Incredibly busy on a Saturday night but it was worth it! It's a cozy little restaurant and service was good. Our table of 4 started with the homemade garlic rolls and meatballs. They were both so delicious and the garlic rolls are a MUST try. We also had the Carne pizza which was really good, definitely could have gone for the personal size instead of a medium for us. Of our 3 pastas, the tomato cream rigatoni with prosciutto was my favorite. The pesto spaghetti and chicken fettuccine Alfredo weren't as flavorful, but still good. I think the appetizers and pizza were my favorite :)

The food was great! They have a lunch selection that you can choose from. The service is excellent and they work as a team, I love the cozy feeling this restaurant has! Keep them in mind when you are going to Walnut Creek!

Fantastic service. Very generous portions. Enough for vegetarian and clean / balanced ambiance for a casual restaurant. Classic Italian fare in casual setting. Reasonably priced for a premium downtown location.

First, the food was excellent, and the wait staff was divine. I highly recommend this restaurant because of its friendliness to large families, its cuisine, which is not pre-prepared, the soup, and its overall positive vibe. I enjoyed every minute I was there. Kayla, Who served as hostess and manager at this establishment the day I was there, went out of her way to make me feel comfortable Now, I want to tell you to quote a famous line from one of my favorite radio programs: "And now for the rest of the story," I've been to Walnut Creek many times with my family. We have stopped at this restaurant multiple times to grab a bite or meal, but I'm writing this review because of what Kayla, the manager, did for me that night. You see, I went into the Apple Store to have my phone repaired, and if you have ever been in the store, you know it could take from 30 minutes to our two hour two hours to get anything done. Well, it was about 5 p.m., and they repaired my phone, and I returned to my car; a Tesla is an important fact because to operate my car, I needed my phone, and I did not know that Apple wiped all the information off the phone and I had to restore everything. I get to my car. I could not open it, and since it was about 530, now closer to 6 o'clock, everything around me was closing down. I went into the Starbucks stack to use the phone, but of course, Starbucks didn't have a phone I could use. They were getting ready to close, and other stores were also closing. I went into this restaurant. Kayla must've seen the panic on my face, and the first thing she said was to calm down and that I could use their phone to call my wife so she could bring her phone and her key for the Tesla. Kayla was very accommodating to a total stranger. She had me sit in the restaurant because it was raining outside and the temperatures were dropping. She brought me a glass of water and asked if I needed anything else. She checked on me throughout my time waiting there. Kayla and her staff went out of their way to ensure the welfare of others--and it wasn't just me. I saw them engaged with families; older adults and one disabled couple were all treated with respect while I was waiting. I can only describe it as saying as a former member of the US Marine Corps. They represented the actions of the values that make this country great. It was such a wonderful feeling to have. I ordered a small plate, the bruschetta with prosciutto, and a glass of Pinot Noir while I waited. it was delicious. If you go to this restaurant and see Kayla and her staff, please remember this story

This place is the best! I had been to tomatina several years ago but had forgotten about it until we met Fred who was handing out free samples downtown. He was so nice, and gave us a coupon for free garlic bread! The pasta was so delicious that my Mom and I made plans to visit the following week. They had a special for $5 frozen cocktails so I enjoyed a peach bellini which was great. Fred was there and introduced us to the manager, who was great and made us feel taken care of. The garlic bread as fantastic. The lunch special is incredibly reasonably priced specially for how much food you get. I got rigatoni with tomato cream sauce and a cesar salad. All under $13! Fantastic! Love this place and will definitely be coming back!!!!

Great prices, nice outdoor space and very friendly service. One of the better happy hours in Walnut Creek. Also, keep an eye out for their lunch special. Lots of options and you can get a starter and entree until 4pm M-F. I recommend you give Tomatina a chance, if you haven't already.
