The shrimp with Sorrento lemons was so good--fresh, zesty, and full of flavor. The place had such a nice vibe, with Italian music and black-and-white movies playing on the wall. It honestly felt like being in Italy. I'd definitely come back! read more

This was our first time at the restaurant and we were very impressed. We brought two young boys with us who were treated with respect and with a great children's menu. The timing of our food delivery was excellent as they bought the boys dinners first so they could get started. The food was incredible.. The menu is small however every item is well thought out and quite delicious. I highly recommend the branzino! read more

Impromptu dinner at the Petaluma location. We sat at the bar and had a great time. Service was great and everyone was very friendly. We ordered the Parmigiana di Patate and Margherita ai Trei Limoni pizzas and the fried Brussels sprouts. Everything was delicious. Can't wait to go back! read more

Im writing this moments after I left. I went in and sat at the bar. No one talked to me or gave me a menu. I just sat there for several minutes. Then I see the bartenders return and they are just talking to themselves which pissed me off. So I decided to give them a full minute to address me after I'd been waiting a few minutes already. Pulled out my phone and timed it. Nothing. So I got up and left. Then I thought it was prudent and thoughtful to call them to let them know what happened- figured I'd give them a second chance; I was just down the block after all. I call in and the guy puts me on hold. I said I'll wait no more than 5 minutes on hold. At min 5 I hung up and decided to leave this review. Low quality of service all around. I'm currently sitting at Sugo. Walked in and a girl asked me about my book. Ordered promptly. I don't appreciate being treated like that so they get a bad review. read more

Great delicious food! I loved the presentation of the Tiramisu. Our server was busy, though, I appreciated the constant updates from him regarding our order. It's definitely loud and lively. This is not a complaint. If you're planning a romantic quiet dinner, this is not the place. But if noise levels aren't really a concern, this is definitely the place. I enjoyed the Pappardelle al Tartufo with a Lady in Pink cocktail. I did not finish my meal. I was able to actually make it three meals for myself. I enjoyed the train very much. I noticed when I walked in that they have a bar area in a separate room which I would like to visit sometime. The restaurant it's itself it's really nice on the inside. I felt like I was in Italy with all the decor and our servers accent. I enjoyed my visit very much and will be returning sometime soon. read more

Made a reservation for three same day. Walked into a colorful waiting area. The restaurant is beautiful, the colors, tables, small window detailing I haven't seen much like it. I got the capri citrus mocktail and it was so good, the pick lady mocktail was even better. Calamari was perfect it comes with seasonal veggies as well with a side of aoli I believe. I got the Cotoletta as my main. We were still waiting on a salad as we were halfway through and server came to check in and we told her. Seemed like she had forgotten so we just told her to scratch that. The cotoletta does come with salad and the dressing was super flavorful with capers added, the chicken was okay I'll want to try something else next time. Overall pretty good! read more

This bustling place serves great delicious Italian favorite in a modern setting. It is a very loud restaurant. The help was charming and attentive. Our appetizers were perfect portions. I always appreciate it when something comes three to an order and there are four people, for the waitress to ask if we wanted a fourth meatball. Thoughtful. Silly not to. The Brussels sprouts could have used more char and flavor. The pizza with truffles smelled heavenly. The pizza had plentiful toppings. They serve the tiramisu in an espresso pot. A clever touch. read more

My family went to L'Oro Di Napoli to celebrate a birthday, the service and the food was amazing. The place looks amazing - great for a celebration, date night, or business dinner. Full disclosure: I wasn't there, but I scored the leftovers. The pistachio pizza is amazing and worth 5/5. The calzone is also rich and filling! read more

Delicious pizza and a seriously buzzing atmosphere. Our waiter was attentive and the wines were really tasty. Note: the focaccia is not what you might be thinking of... it's more like a pizza without toppings. Perhaps this is something Americans misunderstand, but I was expecting something more pillowy. This lacked flavor for the most part. Also to note: the bruschetta used pretty flavorless tomatoes. That was surprising during tomato season. They were also logistically difficult to eat since the bread was thick and kinda hard. Otherwise, the calamari and all of the pizzas we ordered were delish. read more

