Pinole Restaurants

Bella Sienna remains the only true, fine dining establishment in the Benicia/Vallejo area. It's our go to place when we want a four star meal with a view. The cocktails are the finest around. Our server Valentino, who we have encountered multiple times, is knowledgeable, witty, charming and knows just how to please demanding customers like us.

Went for my boyfriends birthday, as a first timer it most definitely won’t be our last! The service from Ian was AMAZING of itself but the food was perfect! Such an awesome experience and we cannot wait to come back with friends and family.

It was a cold, rainy and raw evening so entering Via del Corso was a welcoming relief to the harsh external conditions. The enthusiastic and genuine smile of the hostess instantly made me forget about the weather. Claudia, my waiter, was exceptional: Thoughtful, attentive, very knowledgeable of the wine list & menu and responsive. I ordered the Lattuga (Little Gem) salad, Ravioli Stuffed with Braised Oxtail and paired it with a bottle of 2019 Brunello Montalcino, a perfectly structured Brunello. I finished dinner with the delicious Budino Di Cioccolato, which paired nicely with my Brunello. After such an exquisite dinner, I bravely faced the rain and high winds as I waited for my Uber. Verdict: Don’t let bad weather stop you from enjoying a wonderful dinner at your favorite restaurants in the EB. Make that reservation; call your Uber or Lyft; and enjoy yourselves while supporting our fine restaurants.

One of our party has food limitations and prefers firm fish, dishes without alliums and low to moderate spices. The only main course on the menu available with those restrictions was the Kingfish and , at $45, it was overpriced for its value. Other than that the rest of the food, the service, atmosphere and overall experience was excellent. It’s probably our fault for not checking the menu but, as this was a special occasion, the reservation was made in advance.

Excellent service, they say that you eat with your eyes first and the dishes are excellently presented and the food is delicious, ten out of ten...
