Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Martinez

Bella Sienna remains the only true, fine dining establishment in the Benicia/Vallejo area. It's our go to place when we want a four star meal with a view. The cocktails are the finest around. Our server Valentino, who we have encountered multiple times, is knowledgeable, witty, charming and knows just how to please demanding customers like us.

Went for my boyfriends birthday, as a first timer it most definitely won’t be our last! The service from Ian was AMAZING of itself but the food was perfect! Such an awesome experience and we cannot wait to come back with friends and family.

I used to love this place, then I moved abroad for 20 years, but went here again, and it is just as good as I remember!! grilled perfection! the dining room is cozy and warm, the booth seats comfortable. our server was the best - attentive but not intrusive - he really did an outstanding job (don't recall his name but has worked there 9 years and has 2 little kids, brown hair with some facial hair - shout out to him - he did a great job!) appetizers arrived lightning fast - aubergine and warm pita, grilled stuffed calamari(YUM), lamb meatballs (nomnomnom), baked gigante beans. mains were lamb skewers (yum) and branzino(5star), which was insanely delish and highly recommended. dessert was baklava, which I don't normally love, but theirs was sooo good and spicy, I highly recommend, and we got an ice cream sundae which was enormous and tasty. im so pleased Kokkari is still around and better than ever. great meal - thanks to the entire team!! can't wait to go back !!

The breakfast Sandwhich is one of the tastiest I’ve had in the Bay Area. This is a unique gem, highly recommend.

Definitely my favorite restaurant in the Bay Area! The location is nice, parking is easy to find, and the service is wonderful. The food is always excellent and thoughtful and well presented. Always the go to restaurant for celebrations.
