Best Italian Restaurants in Alamo

This restaurant has been on our list for a while and we are glad we finally made it. The menu is a tad small, but they clearly go for quality over quantity. With our group of 4, all of our dishes were outstanding and appreciate them offering gluten free items. It was the first time in almost 15 years that I was able to enjoy gluten free bread at the table (the dipping oil was amazing). I had the fettuccini al fungi (with GF pasta) and it was light but with so much flavor. We were not as excited about the desserts as we were our dinner. We ordered the torta cioccolato and I suppose we expected a rich flourless chocolate torte but I re-read this to be a cake, so our error for that. The panna cotta was more jello like than the familiar smooth and creamy ones we have always had. The cocktails were also fantastic (must try the Aero Mexico). We will definitely return to Montesacro!

My favorite restaurant in Walnut Creek! Fantastic food, incredible service & ambience. There is nothing average on the menu either. The escargot & carpaccio are beyond amazing. And don’t forget to end with either the tiramisu or zabaglione/ with strawberries. Absolutely the best ending to a phenomenal Italian meal!

We had a lovely evening at Piatti last night. Our table was ready as soon as we arrived, and the timing of the dinner was just right—not too rushed, but not too slow either. My dining companions thoroughly enjoyed the pizza, soup, and salad. One friend even joked that the salad dressing was so good she could lick the bowl! I opted for the pasta bolognese, which was absolutely delightful. I was pleased to learn that the pasta is made fresh in-house. The restaurant was recently remodeled and I feel it’s much nicer now with comfortable chairs. We will be back!

It our favorite place and our server was amazing. Nice family celebration
