This was my second time here and I loved the food. However, noise levels were too high largely because tables were inconsiderate of others. Would return.

Guiso is one of the best restaurants not only in Healdsburg, but anywhere. The food is high quality and delicious with multiple flavor options consistently complimenting each other. The service is attentive and efficient. The servers are fun and delightful, always with helpful and honest recommendations. Carlos and his staff do a wonderful job making the dining experience personal and fun. Highly recommend!

This is such a great place. A family restaurant, small meals so good to order more than one to share. I had the papusas and they were great. The rolls nice and warm. Staff were friendly and attentive. Made our trip from Washington DC worth it.

This tiny little restaurant in downtown Healdsburg truly captures the heart of Healdsburg. Creative use of fresh local ingredients, everything made from scratch and a happy chef and staff that love and believe in their food make this, as a local, one of my favorites. Absolutely the best paella I have ever had.

We’ve been here many times. This was an anniversary celebration. Chef Carlos was on top of his game and every dish was delicious. And of course presentation was also superb. Highly recommend the pupusas, the chalupa (cornmeal pancake—unusual but great) and enchiladas with smoked chicken. The wine list is just ok—we brought a bottle from their former list that they can’t get anymore and it was great. P

Friendly family run restaurant, they are obviously very proud of their food and their story. Food was very good, the family tomato sauce was yummy. Portions were a little small and we ended up ordering another dish to satisfy our hunger after wine tasting. I loved the shrimp with fingerling potatoes in tomato sauce. If I were to do it again I would order a side of their rolls to help soak up the remaining sauce.

Carlos, chef and owner, never fails to amaze my taste buds. Now that Guiso is open for lunch, it’s even easier for me to explore the possibilities on the menu, which changes, depending on what is freshest and ripest at the time. I’m always warmly greeted and Carlos always checks in with me. It’s very comfortable to dine solo. Lunch yesterday featured a fresh corn “pancake” folded over melted cheese and topped with a shredded salad. A little honey to the side. I think there is no end to the creativity shown at Guiso.

A wonderful, attentive, evening. Who wouldn't go back to sample more of their unique offerings, set in a friendly atmosphere? Some might call it pricey, or quarrel about the tourist clientele, but it's Healdsburg. Such comes with the territory. But these minor detractions can be set aside. Go. And prepare yourself for a wonderful, satisfying, evening.

Exciting to try new dishes that we would not have found anywhere else. Very taste! We ordered 3 platters for us two (2 women). That was perfect. The suggested wine was excellent. Wonderfully friendly, service-minded and knowledgeable waitress. I don’t know if any of the food is organic.

Excellent experience. Family very professional and warm who run the restaurant. I felt like I was eating in somebody’s home. The food was excellent. The pressed decaffeinated coffee was honestly the best I have ever tasted. Sadly we had no room for dessert. But the food could not have been better. No small wonder that they made it through the pandemic. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

A truly excellent meal! Excellent service during peak hours for a Saturday dinner. We were well guided by the server's recommendations and happy with everything we ordered. I'll gladly return so we can try everything on the menu, but based on the first meal there are no bad choices. For a small space with a tiny kitchen the food came out very quickly. We absolutely loved the variety of Salvadoran dishes done with both authenticity and ingenuity. The chef's love of food is apparent and the the restaurant is run in a way that makes it clear.
