Risibisi - Petaluma (CA)

5 /5 Dodie E: We have been dining here for years and consistently it is the best Italian food around! We started with cocktails and split the special salad (spinach with persimmons, hazelnuts, pomegranate and balsamic — oof!) then my date had the vongole with an abundance of clams while I had the risotto special with seared scallops (like butter), spinach and mushrooms. Each bite was perfection and so ample we took half home for another redux of the deliciousness.

5 /5 Aleida Socarras: I brought a large group here and was very nervous about how everything would go. Rico made everything perfect and everyone had a great time. The food and the room were perfect. We had a group of 20 people and every one was pleased. Thank you!

3 /5 Burstock: Fathers Day visit so not sure it excuses the issues with getting seated. We had reservations and several parties were kept waiting to be seated, for no apparent reason. Once seated, things were better although drinks were slow. The Calamari starter was good, not too greasy, but dips didnt seem to go. The bruschetta was pretty good with delicious balsamic reduction. The bread came presoaked in olive oil which was a little unusual. Filet mignon was excellent as was the pesto fettuccine. The 2 gnocchi dishes, mushroom and wild boar, were disappointing, the sauce was under seasoned, hardly any mushrooms and the wild boar tasted like beef. Service staff were friendly but hard to get hold of. Overall ok food, probably wont go back.

5 /5 Nancy Rico: What a very special lunch we had today at Risibisi! We were a party of nine and were treated so well with quick drinks .. giant seafood appetizers… fresh salads and pastas. Our guests were from France and enjoyed the slow meal. Nice work gentlemen and we will be back soon!

3 /5 Didier Rincon: The service was friendly and fast, and the place is nice and pleasant. However, the food needs more attention. I ordered a linguine for my meal, but the pasta was overcooked and broken into very small pieces, to the point that it was hard to catch it with a fork. Overall, the restaurant has potential, but the food quality could be improved.
