CIBO Rustico Pizzeria

The restaurant was a delight from the moment we walked through the door, it felt like we were in a pizzeria in Italy. The charming owner Ray was part of the amazing experience. We were only sat for a few minutes when he brought my daughter and some wine. The pizzas were out of this world. We had one with sausage and pepperoni and the other was devine was vegetarian with truffle oil, it was phenomenal. Everything about this restaurant was superb. The staff were great even though we had a grouchy 11 year old with us. The pizza even turned her frown upside down. If you happen to be in Santa Rosa and you want a slice of heaven I mean pizza, this is the place for you.

Had a very pleasant dining experience, went for lunch and sat outside on a beautiful day. Ordered the bruschetta and artichoke fritelle for appetizers, both were superb. The tomatoes in the bruschetta were juicy and delicious. The fritelle had great flavor, they came with a dipping sauce that honestly wasn’t even necessary because they were so good on their own. Main course was the Francesca pizza. The Buffalo mozzarella was easily distinguishable and tasty, there may have been a little too much arugula but it wasn’t a problem. Will definitely eat here again, love the ambiance, food and location.

Went here for dinner Friday evening with my fiancé. Were given menus and told we could sit where ever we wanted. It took 20 minutes waiting in the 85 degree weather and being 37 weeks pregnant, for the waitress to come and greet us, when she came, we didn’t even have water but we’re expected to order right away. The food was not good. I had cheese ravioli with pesto, it was so oily you cloud hardly eat it. My finance had the spaghetti, which also was not good, very plain. This big party came in a little after us and were greeted with smiles and wine right away, full attention from all staff. It was a very unsettling experience. We had to go and ask for our check because we were not checked on one time. We will not be back.

Super friendly service and great food!! We really liked the outdoor patio seating. Loved the green salad, margarita pizza, and aperol spritz.

Service was terrible. 1 person got there food 30 min & another 15 before the rest of the table. Wait staff gave people the wrong plates. One of the people got something they didn’t order but didn’t want to wait for what he ordered. Bread sticks came out with the dinner instead of with the appetizers. Cheese didn’t even cover the whole top of the pizza. Sauce was bulk metallic can sauce not marinara. Gnocchi was store bought pre-made. It was super salty and you get 12-15 balls for $18. Mushy & smells, tastes terrible. The place wasn’t even packed. No excuse for the awful service. I have no clue why this place has such good reviews. We had a party of 6 so 20% tip was included. Normally I might even tip more than 20% but I don’t think I would have left anything. Waitress never checked to see how the food was. We had one order to go and they charged us for it and didn’t make it. Then they tied to tell us that they didn’t charge for it. We said that’s fine but we want the food someone is waiting for the food. Upon looking at the bill it was on there. All in all the the whole night was 3.5 hours of frustration with subpar food.

The first time my friend had the "star" pizza, she loved it, so she brought me along for her second visit. The second time, however, the "star" pizza was not as good . . . my friend was pretty disappointed. WARNING! Look carefully at your receipts! Their "suggested" tip amounts include tipping on the TAX. What a bunch of unethical cheaters.

I thought this was good but not great. Nice old-school homey atmosphere. I dined on a Friday night, and they were very busy and very understaffed. The two servers looked they they were 14 or 15. I pointed to something on the menu and asked her what that was, and she looked me in the eye and said "honestly, I have no idea." My pizza was good but I thought that the crust was a little gummy in the middle, for my taste. I did like my zin-- good wine, heavy pour, great value. Not a Sonoma County dining experience, just a pretty good local spot.

Bruschetta was a joke; chopped tomatoes on a slightly toasted slice of bread. No salt, pepper, or any spices; no basil even though it is mentioned on the menu in the ingredients. Bread is soggy 🤮. Star pizza is opposite to what rustic pizza is. Dough and Italian sausage tastes like taken straight from Dominos; ketchup in place of tomato sauce. Left half of the pizza unfinished. The staff looks stoned. It is hard to believe it is the highest rated pizza place in town.

