Insalata's Restaurant is moving into it's 28th year of the community minded restaurants in San Anselmo. Insalata's receives Bib Gourmand from Michelin for it's 15th year in a row.
Our goal at Insalata's has always been to bring luscious Mediterranean food, gracious service and a warm atmosphere to our diners. For over 28 years we have shared this experience of intimate dining and joyful celebrations in a variety of ways. First and foremost as a fine dining restaurant with our beautiful private Siena room in which to sit and relax and enjoy a meal. We also offer take out dining for those days when time is of the essence, or catered affairs where we bring great food and staff into your home or venue. Our guests have become family and we have grown together in the community in which we all live and work. Everyone at Insalata's is extremely proud to be a part of this extended "village" family.

    Insalata is our neighborhood restaurant... we consider ourselves lucky to have such an extraordinary restaurant within walking distance. We've dined there since their opening, some 25 years ago... It just gets better with the years...

    We had a lovely New Year's Eve dinner. Ben was wonderful in selecting a tasty mezcal flight. The staff were so friendly and nice. We appreciated the great food and all the staff who worked on this holiday. Cheers to a miraculous year ahead!

    The dish I ordered was the grilled salmon and it was delicious! The presentation was beautiful and the veggie sauce it was in was amazing. I don't usually say food is 'amazing' but this meal was so, so good. My husband ordered fettuccine and he liked his meal, as well. I have nothing but good things to say about this restaurant and our experience there on New Year's Eve. Will definitely go back again.

    We celebrate all our special occasions at Insalata, including using the banquet room for a major birthday party, bemuses of the total experience which includes the food, wait service and atmosphere of the restaurant. It's our favorite restaurant in Marin.
