Caffe Giostra - Petaluma (CA)

2 /5 Wayne Johnson: The food was good. Free parking. Inside and outside dining. Take-out food seemed popular. Service poor: After being promptly seated, we waited beyond 5 minutes before being acknowledged by our waiter (we were on the verge of walking). Service did not improve. BTW: Wouldn’t it be nice if we were checked in with shortly after the main course is served? A rarity of most restaurants in America now days. Our biggest gripe: hidden fees. Aside from being charged $50 for a glass of wine (it was corrected), we were hit with a “B.O.H” fee of 3%. No mention of additional fees mentioned on the menu and the manager states they don’t have to, because “all the restaurants are doing it.”

5 /5 Alix C.: This little hole-in-the-wall spot has been recommended to me for years. Finally went, and it lives up to the reputation! Delicious food, very friendly and speedy service, and such a lovely environment inside. Will happily eat here again!

5 /5 Agnes Reizik: Family Dinner Out To Go For me this place is all about their bread and the Bruschetta. Bolognese is yummy, too, but likely not a repeat in future.

5 /5 Mik3y Copa: I called them Saturday evening for a last minute reservation. Upon arriving, we were seated immediately. The food was outstanding! But the reason for this review is for the service. This visit was the best service weve ever had in the many years of dining out. The wait staff is top notch! This place is a gem, and well return any time were in the area.

5 /5 Chuck Dougherty: What a delight! Amazing food, impressive selection and service. Its no wonder this restaurant has been a favorite for generations. Very highly recommended!