Lots of good eats and much attentive service reminds me of my visit to Italy....very much like visiting family

Wanted to give this place one last try. -Service - very slow, inattentive -wait time - forever to get our food - taste - pizza dough is so bland now, not sure what happened to the amazing pizza I had from this place Will I return - no with 2 poor experiences, do not even want to do a to go order.

Food was awesome. Great Italian. Awesome brick fired pizza. Authentic caprese. Bolognese w/ polenta and meatballs with marinara were awesome. Cute patio. Good wine. Reasonable price. Happy hour and house specials available 5-6.

Outstanding pizza. Sat with a breeze from outside on a 100 degree day that felt wonderful. The pizza was delicious.

Got take out. A margherita pizza missing basil (got home opened the box and none added). The sauce and dough had next to no flavor. Like making bread with no aging, thick so it was both dry and doughy. Also La Havana. Same dry, thick doughy crust but thankfully some flavor from all the toppings. Lastly meatballs which were fine. All on all 76$ for very middle of the road. From the reviews I've read afterwards it seems quality has been in decline. I'm sure people enjoy this place but we'll move on.

Cute spot with great pizza and a friendly operator owner... Love the outside seating. If you're looking for Neapolitan pizza, this is the place to go...

We are not local to the area so we just Googled pizza place and this place came up. We walked in and the place a bit busy but nothing too crazy, we got a small awkward table that was right in front of the door. It took a good long while for someone to take our order. Once we placed our order, it took forever for just two pizzas to come out. The place was pretty cleared up from the rush. Once the pizza came out it was very tasty. Thicker than we had expected but the flavor was delicious. Service was not the best, but the food made up for it.

Lovely restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining service. Pizza was fantastic and very flavorful. And the chocolate mousse was exquisite. A wonderful treat! Definitely recommend!

My fiancé and I absolutely love this place! So when we were thinking of a place to have our daughters baptism lunch, we reached out and Sophia, their Executive Assistant, was such a delight to work with. Sophia immediately helped us book the party of over 20+ guests, she helped us setup a pre-order menu and made great suggestions for options that our entire party would enjoy. The day of the lunch everyone was so welcoming and accommodating, I am very appreciative and would recommend Rustico for anyone looking for something sweet and intimate.

Excellent food, service and ambiance is what you will enjoy here. Love Cibo's real Italian comfort.

We have been here twice. The food is inventive while still being traditional. Ingredients are topnotch, fresh, cooked and served with passion for the food. Staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. I believe it's the owner who stops at each table, offering tastings of wine and inquiring about our experience. Although noisy, CIBO's feels like home. So glad we found this little out of the way gem.

Picked up a Margherita pizza to go for the first time from this place. I was craving Diavola's pizza but live in Santa Rosa, so I decided to give this spot a try since the photos and reviews looked good. Unfortunately, the pizza was just really bland :/ (so bland I felt the need to leave a review). Both the dough and sauce lacked flavor. It looked great visually, so my boyfriend and I kept trying it to see if it would get better, but it stayed the same (no surprise there). On a positive note, the ambiance in the restaurant looked super cute, and the customer service was great when we picked up the pizza. Honestly, if it was a blind taste test, I would have chosen a DiGiorno frozen pizza from the grocery store over this. I wanted to give one star, but my boyfriend mentioned the good customer service and ambiance, which is why we gave two stars. If it were based solely on taste, though, I would have given it just one star. I'm not trying to be rude to the establishment, but if I had read a review like this beforehand, I would've saved my time and money by choosing a different place.

Sep 2023 3.5 I'd say. Came in for a date night. The decor has changed a lot and an addition of outdoor seating as well. Noise can be a little rough depending on where you're at inside. Service was friendly, and helpful with any questions. It was pretty busy as the night went on, and check ins and water refills infrequent. We had gotten the roasted seasonal veggies and breadsticks to share along with a bottle of the Colagrossi vino rosso. My partner ordered the veal canneloni and I got the affinare truffle veggie pizza. My partner liked the canneloni. It was cooked well and the cheese was gooey throughout. The red sauce added a nice richness to it that wasn't too tart. The crust for the pizza had good bite and was nice and chewy though a bit plain. The parmesan sauce worked well bringing things together. The roasted veggies were not my cup of tea though. They tasted plain and definitely needed seasoning. And desserts of course with chocolate mousse and the nonna zepole. The mousse was simple and good. I like the hazelnut in the mix. The nonna zepole was warm and tasty though I wanted something to dip it in or like a fruit compote to compliment. Still pretty good overall for what we had.

