50 Best Italian Restaurants near San Ramon

“We have been to Rosmarino a few times - found it by accident while looking for well rated Italian restaurants in the area (we recently moved to Danville). The food was excellent with several vegetarian options, the service is friendly, and they have a nice wine selection. They offer a monthly (I think) wine and food pairing where they highlight wines from a region or country. We asked and they were able to give us vegetarian options for each course. It was an excellent experience, and we got to meet some interesting people at our table.“

“Primavera is a great place to eat, the chicken saltimbocca was cooked perfectly. While most restaurants have been increasing prices and skimping on ingredients my dish was reasonably priced and delicious with a perfect sized piece of chicken, prosciutto. I was disappointed the bread and caponata sauce was an additional $6.00 but I guess that is what keeps the other dish prices down. A great place to treat yourself to a wonderful meal.“

“Alora Social in San Ramon is such a fun spot for a night out! The atmosphere is vibrant and inviting, making it perfect for date night, a celebration, or an evening with friends.

The food is excellent and beautifully presented. Definitely don’t skip the hummus platter—it’s fresh, creamy, and served with warm, fluffy bread and delicious accompaniments. Everything we ordered was flavorful and well prepared.

The cocktails are another highlight. They have a great selection of creative, handcrafted drinks that pair perfectly with the food.

For an extra special experience, I highly recommend visiting on a Saturday evening when they have live belly dancing. It adds such a fun and energetic element to the night and really makes the experience memorable.

One tip: make a reservation, especially for Saturday nights and weekends. They can get very busy!

Great food, fantastic cocktails, welcoming service, and a lively atmosphere make Alora Social one of my favorite spots in San Ramon. Definitely worth a visit!“

“I really like Pancoast. Wife is a newyorker and Pancoast’s pizza style is right up her alley. They have 4 tap beers and they’re some of the best in Norcal - nice to see somebody cares about great beer. I order to go, get a beer at the bar, and take home. They’re seemingly busy all the time so Pancoast has a following.

Parking sucks, they have to share with their neighboring businesses so plan to get a spot on the street.“

They're always consistently good, reasonably priced, very friendly, and there's a reason why they keep getting such high ratings.
Because they're that good!“

“Doppio Zero is a wonderful pizza restaurant with great food and a fantastic atmosphere. Their signature Doppio Zero pizza was excellent, and the quality of the cheese really stood out—it was fresh, flavorful, and delicious.

The restaurant has a very ambient atmosphere with a modern downtown restaurant feel, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. We were really happy with both the food and the quality of service. Overall, a great experience, and we would definitely recommend Doppio Zero to anyone looking for good pizza and a nice dining atmosphere!“

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

“I visited the Castro Valley location tonight after the Dublin restaurant closed. This location is excellent, with friendly and attentive wait staff. The food quality is consistently high. We ordered the Italian sausage fettucini and Cajun chicken fettucini with a salad combo, and both pastas were served hot and fresh. My family is definitely committed to returning to this restaurant.“

“The food was wonderful. Flavorful with beautiful plating.The restaurant was a simple but classy environment. Just the type of place I like to enjoy a meal.“

“Some of the best pizza in Pleasanton! We always get it when we’re in town for more than a few days because it just hit so hard. It’s always made exactly the spec and you can also customize it as much as you want which is great. We always get it well done so the crust is nice and crispy even though it’s fully loaded! absolutely love it.“

“Tried Olive Garden’s Calabrian Steak & Shrimp Bucatini through curbside To Go and overall I really enjoyed it. The pasta has a creamy Calabrian sauce with a nice little kick of spice, and the combination of steak and shrimp makes it a pretty filling dish. The bucatini holds onto the sauce really well, and I liked the spinach and tomatoes mixed in too.

Every To Go order also comes with two breadsticks and your choice of their salad or one of their soups. I went with the salad, which was neatly packaged and actually a pretty good-sized portion.

The curbside To Go process was super easy and convenient. I just pulled up, checked in, and they brought everything right out to me. My only downside was that it was a Saturday, so the food took longer than normal to come out.

Overall, a solid takeout experience. The Calabrian Steak & Shrimp Bucatini was flavorful, filling, and I’d definitely order it again.“

“Ordered a simple large pepperoni pizza and it arrived in 36 minutes. Not bad, not great. But the wait was worth it in the end. The pizza is absolutely on point. I love the way the cheese is melted and the top layer of cheese is crispy, but not overly crispy. Tastes great and you can tell it’s hand made and very fresh. Will definitely order again.“

“Had a great dinner at North Italia. The white truffle garlic bread was spectacular, easily the highlight of the meal and so delicious. The Bolognese was excellent, and the Ciao Bella cocktail was smooth, sweet, and really good.

We went on a Saturday night and the restaurant was packed, so the atmosphere was loud and lively. Service was great overall, although as it got more crowded later in the evening, we saw less of our waiter. Still, we had a great time and really enjoyed the food and atmosphere.“

“We have held several get togethers at Stella’s- it’s the perfect location for the Friday night concerts but weekdays are great too. It’s very comfortable going there with casual to fine dining and dress wear is anything goes. I prefer to dress up with friends and go to Stella’s for appetizers and cocktails. They have a great wine selection also. I highly recommend Stella’s for a fun upbeat place to meet with friends or even solo. You can eat at the bar and enjoy a glass of wine. You are welcomed there with a smile and everyone is so friendly too!“

“This place never disappoints. The food is high quality, well-prepared, and full of flavor—The service is outstanding, with friendly staff who make you feel right at home. It’s clear they take pride in both their food and customer experience. Highly recommended!“

“One of the best local Italian restaurant in East bay!“

“Really good food and good ole stories from back in the old days.“

“Unfortunately, we had a very disappointing experience here. The service was extremely poor, and our server was incredibly rude and had a bad attitude throughout our visit. He repeatedly rolled his eyes at us and made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome.

What bothered us most was the way he served the food. Instead of placing the plates down normally, he would practically drop them onto the table from above with such an aggressive attitude that it felt disrespectful and almost as if he wanted to throw them at us.

Good food can’t make up for service that makes customers feel disrespected. I really hope management takes this seriously and provides better customer-service training.“

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

“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!“

“Had their pizza today at work - tasted like it just came out of the oven-delicious, super fresh ingredients on 3 different pizzas. Especially loved the fresh tasting crust and sauce-my new go to pizza in Pleasanton❤️I am looking forward to a “custom” pie.“

“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“

“Great Lunch Menu Specials!!!“

“I stopped by New York Pizza in Main St Pleasanton for dinner.
They had the best food and customer service that I was really happy I ate there.
I will recommend to everyone that they didn't try this place.
I liked everything about this place.“
