Calistoga Thai Kitchen

A long, narrow trattoria with the open kitchen right up front, so kids can watch the cooks while the homemade pasta is on its way.

A tasting room with a kids' corner in the same space, where children paint, play and build within sight of the bar.

Calistoga's old-fashioned diner since forever: pancakes and waffles for kids, huevos rancheros for the grown-ups, and a side of town lore.

Calistoga's newest Italian: fresh pasta made daily, pizza, and house meatballs that suit kid palates.

A coffee shop with a toy box for the kids.

Free to enter, with a downloadable scavenger hunt for kids and pull-out risers so smaller kids can see the exhibits.
