“The food at Isola is always amazing and this visit was no different. Wonderfully authentic Italian flavors. It's impossible to not enjoy every bite. The service was also incredible. We dined at the bar this time and Ben was fantastic! He did everything, including welcoming us, fixing our drinks, handling our meals and providing great conversation throughout the evening. Can't wait to go back!“

“Just had a GREAT experience at Melo’s today! We had a large group (24+) where we pre-ordered pizza and salads. They set us up in an area perfect for our group. Our food was set up on one table…buffet style…and we had plenty of tables to sit and eat. Highly recommend Melo’s pizza and pasta in Danville!“

“Montecatini Restaurant is always a welcome evening for our family. We can always count on perfectly prepared meals every time whether it's a traditional pasta dish, seafood or house specialty item. Their service is friendly and efficient and our experiences there are consistently top-notch. We love to start with either the prawns wrapped in pancetta with pesto aioli appetizer or the bay shrimp on butter lettuce salad. The prawns are full of flavor and great to share, and the bay shrimp salad is a great portion, small meal-size with delicate balance of flavors. The carpaccio is also a favorite of our family, we order it with the arugula, red onion and dijon dressing. You cannot go wrong when ordering your favorite Italian entrees; we've literally never had even an average experience here! Pastas are perfectly cooked, well sauces and the portions are abundant. The Classics are authentic, delicious and the seafood entrees are always perfectly executed! They offer a full bar and a wonderful wine list! This restaurant gets my highest recommendation!“

“I went at 11:30am on a Wednesday. I ordered the pulpo twice and two glasses of a dry white wine recommended by my server, who is a delightful man with a charming accent. Though the restaurant was practically empty when I first walked in they had a relaxing vibe with a mostly pastel/white interior. I've had better pulpo, but not in walnut creek. If I wasn't able to go to oakland/San Francisco for octopus, I would come here.“

“Recently enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Postino's The food was wonderful, and the service excellent. It was a perfect al fresco dining experience“

“Great ambiance, service, and cuisine!“

“We came in on a Sunday, just in time to catch the live piano music, and it absolutely set the tone for the evening. Rodney (aka “Uncle Rod”), who was standing in that night, was incredibly warm and engaging—so personable and happy to take requests. It felt like we were part of something cozy and communal, not just dining out.

I had the filet mignon special, served with pillowy raviolis and topped with sautéed mushrooms. Every bite was buttery, savory heaven. We brought our own bottle of Nottingham wine, which paired perfectly—thank you to the staff for being so gracious about it.

Between the welcoming service, amazing food, and live music, it made for the kind of night I wish I could bottle up and replay. Highly recommend for anyone craving something special without leaving town (or in my case living in Alamo it was off our beaten path and worth the drive)“

“I came here for happy hour and dinner. Decent selection on the HH menu which is from 3-5. We ordered the shrimp and fried ravioli which was $8 per appetizer. We considered ordering the Kobe sliders but opted for a $35 prime rib dinner which came with a loaded baked potato and sautéed veggies. I split this and 2 happy hour appetizers with my friend and it hit the spot! Just when I thought I didn’t have room for dessert I made room. The butter toffee cake was delicious and I highly recommend it!

It was slow on a Tuesday night. Service was friendly and attentive. Def worth a visit!“

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

“So good tried a classic & a square pizza Recommendation from our Genna server. Definitely be back soon.“

“We went to a baby shower last Saturday. We sat outside which was lovely. The service and food is ALWAYS so good! They do not skimp on their portions! We have been coming here since 1985. Thanks Tony, you know how to do it right!“

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

“We recommend the pear & strawberry salad; order the starter size unless you want to fill up on salad. The chicken piccata and chicken saltimbocca were both excellent, with delicious buttery sauce and plentiful portions. The flourless chocolate cake with raspberry sauce was an excellent topper. If the service had been a little quicker, it would have been a perfect night, but that's a quibble.“

“Took my friend here for a Mother’s Day lunch. She was feeling blue because her kids didn’t show up. Panini’s was the closest and most convenient since I had to go back to work. I hoped it wouldn’t disappoint and it didn’t. She had a turkey avocado and she said it was just right. The service was spot on&she cheered up a bit. Thanks for that Panini crew.“

“Quaint little restaurant with a nice vibe. Second time here, good food both times. Nice wine list. Gets very busy on weekends.
A little outdoor seating available on porch.

Waiter was friendly, but not very attentive. Lots of customers and regulars to tend to it appeared.

Good place for date night or getting together with friends. Nice ambiance.“

“great food, great prices, great service. relaxed atmosphere. Been going there for as few years now & never had a bad meal.“

“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.“

“Delicious Italian deli serving sandwiches, appetizers, drinks, ready to heat dinners, Italian grocery items. The quality of food is very good and the staff is very friendly. There is indoor and outdoor seating. I would highly recommend this place.“

“Food was excellent but they appear to be understaffed. We were seated at 6 for our 6 o'clock reservation and didn't see a server for 15 minutes and had to wave over the busses to even get water. The server was good, but definitely stretched and stressed.“

“My son (34 pizza connoisseur) and I went to this place to see what they have. What we found was a family pizza place with some of the best pizzas in the area. From a slice to King Kong, you can get whatever your budget can handle.
Look them up, go buy a slice, and test them out. You won't regret it. I'll be going here again.“

“all I can say is wow!! the best Italian food I e ever ate!! and they were kind enough to add a half a loaf of bread and a extra slice of pizza to my order I definitely recommend this wonderful place when your around town , thank you for your food !!!“

“Walk in & you will know! Food is delicious“

“Food is Delicious! Atmosphere is very nice and friendly! Try the Lemon Cake!!!!! This Place is everything you want in a Family Style Pizzeria!“

“Really great pizza 🍕 the best“

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

“My husband and I were craving pizza. However, the places here in Castro Valley have been disappointing recently. We decided to give Villa Roma a try and see how we liked it. We loved it! We ordered a custom pizza and garden salad. Both were delicious. The garden salad was fresh, flavorful, and filled with a scrumptious variety of vegetables. We will be going back soon.“

“Charles was great! We will be back.“

“So good and very pleasant stuff!!“

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

“Great Lunch Menu Specials!!!“

“These folks have been in business for a long time (since the 70's or 80's I think) and they make really good pizza. Like the name implies, it's take out or delivery only. We have a few pizza places (Sorentos and Melo's) we like to go for sit down dinner, but Strictly to Go makes pizza that is right up there with the best of them, and they are so much better than the chain locations nearby. They're family owned and operated, so money spent here is going back to the community. I typically make my own BBQ at home in my smoker, so I haven't tried the ribs. That said, I can fully imagine they're great too.“
