Reviews for Tasca Tasca - Portuguese Tapas and Wine Bar in Sonoma, CA

Food is definitely great, however they served WINE in a WATER CUP and the justification is that this is how they do it in... Portugal. Well, I?ve lived there for 3 months and have NEVER SEEN such thing. In a city that the whole tourism is around wine,you should show a little more appreciation for your customers. I have never been to a restaurant in my life where I was poured a$50 wine in a water cup. Another thing that really bothered me is that the WEBSITE prices were $10 cheaper than the menu andwhen asked, they said ?we FORGOT TO UPDATE THE PRICE?. That?s not how it should be. Very DISAPPOINTED with service overall. Read more

Raw scallops on cucumbers and jalapeno, gazpacho soup, goat stew, Mac and cheese, crab empanadas, raw oysters, and a tomato... mozzarella mix. All SO very very good!! We each had a sangria, and the hubby had a house red wine. All for $80 or a little less.So for Sonoma, I think reasonably priced and you get 7 choices of food for that price. Read more

This place was absolutely excellent! We ordered almost everything on the menu and it was all fantastic. It was reasonably priced... as well. We split about 21 small plates among 4 people with drinks and it was less that $100 per/person. A few highlightsincluded: the cheese medley, the duck breast, and the steak tartare. I would reorder everything though. My only suggestion forimprovement would be that the servers weren't very knowledgeable about the menu. Read more

Tapas are good but simple. Could use some improvement in the kitchen. For example, the tomato salad (which was recommended by... the waitress) was just Lebanese cucumber slices with halved cherry tomatoes. For 7-9$ per dish, you'd expect better. Read more

Good quality food and service. The decoration was also very well done. As a Portuguese I felt it to be a good mix of portuguese... culture and cuisine with a Californian twist. Read more

Had a nice solo supper here sitting at the bar. A few things to note: 1. Order what you want up front. If you go to order... another single dish later, it will be at a higher price, which is neither disclosed on the menu or by the server (in my case, Iwas told specifically ?you can always add on another if you want more.?) 2. Everything I had, I?d eat again except for dessert.Here?s what I had - pickled veg (cauliflower with thin slices of carrot and celery. Very crisp but great flavor. Loved it morethan I expected) - crab empanadas. Comes with two small cookie sized empanadas and some dipping shmear. These were quite good. Iwished for two more. Breadcrumb outside, which was more croquette than empanada though there was pastry under? Who knows, it wasgood. But small. - duck breast. Best thing I?ve eaten in months. Chilled, well smoked, nice glaze, made a little open facedsammie with the Dijon and bread it comes with. Would have ordered this in an entree size. Holy yum. - linguica Mac and cheese.Not spicy, definitely tastes of linguica though only a few small pieces. Not super cheesy or heavy, which I appreciated. Wouldalso eat this again, more than once. - chocolate tart. Skip it. It?s a weak excuse for a tart shell with average chocolateganache and a sprinkle of sea salt. Completely underwhelming. - olive oil ice cream. Drizzled with olive oil and sea salt. I didenjoy this, but for the same cost I?d take any of the savory choices again instead. Staff was attentive and friendly, ambiancewas nice with Fado playing in the background. I loved that. Try a white port and tonic, if you?ve been to Portugal you knowthat?s legit. On a Tuesday night I made reservations but didn?t really need it. While busy, it wasn?t packed. I imagine weekendswould be. Read more

My Wife and I had a great time as first-timers at this cool, quaint restaurant! First off Kimberly was so on-point and helped to... adjust our reservations TWICE due to us running late. Andreas and another young lady were the best hosts! The food was good,background music was timely, and we can't wait to return! God bless! Read more

This place is absolutely AMAZING. The tapas was fabulous and the service was very commendable. We got the crab empanadas, the... squid salad, Perri Perri potatoes, steak tartare, striped bass ceviche, Portuguese flan, Olive oil ice cream and a few Quinasbeers (thirsty from a trail run before this) The food was not heavy and I left a very happy diner. Highly recommend and I willbe back to try out the other pork tapas they have. Read more
