What Our Guests Say About Alesta
Food like it's straight from Istanbul, ending with Turkish coffee, just like I remember. Alesta is where it's at — authentic, warm, and unforgettable.
— Chris R.
We had heard about Alesta opening and were excited to give it a try. Greek and Middle Eastern cuisine is a favorite, and the menu is a wonderful mix of both traditions.
— Scott M.
Welcoming and warm. I sat at the bar on a Thursday evening — half the tables were full, the energy was great. The lamb shank was absolutely incredible.
— Heather B.
The benchmark of fine Mediterranean food in Sonoma County. Along with a few other greats, Alesta is my new favorite restaurant after just one visit.
