    I’ve been going to Central Market for years and the Chef-owner has always greeted me and his customers when they arrive . The cuisine is always farm fresh to the table, always consistent which is why Central Market has been in Petaluma over 20 years . Central market doesn’t have a bar but their small aperitif cocktails are always yummy. The wine list is excellent. I recommend this restaurant.

    Food was decent, but a little overpriced. There was only 3 of us but we were charged a mandatory 20% tip. Also, we had 3 spiders run across our table, and then we had to ask to be moved to a new table. I don’t think I would recommend.

    The place was nice, the service was great but the food wasn’t very good. Thanksgiving turkey was too dry. It was way overpriced.

    Love Central Market! I have loads of food allergies, everyone there is amazing and willing to work with my dietary restrictions. Lupe, the hostess, was very pleasant and David, our server, was excellent. This is our go to favorite place.

    I always love their food but felt the pasta wasn’t Al dente as usual. I didn’t say anything. House white was delicious! And macarons too.

    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.

    Once again a fantastic meal under the brilliant talented chef/owner Tony! The striped Bass was delectable with a delicious sauce that went perfectly with a side order of roasted vegetable! Will be back very soon!
