New world West Sonoma County takes on old world Neapolitan at Sebastopol’s Vignette Pizzeria

photo-41

Toting an impressive tenure at Thomas Keller Restaurant Group and Farmshop Marin, chef-owner Mark Hopper’s first solo act, Vignette Pizzeria is ideally located at The Barlow, Sebastopol’s artisanal marketplace, emphasizing local food, art and wine. “Vignette” refers to a moment in time, allowing focus on one object – in this case, traditional Neapolitan pizza with an innovative twist.

The simple wine list features Italian-inspired, boutique wines highlighting Chef Hopper’s roots: California, New York, and Italy. Craft artisan beer offerings are in tune with this bi-coastal-country theme.

For a sweet ending, try Pizzelle Cannoli, Mama Hopper’s not-to-be missed symphony of ricotta cheese and candied fruits, dusted with chocolate. Uniquely local deliciousness.
