Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Pleasant Hill

Service was wonderful and the food so well prepared and delicious. I had one of the best chocolate cakes I've ever had for dessert.

This restaurant has been on our list for a while and we are glad we finally made it. The menu is a tad small, but they clearly go for quality over quantity. With our group of 4, all of our dishes were outstanding and appreciate them offering gluten free items. It was the first time in almost 15 years that I was able to enjoy gluten free bread at the table (the dipping oil was amazing). I had the fettuccini al fungi (with GF pasta) and it was light but with so much flavor. We were not as excited about the desserts as we were our dinner. We ordered the torta cioccolato and I suppose we expected a rich flourless chocolate torte but I re-read this to be a cake, so our error for that. The panna cotta was more jello like than the familiar smooth and creamy ones we have always had. The cocktails were also fantastic (must try the Aero Mexico). We will definitely return to Montesacro!

2nd time here with same friend who flew into OAK in Sept. and this evening. heard great things about it before, and it is true!

Pleasant experience. Ate on patio even though it was a cold evening. Our table enjoyed the cioppino. Lamb shanks and bolognese. Branzino had too many bones.

Great food and great service ! The Calabrese flatbread was delicious and the charcuterie board was too! Just wish you got more for the price but it’s Napa! The pickled grapes were interesting to try! Definitely get the alpha omega Chardonnay or an old fashioned ! And most importantly Alma was an amazing server !!
