Since then, Montecatini Ristorante has become a place for "regulars" to enjoy a true Italian dining experience. We are a loud and bustling environment where many have come to say we're like family. All our dishes are meticulously prepared with the finest and freshest ingredients. Our pastas and entrees are served piping hot from our kitchen to your table. Montecatini has been awarded "Best of East Bay" for Best Italian Restaurant in the East Bay Area by Diablo Magazine for several years. As of January 2022 our chef, Ermes Paulin, has passed ownership down to two of Montecatini's long-time employees, Terrance and Taylor George.

    Great experience with a no frills menu focused on prime rib. The shrimp appetizer was great wiht cocktail sauce that had the perfect zing. Prime rib was presented as perfect medium rare. Ceaser and sides were classic. Their bread budding was tasty, and rich. They do expect to expand their menu, but for the value, you cannot beat the experience.

    Everyone is very friendly, helpful and polite. The grounds are beautiful and relaxing. The ambiance is just wonderful. We are members and have brought in numerous guests over the year. Everyone has been impressed with the wine and the food. Nick, the chef, does an amazing job. I highly recommend Shadowbrook Winery.

    We had reservations early (3:45 pm) on a Monday afternoon. A friend recommended this restaurant and my husband came with his work group. We had the outdoor patio to ourselves. Service was prompt and perfectly timed. The food was delicious. The gratuity was included in our bill. I think the price with the gratuity, drinks and don’t dinner and dessert was very reasonable.
