Art's is one of our favorite places to eat! The food is always delicious, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is great. Every time my family comes to visit from out of town, they always ask to go back to Art's for dinner. Lately, I've been obsessed with their Chipotle Lobster Linguini special, it's so good! We've also tried several appetizers, pizzas, pastas, and drinks over the years, and honestly, everything has been consistently great. The prices are reasonable too, especially for the quality of the food. It's definitely a popular spot, and after eating here so many times, I completely understand why. We always leave happy and already looking forward to our next visit. read more

Family came to eat here. We had shared a pizza, lasagna and a ravioli. We did not even eat half of each entree. The Vibe was off in the place also. Service was just ok. We got the feeling as if we were intruding on something. read more

We've loved going to Arts Place since they opened!! The food is always delicious and everything is always so consistent!! We try to go eat there or get takeout every couple of Months. Last weekend my dad went and got us takeout and it was amazing as usual. Their half and half pasta (marinara and pesto) is the best in town and always has been! Every year we'd go to the fair, that's what we would get. Such a bummer they aren't at the fair anymore. The whole family got the spaghetti half and half and garlic bread. And my dad got the tortellini with peas and prosciutto. Everything was so amazing as usual!! We've also gotten their pasta trays for a party a few years ago. We got big trays of penne pasta with 3 different sauces, salad and garlic bread to feed 50 people. the process was easy and their prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. This place is such a hidden gem and we always love coming back!!! read more

We got a lasagna which wasn't pictured and it was sooo good. Heads up, it's definitely very rich and flavorful. The wedge salad was exactly what we wanted and their garlic bread was perfect! Always a bit loud in there, which wasn't an issue. Definitely a family friendly spot with great service. read more

Art's Place - New American Near Me - Rohnert Park, California

We decided on an early dinner, and decided the reviews were worth trying out. Not sure how the pizza is, but the 'Italian' entrees were less than desirable. Carly, our excellent server, was prompt, friendly and as knowledgeable as she could be for a new employee to the establishment. My guess? Art probably established an excellent real Italian restaurant with authentic recipes and hopefully homemade pasta. He has since passed away, and I am sorry to say, whatever authenticity went with him. The vibe is a bar pizza joint, and I hope they serve a good pizza pie. The linguine and clams (I asked if it was a garlic sauce) was loaded with clams. That is where the dish ended. It had linguine noodles and a sauce made up of clam juice butter and lemon. I could not taste garlic, so she brought some raw garlic to toss in. The lasagna tasted like canned meat sauce poured over a bland dish of pasta. The chicken noodle soup had tasty chicken, but the overload of oregano was too much, we couldn't eat it and were not offered to have it removed from the bill. The Caesar salad was mayo heavy, could taste lemon and had sliced Parmesan on top. Tiramisu was not umptious either. For the cost of the meal, I will pass. We will try a pizza in the future, hopefully it is their saving grace. Oh, they should learn how to make pasta as well, instead of buying boxed pre made. read more

Lettuce in the caesar was wilted and slimy. Pasta was okay... service was also okay... This place has gone downhill the past few years.

I just wanted to leave an updated review since my last review was from 3 years ago. We ordered takeout from Art's tonight because it's not always easy to take the whole family out for a sit down dinner. But today Art's was doing a "Dine & Donate" for my daughter's elementary school so we had to make it happen somehow! My wife went to pick up the food and said the people who worked there were great and they were happy to help our school! I had to order the spaghetti and meatballs as my last review reminded me how good it was. We also got the lasagna with pesto sauce. Truth be told, it was a lot of pesto, but it was damn good pesto. My daughter scarfed down their cheese pizza and our cousin had their California Chicken Sandwich which she loved. I can't say anything for the ambiance since we did takeout. I do really appreciate this local, Italian joint and I hope people come and support them! read more

