Insalata's, an upscale Mediterranean venue, is located in San Anselmo, California, about twenty minutes north of the Golden Gate Bridge. Though the name may invoke images of a Mexican salad bar, it is in fact the maiden name of Executive Chef and Owner Heidi Insalata Krahling, and was named such to honor her late father, Italo Insalata.


The 2005 Zagat Survey of San Francisco Bay Area Restaurants is out, and this is what diners have to say about Insalata's:



"Do yourself a huge favor" and come to this "San Anselmo spot" for Mediterranean meals that mix "comfort and sophistication" in a "bright interior; chef owner Heidi Krahling charms many with her "warmth and charisma", and most San Franciscans agree that it's "worth a journey and a bridge toll."
