This restaurant is small. It is best to get there early or
you'll wait a while before sitting down. They have a
great selection of Italian Food on the menu. The food
is to die for - wonderful/fabulous. The prices are not high for what you get. The staff is helpful and friendly.

I love pasta and this place has the best pasta around! The lasagna is homemade and so good. It gets packed at lunch so make sure you arrive early. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. It is a little pricey but the portions are big so it makes up for it. They also have great risotto.

The food here is fantastic. The bruschetta rustic is a warm, chewy appetizer with pesto and fresh tomatoes on fresh bread topped with melted mozzerella...And the linguini with red clam sauce is perfection. The service...not so much. In fact, we were told upon finishing our main course that there were people waiting for a table in a way that suggested that we would not be having dessert, like it or not. We felt very intrusive being there, like it was a chore for them to serve you. And no matter when you go, it is crowded and hard to hear the person across from you, though the table right behind you is loud and clear. If you want good food, come here. If you want to be pampered, go up to Niccolinos in Cotati for good service.

this man is rude so rude hung up on me when i was trying toask a simple question. said he was to "busy" sad to busy to deal with a customer??? horrible!

Caffe Giostra is one of the best Italian restaurants in Petaluma. The food is superb, especially the pasta dishes. The brushetta is a definite pick.
