About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for groups
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.

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.

    A very appealing Mediterranean menu with delicious small plates and imaginative entrees. Our server was great. Our party of four could converse very comfortably at normal voice levels.

    Unfortuntely, the booth behind us had 2 people who spoke VERY LOUDLY. Then a 3rd person arrived. Sounded like a party. Thank goodness food arrived at their table and filled their mouths. Had I been solo I would have moved. I had an elderly guest who does not move that easily, so we stayed put. Food is delicious, as always!

    Our group of 8 was celebrating my Mom's 80th birthday. We had appetizers, cocktails and beer, many different main courses, dessert, coffee and tea. EVERYTHING was great, the service was prompt and super attentive! They decorated the banana cake for my Mom and lit a candle on it. The evening was perfect! It was my first time dining at this restaurant, and definitely not the last!

    Insalata’s used to be very good! Our experience today was just okay. It took a very long time to get our meal especially since the restaurant wasn’t crowded….. And, maybe we all ordered wrong, but the food was just mediocre for the price point.
