28 Best Italian Restaurants near Martinez

“I found my new local favorite. The pizza here is exceptional. Sauce is tangy but not too sweet. The crust is thin and cooked perfectly. The toppings are fresh and flavorful. And the slices are fat. The deserts are good, tried Sicilian canoli for the first time and enjoy it. The best part about the pizza is that it Isn't greasy. And the bottom of the pizza doesn't get all soggy. I really enjoyed the food. Definitely coming back as it's now one of my top 5 pizza spots“

“What a find! So delicious. So many choices. I had a wonderful tasting and large calamari steak with the best polenta I've ever had, with Al dente vegetables to round out my dinner. Wife had shells with chicken and broccoli, sun dried tomatoes and a creamy garlic and chicken sauce. Grand daughter had a huge linguine and frutti de Mari. After incredible fresh & zinging minestrone soup and spinach with pears salad. Everything says we will return to try more of their marvelous menu items. And so affordable with many choices less than $20!!!“

“This restaurant is so cute and while we were there, the regulars were coming through after work. The staff is extremely friendly and so accommodating. I forgot to take a pic of the complimentary bread and dip and clam chowder soup (soup of the day). It was so good and perfect with our meal. We've been coming here more often and really enjoy the service and the dishes we've ordered. My husband loves the carbonara with fusilli noodles. I've ordered the linguini pesto and the cheese tortellini. Those are my go to. For dessert, I highly recommend the tiramisu and the tartufo.“

“Excellent food. I just had the Gnocchi with the mushroom sauce and it was fantastic! A year or so back the quality was hit and miss. They lacked consistency. They seem to have gotten things together and now it's been consistently good the last five times I've been there. Far better than Pasta Primavera in Walnut Creek. Give it a try and you won't be sorry.“

“Pizza was fantastic as well as the custom garlic bread pizza. Food is almost as good as the staffs friendliness and customer service.“

“We strongly recommend Montecatini Restaurant in Walnut Creek, California. It's how the Host greets you immediately upon your arrival He is very kind, seats you without hesitation and the presentation is on point. It fills up right away after 6:30 p.m. and reservations are encouraged. A party of 6-8 or 4 to a table works fine. It's quaint spacing, but comfortable. The desserts ? are amazing, be careful. Most entrees are plentiful, salads are nice, and cocktails at your service. Get going and enjoy!“

“A pizza is not just a pizza at this restaurant. It's very different and very good. They call it a pinsa... cloud like pizza. Their description is accurate. It's crispy outside and soft inside... and delicious. We ordered 2 pinsas. One has the same name as the restaurant and was soooooo good, very tasty. We enjoyed both. Their octopus appetizer was one of the best I've ever eaten. Simple preparation that allowed the quality ingredients to shine. The octopus was fresh and tender... not chewy. My spouse loved the grilled exterior of the octopus. I was sorry we did not order 2 of them. Salome our server was wonderful. Her suggestions about the food and wine were spot on. Her only mistake was not suggesting that I order my own octopus appetizer... Still we hope she is our server when we return. Our next time will be for dinner in order to enjoy their full menu.“

“Date night with the lady and we decided on pizza. We did a quick search and found nothing but over priced greasy choices in our local area (Walnut Creek, Concord). We found four corners pizza n pasta and the pictures and reviews sounded good. We ordered the Papa Charlie’s pizza and a Caesar salad and it had exceeded our expectations. Home made Caesar and ranch dressing, fresh toppings, evenly spread, and crispy crust. You can tell they take pride in their food and it shows. Lots of open seating, great atmosphere and clean. We will be back to try the rest of the menu. This is my new favorite pizza spot and I highly recommend it.“

“What a lovely cafe to enjoy. Small and quiet. Great food. Enjoyed our breakfast. Avocado toast with salmon was sooo good. The eggs, potatoes and bacon were perfect. Coffee is outstanding. Has great garden seating or inside table seating. Friends have said lunch is great too. We will return.“

