About the restaurant

Nestled among the historic buildings surrounding Sonoma's iconic plaza, LaSalette Restaurant has earned its reputation as one of Sonoma Valley's favorite dining destinations since its inception in 1998. Chef Manuel Azevedo's signature Cozinha Nova Portuguesa ("New Portuguese Cuisine") celebrates the diverse and complex flavors of his native Portugal while adapting them to the bounty of top-quality ingredients found in California. The result is a distinctive cuisine that blends familiar Southern European comfort foods, exotic seasonings inspired by Portugal's centuries of global exploration, and fresh, seasonal Californian produce. As the continued success of LaSalette demonstrates, this fusion is a winning combination for lovers of traditional Portuguese fare and adventurous gourmets alike.

We had the 3 course special and everything was excellent. In today's world of price increases and continued expectation of tipping 20% a great value like the one we experienced puts a smile on your face. The staff was fabulous as well. Thanks!

We had a lovely time at Truss celebrating three birthdays at once, where the food was amazing and service impeccable. The atmosphere was elevated yet relaxed, and we really enjoyed the views of the resort and nearby mountains during the sunset. We were seated early without any issues based on our arrival and were treated to a complimentary dessert for our special occasion, which was a nice touch. Their sea bass dish was the highlight, with a perfect balance of flavors and texture at every bite. Overall the experience was wonderful and enjoyable!
