There is no better Italian restaurant in the area. The food is always great, and the drinks are amazingly delicious. The family behind this restaurant is very kind and cares about everyone who dines there. Unlike many other Italian restaurants, the deserts here are phenomenal! Cakes are always light and fluffy and full of immense flavor! You may walk in as a guest but leave feeling more like part of the family.

This high end Italian restaurant is Located in downtown Walnut Creek. It’s not where the busy part of it though. And if it’s your first time going, you’ll have to slow your speed because it’s easy to miss, the sign is not easily seen. However, it’s a beautiful restaurant, especially the outside dining. They do allowed dogs and love that they accept reservations. It is a bit pricy but might say it’s standard price for Walnut Creek area.

I came here for Happy Hour. The place is cute, clean and has delicious food. I was definitely disappointed by the portion sizes and options. This place is pretty pricey, and for having under 10 items on the happy hour menu, I was surprised when they ran out of of one of their few options. Instead of prosciutto and melon, we had prosciutto and peaches. The lavender Moscow mule was great, and they did have several unique cocktails on their menu. However, when I go for a happy hour, I typically like to see shareable appetizers, so minestrone soup and Caesar salad seem like a desperate attempt to get people in the restaurant during non-peak hours.

Benvenuti is a wonderful dining experience for a special occasion, or any time to enjoy excellent food, wine, service, and a festive experience in their beautiful, welcoming venue. The menu is extensive, varied, and always tempting. We’ve been enthusiastic fans since it was modernly redesigned and opened as an even more wonderful dining treasure! This family-owned restaurant is a top favorite among our family and friends!

Came due to the good reviews and was not disappointed. Service was friendly and attaintive. The burrata was so delicious, fresh! The seafood pasta also had fresh tasting ingredients, al dente pasta and delicious sauce. The veal was ok, a bit on the tough side. The pumpkin cheesecake was good!

On the one hand Costco lasagna has more flavor than theirs, but on the other hand their tiramisu cake goes to my top 10.

Sharing with you a hidden gem in Walnut Creek downtown….. Sicilian family owned and operated. Homemade pasta and traditional family recipes. In our opinion, it id the best that Walnut Creek can offer outside of Sicily. Don’t believe me?… Go try it and prove me wrong
