15 Best Italian Restaurants in Walnut Creek

“The bartenders and waitstaff are really friendly and attentive. I was in Italy for 5 weeks and my family there did not allow me to eat anything but Italian food, so I'm super picky :) I had the Polpo (Grilled Octopus) appetizer and Cacio e Pepe and it was wonderful and the panna cotta with cherries was divine! I can't wait to try the Amatriciana next time!“

“Decent Buffalo wings. Can order ahead for takeout.“

“We strongly recommend Montecatini Restaurant in Walnut Creek, California. It's how the Host greets you immediately upon your arrival He is very kind, seats you without hesitation and the presentation is on point. It fills up right away after 6:30 p.m. and reservations are encouraged. A party of 6-8 or 4 to a table works fine. It's quaint spacing, but comfortable. The desserts ? are amazing, be careful. Most entrees are plentiful, salads are nice, and cocktails at your service. Get going and enjoy!“

“Fabulous Food, Drinks and Ambiance! Love this place!!! Five Stars!!!“

“Wonderful staff, food is fresh and delicious. Consistent quality and warmth of environment. - Don Dikun“

“Service was excellent. Quality of food was very good. We had Lasagna, Salmon and Pizza. All three dishes were very well prepared and quite tasty. For an Italian restaurant, I am surprised that they do not provide bread for the table or with any of the dishes!! Almost all Italian restaurants provide bread for the table and replenish as needed. We had to order and pay for bread.“

“The food was incredible. I wanted to order almost everything on the menu. So will have to come back at least couple more times to try everything to look good and we couldn’t order in one night. Our old fashion cocktail and blackberry Mojito were perfect. And I can’t say enough about considerate, professional service.“

“Great Lunch Menu Specials!!!“

“Pizza was super good and the spaghetti with meat sauce was also good and the garlic bread was delicious the live band was nice waited ten minutes to be seated are waitress was two different people and the bill was fairly priced I will definitely be going back“

“Pizzas are so yummy! People who works here are so friendly! Tired first time and loved it! We ordered half and half (Combo and Margarita mix)p.s. they also have great beer ? options. (hazy ipa is strongly recommended)Thank you panCoast Pizza! ?Parking: They have free parking options specifically allocated to panCoast pizza. It's limited but not hard to find spot.“

“Old school Italian! The entire team was so friendly and attentive. Plenty of vegetarian options and everything was delicious. Our daughter had the ravioli and finished the half order. My wife had the pesto spaghetti and loved it. I tried the linguini with house made sausage. It was all delicious. I had the full order and probably would have been fine with the half order it was so much food! They also brought out two kinds of bread and butter before and with the meal. The desserts all looked amazing but we had to try the profiteroles and it was amazing! We will be back to try more!“

“Tuna Antipasta Artichoke Torta Hot meatballs and sausage in sauce Pork & Beef Enchiladas Choc. Chip Canoli’s“

“The food here is very good! We ordered a wood fired oven pizza and carbonara. The pizza we ordered was absolutely delicious! Would get it again. The carbonara however is not carbonara, rather more of a fettuccine alfredo with sliced pancetta (but it looked like thin sliced bacon). Do not misunderstand me, it was delicious and I would buy it again. Hands down the best pancetta fettuccine alfredo I've ever had! But when I saw carbonara on the menu, I had my heart set on carbonara. I always hold my breath in the US when I order carbonara though, because the only place I've ever had truly made mouth watering carbonara is either when my Italian in-laws make it or when we travel to Italy. Do not miss this place when you're in the area. We lived near it for 3 years and never went. Now that we don't live close by, when we are in the area, will definitely be going back!“

“Had a great meal, Chicken Parm was on point! Kid had Shrimp Pomodoro and loved it! The Peach hard lemonade was delicious!!“

“Charles was great! We will be back.“
