Petaluma, CA is home to just under sixty-thousand residents and is about 30 minutes north of San Francisco.  Larry Sartori of The Sartori Team and Michael Regan of The Regan Team Home Loan Group discuss what makes Petaluma, CA a great place to live.

Petaluma, CA: Graziano's Ristorante is one of the best Italian restaurants in town.

Located in the heart of Petaluma's downtown and set in the historic Wickersham Building at 170 Petaluma Blvd. North, Graziano's Ristorante has a welcoming feel from the moment you walk through the front door. With its large full bar and separate spacious dining area, it is a fabulous place for happy hour snacking or a leisurely elegant meal.

My husband and I moved to Petaluma, CA six years ago and Graziano's was one of the first restaurants we tried. I fell in love with their lasagna immediately and he was very excited to find Pollo Dorato (breast of chicken in a light egg batter with lemon butter and white wine) on their menu.

Graziano's was the first restaurant we took our daughter to at three weeks old. Now, at two and a half, she feels as if it is her special place with the warm welcome she always receives when we arrive.

One of the main factors which has kept us returning year after year is Grazianos' wonderful staff. The quality of service has always been impeccable. We regularly request to be seated in Jeff's section. He has an easy-going demeanor and follows our queues to establish the pace of our meal (which always begins with their wonderful bruschetta and a plate of the tuna carpaccio al tartuf). Their wine list is filled with a diverse selection of wines and includes many local delights.

A recent addition to the Graziano's experience is their 28°, temperature controlled Vodika Lounge. It was the first of its kind in Northern California and offers a selection of over 70 premium vodkas from all over the world. The restaurant provides faux fur coats to keep you warm inside the refrigerated space and offers food pairings to compliment the tasting experience.

Of the many Italian restaurants in Petaluma, Graziano's is definitely worth checking out. A friendly yet scrumptious dining experience awaits you. Though they will do their best to accommodate walk-ins, I definitely recommend making a reservation.
