Great food and great people. The pork chop valdostana alone is reason to go, but their extremely ample and varied menu has something for everyone.

My boyfriend took me to Eddie's Kitchen for a date night in the middle of the week. After checking this place out on Yelp, I was eager to try the fettuccine pesto salmon. Even though this is a lunch menu item (and according to past reviews, sometimes a special), my boyfriend asked our waiter if they offered it at dinner, and to our pleasant surprise, the waiter said they could do it for us! It was as creamy and delicious as people say, and the salmon was literally cooked to perfection -- sooo tender and soft! My boyfriend ordered the prawns paradise, which was also super flavorful and tasty. Both pastas were definitely on the heavy side, being cream-based sauces, so we both took leftovers home. For dessert we ordered the bread pudding and tiramisu. I am a big tiramisu girl but the bread pudding actually stood out more to me! Service was friendly and decently attentive throughout the night. Would highly recommend this spot for delicious pastas and desserts.

We arrived here for a New Year's Eve dinner. The reason we decided to eat here was because we wanted to keep the tradition alive to have Italian food for NYE. The streak has been going on for a few years now. Starting the New Year with Italian food is always a great thing. Eddie's Kitchen is located in a nice area in downtown Santa Rosa. Parking was free, easy, and plentiful in the parking lot next door. The vibe was inviting and cozy. It had a mom and pops owned restaurant feel to it and that's how comfortable I felt. We enjoyed the complimentary focaccia bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I ordered the chicken parmigiana and it was delicious. I'm a big fan of chicken parmigianas and this parmigiana ranks right up there. My Caesar side salad was scrumptious as well. Our server was kind enough to let us order a half order each for both of our kids's entrees. The half order portion was still hearty and fulfilling. For dessert the cream brûlée was sweet and tasty. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We appreciated the great service for a NYE dinner. Our experience at Eddie's Kitchen was top notch. We enjoyed our dinner, the ambiance, and the service. Hopefully we can be back for the happy hour specials.

Always nice to try a new spot. Head dinner with my mom and she loves this place. We went at 5 for happy hour. Both had a half ginger salad, a shrimp taco and red sangria from the HH menu. Salad hit all the notes it claimed. The shrimp taco was flavorful with the fresh salsa. Oh and after we were seated they brought us fresh house focaccia, with olive oil and vinegar. Always a classic fave. For dinner I knew I needed something that would be good as leftovers so I went with the pappardelle bolognese. Pasta tasted freshly homemade and the Bolognese was rich and well rounded. Mom enjoyed her shrimp in a creamy garlic sauce, and the chef met her request of light sauce on her pasta, so she was happy. No room for dessert after all that! Servers were all very nice and and attentive. The place was festively decorated for Valentine's Overall we had a lovely experience.

Just had a solid lunch. Great friendly service with plenty of parking nearby. They have many Italian dishes and a good selection of steaks. I got one of the best pork chops ever made and it was amazing. I was here with a group of people and we were all very impressed. I definitely will be back soon.

My wife and I made reservations with the help of Yelp for New Year's Eve dinner. The restaurant was busy but we were greeted quickly. The menu has a lot of great choices. While we were deciding, some soft cubed focaccia bread was served with olive oil and balsamic. Tasty! We ordered the garlic bread, big beans and fried calamari for appetizers. All were delicious but I thought the calamari was the best I've enjoyed in Santa Rosa. My wife is vegetarian and liked her mango ginger spring salad. I had the NY Steak. I was good but I wished I had it medium rare instead of medium. The food to a little longer to arrive as the kitchen was super busy. The place was very festive with the Christmas spirit. We look forward to returning:)

Ordered take out from Eddie's. Everything was amazing! Can't wait to go eat in person! The shrimp with the lemon garlic pasta was cooked perfectly! The cannolis were so delicious. Not sure how anyone could eat two but yum! Best pasta I've had in awhile and portion sizes were right for the price. Check this place out!

Delicious! Our first time to this restaurant and didn't disappoint. Started off with a beer on tap, a henhouse IPA. Ordered up the chicken piccata, they had so many of my favorites...what a great choice, I did substitute the veggies/potatoes for angel hair pasta. It was scrumptious! I will be back to get something else... or might just get the piccata again. My wife had a giant bone pork chop and loved it. Added a glass of la crema Pinot to go with my piccata. Service was good, waiter a bit on the timid side, but very friendly. We came to this place when it was an Indian restaurant, is definitely updated with a very open floor plan. We will definitely be returning.

There is only a little to look at from the outside but very nicely decorated on the inside. We came at 5:30 on a Tuesday and there were plenty of empty tables for us. First off, the service was fantastic throughout the entire meal. Brenda was our server. The place looked great and the tables were not crowded together. Brenda greeted us as we were seated and took our order for our drinks. She brought out some small pieces of bread along with oil and vinegar. We ordered eggplant parmesan and chicken marsala. I noted that the eggplant parmesan was baked, I like it crispy but decided to order it anyway. The meals were delivered quickly and hot. My eggplant was flavorful of tomatoes, herbs, mozzarella, and parmesan. The eggplant could have used a little more garlic and basil for my taste but was a good solid sauce. My wife liked her chicken marsala and would order it again. She makes her own so that is a compliment. To top off the meal, I ordered a bread pudding and it was good but not great. A little dry in the middle and not a lot of flavor. We are looking forward to going back in the future and trying some of their other meals. Good solid meal with great service and did not break the bank.
