Delicious food. Great warm friendly service. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Wonderful little place. The waiters were amazing and very friendly welcome in the minute. We walked in the door. Food was extremely good. Definitely a five star review.

Food is fantastic / service is excellent. The proprietors are lovely! The ambiance is like walking into North Beach in San Francisco ...back in the day!

This is a gem and was an absolute pleasure dining there! The menu reflects the creativity in the kitchen and we had a hard time deciding what to order. The older gentleman greeted us at our table and proceeded to give us an extensive list of specials....ultimately we ordered two of the specials (Rack of Lamb and their Filet Mignon/Prawns aka the Surf and Turf). We even had their Tiramisu and an Affogato for dessert. We left knowing we just enjoyed a special evening at a wonderful restaurant!!

I'm always surprised at the lower ratings for this place. We've been eating here for years and have never been disappointed. Food is consistently very good, the service is wonderful. Tables are good sizes chairs are comfortable however you probably need reservations; place gets crowded fast

Really enjoyed dinner at this cozy gem of a restaurant. It has an old world feel despite being located in a corner of a commercial center away from downtown in North Petaluma. There is easy parking in the commercial center. It is a small and intimate restaurant with around maybe 10-12 tables (5 up front by the window and another 5 or so along the side wall across from the kitchen). I would recommend you phone in a reservation for dinner, especially for a party of more than 2 as most of the tables seated 2 and we were the only party of 4 during the time we were there. The price point is very reasonable for the quality and portion size of the food. The waiters were all very attentive, keeping our drinks full, explaining menu options and timing the food brought to the table. We made an early dinner reservation and within an hour or so the place was full on a Wednesday evening. White table cloths, attentive service, and some great specials of the day. The host, elderly gentleman (owner?) seated us and cracked some great jokes. He shared with us the many specials on the menu that evening, so many that we couldn't remember them all and the waiter had to repeat for us! Seems like they have a risotto, ravioli, and multiple fish entrees rotating daily. They also were offering rack of lamb and filet mignon that evening. Our party of 4 started with a bottle of Chianti, Diablo shrimp and bruschetta appetizers. The shrimp came with 4 large size portions in a spicy Tomatoe sauce that had just a finishing kick. Perfect size portion to share with the table along with 6 slices of bruschetta that had pesto as a base and chopped tomatoes. They also serve bread with the table - sliced baguette and focaccia pieces that come with a side of olives, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. There were a lot of intriguing entree choices and we settled on lasagna bolognese, risotto with shrimp, scallops, and asparagus, seafood pasta that came with shrimp, clams, mussels, calamari and scallops in a Tomatoe sauce and gnocchi with pesto cream sauce. All were hearty portions and excellent flavors. They offered fresh cracked pepper and grated Parmesan. For some pasta entrees they offered a choice of bolognese, marinara, Gorgonzola or pesto sauces. We packaged some of the entrees up to leave room for desserts - affogato, bread pudding, profiteroles, and vanilla gelato with strawberries. Our waiter served us a round of complimentary dessert wine with the last course!

My girlfriend and I were here for her birthday dinner on Saturday. Everything was perfect .

Quickly seated despite not having a reservation. We had to promise to be done by 6:15. Promises made. Promises kept. Cozy spot with an amazing atmosphere. Old world feel with so many daily specials. Lasagna of the daily had favors that would and should take all day to create. Definitely have reservations although the outdoor seat with heater would have been lovely if it hadn't been so windy. Will come back to try the veal piccata. Saw it served up next to my group and it looked scrumptious.

I don't eat Italian much and would never expect an amazing Italian restaurant to be located in sortve of strip mall. The ambiance was very old school Italian and the food reminded me of how good Italian food can be. The gnocchi were like soft pillows of goodness, the pollo piccata was so moist and tender with the perfect lemon sauce.
