“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!!!“
“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.“
“I came here with my parents on a random Saturday and I have mixed feelings. First off- it's important to give them huge kudos for the pizza. I was very impressed. The quality of the dough is on point, and the toppings were generous and delicious. They all are in the 9-10 inch range, so small enough to eat one on your own and be full or have leftovers. It also makes it easy to split a few of them amongst several people. The bread they bring as a starter is nothing to write home about. It kind of tasted like that frozen dough you thaw out when you need to throw something together. BUT the red pesto sauce it's served with is to die for. I ended up putting it on everything. Calamari is awesome too.However, I've never tried anything else on their menu. Truth be told, it's because most of the pasta dishes look rather unappetizing. They're swimming in watery sauce. I can't really speak to the taste so I could just be judging a book by its cover, but I'm most likely to just stick to the pizza.As for the service, things get a bit strange. The woman who served us (I think the owner?) was nice enough but her energy was loud, frazzled and intimidating. Whenever she came by the table I would get anxious.It's also not the cleanest or nicest looking- kind of just your run of the mill sticky table type place. I'd recommend just getting everything to go.Overall, pretty great pizza joint and I'm sure I'll be back soon (for takeout going forward)“
“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.“
“My new favorite pizza place in Vallejo. The pizza I ordered was made with care and attention to details. The toppings were evenly distributed, the crust was perfect - not too thick, the cheese and the sauce were applied evenly covering the whole pizza. Great price, generous amount of toppings. I’ll definitely repeat.“
“Date night with the lady and we decided on pizza. We did a quick search and found nothing but over priced greasy choices in our local area (Walnut Creek, Concord). We found four corners pizza n pasta and the pictures and reviews sounded good. We ordered the Papa Charlie’s pizza and a Caesar salad and it had exceeded our expectations. Home made Caesar and ranch dressing, fresh toppings, evenly spread, and crispy crust. You can tell they take pride in their food and it shows. Lots of open seating, great atmosphere and clean. We will be back to try the rest of the menu. This is my new favorite pizza spot and I highly recommend it.“
“What a lovely cafe to enjoy. Small and quiet. Great food. Enjoyed our breakfast. Avocado toast with salmon was sooo good. The eggs, potatoes and bacon were perfect. Coffee is outstanding. Has great garden seating or inside table seating. Friends have said lunch is great too. We will return.“
“This is my all time favorite restaurant. I've been coming to the Casa since I was 21 years old, im 70ish now. Food is always great, never a bad one. Try to get there at lease once a week. The hostess are so wonderful, call you by name. All around the best!“

“I intended on trying something new and ordered the Salmon Caperi. I just had an unexplainable taste for something that the dish Perfectly satisfied. Great atmosphere for a stormy day made for a perfect silver lining as well. Divine dining!!“
“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.“
“Seeking fantastic southern Italian foods? This is the place! My 1st time here.. they had newly opened on a Friday, I came in on Saturday back in the 80's... I've been returning ever since. The meatballs are Off the Hook! For sure You will find something you like! No disappointments here!“
“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.“
“We came here for a business lunch, we had reservations at 11:30am. They were quick & easy to make online. It just opened, so it wasn't too busy, but you can see they get packed closer to 12-1230pm. We sat right at the window table. The view was amazing. The service since we walked in was great. Everyone smiled & greeted us. The waitress was great at her job. I really wish I had remembered her name. She interacted with the table, and it was a pleasure to have her serve us. The bussers made sure our plates were cleared & were on top of refilling drinks.We had the prawns & Bruschetta bread as appetizers, delicious! We had the special, which I believe was a spinach noodle w/sausage, mushrooms & tomatoes. It was really good too! Overall, I would definitely visit again!“
“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.“
“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.“
“This is one of our favorite, secluded, romantic restaurants in Concord, CA. We bring friends and family here for special moments and memories. Tonight I dined with my beautiful wife, and enjoyed their duck special, along with Olive pesto, 6 raw oysters, plus a chilled glass of Peroni. Great night to be with someone you love. Spumoni for dessert. All to Frank Sinatra on the music box. Each visit is special. This is a reliable spot for good memories, great food, and a relaxing, chill vibe to break the routines of life.Parking: Spots are available at 530pm“
“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.“
“The BEST pizza ever!!! Crust, toppings, seasoned oven.Oh, and the MINESTRONE!!! I aspire to make a vegan soup as delicious.Service is EXCELLENT!!!Lovely friendly atmosphere.Hometown is the word to describe the whole real deal.Vegetarian options: Pizza...choose toppings, which are many... also other vegetarian options. Minestrone is vegan.“
“Incredible service with authentic Italian dishes. I shared the prosciutto appetizer with my eight year old daughter, who until now ate store-bought prosciutto. She actually noticed it was better, and commented on how the tomatoes and cucumber and fresh mozzarella made the perfect bite.My chicken piccata was the best I've had outside of Italy. Her Bolognese was fantastic, and she ate so much she regretted it!Service was excellent; friendly staff, great starter bread, and an overall atmosphere as completely casual with elevated food and service!“
“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❤️“

“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.“
“Hello, I am a traveler of Argentine - Italian nationality.I came across this very particular place.A cozy restaurant with a very pleasant atmosphere.Its owner and chef Ramiro was very kind and welcoming to me and my wife.They let us choose our table as we liked.As soon as we sat down they brought us water with lemon and hot bread with Eggplant Caponata (amazing )We then tried a Calamari appetizer (abundant and tender) and then Fettuccine Alfredo and Salmon Dill (5⭐️)The food is prepared at the moment and in front of the customers.Each main dish comes with a soup or salad (you can add protein or different types of salad for a fee).Both the waiter and the assistant were very attentive and friendly.RECOMMENDATION!!This is NOT your average American restaurant.You should arrive prepared to have the experience of a European restaurant, where one goes to enjoy, relax and eat delicious food.The attention is personalized, so it takes time.Patience and understanding where one went to eat is important.Thank you so much.We will return, without a doubt!“
“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“
