    Creekwood is a surprisingly good restaurant despite their unlikely location. It's not situated where you expect to find a restaurant of this quality. The appetizers, entrees and desserts were all very good. A special shout out to whoever curated the wine list. It's excellent and reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

    Love 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!

    Food 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.
