zazu - Sonoma Wine Country Restaurant Pictures

One of Wine Country's best restaurants, zazu features Northern Italian-inspired cuisine. zazu owner/chefs John and Duskie Estes cure their own meats into salumi, duck prosciutto, etc, and get much of their produce from a well-tended garden next to the restaurant. The zazu menu changes seasonally, but in the winter, don't miss the Ribollita, a delicious Tuscan Bean Soup that will have you licking the bowl, and year round zazu's menu features naturally raised flat iron steak with point reyes blue cheese ravioli and roasted garlic. zazu's wine list is focused on the locals, with lots of big name bottlings (Flowers, Kistler, Kosta Browne ) and an occasional excursion abroad. On the by the glass list, there's always a $5 selection at zazu. Bovolo , zazu's sister restaurant in Healdsburg, also features hand cured meats in fare designed for those on the go.
