16 Best Italian Restaurants in Walnut Creek

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Charles was great! We will be back.“

“So good and very pleasant stuff!!“
