“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.“

“Amazing sushi restaurant in Walnut Creek, very low key, unassuming spot but with excellent and super fresh food, especially sashimi.

We ordered premium sashimi omakase and extra toro as well as another roll and it was fantastic! I’d go back every time I’m in Walnut Creek!“

“I recommend the filet mignon and chicken stir fry. Wow! The meat was so soft, perfectly cooked. The texture of the noodles will blow you away! Also the chicken wing appetizer was bursting with fresh flavor from onions, cilantro and garlic. My wife had the spicy jalapeno mescal paloma. Talked about it the rest of the night. ?“

“Celebrated birthday dinner and the service was awesome! Staff are very welcoming, warm and attentive. Food are great (except for the steak whick is a little tough to chew). Bangkok Ribs are flavorful but meat portion vs bone is small. They offer a wide selection of menu and we will definitely come back to try other dish, the place is highly recommended for a family/group celebration.“

“This was very delicious and super well priced! $12.50 fed me for two meals! I will definitely be back.“

“Delicious lunch ! Egg plant with shiitake mushroom served with fried rice & salad. A good value.“

“We came in right around when I imagine the Sunday lunch rush had ended because for the moment we were the only two in the entire establishment. Things that stand out, the atmosphere is great. Being next to a busy intersection you'd expect a lot more road noise but it was relatively quiet inside. Great, and quick service.I can certainly see myself becoming a regular here because their chicken teriyaki is delicious. While the food was great my only gripe is parking. Good luck, and if you can park nearby it's worth the walk.

Parking: The lot behind the restaurant is private and belongs to the surrounding apartments. Street parking is very hit or miss. Parking across the street at the BevMo! and crossing seems to be the best strat for this location if your driving.“

“A very nice place, the music is good, the atmosphere is very good, a suitable place to go with friends and have a few drinks, the food is not very good but it helps hehehe. It's a bit difficult to find parking but right in front of the place there is a 5-story parking lot so there's not much to worry about. Greetings.“

“Charles was great! We will be back.“

“Had great experience from beginning to the end. Was immediately greeted by the host when I walked up the stairs. Very friendly and professional. Server/dinning room support staff top notch had great attention to details. Ruben our server was excellent. Would check back often to see how we are doing. He made sure we were taken care of. Dinning room support staff came perfect timing each time to remove our finish plates to setup for the next course. Food was great. Steak was cooked perfectly to order. Lobster tail tastes wonderful. Only minor issue was the Lobster Bisque might of concentrated a little, it was a bit on the salty side, but still good I did finished the soup. Chef's Selection dessert tonight was cheesecake and berries. Wonderful dish to end the meal. Management was wonderful. Came by and check to make sure everything was excellent. It most definitely was. Would highly recommend anyone in or around Walnut Creek, CA. To stop by and enjoy a nice surf and turf dinner with a side of excellent dining experience.“
