If they ever took the truffle fries with aioli off the menu at Jackson’s restaurant in Santa Rosa, I’d lose my mind. Same with the fig salad at Girl and The Fig or the scallops en croute at Valette. We asked our readers what local dishes they can’t live without. Here’s what they said. Share your favorite dishes in the comments.
Plus spicy chicken momos, aloo gobi and other Indian and Nepalese favorites in Santa Rosa
Pasta Puttanesca at Cafe Citti
You can’t get Pliney bites at the Russian River location in Windsor. They only serve them at the Santa Rosa location.
Anything from cafe Citti. Bignet at Jacksons
Brussel Sprouts at the Glen Ellen Star. Worth a nod from Michelin all by itself.
