" A lovely evening spent at Montesacro! The atmosphere was cozy, with soft lighting that created a delightful ambiance for dinner. We started our meal with the antipasti platter, which was delicious, but the real star was the Pinsa. It truly had that unique texture and flavor that only comes from authentic preparation. The service was friendly and attentive, and my only critique would be the smaller portion sizes relative to the cost. Still, I would certainly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" During our visit to Montesacro, we were impressed by the authenticity of the cuisine. The atmosphere had a charming Italian flair, making it a perfect place for a special dinner. The Pinsa was a top highlight—light and crunchy. We appreciated the knowledge of our server, who helped us select dishes that paired perfectly with our wines. A minor point of contention would be the portion sizes; they were smaller than expected for the price. All in all, a pleasant experience worth revisiting. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night we celebrated our anniversary at Montesacro, and it was a wonderful night! The food was delectable, and the Pinsa is perhaps the best I've tasted outside of Italy! The atmosphere was perfect for our special occasion—romantic and cozy without being cloying. Service was excellent, with staff being attentive but not intrusive. My only suggestion would be to offer larger portions or shareable sizes for the price, but we still had a fantastic time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, just wow! Montesacro delivers an unforgettable dining experience. Everything from the service to the ambiance was fantastic! We tried to sample a little bit of everything, including their Pinsa and various pasta dishes. Each dish was bursting with flavor! The Chef clearly understands Italian cuisine's authenticity. While the dishes were slightly on the pricey side, the quality justified every cent. I would recommend Montesacro to anyone who wants a real taste of Italy in Walnut Creek! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was highly recommended Montesacro for its authentic flavors, and I must say it definitely lived up to the hype! The Pinsa was ethereal, and we couldn't get enough of it. The atmosphere was lively yet romantic, making it perfect for our anniversary dinner. Our server was attentive and offered great recommendations. The dessert, a delightful lemon tart, was the cherry on top of a wonderful meal. However, the portions were a tad smaller than expected for the price point. Overall, I would absolutely come back to experience it again! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic dining experience! We visited Montesacro Pinseria on a Saturday night and were amazed by the atmosphere. It's small but beautifully decorated, creating an intimate ambiance perfect for a date night. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and our server guided us excellently through the menu. We tried the Cacio e Pepe and the Pinsa, both of which were authentic and delicious! Every bite transported me back to my time in Italy. The only slight downside was that the portions could have been a bit larger, but the quality made up for it. I highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an incredible dining experience! We were blown away by the quality of the food and the authenticity of the dishes. The Pinsa was like nothing we've ever had before—light, crispy, and topped with fresh ingredients. The pasta dishes were equally impressive, with balanced flavors that transported me back to my travels in Italy. The service was top-notch, attentive without being overbearing. I truly appreciate how they made us feel welcomed! While the prices are on the higher side, the overall experience was worth every penny. I would recommend Montesacro Pinseria to anyone seeking an authentic Italian experience. " (*Curated Review*)
