    Love this spot. As a person who has lived in Italy, I will say that Walnut Creek has many fine Italian restaurants, but nothing as authentic as Montesacro. They serve Roman style Italian food, from Cacio e Pepe to Carbonara to the delicious Pinsa pizzas (Roman style square pizzas,). They've got a great wine list as well, and the service is always very friendly and attentive. I'm a fan!

    We really enjoyed our lunch at Bella Siena. The filet beef carpaccio was amazing! We had a variety of dishes (gnocchi pesto, lobster ravioli, frutti di mare, pappardelle) at our table of 5 and a couple people had special requests (such as no tomatoes or no salmon in the Frutti do Mare) and the restaurant was happy to make adjustments to any meal. All pasta tasted homemade! In addition to having a fantastic meal, the restaurant has a very nice view of the water from the dining area. I’d definitely recommend Bella Siena if you want quality Italian food! We will definitely be back.

    Food and service was great. Christmas eve is usually a fixed menu which is notmally a standard menu item. This was surprising as the regular menu was being offered we sdrived a little early and we were seated but not rused every item was hot and fresh and the service is what we have come to expect great all around
