Best Italian Restaurants in Pinole

We have dined at Casa Orinda’s since 1984….guess that’s 40 years. The food is always very good.| realized I had never ordered the cannelloni appetizer . I was excellent. No surprise. My husband orders the fried chicken. A Casa staple. There is no better. I got the eggplant parmigiana and always enjoy it. There are no bad choices. Our server tonight was Marty along with many others who clear and refill glasses. The staff and team are always attentive, professional and kind. Thank goodness Casa maintains the quality and excellent dining experience.

Always a great experience here, the chef came out and said hello and shared a few memories of a butcher shop in Tuscany we’d both been to.

I wonder why we don’t eat here more often. The menu is inventive and hard to choose from, the cocktails delicious and generous, the service was perfect. We had a great time and will be back soon.

Bella Siena is our go-to spot for celebrating any special occasion. The food and service never disappoint. Since it was Valentine's Day we splurged and ordered the lamb tenderloins. So good! My husband doesn't like garlic mashed potatoes, but there was no hesitation when we requested a substitute. Our other entree was the salmon, which was perfectly grilled and served with a hash of spinach, onions, and roasted potatoes. I liked that better than the lamb. For dessert, we split the chocolate mousse cake. If we'd been at home, we would have licked the plate. We were not seated at the window, but still had a nice water view.

It was our first time at Biancoverde at Hotel Mac for dinner, and we weren't disappointed! The staff was friendly and attentive, the service impeccable (special kudos to our waiter, Jose!), the drink menu was fabulous and the food even better. We loved everything about our experience - thanks Biencoverde!
