Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Walnut Creek

Red sauce Italian centric menu attributable to the beautiful pizza oven blazing as you enter. Good neighborhood feel.

2nd time here with same friend who flew into OAK in Sept. and this evening. heard great things about it before, and it is true!

We sat at the bar and had a fabulous meal with excellent drinks.

Pleasant experience. Ate on patio even though it was a cold evening. Our table enjoyed the cioppino. Lamb shanks and bolognese. Branzino had too many bones.

The food is fantastic! The staff is very friendly and welcoming from the moment you enter. We had a group of 8 and though our actual server was rarely seen, the other staff made sure our glasses were full and our food was delivered in a timely manner. They have tables inside the restaurant, outside in a climate controlled area and they have an open air lounge area that would be a hit on a warm spring or summer evening. The only downside is enclosed areas are very loud and nearly impossible to carry on a conversation unless the person is sitting next to you. Overall, we would definitely go back.
