We were a party of 4. Two of us had the pork/beef Bolognese, made with fresh pasta and a delicious creamy sauce. The other two dishes were the halibut with house-made gnocchi and the mushroom risotto, delicious as well, with fresh mushrooms and tasty sauce. They serve Model bakery bread upon request. Salads were little gem with green goddess dressing and pickled onions and radishes - wonderful, and apple/beet salad (I think) which was crisp and delightful. Their hibiscus cocktails were light and tasty. Pottery made by the owner Jennifer Bennett is lovely and their no-tip policy a winner.

Inspired by Italy’s aperitivo hour, when public squares and streets are filled with lively conversation, Portico serves handmade and authentic Italian fare in Sebastopol in western Sonoma County.

Healdsburg

About the restaurant

Welcome to Arandas, where we bring the soul of Mexican cuisine to downtown Healdsburg. Housed within the prestigious Relais & Châteaux property, Hotel Les Mars, Arandas provides a warm and friendly ambiance where we hope our guests become family and their experiences are always elevated.

From traditional Mexican dishes to innovative fusion creations, Chef Adrien Nieto's menu is a celebration of the bold flavors that this diverse region has to offer. Think ceviches with accents of Japanese ingredients; tacos with Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flair; and even a Mexican-style hummus emboldened with burnt chiles, black sesame, huitlacoche, and house-made Tajin seasoning enlivened with Persian sumac.

Arandas takes its name from the city in Jalisco that’s also home to the third generation, family-owned tequila producer, Tequilas El Mexicano. This tequila will be featured prominently at the bar, along with other well-curated tequilas, mezcals, and rums.