Went for Sonoma County Restaurant Week Dinner Food - 5/5. Caprese was fresh and I liked the addition of the arugula for its peppery finish. Big chunks of salt gave it a sharp taste and the balsamic added a sour flavor with a hint of sweetness. Caesar salad was loaded with aged parmesan, adding a huge level of umami to contrast the light, crunchy romaine. Cibo star was very rich, being loaded with different meats and plenty of cheese. The dough had a good chew on them and the star shaped stuffed crust was fun to eat, reminding me of a cheese calzone. The rich flavor did get overwhelming, but having a marinara sauce as a dip helped balance it out. Rack of lamb had a delicious marinade that gave it a distinct flavor of balsamic. It was a little overcooked, being on the medium well side of doneness, but the marinade kept the lamb tender. Asparagus had a nice bite and the aged parmesan added a savory flavor. Zeppole were fantastic! Each piece was fried well having a crispy and chewy texture. The sauces were decadent and sweet with the chocolate being my favorite. Sweetness level was just right to pair with the fried items. Service - 5/5. Service was friendly and professional to the end. We came closer to closing time and our dessert came out after close. Out of respect for their time, we took it to go after a few bites but we never felt rushed from the staff. Value - 5/5. The restaurant week special was three courses for $35. The options showcased their menu items but also included things that aren't on their regular menu such as the lamb. Although delicious, I felt that only two pieces of lamb was a little small for portions. The sweet perk was fantastic offering a huge plate of zeppole for only $5. Their pizzas are all in the mid $20s range which was fair considering the amount of toppings, cheese and size of the pizza. Absolutely fantastic restaurant week location! Parking - Mall Lot (Free)

Sorry, Cibo, but last night's dinner experience was not so great. I give it one star for "trying" First the parking lot is taken over by a business around the corner. At 5:45pm we had to park around the block on the street. No big deal, really. The Caesar salad was ok, not great. Not much dressing on it at all, and what was on it was overpowered by lemon and dry parmesan cheese. I have had much better. The server delivered the wrong pizza, we had ordered the Francesca which was supposed to have buffalo mozzarella, artichoke hearts, and garlic basil pesto. The predominant flavor was the arugula topping, followed by the garlic basil pesto, and a tiny hint of mozzarella. They really short changed us on the mozzarella and artichoke hearts. I tasted a few slivers of shaved artichoke leaves, that's about it. The crust of the two pizzas was touch and chewy, not in the right way that is! I think they overwork the dough in the kitchen. Or the recipe is just not something I am used to. The restaurant comped us our first "wrong" pizza, but it was so awful, we threw it out at home. Dining room is beyond casual, sort of dumpy. The very nice owner spends most of his time schmoozing with customers he knows instead of watching the kitchen. I won't go back.

Omg!! This is one of the best pizza's I've ever had. I highly recommend this place. The pizza I got was the cibo Star. WOW it was amazing! I will definitely be back.