Finally got to try this spot in downtown Petaluma and what a treat! So glad we made rezzos as it was slammed. It's conveniently located next door to brewsters so come early and grab drinks there before your dinner reservation! The decor was super cute with modern Italian decor and great pics of Italy everywhere. The food was some serious Italian comfort food, with a great wine list and aperol spritz/hugo spritz flowing. The wait staff were so friendly, efficient and attentive. We had the meatballs and the mushroom truffle toast to start and then had the gnocchi and bolognese and ended with the Nonna tarte and tiramisu served in an adorable mokka pot. I wish I had snapped more pics. It was all amazing!!!! I really hope this place sticks around!!!! read more

Ambiance: This spot seemed popular and newer, so we thought we'd check it out. Restaurant was crowded and loud (just a little too loud for our tastes since we had a hard time hearing each other). Decor was nice and the little lamp and flowers they had at the center of the table was a nice touch. Service: We hadn't made a reservation, but were sat right away. It took about 20 minutes for our waitress to come and take our order. It felt like a long wait and it seemed like the wait staff was stretched thin across the restaurant since I only saw a couple of waiters across the whole place. Fortunately, once our order was taken, the food came out in a more reasonable amount of time. However, in general, our waitress didn't come and check up on us very much throughout our meal and it felt like we needed to go out of our way to get the service we needed like refills and new napkins. Food: Salads were good. Unfortunately, it seemed like all the other dishes we ordered had the same problem - very salty. I thought the calamari was good since it's supposed to be salty and they gave you a good amount of it compared to other restaurants. However, we ordered a couple of pizzas and they were just so salty it was hard to get past. We also ordered the lamb chops and the meat quality just didn't taste quite right. We couldn't really put our finger on what was wrong, but ultimately we had to send it back. Overall, it felt overpriced for the food quality we received. read more

$58. Cold pizza. Like, cold. Not even tepid. A salad whose vinaigrette dressing wasn't mixed before being put in its ramekin so what I got was just olive oil. For $58 dollars I would expect a little more care put into my order. Is that too much to expect? I really don't think so. Doesn't anybody care about being excellent anymore? Bummed. read more

Oh, and did I forget the cannoli? BEST EVER. I wish I could make them, but, then again, I would be eating them every day.

