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.The food was delicious! The taste is worth the price. We had a couple of appetizers: calamari (love that it was not overly breaded), roasted cauliflower, and garlic bread! Now the garlic bread is something to talk about: not overly powerful garlic and cheese, served on a warm and pillow soft bread.The entrees were: special of the day “Truffle Fettuccini with Prawns,” Linguini with roasted tomatoes, Steak with broccolini and potatoes, and Salmon over orzo pasta and Swiss hard. All beautifully plated and food tasted phenomenal.Our server was lovely, though sometimes we couldn’t hear her because there was a huge party next to us celebrating someone or something. But they were nice, they apologized for being loud. It would be nice if they had a room for big parties but they don’t have the space.Overall experience was great: good food, great atmosphere and customer. Can’t wait to go back!
My girlfriend and I celebrated Father's Day for dinner. The food was amazing. We split the Papardelle al Ragu and the Vitella Romana and the Beet Salad.The meal was wonderful. The service was outstanding.The couple next to us was starting desert as we sat down. The waiter looked at the ladies Tiramisu someone had delivered to her and apologized."That is too small a piece. I will bring you another." A minute later, the owner brought a larger piece to her and apologized profusely for someone bringing a small piece of tiramisu the first time.We enjoyed the wine and cocktails as well.We will definitely be back.
Ordered the Bistecca medium rare. Excellent, done to perfection and we'll seasoned. A little fatty (ribeye) but that equals flavor!!
Best garlic bread ever. This is a gem of a family run Italian restaurant. Hand made pastas, delicious food. Do yourself a favor and dine here.
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?Benvenuti Ristorante
The cocktails were just an excuse. The food at Bienvenuti Ristorante in Walnut Creek is so good every time! Cheese gnocchi? Yes! Pork belly? Yes! Veal? I'm in! Chicken marsala. Let's do it! You can never go wrong here. The service is excellent - Lorenzo is so attentive and took such good care of us. Angela made sure everyone is good to go. And why, oh why, didn't I take a picture with Chef? Oh, no! I didn't take a picture of my new favorite drink?! Vendetta, I'm coming back for youuuuu!!!!
Great intimate spot. Great menu selection, service was excellent, the place was clean. Can believe it took us 4 years to find this little gem. I’m still dreaming of my next trip to enjoy their delightful menu.
Used to be....4 years or so ago, the BEST Italian Restaurant in the Bay area. The last two times we ate there the food was HORRENFOUS! My wife ordered a chicken dish and got a pork...pork that literally couldn't be cut.The menu has changed much for the worse
What a lovely intimate dining atmosphere. Perfect for Valentine's Day! The food, and the dessert were absolutely delicious and delightful, superb and heavenly!
Delicious hand made pasta. The seafood is very tasty and fresh