Well, as a fellow 2nd generation Italian I sincerely wanted to love the place and the food, but alas it is not to be. The room to say the least is casual, so much so it borders on being a dump. Rather forlorn Industrial / Rustic (can that really be a thing?) and really low budget. Look at my photos of the paper menus that are so crumpled and dirty they needed to be thrown in the trash months ago. Complimentary 2 oz pours of Paro pinot noir as a greeting was friendly and sincere. The wine is sold by the glass for $15. I never heard of the wine and looked it up on my phone. Found a place that sells it for $17.61 a bottle. Though on the Paro wines website the charge is $56 / bottle. The Cesar salad was okay. Crisp lettuce. Smooth tasty sauce. Added $3 worth of anchovies with was four. After all the accolades from other Yelper's about how heavenly the pizza is here, mine was barely okay with lots of faults. Firstly, we ordered the Francesca with pesto, artichoke hearts and was served the limone. The mistake was rectified by giving us the Lemon pizza at no charge and then the Francesca was brought to table 10 minutes later. The Lemon pizza was just plain weird. The sharp acid bite from the juice / zest combined with the bitterness of the copious amount of arugula was not a soothing experience. The Francesca though a little more mellow with the cheese and scant amount of pesto sauce, the arugula on this one can be eliminated for a more pleasing pizza. My major complaint though for both pizzas is that the dough is overworked which makes it overly leather like, dense which is hard to bite, chew and swallow. Barbara & I brought home the 40% of pizza that we didn't eat here. This morning I threw away the arugula, added slices of salted cherry tomatoes, painted on olive oil, dusted on some sea slat and put it in my air fryer for 5 minutes. Which greatly improved the flavor and made the dough more crunchy which is a small improvement over leather. After this little experiment with so-so results the rest of the pizza is in the trash bin. We came here because our first choice was to eat pizza at L'oro di Napoli downtown Santa Rosa. (Arguably, the best pizza in town), But the wood fired oven there was broken. No pizza being made. So we were glad to finally visit Cibo. We love the D'Argenzio family wines which are made across the parking lot, been drinking them for years. But the pizza not so much. Won't return.

Wow! The pizza was delicious. It was a slow day, but the service was top-notch and friendly. The quality of everything was excellent. We'll definitely be coming back whenever we're in this part of the world!

I'm a huge pizza fan and very picky when it comes to pizza. This place hit every single Schick mark of mine. Will definitely be returning!

Since last year we visited a few more times because the food is good. Our most recent visit was the last straw. We thought the service was on top of it when the server set up a table special since the restaurant was packed. Unfortunately, it wasn't like that. We were given menus that have seen better days. One menu had scratch outs and the other had sauce or something smeared on it. When another server came out to take our order they were out of so many items and it was only 645p. 3 appetizers and a pasta dish. We ordered 2 alcohol drinks, breadsticks and the Cibo Star pizza. Our pizza was brought to us with not even an option of parm cheese or another round. Throughout our visit a few servers walked by us, looked at us but not one time did they check up on us. The server who delivered the pizza told us our breadsticks were late and we canceled the order. Then towards the end of our meal she came out with them. We told her we had canceled the order because they were so late. She became annoyed and took them away. Again no one asked if things were good or needed more to drink. We finally asked for parm cheese. The pizza was really good. It has a lot of flavor. We felt like the stepchildren in the corner.

Went for restaurant week, it seem they were not ready for the groups came right when they opened. Service was fine but the food took a while to come. The lunch special came with a choice of appetizer/salad and choice of main entree. The appetizers were great. But the main entrees were very disappointing. PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED ASPARAGUS - tasty and enjoyed the warm breadsticks 9/10 BRUSCHETTA - pretty good bruschetta light and good flavor 8/10 BOLOGNESE GNOCCHI - Bare bones, there were 4 pieces of gnocchi... the presentation left much to be desired, looked like someone already ate half of it. 2/10 MARINARA SPAGHETTI - the sauce was a bit sour. Very plain, no black pepper or basil. 4/10 The lunch special was $15 per person. For my wife and I lunch total $40 including tax and tip.

I like this place. The ambiance is a little loud, but can still be intimate, and romantic. -well in my opinion. I have celebrated night outs alone with the hubby. Dates with my kids, and my mother's birthday party. They are so accommodating. The food is amazing. My favorite appetizer is the deep fried squash blooms stuffed with cheese. My to go pizza is the cibo star. It just tastes so fresh! The gnocchi is delicious as well!! I just love this place.

Extremely small portions and ran up the tab to 85$ For some Appetizers (meat balls), pasta with chicken, Cesar Salad and 2 drinks. Expensive with super small portions . STAY AWAY!

