About the DTC

Founded in 2004, locally owned and operated, Dancing Tomato Caffé is the perfect blend of good eats, community spirit, and a comfortable atmosphere. The Katz family has hand-crafted this unique restaurant, conveniently located on the corner of California Highway 20 and Walton Avenue in Yuba City, California. DTC’s menus were designed with the family in mind—“a something for every taste” approach when it comes to feeding each guest a meal they will love.

Supporting our local community is of paramount importance. Our menus include local products from the

Farm to Fork Capitol of America, right here in Northern California.

"Our food is so good it makes you happy from your head all the way down to your “To-ma-toes!”

We are Kevin and Shar Katz, and along with our amazing DTCrew, we have been serving up California Cuisine at the Dancing Tomato Caffé in Yuba City since 2004. When we opened our doors, we were just starting our family. Over our many years cooking, the kids have grown up in the biz, helping out in many ways.

You might say that great food served in a welcoming atmosphere is a family tradition. Way back in 1965, Kevin's parents opened the Italian Cottage in Chico, and the family later added Caffé Italia in Davis.

With a dream of opening a family-friendly restaurant to call our own, we began searching for the perfect location to make our dream come true, and Yuba-Sutter has been just the place to call home. Inspired one summer day by the image of tomatoes bouncing in a truck heading in from a local field, the name for the "Dancing Tomato Caffé" was born.

We are always dedicated to serving delicious dishes, dressings and sauces made in our own kitchens using the highest quality and freshest ingredients. Whenever possible, we source local produce, olive oil, rice, beans, wines, craft beers, and other specialties from this bountiful area. Each day, we carefully prepare our original recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner for your dining pleasure.

We wish for all... "Good Times for a Long Time" and we are honored to have you dine with us.

Grazie and Buon Appetito!
