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 - Chopped wedge salad and garlic bread - 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

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

Soggy wood fired pizza, ordered a kids pasta for my daughter and received a full size one, would not correct on bill. Also find out that there is automatic gratuity on a family of 6 but didn't see it on the menu. The rest of the food was decent but the still left with a bad taste in my mouth read more

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

Art's Place - Pesto lasagna and spaghetti with meatballs - New American Near Me - Rohnert Park, California

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

Good food, large portions on the chicken parmigiana and service was good. Tv screens with basketball playoffs.

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

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

Great food for a good price. Do I need to say More! My wife and friend's go there at least once a month and the food is always great. Friendly service right when you walk through the door. If you have not been there, try it. read more

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

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

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

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

Ten out of ten! Best pesto, and so many other things wonderful service clean nice restaurant. I love the food here!

I asked the waiter for the specials. The fillet mignon. I asked how it was prepared. He said it had gravy on the top. When it came out it was bacon wrapped. Shouldn't he have known that? He did not even know how many ounces it was. It was not a very good steak. Beer was lukewarm, mash potatoes were cold. No salt and pepper on the table. Had to ask for that. Took forever. read more

My first visit to Arts with a friend. . We found the food to be delicious, although pricey. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs with salad, a beer to wash that down. In fact we all had beer lol the other party ordered a sandwich. All impressed with the amount of food you do receive. The establishment is clean, happily greeted, seated quickly. The only pause we had was when asking for separate checks. We were told it's too difficult. ? Just for 2? She went on to say about larger groups, having just one check. We were not a large group. We both left the server a tip. In fact my tip was $15.00 We both left feeling confused. Never had we had been told we can't have separate checks. It causes frustration I feel since I often don't carry cash. We'll dine here again but I think the server is confused, I think this only pertained to her. I think she felt she wouldn't be tipped properly. 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

BEST food ever! Very professional and friendly servers...they are truly "on it". The food is always the best...from meatball sandwich to pasta and the spumoni is wonderful!

Great spot for groups of people, the food is excellent especially the shrimp scampi in the fra diavolo sauce, the regular shrimp scampi is good as well. It gets busy at times so you may wait a little longer for assistance but it isn't a deal breaker whatsoever. I have never had a bad experience here. read more

Amazing food packed full of flavor. Personally LOVE the nachos omg. The store bought ranch is depressing though so I bring my own.

I love this place always have. Everyone I bring here also loves it. I must say I'm confused by the bad reviews. I always get great service and delicious food. I don't eat meat but I love all their veggie options. There's not a full bar but there is a great beer, wine and cider list. They are always very careful about food allergies- my husband is allergic to dairy and we have never had an issue here with them accidentally putting dairy on or in his food. The ambience is very casual. They have a small bar some tables and a few large booths that I really like for family dinners or date nights bc they are very tall and private. I am someone who is very comfortable eating out alone and doing things on my own however there are certain places I really feel comfy, safe and at home alone and Art's Place is one of them. I enjoy coming here and having a drink at the bar while I wait for a Togo order as much as I enjoy family dinners here. I obviously highly recommend Arts especially if your a pasta fan like me. read more

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

Best in Sonoma County! Great specials and services. Lots of TV's for games. Nothing is too expensive.

Everything has to be over the top for a 5 star but this place is a must. If you like a split bar/restaurant this would be a 5 star for you. Seating is pretty tight. But that's it. Everything else from the service, the food, the cleanliness, the choices... all 5 star. Art, RIP, apparently knew what he was doing when he opened this place and started serving up his variety of dishes. I'm writing this a bit late and after my second visit there. Sadly I did not take pictures the second time there and I can't recall many of the details from the first visit when it comes to who had what but these are the sandwiches, fries, soup and salad from that trip. Totally fresh, delicious and knew we had to return as we are not from the area. Second trip, I know one dinner mate had a sausage burger... sounds crazy but amazing, another had a panini and couldn't stop bragging on it. 3rd dinner mate... no idea. Me, I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo, with minestrone soup. The soup was delicious and full of veggies, potatoes and meat. The pasta was cooked to perfection and the sauce... well, I about licked the bowl. Art's Place is a go to place when the area! Everything a read more

Excellent food, great service wonderful atmosphere. Worth trying if it's the first time, returnable place.

Came in for lunch and had the best service and meal. We ordered a small pizza on the lunch special and a Tri Tip Dip. The pizza was delicious. We love a crispy well-baked crust. The Tri Tip Dip had so much beautifully roasted meat that it was falling out of the sourdough roll it came on! The au jus that accompanied the sandwich was rich and tasty, not at all salty and watery that is served in other restaurants. Our server, Yoselin, was friendly and efficient. Great experience overall and we won't wait so long to come back! read more

Good good good. Hearty dishes. Good service. Pasta and excellent starters. The buttermilk dipped onion rings the best!

Wonderful service...kid pizza looked great my calzone not so great ! Loved the wedge salad and onion rings

A Friday afternoon at noon, the restaurant was busy but not crowded. When we left at 1:30 pm, the restaurant was filled. I usually have the lasagna, which is always good. This time I had the Shrimp Scampi. For my taste, the sauce was too thin. The sauce didn't coat the spaghetti. Served with a lot of capers and shrimp. I read in another review that someone said that canola oil was substituted for olive oil in salad dressing. I wonder if canola oil was used in this sauce. I took the leftovers home, and the next day, spaghetti tasted better as the sauce had coated the spaghetti. The garlic bread was delicious. My friend had Chicken Marsala. The sauce was delicious. The servings were ample. She enjoyed her meal. Service was great. The waitress was attentive. Next time, I might try something else off the menu, but it's hard to beat the lasagna, which is my favorite. read more
