Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Walnut Creek

Dining at Montesacro is like being in Rome for the evening -- everything is so authentic, delicious and enjoyable.

From before the meal through the end, our experience at new-to-us Creekwood was excellent. When we called to say we’d be late because of the weather and traffic, he was extremely gracious and accommodating. The meal was delicious, but an equal highlight was the service; our waiter cheerfully dealt with requests (lots) from our party of three, and our bus-person was lovely as well. THIS is what post-Covid dining should look like! We will return soon. Anne Marshall

Food was great and service was wonderful. Staff is very friendly and super accommodating. Very enjoyable.

Wonderful menu, delicious food, very good service.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Locanda Wine Bar for our work holiday lunch, and it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. The staff greeted us warmly and were attentive throughout the entire meal, ensuring we had everything we needed without being intrusive. The menu offered a great variety, and everything we ordered was not only beautifully presented but also bursting with flavor. The dishes were fresh, expertly prepared, and perfectly balanced. It’s clear that the chefs take great pride in their craft. The atmosphere was comfortable and professional, yet relaxed enough for conversation. We were able to enjoy our meal without feeling rushed, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It's definitely a place I’ll return to in the future!
