“Amazing vibes- food, great wine you aren't buying at the grocery store and the feeling that you have walked into something special. But honestly the best part of this place is Benjamin HANDS DOWN- one of the most down to earth, does anything to make your experience special, brings the best energy as soon as he meets your table. This is the place you will want to come week after week to see what new wines B might have in store. Highly recommend the members club or getting on the waitlist for it asap. Pop ins are amazing and member parties are the best thing in east bay. Hard to share such a gem but this place deserves to be known!“
“We’ve been members for maybe 6 years and we just love Buon Vino it is a great place to hang out and drink some delicious wine. The atmosphere is always great. We love the new location and all the fun events they come up with. Always our place to go to with my husband and great spot for girls “
“This was our Valentine's Celebration and the experience was wonderful. Service was attentive yet not hovering. I had the seafood bouillabaisse special and my wife had the beef bourguignon. Both were excellent and a good value. We will definitely return“
“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.“
“This is a go-to place for business lunches in downtown. On my last visit I had a vegetarian pie and for some reason I was told it's not on the menu this time. I ended up having a salad which was very tasty. I hope this place brings back the vegetarian pie so that vegetarians can give company to the rest of the crowd.“
“Several things that I like about this place that distinguish it from other wine shops:- It's less showy than Kermit Lynch, less overwhelming than KandL, and has much better variety than Total Wine - The Riesling selection is excellent and there's a lot of aged Riesling from not-as-well-known producers - The prices are generally fair and there are occasionally good discounts; this is *not* a place that's overloaded with high-end Burgundies and there are plenty of wines in the ~$20 range- The website is kept up up-to-date with new arrivals and accurate prices (this is very helpful and makes the inventory easy to look through before you get there) Igor is enthusiastic and happy to let you shop or talk through a recommendation. The weekly tastings are great too and there's sometimes even food trucks. Worth signing up for the newsletter to keep track of what's happening. It is a fairly small operation, so you're not necessarily going to get a lot of legendary wineries coming in for events or a lot of bells and whistles, but I like what they're going for here. Definitely a great neighborhood wine shop.“
“We were there for a special event, so I can't speak to the regular day to day operations. Our food was great, the wine is good, and the beer selection was perfect for me. The place looks and feels great, like you are in a special place. The staff is super nice and ready to help and chat with you. I recommend this place very highly, if you are looking for wine and a place to hang with your friends and family.“
“The food was excellent! I was with two of my counterparts as we were working in the area (I am from Florida, one counterpart from Las Vegas and the last from Visalia) and we had dumplings, kung pao chicken, sweet and sour pork, Mongolian beef with combination rice. It was absolutely fantastic!The service was incredible and we asked for absolutely nothing during our meal as it was taken care of before we even realized we needed it done.I highly recommend this location as you will not be disappointed.“
“We ate multiple meals here and they were all enjoyable! If you don’t feel like going out, A’trio comes highly recommended. Had our dog and everyone from valet to front desk to housekeeping was so welcoming and we received terrific service. This hotel was an incredible surprise.Dietary restrictions: They have lots of meal options!“
“I really enjoy Flemings as a rule and my last visit there last week was pretty good. The Walnut Creek Flemings is probably the busiest one I've been to. It took a hot minute to get seated and felt a bit too busy but the food was fantastic. Before we were seated, we took advantage of the bar area and the cocktails were spot on. After finally being seated, our waiter was very attentive, fast and well informed. My steak was perfectly cooked and the recommended wine was delicious. Despite it being a bit too busy for my normal tastes, it was a fantastic meal and I would definitely recommend it!“
“One guy working the whole front of house, but he was really nice and helpful! Just wish he had some help. Cool space but high ceilings and lack of sound deadening meant you couldn't hear much above the screaming kids running around. Got better once they left though. Pizzas were really good! Great dough hole structure and texture. The Calabrian firecracker, while delicious, could probably use a little bit more even dispersal of chili, it got overpowering. Still, would come back here in a heartbeat.“
“Came for dinner. Had the fried chicken sandwich at it was great. Another in our party had the French dip, and they loved it. Sat in the bar area in a very comfortable round booth. Service.... wasn't great. It appeared only the bar tender was serving all the cocktail tables and maning the bar for the restaurant. Took way too long to be greeted and forever to get his attention to take our order. We contemplated moving to the dining room. Once food came out, we were frequently checked on by a busser and manager. I'd come back as the food was great. I just hope the service staffing improves.“
“Date Night! OMG! Tayna (I know I spelled her name wrong) our server was amazing! She made my loves first experience great! She was very knowledgeable and she explained everything to us. She recommended it's to us, and she was a very pleasant spirit to interact with. We are looking forward to our next visit.“
“We loved everything about VA de Vi. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable. The small plates menu offers a good range of dishes, from appetizers to veggies, pasta, risotto, meat, and fish. We shared the cheese plate, beet salad, tuna sashimi, roasted mushrooms, black cod, and steak. The dessert menu has delicious housemade confections. Beignets, lava cake, blondies, tarte tatin. The espresso was well made.Service was smooth and professional. We enjoyed our visit. Thank you Va di Vi staff.“
