“One of my families’s favorites in the area. Not only have we dined here on multiple occasions over the years, we recently hosted my daughter’s 16th birthday party with her friends in their wine room. Planning the event was easy, professional, and with prompt responses. Value was amazing and everyone had such a great time. We look forward to dining here again with nothing but positive experiences.

“the New England clam chowder was off the hook no longer do I have to drive all the way to San Francisco have a good piece of sourdough bread dipped in the delicious clam chowder thank you Great Impasta“

“The food was fresh and so delicious. Their mixed drink menu was great. Loved their friendly snd accommodating staff. Ambiance was beautiful- they have a great bar and intimate seating room in the house. Will definitely dine here again and bring more friends.“

“Great food and service! We ate inside because it was 100 degrees...again...so we thought we'd brave the "noisy" indoors. Turns out it was only half full on a Sunday at 6:00 p.m. and older people so it was very quiet. We could see how the acoustics were going to make it a very noisy place; hard surfaces everywhere. Our waiter outperformed our needs, as did the bartender, who came over to check on the quality of the Sicilian Etna Rosso wine I was drinking. We loved it, but outdoors looks even better (once the temp dropped!). Note: wine list is expensive and there aren't any "fallback"-priced everyday wines, so be prepared for a little sticker shock.“

“Good food and great service“

“Cozy and courteous staffs“

“Perfect birthday dinner thank you!!! Service excellent and food off the hook.. I’ve been trying to find a fish pizza forever and your Nrw Haven Clam with bacon was delicious!!!! And my birthday New York cheese cake omg!!! Thank you“

“Montecatini in Walnut Creek is one of those old-school Italian spots that never disappoints. The ambiance has a “Goodfellas” vibe—classic, cozy, and full of character, with a timeless feel that makes you feel like you’re stepping into a traditional Italian trattoria. The food here is outstanding, with rich flavors and great attention to detail.

Their specials are always worth trying, especially the swordfish and duck—both are standouts that showcase the restaurant’s commitment to quality. The portions are generous, and every dish feels like a true labor of love. Whether you’re a regular or a first-timer, Montecatini is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates authentic, delicious Italian food in a warm, inviting atmosphere.“

“Our server was wonderful. Reminded me of the old days when some servers were passionate about food and wine and shared their knowledge with joy. Made our experience lovely. He was quite responsive to the fact that we had theater tickets afterward and took good care of us. Food was delicious.“

“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!“

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

“Yummy food! BUT even before we were ALL FINISHED with our dinners, bus person began to clean off our table & remove bread etc! Even reached across me to remove several plates & silverware not once but several times! Not appropriate! Will we return? YES as the food (veal scallopini & salmon) was delicious!“

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

“Just a wonderful local resturant. Owner is always warm and welcoming. Food is always wonderful. Fantastic atmosphere.“

“Excellent food, excellent service. More than adequate portion size- we took half of two entee home. The other two entres were too good to leave any.The Gnocchi with mushrooms were the best I have ever had- including in Italy. The Cannoli for desert were perfect. Obviously filled when ordered. The shells were crisp and the filling delicious. The piano in the background was unobtrusive- you could carry on a converstaion. Prices was moderate but worth it for this qulity of dining.“

“Great for large groups and families.“

“Great ambiance, service, and cuisine!“

“Best Italian food anywhere! Wonderful lasagna, fabulous cioppino, to die for lemoncello sponge cake with lemon sorbet. We have never had a bad meal here.“

“I've been coming to Pancoast for 10+ years: by far my favorite pizza with the best sourdough crust, fresh ingredients and the people are wonderful. Everyone is very community oriented and the new management is keeping everything the same so it's still the Pancoast I know and love!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Excellent dining experience. Top notch food as well as a wonderful staff. Great ambiance too!“

“Family 4 dine in. GREAT price for combo dinner. Soup or salad with pasta and drink. Regular plate large enough to split with an appetizer. The shrimp mushroom pasta was an excellent large 25-30 size. They did not cut any corners in fresh shrimp cooked to perfection. All the food was delivered steaming hot. Pasta was cooked, just right, and it was excellent. We also ordered cheesy bread thumbs up. 63$ Cant beat that for fresh hot Italian food we will be back.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“I ordered a Dungeness Crab Louie Salad and Smoked Salmon with Goat Cheese appetizer. They were both tasty, fresh, and packed perfectly in their take out containers. The gentleman who took my order was friendly and quick to answer my questions about the menu.“

“One of my favorite places to go casual or not! The food is always amazing and the espresso martinis are a great dessert!“

“Was there twice in 3 weeks for company team dinners. Food was good, good service was good. Only one bartender for the large group and the main dining room was a miss. The bartender made great drinks, but was clearly overrun with the increased volume.“

“We have eaten here several times it’s soo yummy.. We brought friends tonight they loved it also“

“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.“

“My niece and I stopped here by chance. We were driving home to AZ around dinnertime. We were going to go to a BBQ place but had to turn around as we were going in the wrong direction, when my niece spotted this place. I'm always open to pizza, so we decided to give it a try.
For starters, there is very little parking, but we are able to snag a spot. We went in and couldn't agree on one kind of pizza. We noticed that they had mini ten inch pizzas. So that's what we decided to do, and we each ordered our own. I customized the supreme as I don't care for bacon bits or olives. My niece ordered the barbecue chicken. There's just one small table with four chairs to sit at, so we hung out there while our pizzas were being made.
When they informed us the pizza was ready, we went up to the counter. The pizza box was extremely hot and heavy! When we got out into the car and looked at them, they were huge! It's a very generous ten inch pizza!
Due to the lack of space and parking, we tooled across the street to trader, joe's and ate in their parking lot! The pizza was so loaded and so filling that we each could barely finish three pieces from our respective pizza. I'm very glad we had an ice chest in the car! I just enjoyed leftovers heated up in my air fryer.
I would one hundred percent recommend this place! They have a pizza that is about twenty-eight inches around. I noticed the to go boxes, and one was really big! I think that pizza size is the granddaddy! They also have a Mac daddy!
Don't let the location and appearance fool you. Get a pizza from here asap!“

“The atmosphere was a very nice surprise. Came on a Saturday night, and was just crowded enough that if felt alive but was still very calm and quiet. You can hear the person next to you. Their decor is beautiful. Stylish and simple. The food was good. Flavors were nothing to write home about, but food was fresh and solid. Portions were generous. Our server was very nice but we felt a bit forgotten at times. They weren't that busy and had a lot of workers but everyone seemed overworked which was strange. I think she realized it and made up for it at the end with extra attention. Overall would recommend for a nice dinner where atmosphere is important such as a birthday or anniversary, or if you just have the money to spend and want to try something new. Much nicer inside than outside, which looks a bit dumpy. You will be happy once you get inside.“

“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.“

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

“Great pizza at a good price. What more can you ask for? Friendly staff and quality food. Not really an "atmosphere rating as we always pickup and bring it home. There is no inside seating available so it is more of a pickup place than a restaurant but overall great.“

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

“Charles was great! We will be back.“

“Consistently good pizza great salads need to try the ribs I hear they are really good.I would much rather support a family run business than a chain store and this place does well done just the way I like it. Support Local Business check them out“

“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 !!!“

“My friend and I got some takeout pizza to bring to our hotel (I wish we dined in.) They had Avalon Cabernet which was terrific. That Cabernet worked great with our pizzas. The Ceasar Salad was the expected Sysco restaurant Caesar Salad. I loved my pepperoni-olive-anchovies pizza and my friend liked his pizza margarita. Great takeout that would have been better as a dine-in.“

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

“Great Lunch Menu Specials!!!“

“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.“
