trattoria cattaneo

julie and riccardo make me feel like family every time i walk intotrattoriacattaneo. i'm thrilled to have a small and intimate restaurant like it in town. the food is flavorful and filled with a familiarity of my grandma's cooking. julie's always more than willing to accomadate dietary restrictions, and riccardo is always filling my glass. i often eat here alone...that's the sweetness oftrattoriacattaneo.

a great bennett valley jewel!. i walked intotrattoriacattaneo and decided to sit at the bar as i was by myself. riccardo (the owner) asked if i wanted something to drink right away. i ordered a peroni (beer) it was ice cold. he told me the specials & i ordered the seared mahi-mahi topped with salsa verde and polenta on fresh spinach. after a couple minutes riccardo brought me a slice of bruschetta which was delicious! the staff in there was very attentive. about the time i finished my peroni, i was brought my meal. it looked & smelled wonderful. i ordered one more peroni & took my first bite of my meal. it melted in my mouth. wow!! i thoroughly enjoyed it. the service was great and it was great getting a chance to talk to riccardo & julie (the cook). thank you riccardo & julie for a wonderful dinner. i will be back often and will recommend this place to all my friends.

*****.trattoriacattaneo has to be one of the best italian resturants that i have eaten at in the santa rosa area. not only is the food wonderful, but so is the staff. i have tried nurmerous items on the menu and have never tasted something that i haven't loved.

fabulous meal. was treated to a dinner attrattoriacattaneo on friday night.
what a great experience. the seafood salad was incredible and the gnocci with pesto was to die for. the atmosphere was lively, a great family restaurant. service was super, i can't wait to go back.

great food, great wine, great service. i recently moved to bennett valley. my boyfriend and i have made a point of supporting our local businesses in the area. we made our first visit totrattoriacattaneo recently and loved everything about it. great food. great atmosphere. the owners/chef are very attentive and friendly. this is truly a place where you can relax and enjoy a wonderful meal. we will definitely be back!

excellent italian food in bennett valley. we have been accustomed to driving pretty far from home to have a really good italian meal. no more! no matter where you live, make your way totrattoriacattaneo. the eggplant parmesan is to die for, the marinara sauce is divine, as are the homemade pastas, and the service couldn't be better. walk in for your very own "ciao, bella!" and enjoy a great meal.
