We have dined here 3 times in the last 3 years; we try and eat here every time we travel to Marin. Excellent service, amazing food. Eggplant Parmesan and ravioli was better than what my son and his wife had recently in Italy. Caprese and Caesar salad fresh, delectable. The Arroncini w an asparagus sauce was unique and so tasty. Minestrone perfect. Large wine selection; perfect garlic bread. Friendly family owners. Oh, and tiramisu for dessert.

Nice family owned restaurant located in Mill Valley. The food was good and the pricing is reasonable. The wait time for the food was a little long though.

Great spot don’t sit behind a big plant on the bar though. Food is awesome.

Perfect calamari, spinach salad, and spaghetti bolognese! Service was excellent, especially because staff was really busy, literally running to serve everyone.

Wish I could love this place but atrocious service, rude hostess, mediocre food (pesto linguine & ravioli).

The staff, Paolo and the hostess were so lovely and the food was quick and delicious! 10/10 dining experience and they have delicious mocktails too!

By far the best Italian restaurant in town. I would recommend the spaghetti bolognese. Everyone here is very friendly and I love the atmosphere. I love going here for celebrations and would recommend for anyone.

A totally great experience! We’re visiting family in Mill Valley, and ate here with them.

Our group of eight had a wonderful dining experience at La Ginestra in Mill Valley. We started by sharing some appetizers, including a refreshing cæsar salad, squid, and an outstanding Italian cheese (the name escapes me). Each dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented.

For the main courses, we each tried something different, and everyone was thoroughly satisfied. The flavors were spot on, and the dishes were well-prepared and served with great care. The atmosphere of the restaurant was warm and inviting, complemented by attentive service.

I personally ordered the pasta carbonara, a dish I often try in various restaurants and countries. This version was superb, rich, and delicious. It was one of the best I’ve had in a long time.

Overall, it was a fantastic meal, and I highly recommend this place. Thanks for the great experience!
