Brunch at Baldovino’s Wine Bar & Kitchen, Mt. Shasta, CA

We had an excellent Sunday brunch at Baldovino’s Wine Bar & Kitchen, and it was exactly the kind of relaxed, elevated meal you hope for. The restaurant has a stylish, cozy vibe—dark walls with beautiful local artwork. The Sunday brunch menu is thoughtfully curated with a nice mix of savory and sweet options, all sounding fresh and seasonal.
We started with a bottle of Campo dei Sassi Prosecco (extra dry, Treviso) and with pomegranate and orange juice mimosas. The Prosecco was crisp, bubbly, and perfect for brunch—light enough to pair with everything without being too sweet.
For the main event, I went for the daily special: Crab Cake Benedict. It was outstanding. Two perfectly poached eggs sat atop a crispy crab cake and thick cut sourdough covered in a rich, glossy hollandaise sauce with capers. The herb-roasted potatoes on the side were golden and perfectly seasoned—crispy on the outside, fluffy inside. The dish was beautifully plated with microgreens and herbs, and it tasted every bit as good as it looked.
My husband ordered the Cubano (also a special), which came as a pressed, golden-toasted sandwich loaded with ham, melted cheese, and a perfectly lightly fried egg on excellent local sourdough-style bread. It was served with more of those fantastic herb potatoes and looked incredibly satisfying—crispy, gooey, and classic with a brunch twist.
Portions were generous, the service felt attentive and warm, and everything came out hot and fresh. The menu also had tempting options like Tomato Basil Mozzarella Scramble, Chive Biscuit & Sausage Gravy, Avocado Toast, Croque Monsieur, and sweets like French Toast and Dutch Baby—plenty to choose from for future visits.
Overall, Baldovino’s delivers a high-quality, flavorful brunch in a charming setting. The food is creative without being fussy, the drinks hit the spot, and the whole experience feels special yet comfortable. Highly recommend if you’re in Mt. Shasta—perfect for a leisurely Sunday brunch meal with a glass (or bottle) of something bubbly. We’ll definitely be back!

Wow, what a beautiful spot. We came here on a whim, we live in SF but come to shasta every so often on trips and this place hands down is a gem. If this spot was in San Francisco, I would frequent it as often as possible.
Wonderful service, incredible food. The filet mignon was possibly the nicest filet I’ve ever eaten…and I eat it on a weekly basis in any restaurant I visit. Temperature was completely perfect, it didnt even require a steak knife it was the tender, the potato dauphinose was the perfect compliment to the steak.
My partner had the Rabbit ragú, the meat was very tender, pasta was fresh and delicious. We also shared a appetiser of the truffle fries, 10/0.

The atmosphere is great, it’s not loud, it’s just right.
Our server was amazing, she recommended the rabbit ragú and we’re so glad she did. She was super efficient and so friendly.

The wine was also gorgeous, I cannot find one single fault with any of it. I’m so glad we visited, this restaurant alone is enough of a reason to come back to beautiful shasta again.
