Giacomini’s extended family is well known for supporting environmental causes and land preservation in West Marin. “It’s a big focus of ours to support our local food shed,” says Giacomini, a prominent lawyer who is a Marin Agricultural Land Trust board member and resides in the San Geronimo Valley with his wife, Susi, and their three children. Menu partnerships include Straus Family Creamery, Star Route Farms, Equator Coffees, Tomales Bay Pastures, Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co., Stemple Creek Ranch, Brickmaiden Breads and the Agricultural Institute of Marin farmers markets. He points out that the most notable difference is the menu that more fully embraces nearby growers, ranchers, dairies and fishermen, and supports the family’s commitment to the agricultural community where he was raised. ![]() “The whole vibe is the same and much of the staff remains, although we changed the music to Spotify playlists and put in a computer system for ordering,” Giacomini says. ![]() But for West Marin resident Andrew Giacomini and his family who purchased Two Birds Café in San Geronimo from its founder and owner Tony Miceli earlier this year, preserving the restaurant’s classic and beloved elements was paramount.Īfter a brief transition period, Giaco’s Valley Roadhouse is now open and the Giacominis are continuing Miceli’s legacy by offering locals and travelers on West Marin’s rural gateway a country breakfast and lunch experience while introducing a few new modifications, including dinner on weekends.
