“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.”

Montecatini Ristorante 1528 Civic Dr, Walnut Creek Italian • $$

“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!”

The salad bar had all fresh veggies, fruits deli meats, salmon lox. Too much to list. At 75.00 per person its not a place i would visit frequently, but well worth the price.”

Dumpling Hours 1389 N Main St, Walnut Creek Chinese • $$

“So I've been to Dumpling Hours probably a dozen times. I love this place. I love it even more having recently visited Doh! Zone a couple blocks away over by Five Tacos and a Beer. Don't bother going to Doh! Zone, a Dumpling chain. Do they even make their dumplings in-house like the hardworking folks at Dumplings Hours, I mean you can WATCH them make the dumplings right there!! Dumpling Hours is sooooo much better. They have cracking good wings and garlic green beans as well which are fantastic. But their Xiao Long Bao are wonderful, full of delicious broth, with nice delicate wrappers. The other place, not so much.”

“My go-to matcha latte spot! My boyfriend introduced me to this place and I always find a reason to come here to satisfy my matcha craving. I don't typically get matcha lattes but their strawberry lychee matcha latte always hits the spot. I've tried a variety of their mochi donuts and muffins and they're pretty tasty. I like how they have a variety of Asian flavors like ube, Thai tea, and matcha. I always recommend this place to my friends when they're in the area, and so far, they've all enjoyed it. The employees are all super nice and consistently make great lattes. The place itself is small, with a few tables inside and outside the shop. The parking situation is not bad considering it's located in downtown Walnut Creek. It has its own small lot and is connected to a plaza with more parking. If it gets crowded, you can park at the park garage less than a block away that offers free parking for the first 3 hours. Will continue to come back and recommend this gem!”

Yogurt Spot 1980 Tice Valley Blvd, Walnut Creek Ice Cream Shop

“One of the best froyo I've ever had! Wasn't able to try their gelato but I'm super impressed with their froyo -- super creamy, flavorful, texture is like soft serve ice cream. I'm so grateful I work by here because Yogurt Spot makes such a good after-work sweet treat. The employee who assisted me was very friendly and efficient. They offer samples of the gelato, and I'm assuming the froyo too, but I already knew what flavors I wanted so I didn't get froyo samples. Other customers were sampling the gelato. Froyo is priced per cup size, not oz, and includes 2 free toppings! Additional toppings are $0.75 each. Upfront the pricing seems higher than other chain froyo places but ultimately ends up being reasonable since pricing includes toppings and the cups are filled up high.I got a small, which I shared with my boyfriend, with Strawberry and Cookies and Cream + strawberries and Reese's PB cups toppings. Total came out to be $7-8. The froyo was so good and not icy at all.Can't wait to come back and try their gelato!”

Elevated and palate pleasing menu offerings, like the lemon ricotta pancakes and the tahini lentil salad with added grilled chicken! Some of the dishes come with many different sides (like oatmeal, toppings, bread, fruit) making it a complete family meal. Highly recommend!Kid-friendliness: They are super nice and patient with my toddler, and always throw in an extra little side or crayons etc when he engages with them <3.

There location has a boba tea section and a popcorn section; with this review only being around the popcorn section. Flavors: There are a multitude of flavors, like movie theater, kettle corn, double cheddar and chicago mix. Beyond that, there are specialty flavors that include Ube Caramel, Matcha, and Chocolate (note that these three flavors are more expensive. I have tried the Ube Caramel, Matcha, and Chicago mix; with a Chocolate popcorn just waiting for me to open. Based on what I have had, every flavor has been a 5/5 and the Chicago Mix is my personal favorite. Overall: I cannot recommend this pace enough and you need to get yourself here ASAP.”

The draft beer in frosted mugs is refreshing and goes very well with the katsu. Service is friendly and lots of drink options from sake to soju to ramunes. Definitely something for everyone.Vegetarian options: There are options even for plant-based diets.Parking: Saw a couple of pay-per-use EV charging spots in the parking lot too.

