“What a wonderful experience it's our second time going to this restaurant and it does not disappoint. The food was wonderful. The service is excellent. All the staff is so friendly and accommodating. I couldn't say enough nice things about our evening. I'm so thrilled that we found this place and it will be our favorite Italian restaurant in the North Bay! If you haven't showed up there, you should give it a shot. You will not be disappointed.“

“Italian Delite Submarine Sandwiches Thank you for supporting the Lucky Run this past Sunday to benefit Novato High School's Safe & Sober Grad Night. We appreciate you! Safe and Sober Grad of Novato“

“The pizza was good — not amazing, but solid — and the ranch dressing was incredible. We popped in because The Village had a 45-minute wait and got seated right away, which was a win. Lots of TVs, so we could watch both the MLB playoffs and college football, and our server was genuinely great — friendly and helpful. That said, it definitely leans more toward an adult vibe. Even though there’s an arcade, the prices are a bit steep ($17 for a kid’s spaghetti and one meatball). And the playlist? Let’s just say it was giving “bow chicka bow wow late-night R&B” energy — not exactly the soundtrack I expected for family pizza night at 6:30 p.m on a Saturday. We’ll probably go back, but next time, maybe earlier in the day when hopefully it’s more family-friendly.“

“Lockdown YUM- Thank you! 😷😋“

“The food and wine are fantastic!“

“Wonderful food and service. Highly recommend!“

“What a great little place, and worthy of a two hour drive, and...I'll tell you why!
Jazzmo Pete and I had spent the whole day out at Bill Halsey's Hangin Balls Ranch separating the Bulls from the Cows and Heffers into their winter pastures, and we were beat, cold and wet from the coastal fog. Jazzmo, an Italian at heart says let's go into town and have a big bowl of pasta and a couple bottles of Chianti, well that was enough for me, so off we went. ...Smelling like old west cowboys I was sure we'd get kicked out of any place we went into, but Jazzmo had a quart bottle of some sort of hipster stuff that'll take the smell off a litter box! And it worked! We went to La Gastronomia di Porchetta Restaurant and had about the best Italian food in the Bay Area!
5 stars and they didn't even try! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Excellent food, drinks and service“

“Delicious food! Very unassuming, we were so happy we stopped in, food and service were top notch 🍝“

“Great Food!!! Great Service!“

“THE WINE…just order the wine and everything will be ok in the world again! Great blends from Napa Valley , as good as any expensive vineyard , the owner blends and creates them for years, STRONG WINE, UNBELIEVABLE TASTE! The food is amazing, I’m a New Yorker and loved it ! The gluten free pasta was done to perfection! Wished I lived closer…we would be there every week! The ambiance and staff were inviting , and the owner is a vibe unto himself! Our waiter was from NYC too and he gave us a sheet of poems to take with us! Overall, great experience! ✌️❤️🌈 @thehappiesthippie !“

“We had the most delicious pastas and wine! The service was fantastic as well. We highly recommend TKT for your next night out!! Even our toddler was impressed!“

“The food was absolutely amazing. We shared a house salad, a pistachio pizza, a creamy truffle white sauce pasta, and finally an awesome tiramisu. Also had a great selection of drinks and wines available and have a cork fee if you want to bring your own. It is a very popular and tightly packed place so I recommend reservations and you will be very close to others.
The only negative items we had were that we had to wait a while after our reservation time. And that the service speed is sometimes inconsistent. Table seated later and behind us, and with a different waiter, had ordered and received their drinks and appetizers before we could even order our drinks. Our waiter would disappear for a long while and had to waive down others to help us. Just bad luck of the draw for us that night. But the food is still so good that I’d go back!“

“Love take out. The best minestrone and garlic bread. Yummy. Try it.“

“Beautiful establishment with friendly service and a nice beverage selection. However, their food left me desiring more—their peaches weren’t ripe enough and very hard, and their Greek salad seemed more like an arugula/ onion salad with small amounts of tomato and cheese.“

“A great place in Petaluma, CA. Love this place. The food is great and there are always some specials in the menu. Love the wild boar gnocchi but everything is great!“

“Went ar Arrivederci at around 3 pm on Sunday. Not that busy. We got seated and got our drinks right away. We ordered Gnocchi and Risotto con brasatto. We also got a complimentary focaccia bread with garlic/herbs olive oil dipping. The Gnocchi was very creamy and has rich flavor. The Risotto was creamy and the 2 piece of beef short ribs were tender and juicy. The portion is a bit on a small side and a bit pricey ($28 each). I gave 4 star because the server was not attentive.“

“I have been going to hectors pizza for about 30 years now recipe workers everybody there are still the same will continue being my favorite pizza“

“Very comfortable, family oriented restaurant with great food and service“

“Great services, friendly“

“Stefano's is our favorite work night pizza place! Thursday us pizza night at our house, and we stop by for quick slices and salad. The food is always delicious and the staff are friendly and helpful. It's also fun to listen to Brazilian Portuguese being spoken. All I can say is "Obregado!"“

“Legendary Italian. Family Style. Enough said.“

“Great service. Great food. We will be back. Please put braised short ribs back on the menu.“

“Ralph (the owner) is an absolutely wonderful human being. We grew up on Fergene’s and it’s my first meal in California every time we’re in town to see family. Specifically the Chipotle Chicken pizza,“

“Decades in business, the New Yorker is long standing Petaluma staple with exceptional food!!!!! And Rosalia!! She serves up some seriously solid pizza, amazing pastas and homemade sauces plus very generous salads- you can't go wrong with anything you order!
While you wait for a to go meal or dine in, enjoy the eclectic decor and postcards from all of the world. Such a gem ofa locally owned old school pizza joint.
One of my favorite restaurants of all time! ☆☆☆☆☆☆
♡ a fan since 2001!“

“I love � customers service and food is always great � my favorite“

“This place was excellent! A little hole in the wall right off of the 101. Me and my husband were driving home late from SF and wanted to grab a bite to eat on the way home. This place is open until 130 in the morning, so makes a great late night option. The crust is made of sourdough and is the perfect amount of crispy and chewy. The sauce was tangy and rich and the toppings tasted fresh. Overall 10/10. The atmosphere wasn't anything to write home about but the food and the guy making the pizzas were excellent and made the hole in the wall vibe. Will go again the next time I'm driving out of the city late at night.“
