Cucino is a reliable, pleasant and great Italian meal experience. Excellent service, wine, cocktails, and food. I particularly enjoyed the lamb loin chops. We will be back often.

Had a friend reunion here the other day and we ALL raved about our experience! OMG. As my hubs said, "where on earth do you have waiters in coat and tie serving you these days?!" In the US?! LOL The food was spectacular- soup, salads, pastas- all hand made and served so fast we were stunned. Then dessert- whoa. Tiramisu, panne cotta, etc. All wait staff are top notch, the atmosphere is lovely- warm wood accents and great lighting. We had a blast! Thank you so much, Cucina Paradiso!!

Really great atmosphere and food. The wait staff was attentive, but not intrusive. We enjoyed it and will be back when we visit the Petaluma area again.

I have been to Cucina Paradiso multiple times now and it fails to disappoint. The food is fantastic and the service is good. It feels upscale and classy. This visit I had the polenta special. I loved it!!! The dish bursted with flavor. It was comforting for the rainy day that it was. Lunchtime was busy and the ambiance was inviting. I highly recommend this true italian restaurant in downtown Petaluma.

Cucina Paradiso has always been a Petaluma classic always consistent in their fresh local ingredients and the owner always attentive and friendly.

I wish I could give 10 stars plus a Michelin. This is my 2nd review here. I love this place if thats not clear and did already before my return visit the other night. I actually made these reservations immediately after I posted my last review, I was planning a surprise junket on the fly for a very special Lady and wasn't sure what time I would get there so I made the reservations for 9pm and time was tight. By the time we got checked in we were not going to make it on time and I called ahead to advise them. By the time we got there, our table was already set and in somewhat romantic fashion, not over the top but clear that it was done extra nice. Manny was our server and as every server I have had there, exceptional is a word that doesn't reach high enough! His knowledge of the menu and the Specials, as well his oral presentation was stellar. The Meal - We each ordered one of the Specials. One of which had a locally sourced ingredient with a detailed backstory that we enjoyed. The night was honestly so perfect and magical, to say anything more would never come close to justice. Great Place to Fall in Love

wonderful Italian restaurant. This is our first time traveling north of San Francisco and staying in Petaluma. Quick search on Yelp led us to Cucina Paradiso. We called ahead to make a reservation and glad we did, they remained consistently busy for a Thursday night. We ordered two entrees from the specials menu and two items from the standard menu. the bread served with olive oil and olives was really fresh and delicious. All the dishes were great. The girls had two types of pasta dishes, sauce, chicken and veggies were so fresh and flavorful. I ordered the seafood risotto and really enjoyed it. Risotto was cooked perfectly, not overdone and the seafood was fresh. My wife ordered a tuna steak at medium rare, turned out great. The staff were extremely friendly, prompt on refills and the restaurant was very clean and just a really enjoyable experience. Huge selection of wines. The next time we are in the area, we will be coming back for sure.

I have had a lot of good meals at Cucina Paradiso. Last night my wife and went in for an early dinner. I had a dozen oysters, not cheap, but oh so good with a light mignonette with the oysters and Meyer lemon slices to add more. Great! My wife and I shared the Insalata a la Casa mixed greens with a balsamic vinaigrette. Yummy! She had the crab fusili special and a glass of sauvignon blanc. I had the grilled swordfish special. I loved the light sauce of olive oil, Meyer lemon juice and Italian parsley. The swordfish was moist and tender, not like the dry and tough ones that I've had before that used to keep me away. Juan, our server was great as usual and pitched us on the special dessert a chocolate cake with raspberry sauce and some vanilla gelato. Four for four on appetizer, salad, main, and dessert. I thought I'd died and gone to culinary heaven!
