    You can always be assured that you'll get a great meal at Insalata's. Consistently good food, excellent desserts, and stellar service. It's one of my "go to" places -- especially with out-of-town visitors. Love sitting outside on their charming patio area.

    Insalata's is a longtime favorite of ours. Yesterday I took a friend there for lunch for her birthday. Sitting in the outside space was very pleasant. The host and server were both friendly, helpful, and efficient. We shared avocado toast; she had the misto salad with salmon, and I had the squid pasta with shrimp. We shared the pavlova and the celebration cake for her birthday dessert, with Happy Birthday written on her dessert plate. Everything was delicious.

    I had Salmon with a wonderful squash puree sauce. It was cooked to perfection. Also had Eggplant fries that were delicious and a lovely chocolate bourbon tart for desert and of course the Fatouch salad that's always a winner. It is worth the trip from SF to San Anselmo.

    This is where we go for a special dinner - it was our wedding anniversary. We shared two excellent dishes: an heirloom tomato and peach salad, and an amazingly rich vegetarian agnolotti. The service was attentive but not pesky. We love this place.

    We had a superb meal outdoors last night. The outdoor eating area was lovely and the food was delicious. My request for a table in the back was met, as well as my request for a candle in our dessert to celebrate a birthday. Our server, Sabine, was fabulous. Everything was perfect. 5 stars! Thank you.

    One of our favorite local restaurants. The flavors are unusual and always delicious. The service was not good. Slow, flustered....not the friendly, professional service which is the norm. Perhaps our waitress was new? Food was delicious as always.

    Great restaurant for lunch! Our food was fresh and delicious, and our server was attentive and friendly. We enjoyed the Eggplant Fries, the Hummus, and the Fattoush Salad (one with chicken and one with salmon. They are famous for the salad, and we understood why upon our first bite! We split the Celebration Cake for dessert, which is a large enough serving for four people to have a few bites each. Will definitely return the next time we’re in Marin.

    this is a wonderful restaurant! The rooms are spacious, with large, luscious paintings of fruits on the walls. the food is exquisite: we had eggplant fries with a green yogurt sauce, lamb chops with a slightly sweet sauce and tzatziki, fantastic fresh fettuccini with porcini, fresh peas and spinach, and barely seared ahi in an heirloom bean medley. The service was so attentive and the room was quiet.
