The Red Grape

Met my Mom for lunch, the day before my birthday, to celebrate my birthday. My Mom loves this place & always has. I had the pear & gorganzola pizza, from their lu ch menu. Also one of their daily specials, a really yummy beet salad. Both were excellent choices. Absolutely recommend eating here. Enjoy.

Was just here yesterday and loved the holiday decorations. Their sweet and spicy cauliflower was delicious, would get it again. Their truffle onion rings were fluffy and loved the doughy texture. I couldn’t decide between 2 of the pizzas so they allowed to do half truffle mushroom and half street corn. The pizzas were pretty pricey for the amount they offered, but I would only get the truffle pizza again out of those 2 options. Their crimini truffle pasta was pretty good. The garlic bread wasn’t special. It wasn’t high quality Italian food, but it made a pretty good dinner for two. They had plenty of great vegetarian options to choose from!

It’s hard to choose where to eat when you are in Sonoma with wine on your mind. Six of us wandered through town stopping at boutiques and tasting rooms and asking the same question: “ Where’s a good place to get lunch?” The Red Grape was universally recommended. Ww tried four different pizzas, two salads, and a caprese salad. The white based, street corn pizza was my favorite. Flat, thin crust with corn, peppers, and spicy seasoning makes you think of upscale fair food. The Cobb salad had a balsamic dressing that added the exact right amount of acid with the creamy avocado. The Tuscan pizza is a red based, artichoke and calamato olives, and again, it is the balance of ingredients that really set this pizza apart from average fair. I had a glass of Three Fat Guys Rose and it was chilled and refreshing. Wide, high space with an open kitchen, swift service, comfortable tables, and an inviting ambiance make this a place you should pick when on Sonoma!

My Wife and I debated at where to go for our last dinner in the area. The Red Grape did not seem very busy so we thought maybe there was a reason. After looking at the very good past reviews we decided to try. We were greeted and sat right away. We ordered the Italian Sausage, mushrooms and cheese pizza along with a salad. Two items that we easily shared and everything was delicious. Top it off with a glass of red wine. Our dinner was perfect. The restaurant was clean and service was the best. Defiantly will revisit the next time we are in Sonoma. Thank you Red Grape!!
