- MMiriamNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoI can’t think of a single thing bad to say about the black cod I ordered. It was perfectly prepared. It was absolutely perfect with a glass of Sancerre. Attentive easy-going wait staff. I will return just for that dish again. Thank you!More infoCreekwood RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Italian• Berkeley•4.6
- TTimmyVIPCalifornia Central Coast •4 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoLove this spot. As a person who has lived in Italy, I will say that Walnut Creek has many fine Italian restaurants, but nothing as authentic as Montesacro. They serve Roman style Italian food, from Cacio e Pepe to Carbonara to the delicious Pinsa pizzas (Roman style square pizzas,). They've got a great wine list as well, and the service is always very friendly and attentive. I'm a fan!More infoMontesacro Walnut CreekPrice: Expensive• Italian• Walnut Creek•4.7

- AArdathRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •18 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 27, 2024Food is inventive and delicious . It has a bistro vibe and is very cosy. Service was attentive but since the space is small it felt a bit rushed. The shared plates are generous. Don’t miss the oven fired bread with tapenade and the arancini.More infoBack to BackPrice: Expensive• Pizzeria• Nob Hill•4.8
