We were so incredibly blown away by the food and the staff! The drinks were so tasty and creative, and each plate was seasoned so well. We had never been here before, so we were shocked at how small the seating area is. But surprisingly, they move quickly! They even started us with drinks and appetizers on the front patio. Darion was an amazing server! He was so helpful and hilarious, and wonderfully kind and patient. We will absolutely be back to try more items on the menu.

My fiancé & I went to Cafe' Citti last night after both having a long day with the intent to pick up some food to-go & enjoy our dinner at home. As we began to order Linda "suggested" we consider enjoying our meal in their outdoor patio. We reluctantly agreed to politely take a quick look only to find their "Hidden Gem" which offered us a place to enjoy their food on site. Imagine our surprise when we discovered an enclosed, heated & elegantly draped intimate outdoor-seating area above Santa Rosa Creek, a beautiful mural painted on the exterior wall of an Italian farmhouse, soft music playing and the sound of rainfall capping our dining experience. We shared their must have one-of-a-kind Caesar Salad, the restaurant's signature homemade Ravioli alla Citti & finally their Gnocchi w/ Bolognese. We then capped off our evening by enjoying a Chocolate Mousse & an Affogato. The food was amazing, the service impeccable (thank you Darien!) & the intimate outdoor-seating area is definitely a "must try"! Oh yeah, we also took home a "Ball of Mozzarella" to enjoy before dinner tonight! Grazie per l'ottimo pasto e la bellissima serata, davvero molto buono!

Tiny dining area you will need to make a reservation if you wish to dine there.
Wonderful Italian takeout only, food has reminded great, so sad they gave up their former checkered tablecloth location, but good for the Citti fam, they seem to be thriving.Parking: Good for pickup, not a sitdown restaurant

The CUTEST little Italian restaurant you’ll ever see.The setting was perfect for a date - an intimate setting, with patio heaters and soft Italian music in the background, pretty lights, candles and flowers on the tables, the works.Our server, Darian, was such a wonderful man with an upbeat and cheerful personality, who recommended us wonderful dishes - a mushroom pizza and a pomodoro sauce pasta, both of which were outstanding!I am waiting for my crème brûlée as I write this review, that should tell you how lovely it is.PS - another huge shoutout to our server, Darian. He had such an amazing energy :)Vegetarian options: They had a wide array of vegetarian options (my spouse and I are both vegetarians).

The staff ver very nice and the food was good if not a bit overpriced. Appreciate having the well behaved pup on the patio since we are getting to know one another.
My wife had the lasagne, and loved it, I had the garlicky ceasar & 1/2 roast chicken. Good old fashion Ceasar salad including the anchovy fillet laid across the top, loved it, chicken was good, moist, and delicious. Looks like most of thieir business is take out, just a few tables in the back on a covered porch, which is well heated and comfortable on a cold rainy night. We will be back for more.

As tourists, we would stop at the Kenwood restaurant for lunch, on our way from Santa Rosa airport to our hotel, after wine tasting, or just to get biscotti. The food was always delicious, the crooked floor was charming, and staff so friendly. We were so sad to see it close, especially since we were moving nearby in Santa Rosa. The floors in the new location aren't crooked, and Linda is as friendly as ever wearing many hats with less staff. The food is still as delicious. The gnocchi and polenta dishes were so generous we took some of each home, with a biscotti to go. The patio in the back is cozy, and has heaters if you need them. With the charming mural of the Tuscan landscape and Andrea Bocelli playing through the speakers, close your eyes , breathe in the aromas on your plate, and you could be in an Italian trattoria.
