Here's our personal and subjective list of the restaurants with the best views in Sausalito, followed by a complete listing of all View Restaurants. In this Top Ten we're disregarding the quality of the cuisine, and only rating the view from their typical tables.

Il Piccolo Cafe (Italian, Bay Views)
Scoma's Sausalito (Seafood, Bay Views)

Partial Bay Views
Most of these restaurants have some tables with great views, but their orientation means we can't classify the whole place in the same category with Full Bay Views. Maybe it's that they have only a few view tables, maybe they're across the street from the water. The best tables here, however, are often as good as the ones at the restaurants in the top section.
Angelino (Italian, Some Bay Views)
Bridgeway Cafe (Breakfast & Lunch) -- Sidewalk seating across the street from the Bay
Giovanni's Pizza (Pizza) -- Sidewalk seating across the street from the Bay
Murray Circle and Farley Bar (American, Some Bay Views)
Sausalito Bakery and Cafe (Breakfast & Lunch) -- Sidewalk seating across the street from the Bay
Venice Gourmet Deli (Deli) -- Sidewalk seating across the street from the Bay
Harbor Views
We have friends who think that these are the best views in Sausalito. These places all are adjacent to harbors where sailboats and yachts are moored, so you see the boats in the foreground and the Bay in the background. "Where would you sail in THAT one?"
Bar Bocce (Italian, Casual, Harbor Views)
Fish (Seafood, Casual, Harbor Views)
Harbor View Grill (American, Harbor Views)
Le Garage (French, Casual, Harbor Views)
Paradise Bay / Salito's (Seafood, Bay Views)
Wellington's Wine Bar (Wine Bar, Salads, Panini)
Cool Street Scene Views
Many places in Sausalito have sidealk seating, but these three do the best job of reproducing the experience of being at a sidewalk cafe in Europe.
Poggio Trattoria (Italian)
Taste of Rome (Italian, Music, Free Wi-fi)