I was pleasantly surprised at the experience we had tonight here. I needed a place that would work for my grandkids & me. The kids menu sold me (and them). Dishes were $8 and the portions quite substantial. I had the minestrone soup (quite good) with a great salad. The photo depicts their green salad but it had salami on it and I'm a vegetarian. I was able to switch it out to a Caesar Salad that was yummy. Just needed more garlic, but the lettuce was very fresh. I had a side of garlic bread that was decent. As it was happy hour, I was able to enjoy a draft Stella for $5! Very pleasant service. read more

Can't say enough about this place - first visit and felt very welcomed immediately upon entering, even though it was a very busy Saturday night with a bit of a wait. The parking is a breeze since it's a stand alone building in a big lot with other large stores. Lucked out with grabbing two seats at the bar just as folks were leaving, and sidled on up! The bartender was very attentive, had a great sense of timing for when to fire the food, and kept an eagle eye on our drinks for refills/refreshes. Prosecco ($10), draft Lagunitas IPA ($7) & a delicious Baldacci Cab ($16) worth every penny. The vibe is casual and cozy, and very family friendly. The portions are VERY generous! We split the spinach salad ($7.50) - everything was well balanced and the candied pecans were perfect! Next had the pesto pizza bites ($11) which was a lot of food. More like an actual pizza and super delicious. Entrees were beef ravioli with meat sauce ($21), and build your own pasta ($19) with 3 meatballs (+$7), creamy marinara, and fettuccini. We walked out with ample leftovers which will serve for another meal. Prices were worth the generosity, and the staff were great. Huge kudos to the whole team and can't wait to go back! read more

I have never had a bad meal at Arts Place. The thing I miss most is Art himself. He always had a smile and a good word . The staff has carried on his legacy of good food and inviting atmosphere , so I'd say it's a winner. read more

What a treat... We were staying in Rohnert Park and I asked asked our front desk manager if he knew a place where I could get some wings and possibly a small (personal) pizza. Immediately, he told us to go to Art's Place just a two minute drive from the hotel. Easy in to the parking lot and there are plenty of spaces for the cars. We made our way into the restaurant and after a very cordial 'smile ands hello,' we were seated. It was a little later than we normally eat so we were not looking to go to large. Share a couple of wings and a small cheese pizza. They have quite the extensive menu here and I could see that everyone was enjoying many of their "signature" dishes. The menu also gives you a good history of Arts. I explained to our lovely waitress exactly how we like our wings and they came to the table as ordered. Extra crispy with extra sauce on the side. They were crisp, tasty and a good pick. Pizza was also delicious. Cheesy, saucy and not to much crust. Over all a good pick and and I know that we'll be back on future visits. I am still trying to figure out how anyone could rate this shop a one or two star. Do the foodie world a favor and do not write a review if you're not in a good mood or the world doesn't swing your way...all the time. KUDOs to the team at Art's Place. read more

Art's Place - Pesto bites, garlic fries, regular fries, buffalo wings - New American Near Me - Rohnert Park, California

This is a local's place. It was a rainy night and the place was packed. The bar was open though, so I was able to get seated immediately. I ordered the ribeye, which comes with garlic mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, and garlic bread. Also, I ordered a house salad, which is basically an antipasto salad), so more than a regular salad. The steak was a bit gristle-y, though well seasoned. The mashed potatoes were good, very smooth. The vegetables were overcooked and mushy, though. It's known as a pasta and pizza place. I saw a gluten-free option. Might try that next time. read more

Good food, big big portions and very tasty. Friendly staff and the place is not too noisy

Finally tried this place after so many years. I thought it was good! I didn't realize this was owned by the same family that had the pasta place at the Sonoma County Fair for decades. The best thing about my meal was the fries. Good and crispy, seasoned, really yummy and to-die-for with ranch dressing for dipping. I think it would have liked the sandwich better if it came with grilled bell pepper and was served on a softer bun. It was a little "bready" for my taste. But still very good. My friend had a side spinach salad that looked very good, very fresh. She really liked her minestrone soup. It was thick like stew and looked delicious. Is it the finest Italian food in town? No. But it also doesn't cost a fortune. The bill for the two of us was only $30. I would definitely go back and give the pizza or some of the other menu items a try. read more

