“I have a co worker who is dealing with a terminally ill family member. Came on quick and they were getting together last minute to spend time together. Wanted to do something nice for them so looked for places to help cater VERY last minute. I called around 2pm today and was told someone would call me back, could tell from background they were busy. I was nervous cause I needed it for tomorrow. But at 4:30, Nicolas called me and I explained I wanted to take care of this family and needed his help deciding what would work. He was amazing. Picked out exactly what he thought would be needed for a family of 25, adult and kid friendly. But beyond that. The kind words and way he helped me was incredible, getting this all done and taken care of without worry in less than 24 hours. I hung up the phone feeling completely taken care of and full of happy thankful tears. There's no words for how kind Nicolas was and I am so thankful.“

“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.“

“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.“

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.“

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!“