We had been here before with friends and had great food and service. The owner was present on that occasion. Unfortunately, this time was the opposite. The only attention from the wait staff was they took our order and gave us the bill. They brought one entree 15 minutes before the second entree. The waitress never came over during our meal to see if we needed any more water, drinks, or anything else. The staff was just hanging around the front. I did not see them wait on any of the other tables. The gnocchi was good but small portions and the eggplant parmigiana was muchy. We were very disappointed and will not return.​

Our friends were raving about this place so we decided to stop for dinner. This place does NOT disappoint, we ordered the Bruschetta & Bread Sticks to start. The bruschetta was crispy & soooo flavorful, probably the best I've had! The breadsticks were too good, the plate was empty before I could even snap a pic. We ordered 4 different pizzas, with my absolute favorite being the classic pepperoni. I of course, could not pass up on dessert! I ordered the chocolate mousse, super decadent & tasted just like a Ferrero Rocher. Overall excellent food & excellent service! Definitely recommend this pl

My husband and I have been here a few times but it's been quite a while. On Friday, he was craving pizza and I wanted something a little different. After perusing Cibo Rustico's menu, we decided this was the place. The restaurant was busy and bustling. We didn't have a reservation but were able to snag a small table. We ordered a bottle of D'Argenzio's (who owns Cibo and shares a parking lot) Zinfandel, which was devine. We got the artichoke fritelle as an appetizer and the Cibo Star pizza. The artichoke fritelle were small, breaded artichoke fritters stuffed with Boursin cheese. They came with this amazing, creamy dipping sauce. Super good. The Cibo Star pizza is an 8-pointed star shaped pizza with cheese-stuffed crust, marinara, buffalo mozzarella, prosciutto, sausage, basil, and Parmesan. That pizza was absolutely delicious. We had a great experience. Service is always very friendly and we were even given a small sampling of one of their white wines for free. Great atmosphere, I ended up speaking with another guest at length as she walked her grand baby around the restaurant, which was really nice. 100% recommend. Can't wait to go back.

I have been seeing posts about this spot for years and until last weekend I've never made it happen. We decided to have date night here on Saturday evening. We arrived early in the evening, about 6pm and there was enough room for them to seat us right away which was great! The owners are also connected to D'Argenzio, which was a fun fact for me to learn. I didn't realize the businesses are connected. I ordered a glass of the Sangiovese and Ray, the owner, brought us a few other tasters to try which was lovely. Italian is tough for me because of the whole celiac thing, sort of puts a bummer on gluten full dishes. We wanted the grilled prawns but they were out so we got the prosciutto wrapped asparagus instead which didn't disappoint. Toasted beautifully in the pizza oven the prosciutto gets crispy on the edges and stays moist in the wrapped stalk. Served over a couple of breadsticks which my guy enjoyed. We split a pizza, gluten free. We ordered the roasted mushrooms and onion on 1/2 and the Luciano on the second 1/2. Flavor combos were great! Crust was fine; I just miss what gluten does to baked goods. It really is magical and makes things so delicious that gluten free flour and doughs just can't do. So frustrating. It's no one's fault but the magic of gluten. Texture was fine; some chew which is a blessing for gluten free but in parts that ware more charred it was a little brittle. I took a bite out of the breadstick and that dough was delicious! I asked, same dough as the regular crust - so those eating all the gluten will have nothing but chewy delicious pizza crust to devour. I liked the spot; service was friendly, food was tasty, location is great next to a tap room, winery tasting room too. Easy parking.

Our Friend Steve Puleo was singing which is always a special treat. The ravioli and the asparagus wrapped in prosciutto was delicious. Just a lovely evening.

We came in because we were intrigued by the star pizza. We left "meh", feeling disappointed in the quality of service and quality of food. Starting with the service / first impressions, it definitely left a lot to be desired. We walked in, clearly looking to get seated. There were 2 employees near the entrance cleaning the menus, but nobody greeted us for a few minutes. One finally asked "what can we do for you". And at the end of our dinner, no thank you's or good-byes. Overall verrrry so-so. Onto the food. We got three items: * Arugula salad - just a bed of arugula with Parmesan sprinkles and 4 slices of prosciutto on top... would pass on this next time. * Star Pizza - this is what drew us into this restaurant! Looked really unique, but warning that you should only get this if you really really LOVE mozz. The pizza itself was just okay (like a sausage pizza you'll get anywhere else). The crust was good though - chewy, doughy, and the right level of crispy. * Mushroom ravioli - very meh. Lacking presentation and texture. Would pass on this again as well. The ambiance is eclectic vintage with some open renovation pending (or maybe that's the desired look). There is a decent outdoor seating area and big shared parking lot.

