" Every time I visit Sonoma, The Plaza Bistro is on my list! Their pasta dishes are exquisite, especially the shellfish linguini—lots of flavor. The staff is always amiable and attentive, making every visit feel special. I had my last lunch outside on the patio, which adds to that lovely experience. Prices are higher but worth every dime for the quality you're given. Please don’t ever change, Plaza Bistro! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to many places in Sonoma, but The Plaza Bistro stands out for its authentic Italian flavor! The gnocchi was soft and melted in the mouth while the marinara sauce tasted homemade. My friends ordered the seafood risotto, and they were equally impressed. It's always nice to see a restaurant that cares about quality, and this one definitely does. I found the prices reasonable given the quality of the food. Highly suggested! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Plaza Bistro was simply lovely. The service staff was warm and welcoming from the start. The basil pesto pasta was exceptional and not oily, as I’ve experienced elsewhere. My dining partner and I felt rejuvenated when dining in their peaceful atmosphere; we could hear soft music playing in the background. This is a cozy, laid-back place to enjoy some authentic bites! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner here on a special occasion and it was absolutely worth it. The staff surprised us with complimentary desserts that truly touched our hearts. The sandwiches were fresh, filled with goodies, and overflowing with flavor. The ambiance felt cozy during the evenings, making it a perfect date spot. I'll definitely be returning for more delicious meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! Truly appreciate everything about this restaurant. The food was heavenly, especially the seafood linguini. The wine list was extensive, and the atmosphere was chic yet comfortable. The service shone through as well; our server had knowledge of the menu and provided superb recommendations. This is my new favorite spot in Sonoma! " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I were delighted with our dining experience! Everything from the appetizer to the dessert was elaborate and enchanting! We especially loved the tiramisu, which was molded beautifully and tasted heavenly. The waitress was extremely helpful and made our visit even better. We cannot wait to dine here again; it felt like a slice of Italy! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience was average. I was hoping for more based on the reviews. The food was good, particularly the seafood pasta, but the service was just okay—our server seemed overwhelmed and forgot some of our orders. The ambiance was pleasant, but I expected something more inviting. I wouldn't say I wouldn't come back, but perhaps I'd search for other options in the area next time. " (*Curated Review*)
