Montesacro Pinseria - Walnut Creek

"Atmosphere is nice. But please don’t make your guests wait 7 minutes in the entrance- only 2 tables were busy, just as a note. I guess it was too early and there was just 1 waiter. The service was good after, helpful employees. Pizza was fantastic, very flavorful and crispy. Pasta carbonara was fine. The cauliflower salad was very interesting, tasty. But- never serve 2nd mimosa which is twice smaller in size than what you served me before. It should not be a quarter of a glass… especially for $15. Loved hearing Italian language however, missing Italy. Good place, maybe visited at the wrong time. Pizza was good."

"Everything about this place is spot on. The owners are unparalleled when it comes to quality and style. They have an expensive but impressive menu filled with locally sourced and perfectly presented dishes. They’ve been willing to accommodate gluten-free and other necessities with allergies and autoimmune conditions and their staff remembers details and preferences. Highly recommend for a special occasion, date night, solo or for a small gathering."

"The food here is good, however it was not my favorite. We had the Octopus (Polpo), Brussel Sprouts (Cavoletti Fritti), Cacio E Pepe, and Tormarancia Pinsa. The Pinsa here is essentially a pizza with a different dough, I feel like if I was in the mood for one I would prefer a normal pizza over the Pinsa after trying one. The octopus was overcooked and did not have much flavor. The brussel sprouts were my favorite, but I also feel like those could use some more sauce. Lastly the cacio e Pepe was overhyped, but is good. The bartender was amazing and made the night. The atmosphere is good, but I probably wouldn’t recommend this place over others in the area."

"i had high expectations for the food because the menu looks really authentic. the carbonara was meh, and was not served hot. needed more salt and more sauce overall. the amatriciana was better. the tiramisu was very good. i would not come back for pasta."

"OVERALL: 5/5 Food/Drinks: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Have tried both SF location. Discovered this place when I was looking for a place for my book club meeting in WC. My friends loved it. We had - Cavolfiori - Cauliflower salad - Cavoletti Fritti - Brussels Sprouts - Suppli Al Telefono - Tomato & Mozzarella risotto croquettes - SeaBass - San Lorenzo Pinsa - Centocelle Pinsa Dessert - Pistachio Pinsa - Pannacotta - Flourless Chocolate Cake Each answer everything was delicious and there was no a crumb left on our plates. Somehow my East Bay friends were not aware of this place and they were excited to come back with their families 10-10-2023 - Dinner - Table for 5"
