Was turned on to this little sweet spot by a young lady at the front desk of a hotel not worth mentioning. Turned out to be the best thing ever to come out of that place. This is a small, cozy but not too cozy, as the seats are rather close, The staff was able to find a spot on... more

I have dined at Risibisi several times since it opened and each time, I have been impressed with the food, the service and the overall dining experience. The owner, Marco, is the consummate host. He greets guests personally either at the door, or once they are seated. He stops by the table to make sure you are doing well. He... more

We went here for lunch on our way to Santa Rosa and it was the best meal we had the entire week in california! We both got pasta dishes. One of the dishes had homemade pasta and the other was penne that was cooked perfectly. We sat outside in back- not exactly the "riverfront" views we expected but the experience... more

The champagne mojito is mouth watering. we've eaten here a number of times and I have enjoyed the food every time. They had a great prix fixe menu for New Years. It's got good date night ambiance. more

Now the lunch menu consists of a... more

Really nice atmosphere and very good modern italian. Champagne mojitos are not to be missed! more

If you are looking for a fantastic dining experience that won't bankrupt you, you must check out Risibisi in downtown Petaluma. The place is absolutely beautiful inside. It's warm and inviting, but incredibly hip while retaining a classic elegance. I am always greeted with a smile by the friendly staff and sweet owner Marco, no matter how busy the house... more

My husband and I are Petaluma natives and we go to Risibisi about once a month. We simply love the food, the ambiance, and Marco, the owner - he is a visionary and so charming. The restaurant is approaching its two year anniversary and we are so happy to have them in our town. They have a new chef who... more