“It's a very welcoming and friendly place to enjoy some good food. Vallet parking is an added extra that makes you want to come back. The seasoned waiters and staff are very friendly and accomidating. The food is consistently very good.“

“Fabulous Food, Drinks and Ambiance! Love this place!!! Five Stars!!!“

“Wonderful and friendly staff, great food!“

“Me and a few friends went out 'bar hopping' - I'm sober personally - I had asked for a cup of coffee truly not expecting much at all.I shared with my best friend beside me and we talked about it all night. I don't say this lightly ~It was the best cup of coffee I have ever had~“

“Wonderful staff, food is fresh and delicious. Consistent quality and warmth of environment. - Don Dikun“

“Decent Buffalo wings. Can order ahead for takeout.“

“We are new to the area/California from NY we were delighted to find pizza as amazing as home! Friendly owner and staff.“

“Always delicious! And they have gluten free pizza for my son.“

“We've been to Wisegirl twice and had great food both times. We sit in their open "alcove" next to the actual restaurant, which works great for us -- with one exception. Both times, when our food came, we still had no table settings. We had to wait, and in one visit, had to ask twice. They need to bring table settings when they seat you or take your order.“

“Enjoyed another delicious and relaxing evening with the folks at Bella Siena. Service was excellent, food was delicious as were the drinks. The calamari was our starter with, of course, their yummy bread and carmelized onion dipping oil and we moved on to incredible entree's.“

“Wonderful food and great service!“

“We tried focaccia and two different pastas (see pictures) everything was delicious overall, we love the service and kid friendliness. The only thing it might to call out is that mushroom ravioli was a bit sweet and we couldn't get where was the sweetness coming from. But, it was overall good and I strongly recommend to give this new restaurant a chance! :)Parking: There is a paid street parking option, also the parking garage is pretty close to restaurant.Kid-friendliness: They have kids menu and fun stuff for kids to spend time“

“Pizza and sports bar with some nice Italian dishes. The chef is a wizard with mushrooms. I had the raviolini, mushroom ravioli in a cream sauce with sundried tomatoes. My companion had chicken Marsala and I grabbed his mushrooms. (He doesn't like them so more for me!) The place is popular. Lots of booth and table seating as well as the bar, all full.“

“Incredible service with authentic Italian dishes. I shared the prosciutto appetizer with my eight year old daughter, who until now ate store-bought prosciutto. She actually noticed it was better, and commented on how the tomatoes and cucumber and fresh mozzarella made the perfect bite.My chicken piccata was the best I've had outside of Italy. Her Bolognese was fantastic, and she ate so much she regretted it!Service was excellent; friendly staff, great starter bread, and an overall atmosphere as completely casual with elevated food and service!“

“We have eaten here several times it’s soo yummy.. We brought friends tonight they loved it also“

“Recently enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Postino's The food was wonderful, and the service excellent. It was a perfect al fresco dining experience“

“You know who the more seasoned servers are- I know you have to learn along the way but they call it shadowing for a reason. If you want to work, get great tips, pay attention, have integrity, and huddle. Get off your damn phone, refill drinks, cold plates come with the salad and always provide a pizza server with a hot pizza. Ask if the customer wants pepper or Parmesan cheese on their salad/pizza. Besides that the food is always amazing every single item. The seasoned servers know who they are and I always ask to sit in their section!“

“The food was great. The staff was attentive. We had a large party and everyone loved their dish. The menu is full of options, pasta, pizza, garlic cheese bread and the salads were big n fresh.“

“We have always ordered on Door Dash. Everything we have ever ordered is amazing. Also- food comes fresh and hot. All pizzas are a win. I’m always looking for a place with good Fettuccine Alfredo (with chicken). This is THE place. AMAZING. Meat lasagna- YUM.I get the cheesecake as well. It’s good. The chocolate is pretty good. My wife has switched to getting the carrot cake.I truly can’t say enough great things about this place. Absolutely the best. Thanks for a ton of great meals already !!!“
