    I can’t think of a single thing bad to say about the black cod I ordered. It was perfectly prepared. It was absolutely perfect with a glass of Sancerre. Attentive easy-going wait staff. I will return just for that dish again. Thank you!

    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.
