“Ordered DoorDash from here a few times. Each time the pasta has been excellent and good value. Since I ordered for pickup all I can say about service is that it's quick and everyone is nice. The ambiance of the place looks great as well.“
“We tried lemon caper prawns linguine and chicken mushroom marsala penne and we love it! A bit pricey for $24 each but serving is huge and they don’t skimp on sauce. Make sure to dip the bread into the sauce. We couldn’t finish the meal since its a lot so we brought it home. We ate the leftovers for lunch today! Next time we’ll try their red sauce. ?“
“We were seated promptly upon arrival. Our waiter wasn't very friendly, didn't give us the specials, but he did mention them to other customers around us. It was my daughter's 30th Birthday I did mention that in the notes in our reservation, but she wasn't acknowledged and the table next to us was brought a desert with a candle. A disappointing!“
“Another catering order well done by Melo's of Livermore! We used them for my daughter's birthday before ever even ordering from them and they did not disappoint. Literally everyone LOVED the food. So without any hesitation they were my first thought for what we could serve to our staff for the in-service training today. We picked up the order last night and placed it in the oven this afternoon. Even with being reheated it tasted just as good as it did the first time! Our teachers absolutely loved the fettucia con pollo. Thank you Melo's!“
“We had an exceptional dinner experience! From the delectable appetizers to the delicious beet salad and entree, every bite was tasty and delightful. The service was not only friendly but also very attentive. A special treat from the owner added a special touch to an already fantastic dining experience. Highly recommend!“
“It blows my mind to see Indians serving me pizza. But I'll get over it. The pizza is delicious NY style, and everything else on the menu is really good. Special mention to the chilled broccoli with olive oil and lemon juice; it's healthy AND tasty. The service couldn't be better; it's attentive without being intrusive. The only thing I would change is getting rid of some of TV's playing non-stop sporting events.“
“We had our Easter meal here, and it was fantastic. This was our third time, and every time we have been there the food has been outstanding. We ordered from the prix fix menu made especially for Easter for $65 per person. Find the menu below. Every item we had was amazing, and the portions were quite large. I have had all of those foods before but nowhere near as good. The best part, though, was Andrea. When we mentioned we were heading to Italy soon and asked how to pronounce "Grazie", he actually sat down with us and gave us some phrases to say, tours to go on and what foods to order. He was awesome! I realize they are new here and have some kinks to work out, but I really believe this could be an incredible addition to our awesome town. I'm hopeful the community supports it.

“We have visited this restaurant twice. It’s located in downtown Danville and is set in a historic bungalow. There are two buildings for seating and a large patio. If you want authentic Italian food this is the place. Reservations recommended. All the servers are friendly and well versed on the menu. We have had the Margarita Pizza which was delicious! The crust is not too thick and just slightly chewy. We’ve also sat at the bar and ordered pasta dishes. The Aperol Spritz is a favorite as well as an extensive wine and cocktail list.Parking: Parking is off street, and can be busy during the weekend hours.“
“I love me a good sandwich in any form and when I was in the area I was surprised to see not too many options in Castro Valley. I came close to giving up and driving away right before I found this Italian Delicatessen. Thankfully it met all of my expectations! These sandwiches are LOADED! They are not shy with the veggies or deli-meat. I tried 2 sandwiches, the Dutch crutch was amazinggg. The sourdough was a true sourdough bread. Loved this place and will definitely come back!“
“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.“
“So, to begin with. When you see the place from a street, it is not the first choice to swing by, yet when you peek through the window, you'll see an open kitchen with food being cooked nonstop, a hood sign.Inside the place seems a bit crowded, yet you could probably squeeze 8n at the bar if you ask nicely even if you don't have reservation :)And now the food, fantastic italian cusine - the pasta is appropriately aldente, tomato sauce is fantastic, the beef carpaccio blows you away.And in the end you feel guilty if you miss the dessert.I would definitely recommend making a reservation and arrive hungry.Parking in a garage nearby is plenty.“
“Me and my wife come here every single week usually Mondays for their breakfast buffet, and I have never been more blown away. So many choices, the food is always fresh, the service is always amazing, and your food, extremely filling and always served with a smile! We love this place“
“Went for Tri-Valley restaurant week.. Nice menu of hearty minestrone soup and boar ragu with fresh pasta. So delicious! A crisp cannelloni was the dessert. On a cold rainy night, the restaurant was packed with locals who know where to go for warmth, comfort and filling, homey, yummy food.“
“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“
“Pretty good restaurant in Walnut Creek for some classic Italian dishes. The dining space is clean and gives more of an open family feeling to the place. They do also have a nice bar by the front that is kind of separated from the rest of the dining area. The drinks are a little hit or miss here, though. They do skimp on thr alcohol a little bit here, so make sure you order a more liquor-heavy drink or stick with their selection of wines. The food is great and really delicious. There was nothing that our table did not enjoy eating. They do have changing specials, and I highly recommend trying them. The desserts were also very good. Make sure to try their tiramisu since they do give a good portion of it. Overall a great place to take a date or the family.Dietary restrictions: They are able to serve gluten-free pasta upon request.Parking: There are plenty of parking garages if you want to spend money. Not that much free street parking around, though.Kid-friendliness: Good place to take kids for a nice meal with the family.“
