I had dinner here tonight with some friends. We shared salads, pasta and wine. Everything was delicious and the service was perfect. I love the atmosphere as the lighting is perfect and the seating is so comfortable. It’s truly a gem in the heart of Petaluma.

A very nice place with good food and lovely atmosphere. I wasn't impressed with the boar gnocchi, but my husband really enjoyed the chicken. Tiramisu was probably the best one that we tried (including the ones that we eat in Italy).

Had a wonderful time at Risibisi. The food was amazing. The Tomato Bruschetta was the best i’ve ever had. The bread was perfectly toasted on the outside and soft on the inside. I had the eggplant parm and it was so flavorful and a perfect serving. My husband had the Carbonara, he said it was really good and creamy. We look forward to another visit and trying something different

Excellent food and drinks. Service was a bit spotty. Our waiter was annoyed that we wanted to split our ticket for our group of two couples. It was insanely busy, so that probably didn’t help. Overall, would definitely recommend.

Risibisi is a famous restaurant in Downtown Petaluma. The food is delicious, and the service is excellent. The dining room is very romantic and comfortable. The street parking is a little more challenging, especially on the weekends. I recommend making dinner reservations, or you might not have a table. I hope you’ll enjoy your meal in Risibisi as I do.
