Animo - Sonoma County

Fantastic and creative dishes with unique takes on traditional menu items. We'll see you again in summer of 2024!

Thank you, everyone at Animo. You were amazing every time. Turbot, duck, porterhouse... gonna miss them

Maybe the best meal I've eaten?The vibe of this restaurant is so good. It's unpretentious, tiny, and feels like you're at home waiting for your friends to feed you from their awesome wood burning kitchen. I wish I'd captured pictures of the ambience because it really felt like you were being served magic!You can see the kitchen fridge when you walk in and during the dinner you see it get emptied as they bring out dish after delicious dish. It's pretty special to see the ingredients listed in their raw form and have it appear in front of you all alchemised.Everything we ate was so different and unique from anything I've eaten and the portions were amazing too. It's hard to pick standouts but I'd order everything again in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, we were so full we couldn't order dessert (basque cheesecake) but I'll take any excuse to come back.Service was 100. Food 100. Ambience 100

We always loved coming here. The food is delicious and always good. The prices reflect the detail and the quality they spend so please be mindful. This is not some burger joint. We will miss it dearly- but we will be back for more at Golden Bear Station!

One of the very best restaurants in the Sonoma/Napa area. Four of us shared plates of appetizers: clams, mushrooms, scallops and tuna puttanesca. Each of these was fabulous: tremendous flavors. We also shared a whole turbot that was spectacularly good. The entire evening was exceptional.
