Reviews
This place does not disappoint! The food is absolutely delicious. If i have to chose, my favorite was the homemade ravioli. The veal is good too (especially the potato on the side). Both appetizers are so fresh. The carpaccio was sliced to the perfect thickness... Everything honestly was chef's kiss.
Came here on a Thursday night and so glad we made a reservation. The place is packed by 7pm, but not loud; as it is a classy establishment, dressing up is not a must but doesn't hurt to dress to impress.
This is going onto my "must visit" restaurant when I visit Sonoma County!
Impressive meal!
Went here for lunch with a client (their recommendation) and was very happy with the decision. It's a nice place with a classic restaurant feel. There were a couple minor bumps, but the service overall was good. We were celebrating a win, so I got the cioppino and an order of the ravioli; both were delicious. I also partook in an Espresso Martini, which was solid. We sat outside by the water front, I'm always a fan of the indoor/outdoor places.
I'd go back and would recommend it to others.

This place is a little gem in downtown Petaluma. The only thing holding it back is maybe the prices are a we bit high. The bruschetta is delicious, as well as the veal saltimbaca. Orders the Natale off their drink menu and I would highly recommend this drink if you are a fan of vodka and champagne together, my wife had a gin and tonic she was pleased with her drink as well. I forgot to take pucites of the main course, but I got some of the drink and appetizer.
Picked up the ham I ordered 3 years ago from Caulter Thickwacker's Hogatorium up there on Slingback Ridge, it's been hanging in his block house since Feb. 2021, and should be perfect for Christmas. Three years out you gotta order these things cause he only does about 50 of them and Man-O-Man are the good! They cost a pretty penny but they're well worth it, just like the food you get from Cucina Paradiso on the north side of Petaluma Blvd.
Real authentic Italian cuisine isn't hard to come by...if you know where to go, and for me, it's Cucina Paradiso right here in Petaluma. Today I only had time for a quick lunch so I asked for some Italian sausage with polenta...it was spectacular! ☆☆☆☆☆
First time being at this restaurant! My friend highly suggested it so we came upon their opening In the morning on a weekday. It quickly filled up with many people. I could tell this is a popular place! Service was exceptional! Food was presented beautifully, well prepared, bursting with flavor!🍒
It was only a few minutes walk from the parking structure to the restaurant. At the seat outdoor, you could enjoy the breeze and the view of the river.
We really enjoyed the appetizers and our dishes. It’s one of the Italian restaurants that I would like to come back again. However, I personally would not recommend the dessert because it was the only point that disappointed us (too much brown sugar for the crème brûlée). Other than dessert, everything was great!
We live 2 miles away from the restaurant and for a variety of reasons we haven’t eaten here for over a year. We are regretting it today because we had a superb meal last night. Cucina’s reputation is well deserved because there is simply no better (mostly) Italian cuisine around. Truly, you can’t do better, no matter what you order. Don’t even think about any other Italian restaurant. We will be back very soon, and one only partially serious New Year’s resolution is to spend the next year ordering every entree.

Favorite restaurant in Petaluma for so many of us. We go here for every occasion we can (and just to create a memory). The food has never faltered over the years and the location is comfortable for everyone. The seafood selection is always fresh and a great alternative for a lighter meal. The gnocchi has become a staple as an appetizer for the table.
