On a sunny day sitting on the outside patio by the street, my friends and I had wonderful starters! All of them tasted wonderful. The bruschetta was the best. The entrees are quite large and shareable. I couldn’t finish my eggplant parmesan but it tasted good.

This Italian restaurant has been in Walnut Creek for decades. The food is fantastic, the service is excellent, and the ambience is very romantic here (though suitable for dinner with friends and family as well). The maitre d’ welcomed us on a busy night even though we had no reservation.

Another great meal. Ambiance is added with the great pianist playing semi-jazz Italian theme songs. Starting with Massimo’s Manhattan, great Waldorf salad, Canneloni and House specialty New York steak with an added 2018 Ballard Lane Pinot Noir wine. Fabulous
