Della Santina's

Della Santina's Trattoria in Sonoma proved to be an exceptional culinary journey that authentically captured the essence of Italian cuisine. From the moment I stepped inside, the restaurant exuded an epic charm that resonated with the true spirit of Italy.

The culinary adventure began with the Pesto and pasta dish, a sublime creation that transported me back to the streets of Italy. The flavors were not only delicious but also remarkably true to their Italian roots, showcasing the chef's dedication to authenticity. Equally impressive was my husband's and our friend's choices—the gnocchi and sauce, which elevated our taste buds to levels of goodness that can only be described as extraordinary.

Beyond the culinary delights, the attention to detail extended to my latte, a beverage that proved to be both truly delicious and delightful. What struck me most was the personal touch provided by the owner, who was consistently present, making rounds, engaging with customers, and ensuring that every aspect of our dining experience was impeccable. His gentlemanly demeanor and genuine friendliness added a special touch to the evening.

The staff mirrored this warmth and hospitality, going above and beyond to accommodate my seafood allergy with grace and attentiveness. Their welcoming attitude created an atmosphere that felt like being among friends, enhancing the overall dining experience.

The restaurant's decor, reminiscent of a beautiful fantasy Italian dream, further contributed to the enchanting ambiance. The thoughtfully curated surroundings complemented the culinary journey, creating a holistic experience that transcended mere dining.
Della Santina's Trattoria has undoubtedly earned its place as my number one Italian restaurant. The perfect blend of authentic cuisine, personalized service, and a charming atmosphere makes it a culinary gem in Sonoma. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking an unforgettable Italian dining experience.

I have family that live in Sonoma and every time I visit we have a wonderful meal in this authentic locally owned Italian restaurant. It is always memorable with both great food and personal service. The owners are usually there mingling with their guests and making you feel welcome. If you let them make suggestions from the menu you won’t be disappointed. This is a great choice to experience a taste of Tuscany without leaving the states. Be sure to give yourself time to relax and enjoy their Italian hospitality.

We came with our family to Sonoma and stopped by this delightfull restaurant. The food was excellent, the owner was very attentive to every detail and the service was outstanding. If you want to taste real italian food at a very cousy atmosphere this is the best place. We really enjoy our stay and definetly will come back.

I can't say enough about how wonderful our visit was.

We didn't have much time because of our shuttle schedule so we told the host. They quickly sat us & gave recommendations as we picked our meals to ensure we left on schedule.

The tortellini was super fresh & flavorful. The Turkey sandwhich was surprisingly upscale.... it had a lot of meat on fresh bread.

Staff quickly refilled out drinks & was super attentive. I can't think of a single thing that wasn't perfect other than we couldn't stay longer in their beautiful private patio.

Had my birthday dinner here. Enjoyed the duck and special mushrooms and polenta. Fantastic

Delicious Italian food! My husband and I were able to eat outside on their back patio. We both had pasta dishes and loved them. My husband had the Gnocchi and he is particular about his gnocchi and he raved about it. I had the chicken and veal raviolis which were also delicious. We did bring our own bottle of wine but they have a nice list. Service was excellent and not rushed. If we had spent more nights in the town of Sonoma we would have gone back.

Really Italian food. Delicious tasty. Fresh. Flavors are amazing. The owner is visiting tables and being sure you are having a good time and enjoying the food. I have been in this restaurant 3 or 4 times and it gets better and better.

Today was my second time at Della Santina and my first time for lunch. Oh a wonderful surprise! The food, the atmosphere and the service all outstanding and excellent! And yes! The desserts are delicious! I highly recommend them!

By far the best Italian I've ever had! I had the penne and sausage dish and the gravy is unrivaled. The courtyard atmosphere is amazing. Highly recommend!

Quaint little restaurant with cozy dining area and water fountain. Food was great we had Tortellini and the Rotisserie chicken and for desert double chocolate mouse cake. Great service, cute front porch for drinks. Recommended.

such a delicious place with beautiful ambiance. waiter Luis is amazing. I got the prosciutto peach melon appetizer, which came with spicy olives. then I had the wild boar truffle oil ragu, honestly to die for. then an affogato

A truly special dining experience. The staff was extremely friendly, attentive and helpful with pointing out the specialty dishes which were cooked to perfection. Our entire party raved about each dish. The flavor was outstanding from the appetizes, to main dishes to desserts! The outdoor dining area has a great vibe. No better restaurant in Napa/Sonoma.

Great food and a staff with personality. Waiters had us laughing, made great recommendations and cared about our experience. Home made pasta, delicious sauces, yummy dessert. Good wine too

When you are interested in fantastic Italian food in Sonoma, go no further than Della Sabrina's. We came here on a Wednesday night and had a great meal. I will definitely come back the next time I am in town!

Tonight's family dinner at Della Santina's Italian restaurant.
Their outside patio transcends into a private dining atmosphere filled with lush greenery, a water fountain ⛲ that fills the outdoors with what sounds like crashing waves. It's almost as if you walk into your Nona's grotto! If that was their mission, mission accomplished!
The fresh bread, home made olive oil, & balsamic vinegar had me wanting 😩 so much more & that was just the tables starter.
We shared a Cesar salad, a simple salad made wrong often BUT NoT here.
Their anchovy oil, house made croutons with garlic, the fresh shaved cheese the freshest salad, with the greatest flavor!
I ordered the pesto gnocchi, my husband the lasagna, & our son the child's meat sauce spaghetti.
Each of us sat at the table silenced by the delicious dishes in front of us!
We ended dinner with a shared affogato. The most delicious affogatto I have EVER had in a restaurant! The ice cream so creamy with chocolate chips, the espresso so smooth & velvety accompanied with lady finger cookies! In short, an incredible family date night dinner! Thank you Della Santina's! Until we meet again!

Excellent Italian food and the owner Giovanni and all the hosts are super welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend 😊

The duck ragu was brilliant! 🤤

Best Date Night EVER!

Every seat in the house is a good one, with their great service and amazing food!

We ordered the Gnocchi (a must), a Caesar & Caprese (yum)
I got the Pork Chop and my boyfriend got their Cannelloni.

My meal was delivered hot, and was rich in flavor - I loved the mushroom accent and light gravy.

My boyfriends meal was deliciously cheesy and the filling of the Cannelloni was superb.

Our waiter was so friendly and personable, we connected on a level that made it feel like family.

Guessing my boyfriend told the waiter it was my birthday, the waiter surprised us with a lemon tart and a custard drizzled with a bourbon sauce.

The ambiance transports you back to Italy.
The setting is comfortable and romantic, prefect for a date - or even to enjoy a meal during lunch.

I will definitely be back to Della Santina's
10 out of 10!
Service, Food, and Ambiance is like no other.

Outdoor dining - Covid Safety precautions - Comfortable Atmosphere

I'm so glad I chose this restaurant for a Christmas Eve dinner with my bf. I ate it all by myself but I didn't feel uncomfortably stuffed. DELICIOUS 😋. This place is spacious, pretty and welcoming with friendly and hardworking staff. I cannot wait to go back and have some espresso with gelato. I LOVED my duck ragu....yum!

It's absolutely incredible. From the minute you walk in you are instantly transported. Nbumv

From the music to the weather and the outdoor dining, this place is a true slice of Italy in Northern California

Just a great little spot for lunch in the outdoor courtyard. We had four different entrees, we agreed, all were delicious. My tortellini was scrumptious. A very definite return is in the works!!!