Hinging between a 3 and 4,so going with a 4 since I thinkost of the drawbacks were temporary issues. First of which they booked two parties of 20 on a Friday night, and for context, they probably have a capacity of 60. Space was tight, service slow, and everyone seemed a bit stressed out. Cute interior, but bad acoustics. The menu on the website wasn't exactly like the menu in the restaurant. I was looking forward to trying a veal and spinach shell pasta, but it looked like it got replaced by an osso buco ravioli which piqued our interested. Our server assured us it was very good, but then said they hadn't actually had it, and said they thought it was "baby cow", which was certainly one of the interactions of all time. We ended up getting the breadsticks, Ceasar with anchovies, and the Luciano pizza. You get a truck load of fresh and hot breadsticks that have an oil/garlic/parmasean mixture on top. I thought they were good but not great and the mixture was surprisingly bland. The salad was good, but the anchovies are like the typical black canned ones you get at a pizza parlor, heavy on the brine, and not the white ones you'd expect on a Ceasar. That tracks since they really are a pizza place and it isn't like Ceasar is an Italian staple like some assume. The Luciano pizza was absolutely fantastic and the calabrian chiles were actually spicy and not "restaurant spicy". We immediately said we'd be coming back for that alone. Overall, I think we hit them on a bad night, but we could tell the potential is there and will likely try them again for take out. We still want to try the pastas which we saw generous servings of going around.

The food here was amazing. The best thing we had was the cibo star pizza which was the best pizza I've ever had. The team wasn't sure if they had space for us but found a way to seat our large party and the management checked on us throughout the night, even giving special attention to our kids with a treat at the end. You've got to try this place!

This is our favorite restaurant. We love the food, hospitality, staff, and the owner. You will not be disappointed

Picked up a pesto sausage mushroom pizza to enjoy after winery visits and enjoyed it. They have quite a few wood fire pizza options on the menu. Service was friendly and pick up was a breeze. The owners also have a winery across the street, named D'Argenzio which we have visited before and enjoyed.

love the food! love it when steve puleo sings!!! the owner hangs out too. the meals are delicious! and the wine is excellent!

Went with some friends for dinner. The tables are now a bit too crowded. My back was against the persons back at the next table. Not very comfortable. People kept bumping me trying to go through. The food is pretty good. They don't have enough servers, so service is slow at best. It is VERY loud. Hard to speak across the table.

I am a vegetarian and relatively new to Santa Rosa. One of our friends highly recommended Cibo Rustico Pizzeria. We made booking the previous day and arrived before time on the destined day. We were warmly welcomed by the staff and seated at a nice cosy central table for 3. The servers were prompt and friendly. We Ordered Aranchini & Artichoke Fritelles for appetisers along with Lagers and Peronis from the Tap, followed by a Zucchini Squash 12" Pizza. Everything tasted very well. A group party/get together was taking place at the next table, the host (an elderly gentleman) thinking we are tourists, walked up to us and offered red wine. It was such a welcoming gesture & the wine was one of the best tasting I have had so far (I am not a wine drinker, usually). Loved our evening. Would recommend the place for sure, for a lively evening to be spent having a delicious & sumptuous Italian meal :)

I went to Cibo for the first time last night and it felt like I stepped into someone's home for a family dinner. Everyone was so nice, the owner came over to greet us and there was just a buzz of energy and laughter. I had the Bolognese Penne, which was delicious. I'm Looking forward to going back again for a pizza. Will definitely come back to introduce more friends and family to this place.

Moved Next-door and went with a group of friends to try it out. Awesome dough. Great pizza cooked wood fire. One of the owners I assume gave out wine samples midway through service. Awesome atmosphere and enjoyed it. I make my own dough and have had a wood fired oven but couldn't bring it with me to our new apartment, this is a great replacement. Loved dining here.

