We had their mushroom pizza which was quite good, I would order it again in a heartbeat. I also had their spicy margarita, which was tasty, and just the right amount of spice. Service was friendly and unrushed, which I appreciate, even though we were there at the tail end of dinner service. Nice spot, good for a casual dinner, yet nice enough for a date spot. Wasn't difficult to find parking nearby. Would return and recommend.

La Dolce Vita Wine Bar has been one of our go-to spots for years, and it never disappoints…read more We've been here for everything--date nights, birthday celebrations, pre-movie drinks, post-movie wind-downs--and it somehow fits every occasion perfectly. It's one of those rare places that always feels like the right choice. Over time we've gotten to know the owner a bit, which just adds to the welcoming, personal feel of the place. The service is consistently great--friendly, attentive, and never overbearing. The wine selection is fantastic and really well curated. What I appreciate most is how they meet you where you are--if you just want a great glass of wine, they've got you. If you want to learn a little more, they're happy to guide you. And if you feel like geeking out on wine, they can absolutely go there too. They also sometimes project old movies on the wall, which adds a really fun, laid-back vibe and makes the whole experience even more memorable. It's comfortable, unpretentious, and always a good time. Hard to ask for more in a neighborhood wine bar. We'll keep coming back.

Obviously they have an extensive wine list and they are extremely knowledgeable about all things wine so it makes ordering easier. We were with a large group of about 10 people so we shared bottles as well as ordered by the glass. Several people in the group were raving about the soup of the day, saying how delicious it was and they have had it before. Soup wasn't my first thought with wine but I'm so glad I got it. It was filled with white beans, veggies, and so flavorful. I don't remember the exact name of it but I still think about how good it was. It literally was the best soup I've ever had! They have a great food menu in general. The vibe of the place is upbeat and chill at the same time. Besides being beautiful with wine as decor, it's a cozy feel with groups and couples all enjoying themselves. It's an upscale look but you feel like you are at a friend's house. Highly recommend stopping in for a glass, or bottle of wine and some food!

I've loved every single food item i've tried from here, all the different ceviches, the Tallarines Verdes, Adobo de Cerdo, Lomo Saltado??? Everything is incredible, but once I tried the Aji de Gallina, I was STUCK. I loved this dish so much, I would come here once every other month or so to get it, including my last three birthdays. But sadly, I will say, the last two times i've been here, (since July of 2026), I've been disappointed with the Aji de Gallina. Something is different. The chicken tastes drier now, and the sauce isn't quite what it used to be. I'm not sure if the recipe was changed, but please know I am devastated and heartbroken to no longer be able to get my favorite dish and have it taste like it once did. Will it stop me from coming here? No. But I needed to make it known that the change to this dish made someone who once couldn't deviate from eating it if I tried, turn into someone who now refuses to order it because I can't bank on it being as delicious as it once was. And for that, my heart hurts. Still love u guys tho.

I thought it was just a tiki bar, but it kinda is plus, the service was awesome. We sat at the bar, and the bartender whipped up one of the best old fashioneds I've ever had. They've got those giant ice cubes, which is a big win in my book. (Real whiskey drinkers know what I'm talking about) haha The bartender was super chill and asked if we had any questions about the menu. I was totally clueless about what to order, but when I mentioned what I like, he pointed me right to the dish I wanted. The vibe in the place is gorgeous, and yeah, it's a bit on the pricey side, but perfect for a date night. If you're looking to impress a girl in Petaluma, take her here! Or if you and the wifey want a night out, this is definitely the spot.

Full disclosure, I am not a member of the Petaluma Yacht Club, but I was a guest at the club,…read moreinvited by members. I'm sharing my experience with other Yelpers who may aspire to someday join our very own local Yacht Club. The crown jewels of the building are the fabulous deck overlooking the Petaluma River's turning basin and two large event rooms, one with a really cool Club-run bar. Club members take their turns as bartender and the drink menu features local wines, beer and a good selection of well and top shelf cocktails. The occasion for our visit was to enjoy a drink and watch an event on one of the Club's two televisions. The bonus was the camaraderie. Members came and went and they were all welcoming and fun to hang out with. The Yacht Club website lists their events, like the Holiday Lighted Boat Parade and a tropical themed Memorial Day celebration. My understanding is that you don't have to own your own boat to become a member but you do need sponsorship from existing members. Another great benefit of the Club is they belong to the PICYA (Pacific Inter-Club Yacht Association) and enjoy reciprocal privileges at over 100-member yacht and boat clubs.

We were greeted and seated pretty quickly. The server got us drinks as soon as we sat down. It was quaint, and clean. Friendly atmosphere. We ordered a large Italian salad to share, and a large combination pizza. The salad was fresh and it was good. I love salad. Our pizza came pretty quickly and was delicious. The crust is thick. I knew it would be. I think I prefer a thin crust. Other than my preference the pizza was delicious from the stuffed crust to the delicious toppings and the sauce was perfect, not too much not too little. Thankyou so much for the awesome lunch and great service.

What a find. We spent the day exploring Petaluma and decided to have dinner at Central Market. It…read morewas a complete home run. The service was outstanding from start to finish, but what really impressed me was seeing Chef/Owner Tony Najiola actively overseeing every aspect of the operation. He visited tables, checked on guests, and was clearly involved in every detail of the dining experience. That's something you rarely see anymore, especially from a restaurant owner who has been doing this for more than two decades, and it deserves to be applauded. Everything we ordered was fantastic. The shoestring zucchini was a great starter, the lobster risotto was rich and perfectly prepared, and the Testarossa pizza was absolutely outstanding. Pairing it all with a Pliny the Elder made for a perfect Sonoma County dinner. Central Market isn't just a great restaurant, it's the kind of place that reminds you why locally owned restaurants matter. We will definitely be back the next time we're in Petaluma.

This review reflects my experience with the restaurant's gift card process and, more specifically,…read morethe lack of communication, follow-through, and accountability from owner Tony Najiola over the course of several months. This review is not a reflection of the restaurant's food, service, or dining experience. In November 2025 I purchased a $150 gift card through Central Market's website via Toast. The gift card was never received. I first reached out in February 2026 to inquire about the missing gift card. Tony responded the following day suggesting that I may have been scammed. After I clarified that the purchase was made directly through Central Market's website, he acknowledged that he had misunderstood, stated that this was a known issue, and told me he would contact Toast to investigate. March 2026: A month passed with no update whatsoever. I called the restaurant and spoke with Tony directly. He told me that I would need to contact Toast myself--a completely different answer from what had previously been discussed. April 2026: I informed Tony via email that Toast's customer service system specifically states that support is intended for restaurant businesses, not customers. I followed up again by email on 4/30 asking if he had received my message and whether there was any update. I have received no response since. What is most disappointing is the lack of clarity and consistency throughout this process. At various points, I was told I may have been scammed, then told it was a known issue that would be investigated, and finally told to resolve it myself through a company that does not provide support to customers in this situation. Not once was there a proactive update, clear explanation, or meaningful attempt to resolve the issue. More than five months after paying $150, I still do not have the gift card (which was intended as a Christmas present for a close friend), a refund, or even the courtesy of a response to my follow-up emails. When a business takes a customer's money, there should be some level of accountability when something goes wrong. At this point, I can only conclude that customer service is not a priority. The complete lack of communication and follow-through has left me feeling that my concerns--and my business--simply do not matter. Based on my experience, I would strongly caution others against purchasing gift cards through their website.
