yukaEIC "A Restaurant Industry Crawler"

With a beautiful decor and a courtyard nicely tucked away from tourist happy hour madness, Affronti is a much desired wine bar addition to the cool Healdsburg downtown hub.

Was very impressed with the price points and some of the cool varietal of Southern European wines they had on top of of course the Sonoma selection. Flavorful deviled eggs can be ordered from just one piece for just $1! It’s great to be able to try many things rather than getting full from one big heavy entree.

We had that devilishly delicious deviled egg, marinated shiitake and local greens salad, mushroom and bacon tartines, and Italian sausage and fish en papiote for entrees. All tasted fresh and very seasonal with a lot of bright Southern European flavor.

For dessert we had their chocolate terrine. The sweetness, savoriness and the bitterness were all well balanced. We got a pot of French pressed coffee and we were super impressed by the amazing aroma. They get their beans from Taylor Maid Farms who sells organic and fair traded coffee beans and teas. It’s always great to see a local business supporting another local business, and even better when they are sustainable.
