    Everything was amazing! Sat outside on the patio with a heater so my pup could join and it was perfect. We enjoyed splitting a bottle of the house white wine, Caesar salad, capellini pomodoro, spaghetti carbonara & of course the bread & oil! Our server was wonderful, too!

    The gnocchi was outstanding and my friend loved the tripe. I always love the papardelle with Duck Raju. The tiramisu is the best anywhere! I took some home! The service was attentive and very friendly. The owner stopped by for a friendly hello too. Ambience in the garden outstanding!

    Everything about The Depot was wonderful!! We were seated immediately for our 5:30 reservation, and our server was very attentive from the beginning. From our drink order through the appetizer and finally the main courses, our server was very attentive and personable. The timing of courses couldn’t have been better, we were able to visit amongst ourselves and the items presentation was seamless and quick. The quality of the appetizer (calamari) and entrees was excellent! I can’t say enough good things about our experience at The Depot in Sonoma! I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone! 5 Stars!!