Rustic authentic Italian cuisine served in the heart of downtown Petaluma, L'Oro Di Napoli and their impact on the dining scene in Sonoma County is just being felt as this is their second location and first in the city of Petaluma. Located on a busy intersection of Petaluma Boulevard North and East Washington Streets, L'Oro Di Napoli comes from partners Domenico De Angelis and Roberto Sbaraglia, who came together to share their ancestral cuisine with those in wine country. With their first location in downtown Santa Rosa making waves in such a short amount of time, it was only logical that a second even larger location would open in the heart of Petaluma replacing the long standing Lemongrass Thai Noodle. What brought a friend and I here for a quick dinner on a chilly weekend evening was the fact that Petaluma was bustling with activity that no matter where we went, every place had a room filled with customers. Thankfully when we happened upon L'Oro Di Napoli they had just opened for dinner service, and neither of their two bar areas that they conveniently have, were filled with diners just yet. Getting two seats at the bar was just some of our luck, as their dining room too would be filled with diners the longer we stayed in our seats. The dinner menu at L'Oro Di Napoli is separated into categories including Antipasti E Fritti, which was their appetizer and salad menu; Bruschette or bruschetta menu; Paste & Main or pastas and main courses; Le Pizze or pizzas; Contorni or sides, in addition to their wine and non alcoholic beverages; and their dessert menu. There were a lot of enticing menu items to choose from and our bartender / server Karla recommended their signature pizzas on their menu with their Boscaiola and their Manca Style being top sellers. Their Manca Style pizza was topped with sliced roasted potatoes, marinated cherry tomatoes, onions, Fior di Latte, basil and parmigiano. After learning that this pizza would only be available for a limited time, we both decided to order to share a couple of slices. To start our meal, we split their Insalata della Casa, which featured a mix of green salad topped with artichokes, marinated onions, dried tomatoes and a lemon mustard dressing. Our meal began with our salads and the biggest surprise was the fact that they were nice enough to split them into two salad entrées at no additional cost. These two salads served with extra pepper ground from a mill on top were the nicest salads that I have enjoyed in quite some time. Fresh with an abundance of vegetables with just the right amount of salt and seasoning, it was a great way to start our meal. While waiting for our freshly made, handmade pizza to arrive, we had the chance to take in all the lively activity of this new restaurant. The space is essentially two dining rooms separated by a wall, which helps keep the sound well-contained, so even with a full house, we never had to raise our voices to hear one another. It made for a comfortable and enjoyable dining atmosphere. Our pizza would arrive, and it was a delicious and unexpected way to enjoy fresh toppings on pizza. When adding in their accompaniments, including one of the spiciest hot oils that I have tasted, it only enhanced our meal. Being able to save a slice for takeout was an extra bonus. With extra room to consider dessert, it was recommended that their tiramisu was their handcrafted signature dessert, and we were sold. A traditional dessert filled with espresso soaked ladyfingers, with mascarpone cheese in between and topped with cocoa powder, what wasn't expected was the fact that this chilled dessert was served in an Italian stainless steel espresso maker. With our dessert finished and all the fun that came with it, our perfect meal at the perfect restaurant felt complete. Our final bill came to $54.02 which, for three courses shared between two people, I consider very reasonably priced. I'd happily return to L'Oro Di Napoli anytime I'm strolling through Petaluma. Diners here embark on a true culinary odyssey that celebrates the authentic flavors of Italy, thanks to their commitment to crafting each dish with the freshest, locally sourced ingredients, ensuring every bite is a symphony of flavor. read more

I remember when the Santa Rosa location opened up, and I tried a couple of their pizzas. I'm happy they got a Petaluma location since I've moved back there. I tried it with my aunt (who's a picky eater) and my cousin. Started with the bruschetta which was very refreshing. Tomato's were firm and juicy. Great and simple starter. We got two pizzas, but the pistachio one was our agreed favorite.. I thought it would be too complicated for my aunt, but she enjoyed it. The server was super friendly and helpful. She recommended the pistachio cake which we all absolutely loved. My cousin got some vanilla ice-cream with espresso, which he enjoyed too. Great looking restaurant. Very cosy. We sat next to the bar area. There was a cool projector displaying an old school film on the brick wall. Music playing was nice. All in all good ambiance. Glad we got to try it. Definitely a place worth eating there and enjoying. I don't think take out pizza would be the same. Gotta have it nice and fresh. Definitely will try their pasta dishes and other appetizers next time I visit. read more

Mother's day seated at bar and greeted by person behind bar - she walks to the end of bar and proceeds to chat with 2 other people for 10 minutes then comes over to us and asked if we've been helped yet but she knows we haven't. When we were finishing up I'm drinking water and she comes out of nowhere and sticks a rose in my face making me choke on my water. Why also does a guy behind bar ask me, in Italian, what my name is? What server ever asks you your name? Also 2 gals behind bar right in front of us gossiping about co-workers. Never coming back. Unprofessional service. read more

Decided to try this new establishment that recently opened, great renovation and decor, ambience very nice as well as the decor-great looking bar. Place was busy and food was coming out steadily, being as we could get seated earlier we decided to eat small plates and was very happy with our choices. We also enjoyed an order of the house made focaccia with our salad. Service was witty and entertaining though very busy with other tables. We saw a lot of delicious dishes go by and decided we need to come back and continue "grazing" the menu. Well done my fellow paisans tutti delizioso! A presto! read more

