A word from Ca Bianca
Ca Bianca's cuisine is a blend from multiple regions of Italy, from Milano in the north to Sicilia in the south. Our delicious array of tantalizing dishes include house-made pasta and bread, perfectly cooked steaks, seafood classics, creative antipasti, garden fresh salads, and of course, rich… desserts.

Diner Reviews
  • "The food was Italian and very good. Excellent Lamb Shanks. The ambiance could be better. It is a nice big house with several rooms for dining. But the lighting is awful, and they could use a lighting expert to help make it have a warm glow. The service was pleasant, but slow, and my son in law got the wrong cocktail, but declined to complain. I would go back, armed with a small flashlight and maybe one of those look alike candles with a battery."

  • "Took friends to lunch and had the perfect combination of beautiful room, great food, good wine (a bottle I had had before), and knowledgeable servers. Ca Bianca is never a disappointment."

  • "Took my visiting friend from Santa Barbara to dinner here, after we had had dinner elsewhere that was quite nice on another evening, and this was hands down the best of all the food we had during her visit. I moved up here from Sta. Barbara and they have good restaurants too. I was glad to be able to take her to a place she could go home and rave about."

  • "This place has become our favorite. Most important is the creativity and the quality of the food. This is Italian food as it is prepare in the good restaurants of Italy. The setting is perfect with a casual elegance that make you glad to be there. The service is attentive ant pleasant. The owner is also sure to check on you to make sure that you are pleased with your dining experience. The prices are far lower than what you would expect...less than $90 per couple including tip."

  • "Food was great, as always. The waiter seemed to be clocking his visits at ultrahigh speeds, wanting to get the order in a hurry and move on. It definitely had a spoiling effect. Maybe my fault was not telling the owner of our discontent when he came to ask how our meal was. I'd go more often if the service was more reliably pleasant."

  • "Ca Bianca is one of my favorite places for carefully prepared Italian food in a beautiful setting. I always love the gnocchi and the butternut squash ravioli. The caesar salad is tangy and done perfectly. We tried the seafood pasta special, which was lovely….a very light tomato sauce and the freshest fish. The wine list has plenty of good choices, local and Italian. The service was friendly and efficient, without being too much. Marco and Karen have made this a special place for diners who love peace and quiet and simple elegance."

  • "Mother's Day dinner was fantastic as always. Our server Damian was incredibly sweet and fun! He even made sure every detail was taken care of with all the changes that were made to our order (I was the easiest no changes at all). Never had a mediocre let alone bad meal there and we've been going for years."

  • "What a beautiful restaurant! The walls are a pale yellow with gentle landscapes set into the wall and a blue-grey ceiling. The food is sensation. I had a wonderful avocado salad, followed by saltimbocca. The preparation reminded me of the sublime version I had had in Rome--sage sandwiched between the veal and the prosciutto. It was simply terrific! I followed that up with unforgettable cannoli. IT was without question the best casnnoli I have ever had--almond flavored, a very thin crust, sprinkled with almost slices and shavings. The house is surrounded by a pretty little garden. Service was beautiful. "

  • "We were in the Sonoma/Napa area for over a week with a group of people. We had a lot of great food and wine. The last night we wanted to stay close to our rental and decided to try this restaurant based on other reviews. What a great surprise. Not only was the food excellent the restaurant itself is beautiful and the people/service went above and beyond to make our dinner a perfect ending to our travels. My gnocchi was perfect, my husband has one of the specials, also excellent. We had to stop our uncle from licking the plate of his chicken dish. Everything was great. We would make a special trip back to Santa Rosa to go here again. We have already recommended it to other people."

  • "I consider this fine dining. Lovely surroundings with lots of old world charm as well as history. All 4 of our meals were excellent. Hand made pasta with lamb ragu very tasty. Waitstaff excellent, our waiter even gave us an upstairs tour after dinner. Look forward to returning. "

  • "Service(poor)male server rushed us to order even before we had a chance to review menu, then was no where when we were ready to leave. No smile nothing.Had to ask female server for bill. Needs to be more attentive."

  • "I go to this restaurant often. This visit was for a work lunch. Several of us came at different times and as each person arrived, they immediately took the order and delivered the drinks. They always have amazing food, excellent service and wine list. It is great when you want to be able to have a conversation without raising your voice and be able to hear across the table. The outside seating is fabulous, you can sit on the deck with all the flowering trees and shrubs."
    Dined on 4/15/2014
  • "Good location but parking somewhat tight. Seated promptly. Service slow by US standards but this is an Italian restaurant so we didn't mind, makes it more of an event as opposed to an activity. Wine list needs work. They are in wine country and have few wines by the glass and limited bottle selection. Polenta appetizer very good. Wanted arugula salad but they "didn't get their delivery (how about going to the local store?). Pear and gorgonzola salad was good. Chicken Marsala average, tasted like maple syrup. Pappardella with lamb very good. Would try again."

  • "We had a very delightful evening at a truly Italian restaurant on our visit to Sonoma County. This place really had the look and feel of Italy, and our meals were terrific. We would love to return to Ca Bianca on our next trip to Sonoma!"

