Canneti Roadhouse Italiana

Canneti Roadhouse may be one of Sonoma County's best kept dining secrets. The unassuming Italian restaurant in Forestville is small and cozy, with a familial vibe that you might find at a Roman trattoria. One basket of freshly made bread in, and you'll realize that the kitchen here is no joke. Chef Francesco Torre is cooking the food of his youth, like chickpea tagliatelle carbonara, house sausage ravioli and organic mozzarella with roasted spaghetti squash. Tasting menus are available if you'd like a chef-guided journey through the menu, and a Sunday family dinner caters to those who are dining in groups. It's really the ambience here, though, that makes Canneti such a treasured restaurant. Whether dining by flickering candlight inside or in the cool blue dusk on the outside patio, you'll feel like you've stumbled upon an Italian grandmother's home in the Tuscan countryside—and trust us, you won't want to leave.
