A portrait of restaurant consultant and Campanella co-owner Tom Rutledge's grandmother large in the covered patio seating area of his stylish yet snug restaurant inspired by East Coast Italian-American "red sauce" cuisine. The chef's 21st-century remixes of classics like the ones Nonna prepared in Brooklyn include marinara meatballs, butter beans, eggplant Parmesan, steamed clams with linguine, chicken cacciatore, and gnocchi with Bolognese ragout.
The mixologists at this verdant "bar-focused restaurant" whip up creative "garden-to-glass" cocktails meant for pairing with neo-comfort food whose ingredients, especially the produce, are primarily cultivated in west Sonoma County. "Umami bomb" mushrooms with sticky rice and the tofu with five-spice pistachio entice vegans and vegetarians at dinner, but with pork belly skewers, chicken wings to share, a smash burger, and pan-seared fish, there's plenty for carnivores and pescatarians.
The chef at this café, wine bar, and bottle shop prepares the primarily small bites—among them yellowtail crudo, ricotta tartine, duck-liver mousse, and baba ghanoush—in a semi-open kitchen, while her sommelier husband and his cheerful front-of-house team suggest pairings from the local-to-international natural wines the couple champion. With bar seating, high-tops, and several tables, the space is too big to feel like you're at a friend's party, but that's the vibe.
