The CUTEST little Italian restaurant you’ll ever see.
The setting was perfect for a date - an intimate setting, with patio heaters and soft Italian music in the background, pretty lights, candles and flowers on the tables, the works.
Our server, Darian, was such a wonderful man with an upbeat and cheerful personality, who recommended us wonderful dishes - a mushroom pizza and a pomodoro sauce pasta, both of which were outstanding!
I am waiting for my crème brûlée as I write this review, that should tell you how lovely it is.
PS - another huge shoutout to our server, Darian. He had such an amazing energy :)
Lovely afternoon spent with my 4 sisters. The food was delicious and the wine so smooth to the palate. Staff was prompt with their service and didn't mind that we stayed well after their closing time for their lunch service.
Wonderful Italian takeout only, food has reminded great, so sad they gave up their former checkered tablecloth location, but good for the Citti fam, they seem to be thriving.
The gnocchi made a convert of our 9 year old because it was out of this world delicious. Get the citti sauce for sure!! The lasagna was just like how I imagine my great great Italian grandmother would make. Plus, the pizza was so good and a winner for both kids.
We had a party of 10 that was accommodated on their back porch overlooking the stream. (Heaters available if needed.) Very nice setting for a birthday celebration. Food was delicious and the server went above and beyond to accommodate all our needs. They have great take out as well. Will definitely return.
Still amazing after their move. Picked up Linguine Pesto & Ravioli soup. The soup surprised me. I ordered it on a whim. Incredible! I did see a few small tables out back. Can't wait to go back.
My family and I have been coming here since they opened and it has consistently been my favorite restaurant. Authentic, straightforward, northern Italian perfection. My parents compare every caeser salad to Citti's and - spoiler alert - no one else gets it right. (Today's wasn't as garlic forward as usual but we forgive). Homemade croutons, an anchovy, perfect creamy/citrus balance... Also, Luca's pesto is unmatched. I generally don't order pesto out because I'm a bit snobby about it and don't think anyone can make it as good as me. Except for Luca. I'm also partial to the A.O.P. but you really can't go wrong on the menu. You can tell that the dedication Luca and team brings to the restaurant goes beyond the food - it goes to the people too. I remember being so impressed and welcomed when staff that was there when I was 8 years old was there when I was 20. Grazie, Luca. Mangiamo!
Just did quick stop on our way back from napa! Amazing place , Very friendly staff and patio is beautiful and cozy! Went for a small dessert but ended up ordering house specials…super yummy food! It’s a hidden gem….wish I knew about this place sooner, I would definitely come back!
Directly off the road during your drive through the Sonoma Valley, between Glen Ellen and Santa Rosa, it's easy to find. All handmade pastas, sauces, and desserts, which any good Italian place would offer yet hard to find anymore. The atmosphere was semi chic yet very casual, allowing the customer to come in in any clothing style and with any company. Order at the bar and then you can get table service. The pricing was fair yet slightly on the expensive side for the fact of having to order at a counter. Would recommend restaurant change to a full table service. Also some of the chairs seemed rather worn and obviously not expensive chairs, so they should be replaced. Will definitely go back.
If you want authentic real Italian homemade grandma grandpa kinda unpretentious restaurant, this is it! Delicious affordable, nice little spot in wine country.
