OUR PETALUMA

                        

Some of my "Favorite" Restaurants

Over the years, I have eaten in many different types of Restaurants in Petaluma, around the USA and in Europe.
From "Fast Food" to "Slow Food," there is a time and place for these and all other types.
While I will concentrate on Restaurants here in Petaluma, there will be a special section dedicated to some of my favorite restaurants which I have freqented while traveling with my wife, and friends over the years.
Drop me a note, and I''ll tell you about my FAVORITE restaurant anywhere in the world.  It is located in Ostuni, Italy.

If you dine at any of these recomended Restaurants, please let them know that you heard about them from me, Spence F. Burton, at "Our Petaluma!"
