A Tuscan-born chef makes bona fide
cucina Italiana
, using quality ingredients from local
farms, at this austere restaurant in downtown Forestville, worth the 15-minute drive from
Guerneville. The menu ranges from simple brick-oven pizzas to an all-Tuscan, five-course
tasting menu ($55, dinner only). When it's warm, sit on the patio beneath a giant redwood.
Make reservations.
Thursdays, three-course dinners cost $32.
Farmhouse Inn
NEW AMERICAN
$69/84; from 5.30pm Thu-Mon)
Special-occasion worthy, Michelin-starred Farmhouse changes its seasonal Euro-Cal menu
daily, using locally raised, organic ingredients like Sonoma lamb, wild salmon and rabbit -
the latter is the house specialty. Details are impeccable, from aperitifs in the garden to
tableside cheese service, but detractors call it precious. Make reservations.
