Mamma Tanino's Ristorante

This is a homey, cozy, simple place for a casual dining. There were three of us and we one of our choices was awesome- the meat was so soft and tender that it was just melting in the mouth. Clam linguine and bolognese pastas were pretty good as well. The restaurant is very popular among locals and certainly worth checking it out.

This restaurant was a recommendation from a local that worked at a winery we went to. If you are in Sonoma do yourself a favor and check this place out. Hands down the best authentic Italian food we have had. Everything was fresh and homemade. The owner is also the chef. The menu is small but everything we had was superb. It was like we were sitting in a little restaurant in Italy.

What an absolute treasure. The infused olive oil started off the experience and then every course just nailed it. The calamari, carbonara, Bolognese and pork chop Marsala were phenomenal. If you are looking for ok Italian food skip it because this place is nothing less than fantastic. Strongly recommend. Apparently only open on the weekends currently so plan accordingly.

This was the first time I had eaten at mamma taninos. We arrived there on Sunday night at about 7 p.m. Upon entering we were greeted with hospitality. We were happy that we were able to dine there without a reservation. There was only two of us, I would suggest to get reservations. A place was full of happy people talking and eating. The servings are very generous and the prices are reasonable. My companion got a pasta with shrimp which was fantastic. I ordered the veal in a mushroom cream sauce with fresh steamed vegetables on the side.. We were given our drinks and a small loaf of bread with some garlic olive oil. When our food arrived we were awe-stricken at the large servings and the fresh smell of pasta! The food was fantastic. I will be sharing with my friends about this fantastic find. I will be going back for dinner this week.

Mamma makes pasta with love. Came in for some pasta carb loading before the big race. Also enjoyed a little personal celebration. Had the Pappardelle Bolognese which is my standby for carbing. It was not bad. Sauce a bit meh but it did the trick. We also got a special of the day - a mushroom pasta which we thought was vegetarian but just a bit of miscommunication. No big deal it was quite good. We got a chocolate soufflé for desert which was their treat. A little something for our celebration. Much appreciated and a nice combo with vanilla ice cream. Super friendly folks here and gracious hosts. The food did the trick - filled our bellies and had a great time.

Probably the best restaurant in the area - we love Mamma T’s for many reasons - the owners, the coziness, the owners (lol), the convenience, the consistency - but mostly because the food is so darn good that I am regularly dreaming about it. Specifically, the eggplant Parmesan ... and the pan-fried mozzarella ... and the burrata... omg and the cannoli is to die for. The Italian montepulciano is delicious and the coffee is even great. If I could eat here three times a week and not gain weight, I would do it in a heartbeat. Yum. Divine. Gaetano you are a master Italian chef! You and Kim make us smile for days every time we come in.