  • "Ca Bianca restaurant is set in a beautiful victorian house. It is very romantic with good food and and excellent service. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who is celebrating a special occasion or just wants to spend a little more money for wonderful evening. It was my husband's birthday and I had informed the restaurant when I made the reservation on line. After dinner he was served a chocolate cake dessert with a candle in it. I was surprised because I forgot to remind my waiter about my husband's birthday when we first showed up."

  • "Selected the restaurant at random as this was our first visit and it was one of the few restaurants open for lunch on a Monday that appeared to have some panache. We were not disappointed. We ate on the porch surrounded by a beautiful garden of this old Victorian mansion. Food was very good and the service was superb. Restaurant is open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner. Some items were not on the menu but the server helped us to similar other items resulting in all four people in our party being very pleased. We will return."
    Dined on 3/17/2014
  • "Comfortable but elegant, good classic italian food with a lighter touch. I loved the mussels and clams appetizer and the tagliatelle with lamb sauce; my husband has enjoyed the seafood linguini and the fettucini with an angus beef sauce. The risotto with salmon from Sonoma restaurant week menu was perfectly cooked but a little salty for my taste. The Caesar is authentic and delicious. Good wine selection with plenty of Italian wines. Very friendly and competent service. This was my second visit. It's in an old white house with murals and chandeliers, wooden floors, an inviting bar and outdoor dining that looks like it would be nice on a summer night or after work some day. I'll no doubt be back. My family and friends all enjoyed it."

  • "We loved the ambiance and the Victorian home setting. Our service was outstanding, very attentive and friendly. We tried two of the entree options for restaurant week, the Pollo Ca'Bianca and the Fettuccine Al Ragu Genovese, both were delicious! The vanil;a bean panna cotta with fresh berries for dessert was the perfect ending to a wonderful meal."
    Dined on 3/12/2014
  • "It's my favorite place for an inexpensive, luxurious little meal. The food is always very good. But the ambience….that beautiful white victorian with cozy spaces….is what really sets it apart. Like dining at your elegant grandmother's house. Marco and Karen are terrific owners who don't cave in to fads."

  • "We have eaten at Ca Bianca five times now which is no where near enough as it is a terrific dining experience in every respect: ambiance, service, menu selection, food preparation/presentation, wine selection (AND pricing), and value. Our only regret is that we live too far away to become regulars, but whenever we're remotely close to Santa Rosa, Ca Bianca for dinner is a must. Indeed, anyone who lives in or near Santa Rosa is making a huge mistake if they do not go -- whether for special occasions or for no particular reason other than to enjoy a fabulous dining experience."

  • "Simply said....every time we go to Ca Bianca we are reminded about what it's one of our favorites."

  • "Had a very enjoyable meal! Food was very good, service was complete and the wines by the glass were very good! The only reason I couldn't go for to excellent was we had a problem with the person who ran our credit card as they didn't run it correctly and the amount was more than the meal should have been. It was quickly corrected but other than that mistake, everything was very enjoyable."

  • "It was a lovely way to mark my birthday. Food was delicious. Service was impeccable. My husband had the lamb shanks and I had the special -- a dover sole stuffed with spinach. A bit salty for my taste. We'll go back for another special occasion."
    Dined on 3/1/2014
  • "Absolutely the best in Santa Rosa. Ingredients were clearly fresh and top notch and preparation and presentation excellent. The service was very good as well."
    Dined on 2/21/2014
  • "Over the years we have found Ca Bianca to be great and sometimes just so-so. This last trip on a Sunday night was both. The service was slow and inattentive and the lamb shank was cooked almost to the point of jerky (and it was early in the evening). The rest of the meal, including cocktails, was fabulous.....their panna cotta is out of this world. It's a very comfy place and worth trying again and again. I do miss the antipasta di mare, no longer on the menu."
    Dined on 2/16/2014
  • "Starting with the spinach salad, full of great flavor and texture. For dinner had the delicious special of local rabbit with homemade pasta. Oh so good and mouth watering. The standards of this great place have been going on for over the 5 years that my wife and I have been going."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "The dinner and overall experience was excellent, but I will say my wife and I were half the age of everyone dining there. We did go on Valentines Day and even for as busy as they were, the service was excellent, my water was always full and the cocktails were excellent. Hopefully open table can bring a younger crowd there before the regulars die off."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "While our Valentine's Day visit was not our first time at Ca' Bianca, we find every time to be a special occasion. The owners are more often present than not...Marco and Karen. They are wonderful hosts. The food, to say the least, is always excellent and presented by a seasoned and attentive wait staff...most of them have been there for years. If you have not been to Ca' Bianca, your life is incomplete!"
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Very good northern Italian food, very good service, even on a busy night like Valentine's day. Situated in an old home, it has ambience and class. Prices are moderate--good for a restaurant like this. Wine list is quite complete and reasonably priced, offering choices for all palates and pocketbooks. We go often when we have time to dine leisurely and appreciate the food and setting."
