What makes this restaurant unique:
Formerly il Bacio, we decided to go on Friday night for dinner. We've always enjoyed the wine and atmosphere, but now, with the name change, they offer a full menu. I had the halibut crusted in almonds and curry powder in a light cream sauce, and my wife had lemon caper chicken. Both dishes were outstanding.
Some friends who joined us ordered the burger (enormous and piled high with french fried onions), and the pork chop (easily two inches thick, bone-in, and absolutely beautiful). They also feature seared ahi tuna and beautiful steaks. We were all extremely impressed with our food.
I typically am not a fan of polenta because it tends to be "blah," but the polenta served as a side was amazing! Top it all off with a bottle of Calistoga Zin, and what a meal!
Besides a selection of fantastic wines, they also feature Scotches, and artisan beers.