Tatsu Sushi 1837 Ygnacio Valley Rd, Walnut Creek Japanese • $$

“It’s a contemporary Japanese restaurant with an extensive menu. Decor is bright and cheery. Bonus points for big screens showing a winning Warriors game on the night we dined there! ? Personally I had the cheesy katsu on a sizzling hot plate which was quite a sight and tastes pretty good. My party had sushi and ramen which are ok but the broth is not complex flavor-wise. The draft beer in frosted mugs is refreshing and goes very well with the katsu. Service is friendly and lots of drink options from sake to soju to ramunes. Definitely something for everyone.Vegetarian options: There are options even for plant-based diets.Parking: Saw a couple of pay-per-use EV charging spots in the parking lot too. Probably J1772s.Kid-friendliness: Good menu options for kids and they provide little chopstick training widgets for a fun experience”

As soon as I walked in he waved and was extremely friendly he guided us through the menu and ended up trying the chicken and sirloin steak empanadas, and they were absolutely delicious! He then proceeded to offer us a free beer on the house because he is offering free beer Fridays! If you're in Walnut Creek and you haven't checked this out yet you gotta try it!”

“Great selection of top notch beers on tap and many more in bottle. The bar tender was knowledgeable and helpful in making selections. It has the feeling of an off the path rathskeller in Germany. Prices on bottled offerings can get high as some are rare or uncommon in the US. We did not try any food. They post their taps on the Untapped app. A great place to try a beer you might not find anywhere else and have good conversation with a friend.Parking: Metered start parking with extended meter hours.”

“5 stars! I love this location. They have also been so great especially when it comes with delivery. I live a few blocks away and they deliver at a timely matter. The other day, there was an app glitch. Apparently my pizza (which I always order the same every time) had the wrong added topping. I called and they fixed it right away. Either way, if you are planning on having a kids or gathering party at the franchise, it is a MUST! The staff is kind and the managers are great and they all car! Also if you order delivery, I suggest to tip the driver separately, especially since they are delivering for you! Don't miss out and come have their pizza!”

Very delicious, and the cocktails were perfectly balanced. The mains were a bit lacking. The seafood pasta lacked flavor, the filet mignon a bit overcooked depending on the piece, and the Halibut was the biggest let down. Very dry.The desserts were mostly good. The star was the poached pear, followed by the cheesecake, but the galakto was burnt.Overall it's a lovely restaurant with Santorini vibes, and the waiters/staff were always kind. ?At these prices, the mains need to be a lot better.”

“The restaurant is the most authentic and upscale Mexican cuisine in California, and you would never know it. I don't write lengthy reviews, but to summarize: - The food is excellent - The drinks are even better! - The staff is kind and extremely polite/professional (despite what some of the haters say below - I don't have skin in the game here so trust me when I say they are lying). - And they play GREAT live music and carry a very fun, safe, and upscale vibe. Tell your friends about it, because all small businesses struggle and this is one I would personally love to see hit 4 stars+ on Yelp and more importantly bring a sense of cultural awareness to one of the best communities in the Bay Area (WC).

The stand out dish was a new dish called “shrimp toast”! Shrimp paste over a Chinese donut and then deep fried. ? you dip the shrimp toast in their honey mayo and you get a freaking taste bud explosion. The chili oil was a burst of flavors. Definitely not your average chili oil. The shrimp ? dishes did not disappoint!I had…-har gow-egg gravy chow fun with shrimp-garlic noodle with shrimp-shrimp toast-hong Kong style seafood chow mein-daikon radish cake in xo sauce-tripe with ginger and scallion-the pan fried shrimp and chive dumpling was the size of my palm!-bun assortment: the ube was so freaking tasty-deep fried shrimp meatballThe staff was so friendly and efficient.

“Yes sir, still good. The order taking was friendly and efficient. The young ladies in front were not too friendly though (like they are doing you a favor in ringing you up would go 5stars for the food and price, but now will need to think twice about the lack of friendly cashier service. Really hate to do that because if they just smiled or seemed thankful for your business I would rate them 5 stars like I did before. However, it's a good deal for sandwiches.”
