LOro Di Napoli - Petaluma (CA)

5 /5 Natalie Benassini Breall: Wow! This place is AUTHENTIC ! I am lucky enough to have an uncle with a restaurant in Italy , and every bite here, from the pizza (proper thin crust ) to the bolognese pasta to the lemon tart made me feel like I was in the family room at my uncles restaurant! So dangerous- and according to the owner, who stopped by to check in on us- menu changes all the time, I told my husband we have to come often so I dont miss any of the seasonal specials! Thank you for opening here in Petaluma! This is worth the trip even if youre from out of town!

5 /5 Connor Tooman: Hands down, the best authentic Italian pizza I have found in the United States. Pistachio pizza was perfection. Every other dish was fantastic as well, as well as the service and atmosphere. The pizza stands out.

5 /5 Leslie Mejia: I came here for the first time to celebrate Mother’s Day and had a great experience. The food and wine were delicious, but the real showstopper was the pistachio cake — absolutely amazing, I can’t recommend it enough. Even though it was a busy day, the service was still great. The ambiance was lovely, and the decor is beautiful and thoughtfully done. I’ll definitely be back!

4 /5 Blake Schmidt: We were excited to try LOro Di Napoli, and everything was really good. I feel like I should begin with the atmosphere, which is decorated very nicely and has a great energy, but the acoustics are terrible. The tables are really close together and you have to raise your voice to be heard, so you cant help but hear your neighbors conversations. Our waiter apparently had trouble hearing us as well, because we received a different entree than we ordered, but to their credit, they quickly remedied it with the correct dish. All that is to say if youre looking for a place to talk privately with your partner, this might not be the place. However, if you enjoy talking with other tables, this is definitely the place! We were delighted to see a Hugo spritz on the menu, but we were disappointed when it arrived without fresh mint. We immediately questioned if it was in fact a Hugo, and he told us they were out of fresh mint. A few minutes later someone seated at the bar received a Hugo with fresh mint! Our waiter might have noticed that we noticed the sudden appearance of mint and he let us know they now had fresh mint! I guess they could get supply deliveries on a Saturday evening, but the entire exchange just seemed off. And thats the end of what I consider my nitpicking, so on to the food. I had seen an earlier menu and was looking forward to trying the montanare, but theyve since been removed from the menu. Our waiter seemed disappointed theyd been removed too! So we asked for his recommendations and pretty much went with them. We really enjoyed the balsamic vinegar butter served with the bread and I cant wait to have it again. The arancini were really good and packed with flavor. Our entrees (branzino and fusilli) and desserts (tiramisu and torte della nonna) were also really good. The balsamic vinegar butter was the thing we were still talking about as we left. I look forward to returning and giving the pizzas a go.

5 /5 Unspun Rides: Very nice dinner and nice surroundings to enjoy for the evening. First visit and service was very good. Attentive and cleared everything very quickly. Manager came by later and asked how everything was. Food was authentic Italy. Started with bruschetta :). We then had the Diavola pizza which was superb from crust to cheese and toppings. We also had Carne alla Pizzaiola which was an enjoyable steak. Finished off with Tiramisu! Cute serving piece and delicious. Definitely recommend this restaurant and feel like it was good value for the money. Locals probably love coming to this restaurant. Enjoy!
