“ Accordion!! Hazelnut donuts! Pepsi products! Mulled wine! Attentive staff. And it turns out they are closing!! That's so sad! ”
“ Dined here a few times for various birthdays in my family and they never disappoint. On our most recent visit we opted for several large plates to share family style. The standout for me was the schnitzel with the cheese, prosciutto and risotto. The rest of the family really enjoyed the pretzel appetizer and pork knuckle plate. Love that they blend German and Italian food for a huge and diverse menu sure to please everyone! ”
“ So yummy! I got the chicken schnitzel and we also got a giant pretzel. It's so fun and casual. Good beer. Good times. Everyone is so polite and friendly. Their catering also looks really reasonable. We ended up going a different way but they were very responsive and helpful. ”
“ Excellent gluten-free Margherita pizza! Thin, salty, delicious. Very satisfying. We both loved it. And the Greenest Chopped salad was also really good. We shared both in the beer garden patio (a charming setting). Definitely want to return with a group! Service was friendly and relaxed in a good way. ”
“ The food was excellent The service was excellent too Good free Wi-Fi Good place to chill for lunch, no pressure to leave Excited to come back for dinner to try their Schnitzel. This is the only German hofbrauhaus atmosphere I've found in Santa Rosa. ”
“ We made a reservation for the Thanksgiving buffet (2023). The restaurant was not crowded and the food was fresh and replenished often. We had a bottle of sauv blanc to accompany our holiday meal. The proteins included beef, turkey, and pork. The sides table offered salad, corn and sausage stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, roasted cauliflower, roasted brussels, and red cabbage; everything was delicious! The dessert table presented two sweet treats: pumpkin berliners and apple strudel. ”
“ Greenest chopped salad topped with lemon herbed chicken is my favorite dish here. Their cesar salad is one of my favorites. Their pretzel with dipping cheese and mustard is so good. Oh I came here for my birthday and they treated us to prosecco, so fun! Highly recommend their Sunday brunch! They're chicken and waffle Benedict is out of this world, and it's a huge portion, you really can enjoy it for breakfast and lunch! ”
“ If I could give Franchettis 10 stars, I would! Came by for some brunch, their menu is large there's a little bit of something for everyone! They offer traditional German food as well as German food with a twist! Starting with their cocktails, my Paloma was quite tasty not too sweet though I wish the rim would have been salted as opposed to sugared aside from that, it was like biting into a delicious grapefruit. I ordered the chicken schnitzel & it was absolutely delicious! I definitely recommend! Our server was so sweet & came by to check on us regularly, our food & drinks were prepared rather quickly despite how busy they were. The restaurant has a shaded outdoor seating area as well as plenty of indoor space they offer a variety of board games to play which gives it a fun vibe! I will definitely be returning to this place ”
