A relatively new restaurant in Sonoma, Cucina Viansa describes itself as a gourmet kitchen and wine bar. It has a fantastic location, right in the center of town and amid several outstanding tourist attractions.
The decor is very pleasant, reminiscent of an Italian deli. Well lit with walls of polished wood, black and white checkerboard floor and shiny deli display cases. Suits of armour stand guard between the round dining tables.
There is a fine selection of panini (sandwiches) all priced at $6.95 All are served on your choice of sourdough or herbed focaccia bread. If you choose a pasta salad, you can order small($2.49), medium ($4.29), or large ($6.95) depending on your appetite that day.
Daily Rotisserie Offerings are also available at $8.95 to $14.95 (depending on entree) each includes salad and focaccia bread. The day we visited, a wonderfully aromatic and deliciously flavored Veal Piatto was served at $9.25. An excellent choice! Portions are quite adequate and the wait staff is young and very pleasant.
All foods and box lunches are available for take out.