Omgeeee.. the best pizzare eva! We loved Ray and the complimentary WINE. I wish I would've known the next neighboring winery was family bizz.. we brought our own wine (corkage fee) but Ray blessed us with a few pours and keep in mine they give a sample when you walk in... so we got mas Pepperoni Margarita Meatssss Caprese The artichoke dip Complimentary Sorbet.. for the Kids (my kid turned me 4 Highly recommended... I'll be back

Food was okay, ... my wife ordered the pesto ravioli. It came, when it came, smothered in pesto sauce. This is NOT the proper way to serve pesto. Also, the pesto was spinach based, not Basel based. WTH!! I ordered the pasta with bolognese. It came covered in mozzarella cheese. In fact, there was more cheese than pasta. Again, WTH!! With both, what are they trying to hide? Or, how much do they really think they're saving? Then, there was the service. UNBELIEVABLY SLOW. I actually had to go up to the counter twice, just to see what the hell was going on.

Love this restaurant. Always warm welcome from owner that always pours a complimentary glass of wine when arriving. Great staff and great food. Very cozy and nice place for a date or family.

Friendly staff and a nice enough little patio with lots of parking. In terms of the food, everything was a little heavy-handed for our tastes. The meatballs were decent and the marinara sauce was good. We ordered the artichoke bites which were more cheese and breading than artichoke - it's a fun enough little bite but we were looking for more of an artichoke dish/flavor and you don't need more than 1 or 2 (comes as a plate of 8 and there were only two of us). For our pizza, we ordered the Cibo Star which turned out to be the wrong move for us. The crust is quite thick and doughy, versus most of their pizzas which are thinner crust. It's quite topping heavy and loaded with sausage which is nice, but the cheesy crust is not particularly flavorful. The whole thing ends up feeling pretty dense and salty, but not particularly balanced or flavorful.

This food was incredible- we were taking about it for a few days afterward. You NEED to try that stuffed crust. 10/10 Drinks were great, apps were tasty and that dessert was the perfect finisher.

Love this place; great family run atmosphere & interesting toppings on a crispy thin crust. Love seeing the real wood fired oven too.

The Cibo star pizza is a MUST TRY in Santa Rosa. The service staff was incredibly friendly, and the ambiance was perfect for a Saturday evening. Highly recommend :)

Must've been an off night. Haven't had this bad of service anywhere in a while. Staff apologized and gave us our kids food and appetizer that we never got. Got home and even those were wrong.

We really wanted to like this place and it appears the locals who come there to listen to accordion music and dance around with the guitarist dominating the small dining room are there for that on a Saturday night. My wife and I were there for rustic Italian food after a day hitting wineries. The fellow who sat us - seemed like an owner - was nice enough given the noise and chaos he sat us next to. We got a small pour of a red wine as we ordered. I'm summary the food was very bland and underwhelming to be honest. The meatball starter was probably the highlight of our meh meal. The mushroom ravioli had zero flavor and were oddly sitting in a pool of gray water. We had one and left them. The mushroom pizza reportedly was cooked in a wood oven yet the pie lacked any evidence of wood. The dough was flabby and undercooked and it was swimming in too much cheese with essentially button mushrooms diced on top. Then they doused it with truffle oil. Yuck. We asked for hot peppers and water refills that never arrived. Perhaps the two piece band packing up all around us blocked our waitresses view ? Most of our meal remained untouched - no one noticed, as we boxed it up and left in our hotel room. Wasted $50+ on what was a very pedestrian attempt at rustic Italian classics. Perhaps this passes for good for their regulars and corkage is cheap - so maybe we missed the point - grab a starter and bring a bottle and watch the lady on the accordion with the dancing guitar player ! They seemed to be having fun. I came to eat dinner sadly. Pass unless your there for the show. Sorry.

In Ray's restaurant, you are family and his food is top notch. Related to the DeArgenzio winery, this is a marriage of class and quality unmatched in the area. I highly recommend both for beautiful food and wine in a relaxing atmosphere.
