City: Petaluma, CA
Category: Restaurants
Telephone: (707) 765-0695
Address: 124 Washington Street
Description: There’s a lot of old-world charm in this place run by the Volpi family; it’s been on the local scene since 1925—in a building that was once a speakeasy. This is family-style dining in an unhurried atmosphere. The cuisine is Italian, created by chef Glen Petrucci, who specializes in homemade pastas, veal, and seafood. The fully stocked bar serves tavern and restaurant patrons. If you’re up to it, you can listen to live accordion music Friday and Saturday evenings. Lunch is served Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday; dinner Wednesday through Sunday.
