Chef Tommy DiMella/Owner
Tommy has been cooking for over 20 years using all types of cuisines from different parts of the country. Tommy’s travels have given him a strong background and knowledge with depth of flavors and purity of ingredients that support tradition and taste. To be a good cook you need to know and experience the basics according to Tommy. Chef Tommy believes that to be a good chef you need to take those basic experiences and apply your own personal touch to them without losing their original integrity. Tommy believes that food should be composed of light clean flavors, purity of ingredients and steeped in tradition. He tries not to mask any original flavors of a product. He wants the flavors of his dishes to push and pull off of the main protein dish that he is showcasing.

Sonoma-based Basque Boulangerie Cafe is “coming soon” to the historic Danville Hotel on Hartz Ave. Find out more from Diablo Dish here. Check out the Sonoma cafe menu here and muffin and cookie menu here.
From the Basque Boulangerie Cafe website:
Basque Boulangerie Café opened on the historic square of Sonoma in 1994 with an old-world feeling of an original French bakery. It is a second generation bakery, originally started in Sonoma in 1956 as the Sonoma French Bakery in the Sebastiani Theatre building. Our founders’ family arrived in the United States from the southwest region of France, specifically the Pyrenees Mountains that separate France from Spain. They settled in the heart of the Valley of the Moon because of opportunity and since it reminded them of the villages in the Basque and Bearn regions of France that they were from. They had a family history of bakers, butchers and restauranteurs. The family learned the baking trade in their French small towns of Saint Etienne de Baigorry, and Oloron Sainte Marie and offers two generations of baking excellence. Our team of talented bakers start late at night, every night, using the old world European tradition of hand crafted baking artisanship in order to create these crusty, hand made loaves of peasant bread, inspired by our founders’ Basque ancestors. We have brought traditional stone hearth ovens to Sonoma to assure the same consistent, traditional bread with no preservatives. Our pastries, baked goods and desserts are hand crafted in small batches using European-style techniques with quality ingredients.
