Affronti

About

Ambiance: White venetian plaster walls and dark brown leather furnishings blend with modern art by local artists to offer a space that is wine country with a decidedly contemporary feel. The inside dining room is dominated by a horseshoe shaped wine bar with seating  options that include  banquettes, cozy freestanding tables for two and  a comfortable lounge area with fireplace . Outside the courtyard offers protected dining with lush plants and a small waterfall adding to the relaxed, “get away from it all” mood.

 

Cuisine: An all day continuous menu of contemporary small plates, salads, and bar bites featuring locally sourced ingredients with Mediterranean influences.   Weekend afternoon tea service will combine pastries and tea sandwiches with a uniquely wine country spin, while Sunday brunch will focus on light fare with Cal Med flair.  A unique aspect of Affronti’s menu is its mix and match small plates feature that allows diners to pick tops, bottoms, sides and toppings.

                                                                                           

Drink- Over 30 wines from Sonoma and Southern Europe (with limited selections from Napa and Mendocino) will be available both  by the glass and in value oriented carafes - including a house private labeled Sonoma red and white.  There will be a slant towards local wines derived from Mediterranean varietals- with some imports featured both as a comparative basis in flights and as an option for sophisticated locals seeking something different.   Affronti will also offer inventive wine cocktails, local microbrews, fragrant iced teas and flavorful sodas prepared with house made syrups.  A full array of organic coffee drinks will be available, as well as full leaf, organic and fair-trade minded teas.

 

Price Range: Light appetizers and salads range from $5 to $9 while slightly larger plates are $8 to $12.  Add-ons and side dishes go from $3 to $5.  Nibbles average $4.  Wine by the glass will range from $7 to $14 (with 500 ml carafes proportionally priced for added value)
