Sunday is the Mill Valley Wine & Gourmet Food Festival (link above). We're
thinking about going. Recommedations for restaurants and/or places to
stay? Tony

I have no recommendations.

Recently our party ate at Piazza D'Angelo. Not bad, but only fair.

Online reviewers said the place was extremeley noisy and they were
right. My spaghetti bottarga seemed underflavored somehow; a
seafood soup seemed random; a couple salads were very good. There is
a rose' Nero D'Avola on the wine list that was excellent, but
I failed to make a note of whose it was.

I will try one of the other two Italian restaurants in downtown
Mill Valley before I go back to D'Angelo.

For Italian food try Frantoio. It was good, but not fantastic. It's
been several years since I've eaten there. Though if I had plans to
hang out in Mill Valley for awhile I eat there again. The olive oil
is, indeed, pretty good.

Never mind. Norma just remembered we're already booked for
Sunday afternoon. If anyone goes to the Mill Valley event,
please report back. Thanks. - Tony

there is Frantoio http://www.frantoio.com/menus . I don't have a high
regard for El Paseo, but I haven't been back there since I discovered
Frantoio and it changed hands in 2010 - so I might like it better now.

Note, they're in the totally opposite side of Mill Valley -- not
walking distance from the festival.

Isn't the whole point of going to a Wine & Gourmet Food Festival to eat
tons of yummy festival food?

El Paseo is now owned by Sammy Hagar and Tyler Florence. I've been both I
few times and my reactions range
from disappointed to pleasantly surprised.
