28 Best Italian Restaurants near Alamo

“Excellent and delicious food, I can't understand why this place wasn't packed, definitely one of the best Italian restaurants in the area. Roberto and Flavia are hard working and very knowledgeable about the food they cook and serve.I'll be going back real soon.“

“My family and I love Xenia Bistro. The food is tasty and the customer service is A+. (Jordan was our server tonight) I had salmon with risotto and vegetables. The Salmon was fabulous. It was the best I've had in a while, It was grilled to perfection. They changed their menu to offer more options. My fussy eater son had steak, mashed potatoes, and green beans. He ate it all and said it was delicious. My husband had the short ribs and my daughter had the grilled Cod with a Shirley Temple. We will return again and again. Thank you!“

“A pizza is not just a pizza at this restaurant. It's very different and very good. They call it a pinsa... cloud like pizza. Their description is accurate. It's crispy outside and soft inside... and delicious. We ordered 2 pinsas. One has the same name as the restaurant and was soooooo good, very tasty. We enjoyed both. Their octopus appetizer was one of the best I've ever eaten. Simple preparation that allowed the quality ingredients to shine. The octopus was fresh and tender... not chewy. My spouse loved the grilled exterior of the octopus. I was sorry we did not order 2 of them. Salome our server was wonderful. Her suggestions about the food and wine were spot on. Her only mistake was not suggesting that I order my own octopus appetizer... Still we hope she is our server when we return. Our next time will be for dinner in order to enjoy their full menu.“

“So, to begin with. When you see the place from a street, it is not the first choice to swing by, yet when you peek through the window, you'll see an open kitchen with food being cooked nonstop, a hood sign.Inside the place seems a bit crowded, yet you could probably squeeze 8n at the bar if you ask nicely even if you don't have reservation :)And now the food, fantastic italian cusine - the pasta is appropriately aldente, tomato sauce is fantastic, the beef carpaccio blows you away.And in the end you feel guilty if you miss the dessert.I would definitely recommend making a reservation and arrive hungry.Parking in a garage nearby is plenty.“

“Me and my wife come here every single week usually Mondays for their breakfast buffet, and I have never been more blown away. So many choices, the food is always fresh, the service is always amazing, and your food, extremely filling and always served with a smile! We love this place“

“Pizza lately has been amazing!!! The crust is so perfect and fluffy. I've been eating here from hella but took a break for a while. Started ordering again and it's better then before! Shout out to their friendly staff as well! Give it a try they got some other foods too!“

“I found my new local favorite. The pizza here is exceptional. Sauce is tangy but not too sweet. The crust is thin and cooked perfectly. The toppings are fresh and flavorful. And the slices are fat. The deserts are good, tried Sicilian canoli for the first time and enjoy it. The best part about the pizza is that it Isn't greasy. And the bottom of the pizza doesn't get all soggy. I really enjoyed the food. Definitely coming back as it's now one of my top 5 pizza spots“

“Pretty good restaurant in Walnut Creek for some classic Italian dishes. The dining space is clean and gives more of an open family feeling to the place. They do also have a nice bar by the front that is kind of separated from the rest of the dining area. The drinks are a little hit or miss here, though. They do skimp on thr alcohol a little bit here, so make sure you order a more liquor-heavy drink or stick with their selection of wines. The food is great and really delicious. There was nothing that our table did not enjoy eating. They do have changing specials, and I highly recommend trying them. The desserts were also very good. Make sure to try their tiramisu since they do give a good portion of it. Overall a great place to take a date or the family.Dietary restrictions: They are able to serve gluten-free pasta upon request.Parking: There are plenty of parking garages if you want to spend money. Not that much free street parking around, though.Kid-friendliness: Good place to take kids for a nice meal with the family.“

“We've been to Wisegirl twice and had great food both times. We sit in their open "alcove" next to the actual restaurant, which works great for us -- with one exception. Both times, when our food came, we still had no table settings. We had to wait, and in one visit, had to ask twice. They need to bring table settings when they seat you or take your order.“

“Great food, eventually, but we were too stressed out to enjoy it. Four top with reservations for 6 pm seated immediately, yet food didn't arrive for over an hour! The place was packed due to an event across the street at the arts center beginning at 7:30 pm that we had tickets for, so they either overbooked or were short staffed in the kitchen. We'll return, but make reservations for 5 pm next time, or go elsewhere...there are dozens of good options.“

“The service is excellent. I had a ribeye and added grilled zucchini with that. Very good and tender as I had it well done.Others in my party loved the portobello mushroom appetizers.Plenty of parking in the back. Right near freeway for easy access.“

“This place is unequivocally the best. Hands down tastiest pizza around and awesome staff.Vegetarian options: Plenty of unique veggie pizza builds.Parking: Very large lot surrounding the business.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible.“

“Had a Detroit combo and the Frank's buffalo hot wings. Wings were crispy but will not try again. Pizza is the best I have ever had, worth the atrocious wait time. Will do it again as a special treat, our Detroit Pizza and wings fed 4 people.“

“Ordered DoorDash from here a few times. Each time the pasta has been excellent and good value. Since I ordered for pickup all I can say about service is that it's quick and everyone is nice. The ambiance of the place looks great as well.“

