Best Italian Restaurants in Pleasant Hills

Very nice experience made reservations and were seated a bit early and were in a very comfortable booth arrangement. Our waitress Bailey greeted us and brought water and bread. We looked over the menu and found it difficult to choose with so many Italian dishes. After ordering appetizers and wine we ordered our main course. It arrived fairly promptly and all was well made and delicious. For dessert we split a tiramisu with coffee and espresso. Everything was enjoyable the ambiance was fine as many families were assembled for a thanksgiving meal. Our waitress was very attentive, friendly and proficient. Only drawback was the management not offering a military discount for the relatively few living war veterans. Highly recommend!

Very friendly and welcoming staff, lots of teamwork and overall wonderful experience!

Terrance was a very attentive excellent server. The chopped salad was delicious with the homemade bread. Got orecchiette which has such a great blend of chicken, garlic, squash and pasta. Our other entree was Cioppino filled with scallops, swordfish, shrimp, mussels & calamari-- Unbelievable!! Portions are perfect. Especially love the option to have half orders on pasta. A true asset to Downtown- highly recommend.

Great experience, great food, great atmosphere! We celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary and followed up the meal with a show downtown. The arugula and cheese appetizer was a great contrast of flavors and temperatures, the salad and pasta courses were delicious, and our sea bass and shrimp special was succulent and flavorful. The staff was very friendly and helped us make it to the show on time and the anniversary dessert was tasty!

This place is fantastic! Everything from the small plates (risotto), to main courses (mushroom pasta & rack of lamb) were excellent. The server steered us in just the right direction for wines that paired perfectly with our dinners. I also noticed that every meal that came out of the kitchen was closely inspected but the manager to make sure they were on the mark (and they were). This was an anniversary dinner for my wife and me, and we could not have chosen better! Highly recommend it!
