Guiso Latin Fusion

Birthday for my daughter.

The food, the staff and the owner is amazing. We had an amazing dinner and will definitely be back.

Excellent Latin informed cuisine with unusual flavors. Great small plates, and the atmosphere is relaxing.

The young lady who took our order made us feel like "members of the family". This is an impressive find for me. I'll definitely revisit Guiso Latin Fusion.

Amazingly wonderful food and phenomenal service! Our new favorite in Healdsburg!

It was a great experience tasting versions of Salvadorian foods and latin foods. The restaurant itself is rather small .Food excellent ;very friendly waitress but a little pricey

This family-owned and operated restaurant in the heart of Healdsburg is truly a dining gem! The menu consists of family recipes from Central and South America, passed down through generations (grandmother to daughter to grandson), prepared by the grandson and served by the family members. Everything is prepared fresh as you order it, and is a great fusion of old-world sauces and entrees with today's farm-fresh ingredients. It is truly a taste sensation, and not your typical Latin cuisine. Reservations are required as it's a local favorite and there are not many tables. Plan ahead and don't miss out!!

Excellent food and warm, welcoming service

As always, the food and service was excellent. My wife and I had Tacos de Pescado (local cod) as our appetizer and the Pescado con Coco, sautéed halibut, cooked to perfection, with a lime foam to give it a beautiful citrus finish. It was served on a saffron rice base with a hint of mango and vegetables.
Chef Carlos always greets and makes feel welcome. This is our favorite restaurant in Healdsburg.

Guiso was the perfect family owned restaurant. The food was amazing and the service was beyond exceptional. Plan to be there for a few hours as food is cooked in front of you as you order but it is so worth it. We would definetley go back and highly recommend you trying this quant little place.

Staying in Guerneville for the weekend from Mountain View and tried this restaurant for the first time due to great Yelp reviews. A small, intimate, family-run restaurant with wonderful ambience. Only minor downside is that some of the seats are in the path of the doorway, which during the cooler weather is a bit drafty each time guests enter the restaurant. We found out that some people make specific reservations for the tables that are away from the door. Servers are warm and very attentive and take the time to explain the dishes to you and which ones are special family recipes. We enjoyed the pupusas (grandma's recipe), vegetables sauteed in a delicious tomato sauce, and warm, soft homemade dinner rolls with herb butter as appetizers and then savored the tasty brothy paella (different from style you're used to) chock full of homemade chorizo, shrimp, clams, and mussels cooked to tender perfection. We would highly recommend this restaurant and would return again when we are in the area.

Excellent food, enthusiasm from chef and his fiancé. Looking forward to going back soon.

Delicious mom and pop restaurant. Small but delicious menu- presentation and playing impeccable. The halibut was so fresh and the salad delicious and creative!

This family owned treasure of a restaurant is so wonderful. The food is unique, delicious and authentic. The service is personal and prompt. Guisos is very busy ALL the time and a small intimate space, so I recommend making reservations. Bon Appetite !!!

would highly recommend Guiso...family owned with family recipes used in their dishes..

This place is a family run gem. Great food and service.

My wife and I had a delicious dinner here on a Sunday night. Our waitress, Valerie (the chef's sister) patiently explained all the dishes to us and made us feel very welcome. We paired four small bite dishes (brussel sprouts, prawns with the chef's special Guiso sauce, fish tacos, and Cuban pork sliders) with some Gewürztraminer wine. All the dishes were bursting with flavor. The space is small with just a few tables, but the experience was great. We would definitely come back.

This has to be one of the finest restaurant meals I have had ... ever. From the wonderful ambiance to the impeccable service, and the most wonderful tasting food, this restaurant is near perfection. Humble, authentic food that they clearly love to share with their patrons. I will be back!

Delicious flavors presented beautifully!

