They say that the first two years are a sure sign of the sucess of a restaurant. I am sad to see that Odyssey didn’t make the cut. Perhaps location and better handling of service staff for your next time around? Best of luck to you and your staff. I sure will miss your pizza’s. They are delicious!

I rate my experience in a restaurant on a scale from 1-10 and Oddesy always received a 10 in my book. Food, service, and friendly. My most prized evening was the night I took my 6 and 10 year old granddaughters. We dressed up and dined on Oddesy’s great pizza. We felt like we were in Italy, and were treated like royalty.
This restaurant will be truly missed.

I agree with the person who suggested a better front of the house staff. We tried not two, but THREE times and that Fabiano character treated us like dirt. We haven’t been back since last summer.
Sorry Chef Rudy. But your demise is partially due to the people who represented your place. They were awful.
Good luck!

Pardon me Heatehr…But is this guys blaming the fall of his business because of Windsor?
Come on Rudy. I wouldn’t be so fast to burn bridges if I were you. We Sonoma County people have long memories…especially when it comes to our food and wine.
Honest opinion, your food was good at times and bad others because no one should ever attempt to be the one man machine.
Your front of the house was bad. They were rude. Take this as a learning lesson….

…disregarding much of the pro/con rhetoric and editorial comments,…not Windsor? That’s understandable if the failure truly is attributable to location or its inhabitants. But Rudy, please pause and give thought to letting a business savy partner make business location decisions next time, leaving you to focus on your true strength. Best wishes to you! I didn’t mind spending my money at your place.

I’m utterly depressed that we are loosing one of the best restaurants in Windsor. The food was always consistently good and I thought the service was spot on. It’s a shame that a place like Pattersons can get away with serving piss poor food and have crap service, but still thrive, while a place like Odysseys closes. Thank you Rudy for at least taking a chance on Windsor. Maybe you were ahead of your time and Windsor wasn’t ready for it. Best of luck.

First off, Thank You Rudy, for feeding me during 4 solid weeks of construction you and Fabiano kept it coming to keep me going and kept my interest!
Moving is a nice shot at something much better, man… don’t sweat the BS.
Always a good neighbor, your Za will be missed…
Best always bra, cuz luck has nothing to do with it.
PS- Thanks for the Sausage Stuffer, too bad it had cosco chicken in it…

Lest you all forget. Service is what drives customers to return time and time again. You may forget what you ate, but you never forget whether the service was good or bad.

Glad to see it go; always over rated, the place is too small to allow good service. It could not happen to a ruder place.
