Highlights
The zinfandel grape, first planted in California in the late 1800s by Italian immigrants, are the genetic equivalent to the primativo grape in Puglia, Italy. Primativo wines are deeply colored, and intensely flavored, with a high alcohol content. It's California cousins, Zinfandels, are some of California's finest, most interesting and most widely planted wines.
It is in the spirit and proud tradition of Zinfandel wine producers that we named our restaurant Zinfandel California Cuisine. We're a fairly small and cozy cafe-style restaurant which is open six days a week for lunch and dinner. And we have a full bar as well as a nice variety of wines.
We offer a generous selection of freshly prepared menu items, including: soups and salads, wood-fired pizzas and calzones, sandwiches, burgers, fish, chicken, meats, pastas and desserts.
We invite you to visit our establishment which is conveniently located in Gold River. Weather permitting you may dine on the patio, and we can handle small, private parties. To-go orders are welcome. Reservations on Friday and Saturday nights are advised.
Zinfandel California Cuisine is rated 4.4 out of 5 by 436.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Steve A from Food was delicious and they remembered us from a couple months ago. Wine offerings great, and love the Chicken Spinach Roll entree and Green Field Salad with roasted almonds / bleu cheese!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Maria F from We felt extremely rushed by the waiter which was weird because it wasn’t busy at all. He was also bartending so that might have been why, but it’s still not an excuse. The food was horrible.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Kerstin D from The food was OK, but the server made a really big deal about us using the certificate and it was a real turn off. There are lots of other places to eat, and we won't be back.
