We live part-time in Sonoma and take full advantage of many of the superb restaurants in Napa as well as Sonoma counties. After three recent lunches at Tra Vigne, it has become our favorite. We like to have a late, leisurely two-hour (or longer) lunch on the veranda. (An advantage of dining outside -- besides the fountains, sculptures, serenity and... more

The food was quite good, on par with the high quality at other restaurants we visited in St. Helena. What truly charmed us was the outdoor patio with its brick enclosure, dappled sunlight, and artistic fountain. A truly relaxing & refreshing dining experience. more

My wife and I were recently married at Tra Vigne. The food is great and the location is beautiful but we had to take the time to complain about the wedding coordination staff, which was horrible. The coordinator we worked with throughout our planning of the event cancelled at the last minute and had her assistant fill - who was... more

I wish I had gone on a long hike before I ate dinner here so I could have eaten all my pasta! I ordered the pappardelle with rabbit ragu and it was excellent!! (better than Batali's wild boar ragu) The pasta was fresh and cooked to perfection and the ragu itself was delicious, no fatty or gristly bits at all... more

One of our favorite Italian restaurants. Indoor and outdoor seating with outside pizzeria. Nice wine list with good wines by the glass, especially the house wines. Corkage fee is waived for the first two bottles of wine brought in. The fig and gorgonzola pizza was a great appetizer. The butternut squash ravioli was excellent; but the rabbit pappardelle was succulent.... more

I gave the atmosphere 5 stars because the outside seating is a lovely place to eat. The inside I would give 3 stars. The food is okay. Service was fair. I like their family restaurant better than this place. more

This place had been recommended by friends. We took an old pal to lunch, there . It was a disaster . The special " hot soup" was served barely tepid. Our friend ordered chicken. It was practically raw. Inedible. A bad experience from beginning to end. more

We had such a good meal on the first afternoon, we went back for dinner the second night. We had some excellent recommendations made by our server, Neil, on an afternoon sitting on the patio sampling appetizers after wine tasting. The cocktails with the fresh muddled rasberry were amazing! Neil was so awesome, we asked for him the next night... more

Had dinner here with wifey in late June, 2009. Neither of us were all that impressed. To go: #1) Beautiful room & patio #2) Unpretentious sommelier #3) Good service Not to go: #1) Food is average, doesn't live up to the hype #2) You can't eat the atmosphere #3) Not all that special. Plenty of better/more unique choices nearby more
