Best Italian Restaurants in Martinez

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!

The Swedish meatballs were a wonderful wintry comfort food dish.

The ambience and the view were lovely! The furnishings and the spacious feel of the restaurant made my time with my cousin feel intimate, warm, and cozy. Most of all, the staff were friendly, energetic, very attentive, and warmly interactive. We loved our entire lunch experience and will definitely be back!!!

One of our favorite neighborhood restaurants. Intimate interior dining and a covered exterior. Incredibly friendly staff, always welcoming and super accommodating. Bartenders can craft up anything and the menu is great. Winter salad was delicious, a new ragu pastas dish really flavorful and generous portions, good wine list to go with the southern Italian cuisine and the desserts about be missed. Lemon sorbet for a lighter side, tiramisu and cakes for sharing. The cappuccinos are perfect as well.

Excellent restaurant! Everyone is so polite and friendly! Food is great and very tasty! We have visited many times and every time we are very happy!
