    We dined here on our way to the theatre in Walnut Creek. We like the salads, the Italian entrees and Italian sodas. They have efficient, expedient service.

    Came here for mother’s day with my two adult children. The whole dinner was just short of a total disaster. Once we arrived we saw at least 10-15 people waiting outside. Thank god my son got there early as they seemed to have way over booked. But that was just the beginning of a 2 hour dinner. We experienced multiple tables get served before us. The place was so screwed up multiple tables were waiting for anything to come. They forgot our drinks, never brought any sugar for ice tea. Didn’t have salt on the table. Never checked on us. Brought the check before they asked if we wanted dessert, charged the wrong amount. Brought some meals to one, then two and then the forth at different times. My sone finished eating before my wife even got her meal. My daughter and my wife had to go to the front to ask for items multiple times. My daughter saw the staff scream at each other many times. Totally disorganized and it looked like no one was on charge. The food was mediocre at best. None of my party ever want to go here again. The best part was Leaving to go home.

    Had reservations at 530p. Arrived at 525p. Waited until 545p. Not one person greeted us or asked if we needed help. Tried to ask one employee for help but she said she “only handles take out orders”. Wait staff constantly back n forth but not one person asked if we needed to be checked or if we needed any help. About 8 other people also waiting. Have been coming here for over a decade. Normally on Mother’s Day you are greeted with a rose for mom by the manager or hostess. Things have changed. We supported them during Covid times because we enjoyed them and wanted to help them weather the storm by ordering their stuff. The food here has always been excellent. This was our first bad experience with the restaurant. We only go here because it’s my mom’s favorite. We will have to leave it to the boss if we return. We were very bummed out because she was excited about eating here tonight (we come here every Mother’s Day/special occasion. Had to resort to plan B….Melos. They were spot on with everything and they saved the night.
