Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Petaluma

Fantastic experience and great food! Ben at the bar was the best!

I've been dining at Central Market for 15 years. Always a very pleasant experience. Your tastebuds will be dazzled by the handcrafted delights ~ housemate pastas, sausages and pizzas. Good wine selection and great desserts. The staff is courteous, friendly and attentive. At times, the chef will also stop by and check in with customers. Try and get reservations as it's often fully booked.

Fun menu with emphasis on plates to share, creative use of seasonal ingredients and the pita bread is to die for. The Breaking Bread appetizer sampler is a must order. Lamb chops were divine. Our server was friendly, helpful and attentive, but not overly so--made for a delicious, relaxing weekday lunch with girlfriends.

We really enjoyed our dinner at Nopa. Beginning with the bread and butter. All I can say is order it. Next we had the Tortelli which was excellent (not to be missed). We also had the Tagliatelle with the bolognese sauce which was very good. For dessert we had the key lime pie which was good but the ice cream that came for the birthday person was outstanding. Our server who was excellent said it was ginger snap but it didn’t taste like ginger. Best ice cream I’ve ever eaten. Can’t wait to go back for my birthday and have that ice cream.

Group of gals for lunch, good food, good friends.
