" I had heard fantastic things about Caffe Giostra, so I decided to stop by for lunch. While it was bustling, I was seated quickly, and the waitstaff were exceptionally professional. I tried their famous gnocchi, which was light and fluffy, soaking up the delicious sauce wonderfully. However, I wished they had offered more vegetarian options. The ambiance felt authentically Italian, which I found charming. Overall, a great spot for a comforting meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" On a busy Saturday night, we managed to snag a table for two at Caffe Giostra. The atmosphere was energetic and bustling, which we enjoyed. We ordered the seafood linguine which was flavorful but I wished there was a bit more seafood in it for that price tag. Service was commendable, very friendly and attentive despite the rush. Overall, it's a solid restaurant but perhaps not the best for a quiet meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Caffe Giostra was truly a remarkable experience. The staff made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. I ordered the special seafood risotto, and it was divine! Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, it reminded me of my trip to Italy. The atmosphere was cozy yet lively, making it a perfect spot for a date night or a family dinner. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, providing great recommendations. We can't wait to return for another delicious meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Upon entering Caffe Giostra, all I could smell was garlic and fresh pasta—a good sign! The server was delightful and suggested I try the ravioli special. I was blown away! Large portions filled with creamy ricotta, and the sauce was bursting with flavor. The vibe is very warm and welcoming, with effusive decor. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for **authentic Italian cuisine** in a cozy setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" We went here for a family dinner, and while I looked forward to it, the experience was a mixed bag. My husband enjoyed the chicken piccata, but their pizza was underwhelming and lacked flavor. Service was good, but it seemed rushed due to the crowd. The decor is lovely and feels very Italian, so I'll give them that. There's definitely potential for improvement! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm pleasantly surprised by Caffe Giostra. I was a bit hesitant given its popularity, but the food lived up to the hype. My partner and I shared the bruschetta and it was a fantastic start to the meal! I then had the gnocchi, which perfectly matched my expectations. It's one of the best I've tasted outside of Italy. The only downside was the seating arrangement felt a bit cramped, but the cuisine truly makes it worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful little restaurant! I stumbled upon Caffe Giostra while exploring Petaluma, and I'm so glad I did. The atmosphere is cozy with warm lighting, making it perfect for an intimate dinner. I selected the veal saltimbocca, which was phenomenal! The combination of flavors was spot on, and the service added to the pleasant experience. I ended with a slice of tiramisu which I can’t stop thinking about. Will definitely be back for more!