We love Art's place. We were raised on Sonoma County Fairgrounds pasta King. We also love His brother Angelo's place by in Carneros in Sonoma. These are local Sonoma County historical figures and the food is so, so, so good. We go to Art's place in Rohnert Park whenever we have a chance and I take his Caesar salad dressing home with me and I have yummy salads for a week. This man Art & Angelo are Sonoma County LegendsI'm so happy they continued legacy at arts place read more

Our food was great!! It always is. Actually are was good also. But the lady up front was a toad. Nothing nice say about her. She ask if we would like a high top table we declined she said you wait will be 15 min then. So we are talking for a out ten minutes and she asks us again if we would like a high top table . We say no she says your wait will be 30 minutes. We like you just told us 15 so know it's twenty minutes we have to wait? She said no 30. Basically we waited twenty five because we agreed to sit out side. Then she takes her sweet time and when we get out there she says oh it will be awhile before your server gets out here. Bottom line she ruined the whole experience and we will not be going back for very long time if at all. read more

I have eaten at this establishment several times since this last review and am.happy to say they have upgraded the "take out container" situation. The food here is consistently good, service is amazing and ambiance is cozy and feels friendly. This is my go to for birthdays, bad days and and other celebration days. The Cheese Tortellini with Prosciutto and Peas is my FAV! Other favorites include the Ceasar Salad with Grilled Salmon added and the Chicken Marsala. Thank you for keeping good food alive in Wine Country! read more

Back to celebrate Theodore's 6th birthday. Started with the Calamari which was deliciously lightly battered and perfectly crisped. Had to order the 12oz Prime Rib again which was equally as yummy. We also ordered the Chicken Marsala with veggies and subbed out mashed potatoes for Penne pasta. We dined outside and our server was super attentive. Everything was great again. read more

"Family place" is a key word in many of these reviews. I think that means large quantity, average quality. Service was great! Wine was average. Lasagna was large and average. Fried zucchini was large and 10% zucchini, 90% fried. comfortable place. Lots of families. read more

Food&service are top notch. Ambiance warm & friendly regardless of number of customers. Always feels comfortable to be there

The food was excellent. Very good portions. The atmosphere was very nice. Service was excellent. Will be going back again.

Had dinner here for the 1st time. I ordered the linguine with clams. I actually was not a fan of the dish. It was quite runny, but they were generous with the clams. My daughter ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, and I liked it a lot. The fried zucchini was okay. It was a tiny bit burnt, enough to taste the burnt flavor. The spinach salad was delicious. My boyfriend ordered it and he enjoyed it very much. Our server was hospitable and friendly. She forgot the glass of wine I ordered to go with dinner. I didn't bother to ask since the food already came. It's a very lively place. It was a full house and we only waited about 15 minutes to be seated without a reservation. read more

Amazing food I had the Caesar salad and the shrimp scampi both was so good I definitely will be back to explore more of the menu and Great service read more

The wood fire pizza tastes like it was baked in your oven at home. The lasagna with meatsauce tasted like salt. Not much going on, just salty and layers of pasta. Everything just tasted salty and no flavor. The panini sandwich wasnt good either. Raviolos were not cooked all the way so it was chewy. Sorry but it is a 1 star. read more

Food was meh. Salmon undercooked and raw in parts, brownie for dessert was not good. But the service was awful. Wrong drinks, wrong soup, one meal brought way later than others, forgotten items. Won't be back. Do yourself a favor and pick up one of their lasagnas at the farm and leave this alone. read more

First I thought it was a bar.My husband and I have been here several times. Even after Art passed. Haven't had a bad meal there. The service is great! There is a lot of T.V.'s with different sports on (which isn't my cup of tea ) but the guys like it. The booths are comfortable and they have a beer and wine area. read more