I had an amazing experience at L'Oro Napoli. The restaurant itself is beautiful and creates a really welcoming atmosphere, but what truly stood out to me was the level of service. Our waiter was exceptional, attentive without being overbearing, genuinely kind, and clearly passionate about making sure we had a great experience. You can tell when someone takes pride in what they do, and it elevated the entire night. It also speaks volumes about the leadership behind the scenes. The owner has clearly built a team that cares, and it shows in every interaction. Experiences like this don't happen by accident, they're a reflection of strong values and high standards. Great food, even better service. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

I am a sucker for wood fired pizza. Period. So, when I can walk 7 blocks from home to a new spot in town featuring just that -- well -- what took me so long? Well, the delay is over. The first thing I noticed walking in - what a transformation that has occurred from the previous Thai restaurant that occupied this location! There was some tremendous thoughtfulness in bringing out the best in this old building's space. I love exposed old red brick walls as much as I like woodfired pizza... so, another win here. The walls are tastefully adorned with artwork, and behind the bar, film noir is projected onto the brick wall. It's nuance, not movie time - and catches your eye from time to time. There is a by the bottle of wine list that I haven't really dug into very much yet, but I will next visit. By the glass, there is an adequate availability of red, white and bubbles. You can also get a cocktail.... Being a wine guy primarily, I ordered a Sangiovese by the glass, which was perfect. (I also tasted a Barbera - a little bit more ripe and full bodied so I didn't choose it for my pizza.) Karla at the bar was kind and friendly and took my order. There are a healthy assortment of appetizers available, as well as pastas and main courses, including a sea bass dish. There's those pizzas... I find the best thing to do - although they had several interesting choices - is order the tried and true Margherita pizza. The menu boasts San Marzano tomatoes being used for the sauce, which for me is so good -- and authentic to the pie. The restaurant was pretty darn busy, so there was a little bit of a delay, getting my pizza in and out of the oven. But I was just enjoying the surroundings and the environment which was warm and comfortable and inviting. The pizza arrived - probably 10 or 12 inches, cut into four larger pieces. Parmesan was brought to me by Karla, which I added liberally. The crust was perfect A a little chewy, slightly sweeter in flavor (does not taste "sourdough" which I appreciated!), and so fresh. The mozzarella was well placed and just right in amount, and the sauce was delicious. Winner. After dinner, I glanced at the dessert menu, and my interest was drawn to the tiramisu as well as a Nutella pizza. I will try them another night, and look forward to it. One other thing I'd like to address is value. Wine by the glass at $12 each is extraordinarily reasonable. my Margarita pizza was $22, also quite respectable. And another thing. There are choices in Petaluma. This doesn't take away from a great spot like Hank's at the other end of the Boulevard, or Cucina Paradiso. L'Oro Di Napoli merely adds to the riches of the Petaluma culinary scene. If you're looking for good service, good food and fantastic ambiance, you will not be disappointed! read more

Big fans of the Santa Rosa location so we were super excited about this Petaluma location. This location is so much bigger! The decor is so beautiful and the staff are just as amazing! They also have a larger menu here compared to the Santa Rosa location, so there's a reason to come here. We ordered the Calamari and Crocchette Tartufate as appetizers. Both delicious and stunning. Can't go wrong with them. However the mains were what had me HOOKED. The Pappardelle Al Tartufo was probably my favorite dish. The truffle sauce was SO ridiculously delicious and the handmade pasta was perfect. The flavors of this dish are just mind blowing. I also recommend the Ribeye. Insanely tender and great seasoning. That chimichurri sauce pairs so perfectly with the meat as well. Of course you can never go wrong with any of the pizzas but their Margherita is the star. Get yourself some of the seasonal veggies too! Everything was just amazing! This location definitely lives up to the Santa Rosa location. I love their extensive menu and flavors. I can't wait to come back here! read more

We find ourselves coming back to this restaurant again and again! It's easily one of the best Italian spots in Petaluma. The ambiance/interior transports you straight to Naples, a city in Italy. You can tell the owners and the staff really care about your experience, they treat you like family once you step inside. The food is phenomenal -- authentic, flavorful, and unique. There are so many options, there's something for everyone. I was also pleasantly surprised by the variety of vegetarian and seafood options. My personal favorite is the Pappardelle al Tartufo, the black truffle cream sauce is to-die for! We've also tried their Diavola, Boscaiola, and Calzone pizzas, all full of flavor. Since this restaurant is new and already very popular, expect a possible wait during dinner hours--but trust me, it's worth it. 10/10 recommend! read more