Very creative menu, great service, always a treat to spend an evening at Guiso

If you're like me, the word "Fusion" in the name or description of a restaurant gives you pause for concern. But in this case, forget about it. There's no need for concern. Instead, think "family." As in, these are someone's family recipes, traditions, and memories brought to life as food for us to enjoy. This is very much a "family restaurant" in every sense of the word. Our server, Valeria, is a member of the family who owns this lovely, though tiny, Salvadoran restaurant. It is, in fact, her brother's dream come to life. Her grace and hospitality made us feel welcome and as though we, too, were now part of their family. Her joyous pride in their collective accomplishment could not have been more apparent.

When you go there (and I urge you to do so - and often), be prepared to dine "family style." Not seated on long communal tables, but rather plan to order dishes you'll share with your friends and family. My wife and I shared the Brucelas con Chorizo (roasted brussels sprouts, house made chorizo, jamaican jerk spice butter sauce, cilantro lime cream, cotika cheese) as an appetizer. Then we shared the Paella Caribena as an entree. They were each a wonderful new taste experience. Warm, flavorful, spicy-yet-not-hot. A rare balance in Latin American food, and one that we found to be remarkable. Maybe that's the "fusion" of it all.

We can't wait to return to try some of the other amazing dishes we saw served. Recommend you get advanced reservations, though, as this establishment is indeed "cozy" and fills up fast. Good place for date night, a special occasion or celebration, or just for good eats. You won't be sorry you went!

Absolutely all was wonderful for a fun Friday night

The food was delicious. We shared the Paella and Pupusas. The chef personally cooks each dish. The place was small but personable.

Food was delicious! On Valentine's Day my wife and I decided to share four small plates and a dessert. All were excellent and either the chef or the waitress (his fiancee) took the time to explain the origins of each dish, the sauce, and any accompaniments. It is a small restaurant (only seven tables), so things are close and the decor is modest. Go there for the food and service. They are top notch and you won't be disappointed. The food is also served with some nice touches - French press coffee at the end of the meal, dessert served on an elegant slate tablet, etc.

The food was delicious, well prepared and well presented. The noise level was unpleasantly high and the seating was not comfortable but we would go back again because the food was excellent.

We liked this family run restaurant so much that we returned the next day. The food is fresh, homemade and delicious. The wine list has a nice variety to it. All dishes can be shared so be sure to try the Pupusas, fish tacos or even the vegetarian stew (Guiso vegetariano) for a starter. The paella caribeña is fantastic as an entree. This restaurant is a gem.

Our second time there. It was as good as the first time. Tasty innovative food. A family run small restaurant with a warm “homelike “ feeling. A gem in Healdsburg. Will definitely return.

Great food at great prices. Loved the flavors and family.

Fabulous service, fabulous food!

Great dining. Wonderful food and service. Will go back again.

The food, service and ambiance was outstanding. What really comes across in the food is passion for creating delicious family recipes. My son who dined with us and is 10 (and picky when it comes to food) said it was the "best he'd ever tasted". Absolutely amazing - I would highly recommend Guiso Latin Fusion! You won't be disappointed...

We loved it! Felt like we were having dinner at the chef’s home. So cozy and delicious! Highly recommended to us and agree 100%. Well done chef!!

The place is a gem in Healdsburg for locals and visitors alike. RUN THERE!

Had an amazing time and food to come back to time and time again

So enjoyable! Loved the family run atmosphere, the family recipes and the food was amazing! The service was the exceptional. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely go back!

We were referred here by one of the winery managers. Boy she nailed it. Everything was an explosion of flavor. We will be back for sure. Thanks!

Really great food in a friendly setting. Try all the bocadillos, you won't be disappointed!!

We dined with our foodie friends who were visiting from Phoenix and had the most fabulous meal. Not to be missed is the paella and its savory broth. We will be back again and again and again.

We had a lovely time for a birthday celebration with a party of 7. Everyone was delightful, The chef came and spoke with us and was great. The food was amazing and it was a reasonable price as well. This place is such an amazing jewel and we will be back often!

Great menu. Fish tacos, sliders and Brussels sprouts enough for four people. Wi return.
