Ca'Bianca

I’m honestly surprised by the high ratings this place receives. As someone who has managed a restaurant, I have certain expectations — and unfortunately, this place fell short on several fronts. My wife brought me here for my birthday dinner. We checked in with the hostess and were seated outside, where there were no heaters — unlike the deck section, which did have them. It was a chilly evening, and that already made things less comfortable. Shortly after being seated, we were served a baguette — it was tasty, but oddly came without butter. Since our food was delayed, we asked for a couple more pieces. The second batch was so hard we couldn’t eat it. Our server noticed, apologized, and brought out more — but unfortunately, the next round was just as inedible, so we gave up on the bread altogether. We were seated at 7:00 p.m. but didn’t receive our appetizer until 8:00 p.m. — a full hour later. We also ordered two cocktails: the house margarita and something called the “Smoky Babana.” Neither was enjoyable. My wife actually sent hers back and ordered a glass of wine instead. Timing of the courses was completely off. We were supposed to get the gnocchi as a separate course before the filet mignon, but both came out at the same time. To make things worse, the $46 filet — ordered medium rare — came out medium. The cut was not impressive, and the overall quality of the meat was disappointing. The only redeeming quality of the evening was the ambience. The atmosphere was lovely, and the space had potential. But food, service timing, and overall execution missed the mark for what should’ve been a special evening. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning.

Yum!! This is the best Italian in Sonoma county. We came in for date night and everything was so good. Cocktails, bread, but the pasta!! The pasta was obviously fresh/house made and was so good, the consistency of the noodles was awesome. We got the carbonara and bolognese, pretty basic of us, but woah it was great! We will be sure to come back for more date nights, there’s plenty of things we need to try.

Incredible food!! My family came here for a birthday dinner and we had a wonderful time. SO charming! The servers are super kind and attentive. Lovely atmosphere. Beautiful gardens. Loved the Butternut Squash dish and the desserts were amazing. Free easy parking out front. Just perfect.
