Best Italian Restaurants in Pinole

This was my first time dining at Bella Sienna. Bella Siena is being added to the dining rotation. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We had the crab cakes, lobster ravioli, filet mignon special and fruit cobbler. Everything was a delicious.

Delicious pizzas and salads and the roasted Brussels sprouts are especially good. And the restaurant felt festive. We are so happy that 3.14 is back!

Via del Corso has become a favorite spot of ours over the past few years; first as we visited Berkeley, and now as we’ve become residents. One of our top choices when hosting out of town guests. The restaurant delivers a consistent dining experience with a menu reflecting the freshest of ingredients available. You will always find reliable standbys, such as Mary’s Chicken Breast, on the menu. In addition, a fine selection of house-made pastas, meat and fish entrees; not to mention vegetarian options. As we often do, my wife and I sat at the chef’s counter, allowing us to observe the meal preparation. Tonight we went with the swordfish entree, which was excellent. We never hesitate to quiz our server about their recommendations; they tend to be spot-on. It is refreshing to find a restaurant that has earned a reputation for treating their staff well; obvious by the very low turnover amongst the chefs and servers. We’ll return again and again!

Festive and delicious. No wonder the place was so crowded on a Monday evening! Especially appreciative that we were able to sit a great table in comfy chairs by the piano area. Beet/mango/fennel/etc. salad & seafood risotto were outstanding, as was the service.

Excellent food, as always. This is my go-to restaurant with guests because the food and atmosphere are reliably welcoming. The staff are hardworking and pleasant.