“Luna has become our goto for fabulous Italian food. Last night was our 8th visit and we enjoyed the Olive Pesto appetizer with soft warm bread. A Mista salad, the Duck and the Bolognase. The atmosphere was marvelous, the food scrumptious, and the staff really inviting. The owner welcomed us as we arrived and bade good night as we left to walk home.Luna is the best of a neighborhood eatery with 5-star cuisine. Walk or drive, you have to come here!Parking: One way street from Willow Pass.A few outdoor tables in good weather. Seating for about 80 or so in Two's and Four's, but can accommodate larger parties.Wheelchair accessibility: It's a bit tight, but they have always succeded in accommodating our mobility issues with advance notice.“

“What a find! So delicious. So many choices. I had a wonderful tasting and large calamari steak with the best polenta I've ever had, with Al dente vegetables to round out my dinner. Wife had shells with chicken and broccoli, sun dried tomatoes and a creamy garlic and chicken sauce. Grand daughter had a huge linguine and frutti de Mari. After incredible fresh & zinging minestrone soup and spinach with pears salad. Everything says we will return to try more of their marvelous menu items. And so affordable with many choices less than $20!!!“

“We had a lovely, quiet dinner. I started with an appetizer special, calamari in a yummy lemon/butter sauce, followed by the ravioli and prawns. My husband enjoyed the mushroom soup followed by the veal. We shared a tiramisu and a couple of espressos. The piano man, Bob, played a couple of requested songs. Delightful. Our server Nemo, was very professional and didn't rush us. We are the ultimate slow eaters!“

“When visiting this fine Italian restaurant, be sure to order the Sunday gravy. It's basically every type of meat poured over by a delicious Italian red sauce, and then placed on top of a pile of spaghetti. The drinks were also prepared very well. The line is long so call ahead and make a reservation.“

“Pizza and sports bar with some nice Italian dishes. The chef is a wizard with mushrooms. I had the raviolini, mushroom ravioli in a cream sauce with sundried tomatoes. My companion had chicken Marsala and I grabbed his mushrooms. (He doesn't like them so more for me!) The place is popular. Lots of booth and table seating as well as the bar, all full.“

“Recently checked out Bambino's this past week and it was a blast. First off, big ups to Kat behind the bar. She's quick, on point, and really makes sure you're all good. It's like she's everywhere at once but still has time to make your experience personal. Now, the pizza. It's honestly the best I've ever had. The crust? Perfect. The toppings? Fresh and flavorful. It's the kind of pizza you'll crave after you've had it once. So yeah, Bambino's is a solid win. Great service from Kat, amazing pizza, and just a good place to be. Can't wait to go back.“

“The place is always reliable, their hot bread with special sauce was one of a kind, cappacio was good, our waiter was good. Their own label wine was a little disappointing and I ordered the pork chop and was a little too cooked and it became dry. Otherwise, it would have been perfect. With $18 for corkage, I’ll bring my own bottle the next time.“

“This place has the best Italian food around. Service was amazing as well. My only question is why it's usually so empty? I've been there 4-5 times and always only 2-3 other tables. Location in a run down strip mall, decor needs help, but go for the food❤️“

“Had a rare "kid free" date night here. Food was great. I had the pistachio crusted lamb. Brilliant. Wife had the pomodoro with shrimp. We both loved it. Cocktails were great. They had a nice two piece band playing that didn't overwhelm the room but simply enhanced the vibe. Service was impeccable. We will return for another date night for sure!“

“This restaurant is so cute and while we were there, the regulars were coming through after work. The staff is extremely friendly and so accommodating. I forgot to take a pic of the complimentary bread and dip and clam chowder soup (soup of the day). It was so good and perfect with our meal. We've been coming here more often and really enjoy the service and the dishes we've ordered. My husband loves the carbonara with fusilli noodles. I've ordered the linguini pesto and the cheese tortellini. Those are my go to. For dessert, I highly recommend the tiramisu and the tartufo.“

“We stopped in on a Monday for dinner. Apparently they host a charity each Monday with volunteer servers donating their tips and 10% of the bill to support a cause. A noble action by the owners to support the community. They serve a limited menu, but had what I wanted - pappardelle with pork ragout. Aldente pasta and a rich flavor on the sauce. I devoured the bowl. The portion seemed small, but was just enough.“

“10 stars! The best sandwiches in all of CC County are made here! The staff is very friendly and upbeat- you can tell the crew absolutely love their jobs and! the "decor" in the shop is pretty great! The sandwiches are pretty pricey, but absolutely worth the cost!Oh! And meatball parm.“

“You know who the more seasoned servers are- I know you have to learn along the way but they call it shadowing for a reason. If you want to work, get great tips, pay attention, have integrity, and huddle. Get off your damn phone, refill drinks, cold plates come with the salad and always provide a pizza server with a hot pizza. Ask if the customer wants pepper or Parmesan cheese on their salad/pizza. Besides that the food is always amazing every single item. The seasoned servers know who they are and I always ask to sit in their section!“

“I attended a work function here. The room was quite nice. Very clean. Our bartender/waitress "Liz" was awesome! So friendly and helpful. The cocktails were tasty and so was the food. It was a plated dinner with hors d'oeuvres. My NY steak was perfect! Huge portion and tender. My family and I will be back for a regular sit-down dinner.Wheelchair accessibility: There are two entrances. One in front and a larger lot in the rear of the restaurant. Both are wheelchair accessible.“
