Visiting Sonoma – Wineries, Dining, Lodging – October 2014
October 10, 2014
My fourth and last night I went for some traditional Italian Tuscan soul food which is rooted in the many Italian immigrants who came to the SF Bay area a hundred years ago. Della Santina’s is family owned and run, and yes they really cook several of Grandma’s old world recipes. Pass through their gated entry, down a brick walkway into the warm and inviting courtyard and you will believe you are in Italy. Get ready because this is some of the best Italian food you will ever have. I flipped over the Gnocchi Della Nonna, little potato dumplings in a sauce that changes daily, today was a duck based sauce. All the pastas are homemade and just heavenly. Loved a half order of the Cannelloni Florentine, chicken, veal and ricotta filled crepe in a tomato and béchamel sauce. All the different flavors together just melt in your mouth. They have from the rotisserie, Turkey, chicken, duck, and several fresh fish dishes. Whatever you choose will be cooked to perfection. www.dellasantinas.com. Right next door they own Enoteca, a wine bar/wine store where you can also order off the same restaurant menu at the bar and watch a ball game on TV. www.enotecadellasantina.com
