mansion, warm and inviting upon entry. The staff is well trained, engaging but not over the top. Great selection of wines, I would like to see more of mid priced choices. All the dishes were well presented and proportioned. I was impressed how the chef made all the ingredients work in harmony. My appetizer and main dish were salty, next time I will ask for no added salt. The carrot cake for dessert was just plain. The added raisins did not elevate it, not comparable to my other dishes. A banal way to finish an otherwise fabulous meal. I will go back and I recommend it highly.“

“Went for drinks and appetizers for my birthday last week! The manager Javier was super nice. Our server Diana took real good care of us. We had some fabulous food! It was a Monday so it was 1.00 day Oysters! My boyfriend had those and said they were the best he has ever had!.. I indulged in the Crab Cakes!! Wow!! Karen the bartender made me a great drink, Flower Girl. Was sooo good. The staff was super nice and brought out a small cheesecake with a candle! So sweet. Thank you to everyone. Rooftop was great and will definitely be back. Cheers~ Christine & Jason“
