    Had a great time at Montesacro Saturday night. The drink program is fantastic. We really enjoyed the Pistachio creme espresso martinis and the gin drinks. The ambiance has just the right lighting and noise level for a night out. The service was not rushed and we were able to linger, order items along the way and really have a relaxing meal. This is a great addition to the Walnut Creek dining options and really had a European feel. Food-wise, the special salad with garbonzos, fennel and citrus was refreshing and light and the Pulpo was cooked perfectly. The pizzas have the best crust, but the Margarita pizza with arugula was a little flat. Could have used a little finishing salt or something. We added a little Calabrian chili oil, which adding a nice zing. The Cacio e Pepe was perfectly cooked and nice and creamy. We added some chili flakes to cut the creaminess, yum. The flourless chocolate cake was the only real dud of the evening. It was not the dense flourless chocolate cake we were expecting. Tasted and texture was more like a cupcake, really dry and fell apart, very little taste. Overall, a great evening out with friends.

    Great cocktails, decor, service, and food! Only downside is the noise level, which was deafening at a few times. Otherwise a wonderful evening.

    Enjoyed our dinner. Brussels sprouts appetizer is excellent and you cannot go wrong with any of the pizza choices. If you have the Pinsa Al Pistacchio dessert I highly recommend to get a side of the pistachio ice cream to complement the dessert.

    Our experience was great in all respects except the noise level. We were nearly yelling at each other to converse.