Amazing on all counts! They don't take reservations here and it's really popular and not so big but we went early and lucked out. The service was great and we loved our server Zoe who was the perfect blend of cheerful and helpful. Really cozy inside and it just smells like delicious pizza although they do have pastas and other dishes. We shared the house salad which was very tasty and easily serves two. Nice Italian wines by the glass as well as bottles. The margarita pizza was just like the ones we had in Naples. This place is legit. The meatballs were killer and like my Italian grandmother in laws. Then we shared the pistachio cake which was sort of like tiramisu minus the espresso and chocolate, if that makes sense,but was just amazing! And light! As we left we felt like we were in a favorite sushi restaurant with everyone saying goodbye including the pizzaiolo! So great on all counts: service, food and ambience! Grazie Mille! read more

Had a great lunch today! Definitely noticed immediately how friendly the staff was. Everyone that was working on the floor said hello and welcomed us which I really appreciate. The service was prompt and the room filled quickly. We had the Amatriciana pizza and panzanella with white anchovies. The little hot Calabrian peppers in oil they give you as a topping for the pizza is absolutely bangin. We also got this really fun dessert called the Sgroppino with limoncello and prosecco and sorbet! If you're craving a really Italian vibe this is absolutely the place to go in Petaluma! read more

We were excited to try L'Oro di Napoli in their new location. Parking was a bit of a challenge but we managed to get there on time and were seated promptly. The menu is similar to their Santa Rosa location but without the famous lasagna. We decided on the Tartufato (mushroom) pie and the calamari. The pizza looked great with plenty of mushrooms and the accompanying condiments were fresh and tasty. Sadly the pizza was warm, not hot, and very soggy as if it had been sitting around for a while before coming to our table. If you're going to specialize in Napoli style pizza it has to be served fresh and hot. The calamari and veggies were light and crispy and enough to share. read more

Well I said I I wouldn't be back but I went back because friends invited us! This time I tried the Gnocchi Alla Carbonara! The description on the menu made it sound amazing! When it arrived I took a bite and was instantly super.........Disappointed!!! Lacked flavor! Our friends ordered two pizzas! They were just ok! Our friends had ordered some apps before we arrived. There was the calamari which again disappointed us. Lacked flavor and the ramekin the sauce was in was way too small to dip into and wasn't even enough sauce for the calamari! Friends also had ordered the Focaccia and Burrata which were both amazing!!!! I definitely won't be back. Next Italian meal will be at Cucina Paradiso! Like I said in the last review Cucina has amazing service food and bar! Saluti e buon appetito al ristorante Cucina Paradiso! Ciao! La Vita E Bella read more

How this place has anything less than 5 overall stars is beyond me...the food and service was phenomenal!!

My husband and I have been to L'Oro Di Napoli twice now in the last month and both times were delightful! The first time we were there, we sat at the pizza bar and shared a pizza and some cocktails. We got to watch all the pizzas being made... Which is a lot of fun and the crust was some of the best we've ever had... The pizza was perfectly baked and not too many Ingredients on top. It was just the right amount. Our second time back, we got to enjoy the Arancini as well as the tiramisu and cannolis along with our pizzas and they were all phenomenal. If you like tiramisu... You've got to try theirs. Also the cannolis were the best. I've had. It tasted like there might have been some cinnamon in the Crust? I'm not sure, but it was absolutely perfect. The staff is very attentive, will engage you in conversation, and is genuinely interested in contributing to a really nice dining experience. The restaurant is divided into three basic areas. There is the bar, the dining area, and the pizza bar and they all are eclectically decorated so you feel like you're sitting in a café in Italy. We love this place and we will definitely go back again and again... So excited to have them in Petaluma read more