“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.“
“Great food, eventually, but we were too stressed out to enjoy it. Four top with reservations for 6 pm seated immediately, yet food didn't arrive for over an hour! The place was packed due to an event across the street at the arts center beginning at 7:30 pm that we had tickets for, so they either overbooked or were short staffed in the kitchen. We'll return, but make reservations for 5 pm next time, or go elsewhere...there are dozens of good options.“
“The service is excellent. I had a ribeye and added grilled zucchini with that. Very good and tender as I had it well done.Others in my party loved the portobello mushroom appetizers.Plenty of parking in the back. Right near freeway for easy access.“
“This place is unequivocally the best. Hands down tastiest pizza around and awesome staff.Vegetarian options: Plenty of unique veggie pizza builds.Parking: Very large lot surrounding the business.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible.“
“Had a Detroit combo and the Frank's buffalo hot wings. Wings were crispy but will not try again. Pizza is the best I have ever had, worth the atrocious wait time. Will do it again as a special treat, our Detroit Pizza and wings fed 4 people.“
“We had a lovely, quiet dinner. I started with an appetizer special, calamari in a yummy lemon/butter sauce, followed by the ravioli and prawns. My husband enjoyed the mushroom soup followed by the veal. We shared a tiramisu and a couple of espressos. The piano man, Bob, played a couple of requested songs. Delightful. Our server Nemo, was very professional and didn't rush us. We are the ultimate slow eaters!“
“I’ve been coming to this place for 5 years and even though I moved to Tracy I still drive to Castro Valley when I’m craving pizza. This is the BEST pizza hands down. If you want the real deal you need to come here. Thank you and keep up the amazing work you do.“
“When visiting this fine Italian restaurant, be sure to order the Sunday gravy. It's basically every type of meat poured over by a delicious Italian red sauce, and then placed on top of a pile of spaghetti. The drinks were also prepared very well. The line is long so call ahead and make a reservation.“
“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.“
“This place has the best Italian food around. Service was amazing as well. My only question is why it's usually so empty? I've been there 4-5 times and always only 2-3 other tables. Location in a run down strip mall, decor needs help, but go for the food❤️“
“Had a rare "kid free" date night here. Food was great. I had the pistachio crusted lamb. Brilliant. Wife had the pomodoro with shrimp. We both loved it. Cocktails were great. They had a nice two piece band playing that didn't overwhelm the room but simply enhanced the vibe. Service was impeccable. We will return for another date night for sure!“
“We stopped in on a Monday for dinner. Apparently they host a charity each Monday with volunteer servers donating their tips and 10% of the bill to support a cause. A noble action by the owners to support the community. They serve a limited menu, but had what I wanted - pappardelle with pork ragout. Aldente pasta and a rich flavor on the sauce. I devoured the bowl. The portion seemed small, but was just enough.“
“10 stars! The best sandwiches in all of CC County are made here! The staff is very friendly and upbeat- you can tell the crew absolutely love their jobs and! the "decor" in the shop is pretty great! The sandwiches are pretty pricey, but absolutely worth the cost!Oh! And meatball parm.“
“We have eaten here over the past 10 plus years. Like with most restaurants they have their ups and downs. But Frankie Johnnie & Luigi has delivered consistently delicious Italian food. Last time was especially good. Tina's Too Too Much Pizza was true to it's name. It was a meat lover's dream with all the possible kinds of meat you can think of. Too many that I can't remember them all. The amount of meat they put on this pizza is almost too much... almost... but I truly love meat. Finally the layers of meat are no good if it doesn't taste good. The pizza is delicious. The crust is crispy not soggy. The toppings were all fresh and tasty... layers of flavor. So good.“
“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!“
“I attended a work function here. The room was quite nice. Very clean. Our bartender/waitress "Liz" was awesome! So friendly and helpful. The cocktails were tasty and so was the food. It was a plated dinner with hors d'oeuvres. My NY steak was perfect! Huge portion and tender. My family and I will be back for a regular sit-down dinner.Wheelchair accessibility: There are two entrances. One in front and a larger lot in the rear of the restaurant. Both are wheelchair accessible.“
“Old school Italian! The entire team was so friendly and attentive. Plenty of vegetarian options and everything was delicious. Our daughter had the ravioli and finished the half order. My wife had the pesto spaghetti and loved it. I tried the linguini with house made sausage. It was all delicious. I had the full order and probably would have been fine with the half order it was so much food! They also brought out two kinds of bread and butter before and with the meal. The desserts all looked amazing but we had to try the profiteroles and it was amazing! We will be back to try more!“
“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 !!!“
“The place is always reliable, their hot bread with special sauce was one of a kind, cappacio was good, our waiter was good. Their own label wine was a little disappointing and I ordered the pork chop and was a little too cooked and it became dry. Otherwise, it would have been perfect. With $18 for corkage, I’ll bring my own bottle the next time.“
