COCKTAILS & DINING
Locally owned favorites:
Porterville - Visit the original site of the founding of our city in the 1860's by Royal Porter Putnam! "Where OLD west meets NEW California cuisine" This location is equally appropriate for date night, group celebrations or a casual evening out with friends. Ingredients are locally sourced, including my families favorite - Harris Ranch beef and California coastal wines, which all pair nicely with The Palace's occasional live music!

Our family favorites include (practically the entire menu LoL) :
My go to is, stuffed chicken breast.
My daughter (even as a child) loves the linguine w/clams and my son has always been sold on the calzone.
You won’t be disappointed with raviolis, chicken al forno, spaghetti & meatballs or Rosa’s pizza either. Oh yeah, and the garlic cheese bread is to-die-for!

On a personal note: My husband and I spent our honeymoon on Maui and enjoyed a delicious seafood pizza on the island. When we came home, we went to dinner at Don Vino’s and made a special request to the chef to recreate the Maui masterpiece - and he DID! Not only that, the very next time we dined at Don Vino’s “our pizza” was on the menu! If you like seafood - and pizza - you will love it!
Please note: it has been 20 years since our wedding day, so if you happen to go to Don Vino’s please let us know if our seafood pizza is still being served!
