The Mangia Tutto

"Exceptional Italian dinner tonight at this suprising spot. The olio compote was a savory starter bread basket that was surpassed by the fresh, bright bruscetta. Having enjoyed the Muir Woods a nice meal began with both the grilled calamari (ragalu) salad that was tender and toothsome. The French onion soup was hearty & beefy in taste & topped with a bubbled cheese crouton. Onto the mains. This Friday saw large perfectly crusted scallops in a light red sauce that lit the sweet savory palate tonight. The homemade tagliatell was light and al dente, surrounded by clams Ala vignole. Sweet - flavourful. No room for the bread pudding or the Taramisu yet wound down with the prescriptive digestivo Sambuca con mosca. Will look forward to exploring the rest of the menu. Mielle Gratzi Mangia Tutto!"

"I will never eat here again... had two experiences dinning at this restaurant. The first was mediocre, the second was horrendous. The service was horrible. The wait staff spilled food all over one of our members personal belongings. I asked for silverware to replace the ones the waiter touched after picking up dirty items from our table, never received them. I asked for a refill on my drink twice, never received it. I would not call this Italian food. The chicken Saltimbocca was extremely dry and had a disgusting flavor like the prosciutto was over cooked. I will be advising my association to set up our meetings at a different restaurant. We have way better Italian restaurants in Petaluma and throughout Sonoma County. Go somewhere else ... do not eat at this restaurant."

"I traveled to Petaluma, California to visit my son for Christmas. I wanted to take him somewhere nice for a Christmas dinner. I personally called various restaurants to see if they were open. The person I spoke to at Mangia Tutto told me they were closed on Christmas day but were open on Christmas eve. I made my reservation online and received several confirmations for my party of 3 at 4:30 pm. When we arrived for our dinner, the door was locked and they were closed."

"Excellent, varied menu. Everyone's foods were delicious. Everyone's wines were delicious. Service was excellent. Ambiance was very pleasant. We met the chef who studied his craft in Southern Italy. Online reservations are available :-) ** Don't let the location fool you; and the view from the parking lot does not reveal what a nice, attractive dining area this restaurant has."

"Fantastic lunch option mid week. Fair pricing for excellent handmade pasta dishes. Love the Gnocchi and Spaghetti Carbonara."
