Best Seasonal Restaurants in Pinole

This was our first time coming to the restaurant and we will definitely be back. We came on Christmas Eve for their special menu. It was absolutely delicious. I had the clam chowder, Chilean sea bass with gorgonzola risotto and cheesecake for dessert.

They open a back room on Friday and Saturday and it was quiet! Our server was prompt at figuring out our needs. The food was excellent and the coffee surprisingly good.

Pleasantly surprised, 1st time for us. food was outstanding. Tony did a very nice job serving us. We would request him on our next visit. Ambience was throwback to compliment the architecture. We just loved it! Thank you so much. Joe and JULIA.

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!

This was our first time at this restaurant and we were pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent, as was the service. I would highly recommend this location.
