Ginochio's Kitchen

Truly amazing day last Friday!! Stopped at Ginochio’s Kitchen in Bodega for lunch and had their sandwich The Piggy! Very good pulled pork sandwich! A little more in the sweet side than I like but still a great sandwich! I just like a bit more smoke and salt!! Indoor / outdoor seating and a good selection of foods. Just a day dream for this fanatic foodie!!! But for real!! SALUTE!!

I’ve been wanting to check out this cafe for a while now and today was the day. I liked that we could order at the window. This is not a vegetarian friendly place- nachos seem to be the only option. The prices are fair and the portions generous. It was a gorgeous day so we took in the sun and dined on their patio with a view. My son had the brisket sandwich- plenty of meat on it and he said it was tasty. I had the fish tacos- they were full with a lot of fish although the fish was a bit dry. I ordered a mimosa and let me tell you it could have been shared with two other people. I do not day drink much so ended up asking my son to drive us home. I’d like to return and try their breakfast menu sometime.

There was no line, yet we waited 25 minutes just to get food that was clearly reheated — the brisket tasted microwaved, the potatoes were overcooked and flavorless, and everything was bland. Completely not worth the money. If you want to ruin your morning, have breakfast here

Wow! What a gem! If you are looking for outstanding chowder, you have to try Ginochio’s Kitchen. Best chowder we have had in California. The owner is a sweetheart who knows everything about the town of Bodega Bay. Huge parking lot with lots of spots. Clean restrooms. Food comes out quick and piping hot. We finally got to try their breakfast burritos and they did not disappoint. Huge and filled with delicious pulled pork. We will definitely be back soon!
