We are here to celebrate our daughter’s birthday and it didn’t disappoint! The restaurant is so nicely decorated and appears high class. However there’s no dress code. I noticed some customers dressed up and some others were in short. The atmosphere is quite casual and I love it! We ordered a pizza, Caesar salad, fried calamari , and a seafood pasta. All are very good! Food was served very quickly and the waiter was very attentive and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely come back again!

A group of 39 guests and I celebrated a friend’s birthday on a busy Sat night. I anticipated the food and service was going to be secondary (or even mediocre) to the party festivities. Wow, was I delightfully surprised! The staff was accommodating, timely with the food, which was really good, and no one left hungry! A fantastic evening!

Delightful evening with guests.. made reservations and the table was ready when we reached. Complimentary hot bread with olive oil and balsamic. Server was courteous and no pressure to order. Best was the manager stopped by to check on us.. Great selections on menu – food and wine. Separate menu for specials and Cocktails. We started with cocktails – old fashioned, pina colada and martini. Starters with calamari and soup. Main course had pizza and salmon with sides of cauliflower, mashed potatoes. Topped off with Tiramisu and chocolate cake.. lovely experience and be back.

Finally tried this place for lunch. Seated quickly. The waitress was attentive. Bread came out with the Regina salad. The salad was different for me, considering the couscous, but very tasty. Large portion so we shared it. He ordered the lasagna which was also a surprisingly big portion. A little underwhelming in the flavor department and there was a soft, almost creamy cheese on top that we couldn’t identify.

Easy to walk here from the Broadway Plaza Shops in Downtown Walnut Creek. Very conveniently located with indoor and outdoor seating as well as a large bar area that serves happy hour on weeknights.

Rita was very friendly. She was always smiling when she talked and I loved that the most! The other staff didn’t acknowledge us when we passed them by. Food was good and dessert was yummy too!

We got lucky with the weather as we sat outside, to enjoy dinner with a party of 12.

We came here last night for my birthday dinner. (Early dinner) our server was so amazing. She didn’t stand around talking as many friendly servers do at times. She was respectful of our dining experience and kept our water and tea classes full. We never had to call her over, it was like she was a ninja of servers. The food was perfectly cooked. My friend got the Ravioli and I got the Rigatoni. I honestly couldn’t decide if I liked his or mine more. As it was my birthday I had to have a sweet treat and this restaurant has the best tiramisu ever! So light not overly sweet. Melts in your mouth with subtle espresso flavors.
