Volpi's Ristorante & Bar

This has to be the worst Italian experience I have had. Previous ratings are inaccurate or they were having an extremely bad night. I wouldn’t waste my good money going back!

We ordered family style and had 5 different dishes; 3 pastas, salmon and a chicken Marsala. Every single dish was delicious and even the toddlers loved the food.

The food was fantastic. The service was amazing. The atmosphere is kind of small town, old style Italian restaurant. So for me I liked it. Not a fufu place. I plan on going back next time I'm in the area.

Parking: There's parking just one half block down the street at a parking garage for free.

Hopping family-friendly Italian restaurant. Basic good quality eats. Super friendly staff. Solid, not exciting. Loved that there was a vegan pasta option—tasty and good quantity of veg. I also ordered a side of veggies.

Vegetarian options: Vegan pasta option plus a couple veg options—better than most Italian restaurants these days!

Parking: We found a spot right at the corner. Always helps to come early.

One of the few restaurants that still has veal on the menu and their veal marsala was excellent!

Kid-friendliness: They have a kid menu

I recently visited Volpi’s Ristorante and ordered their famous house pasta, to which I added chicken. The flavor was delightful and the portion size was really generous, providing great value. What truly sets this place apart is its charming and historical atmosphere; it’s evident they’ve done a fantastic job in preserving the spirit of their beginnings since 1925. It’s not just a meal, it’s an experience steeped in history.

A big disappointment from previous experiences. There were 4 of us. Two meals weren’t even hot. One was overcooked and another was burned and had been reheated.

Volpi's | Ristorante & Bar offers a delightful culinary experience, combining exquisite Italian flavors with a warm and inviting ambiance, making it a standout destination for a memorable dining experience.

Amazing! I always forget how good this place is. Volpi's is a true piece of Petaluma History, it may no longer be a speak-easy but still server up some fantastic meals. I still miss the deli, but holiday nights are the best here.
