Has a business dinner here last night, client picked it, I’d never been. From the appetizers to the wine selection to the service! Wish I had taken more pictures but was too busy enjoying everything. I was having a hard time choosing between Carbonara and the Chicken Parm special so the server swapped out my side for the Chicken Parm with Carbonara! Was delicious but the server wanting me to have the best experience possible really impressed me!
Risibisi is a famous restaurant in Downtown Petaluma. The food is delicious, and the service is excellent. The dining room is very romantic and comfortable. The street parking is a little more challenging, especially on the weekends. I recommend making dinner reservations, or you might not have a table. I hope you’ll enjoy your meal in Risibisi as I do.Parking: Street parking is a little hard to get on the weekendsWheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is wheelchair friendly

Service was slow but it was a busy evening with only two servers so that is understandable. The food was extremely overpriced for what you get. The $17 beet salad is a joke. It’s literally 2 bites.

I think the dish I ordered (pork tagliatelle) was just the wrong dish for me. Everything was well cooked, we got a bunch of appetizers and they were all delicious, especially the meatballs.The filet looked delicious, but I didn't taste it.
Parking is bad here really busy area..not a big restaurant food was not bad..was tasty somewhat..had prime rib..with potatoes and creamed or sauteed spinach .. could had use more seasoning or flavor on all 3 items..or a sauce for the steak..was cooked tender..furst time there..was not alot of see tions..salad was bland..was ok..just would not go back..because of hassle of parking food was ok..for what it was ..

First time visiting and we really liked the food, warm intimate settings and staff. It was a test for a larger event and we were satisfied Risibisi met the criteria.
I would caution Black and Brown folks against visiting this establishment. My family had a disappointing experience there on December 31, 2023, during our New Year’s dinner. Although the service was good throughout the meal, things took a turn for the worse when we were finishing up and preparing to leave. A man with a beard, who may have been the manager, approached our table and spoke to us in a condescending and racist manner about tipping. When we declined to tip, he asked us to leave the restaurant. We felt disrespected and unwelcome, and we would not recommend this place to others especially non-White folks.

My partner and I ate here on our anniversary in February 2023, and we came back today (December 31) for a new year's dinner. The service was great. However, towards the end, when we had finished eating our food and were about to leave, one of the guys with a beard (possibly the manager) came by our table. In a very condescending and racist manner, he berated us about tipping (which we confirmed was not mandatory), and when we declined tipping, he kicked us out of the restaurant.I'm definitely never coming back here and would not recommend any other person of color to visit.

Overpriced, mediocre food. Excellent service, beautiful atmosphere. Frequented by loud jerks who think it's a bar.

It's not easy to find a place that will satisfy 5 different appetites and leave everyone full and happy but Risibisi did it. The setting was lovely, the food was great, the pistachio brulee was a welcome surprise, but the 4 stars is due to the sound level and how difficult it was to hear each other across the table. It really limited conversation.
This Italian restaurant was a great place. Either Marco sold it , or no one cares anymore. No bread at the table like before. No parmesan for my pasta even though I asked for it. Low quantity food with a high price! This was my favorite place it was authentic. Now it's just an olive garden such a shame.
