    Verano Cafe is a homely little restaurant near Maxwell Village, not far from Sonoma Plaza. Until recently they only did breakfast and brunch but now they have expanded to dinner Thursday through Saturday with 16(!) entrees on the menu. I ate the tender and delicious octopus served over a smear of polenta with drops of aioli before I remembered to take a picture. My wife had an excellent halibut with sweet potato chips and I chose the Coq au Vin which melted off the bone into a rich sauce that saturated the potato purée. This was an extraordinary meal cooked with care and inspiration. You should go.

    We have been to Verano for breakfast, lunch and dinner and find it amazingly consistent - hard to do when serving three meals a day. Dinner was particularly wonderful and a BIG nod to our server who was an incredibly attentive young man. We shared the flounder and the pork chop. Both came with sides and provided an ample portion. We opted to trade out the mashed potatoes on one of the entrees for the vegetable risotto and were not disappointed. So happy to have this neighborhood gem!

    So nice to have a reasonably priced restaurant with a diverse menu, good food and very friendly service in town. Sonoma needs more local places like this gem.

    Excellent! We were 5 diners on a Thursday night. The options for a main course were so interesting that we each picked a different dish. Everything was cooked perfectly and delicious. Not easy for any restaurant. Our suggestion is that a better wine list be offered to complement the excellent food. Cheers to the chef and our wonderful waiter. We will be back to check out breakfast/brunch. Thank you!

    Hash browns were dry, 1 of the 2 over medium egg yolks were broken and fully cooked hard. Pancake was cold and served on a cold plate, that the butter could not melt on it.

    This is such a sweet place! I will be back. Homemade pasta, stand-out bone marrow appetizer and perfect dessert. The service was warm and attentive, never invasive.
