Montecatini in Walnut Creek is one of those old-school Italian spots that never disappoints. The ambiance has a “Goodfellas” vibe—classic, cozy, and full of character, with a timeless feel that makes you feel like you’re stepping into a traditional Italian trattoria. The food here is outstanding, with rich flavors and great attention to detail. Their specials are always worth trying, especially the swordfish and duck—both are standouts that showcase the restaurant’s commitment to quality. The portions are generous, and every dish feels like a true labor of love. Whether you’re a regular or a first-timer, Montecatini is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates authentic, delicious Italian food in a warm, inviting atmosphere.
We had high hopes for Montecatini, but unfortunately, our experience was beyond disappointing. We came to celebrate a birthday, expecting a special and enjoyable evening, but it turned out to be the worst dining experience we’ve ever had. The ambiance was terrible – the atmosphere felt chaotic rather than welcoming. We were seated next to the loudest table in the restaurant, which made it impossible to have a normal conversation. Despite the noise being disruptive to everyone nearby, the management made no effort to address the situation. We had explicitly informed the host and the server that it was a birthday celebration and requested a dessert with a candle, but they completely disregarded this simple request. It felt like they couldn’t care less about making our occasion memorable. To top it all off, we paid full price, including gratuity, for this miserable experience. No apologies, no accommodations – just indifference from start to finish. I won’t be coming back, and I’d advise anyone looking for a pleasant dining experience to avoid this place. Montecatini, you seriously need to work on your service and attention to customer needs.
My wife and I had our first date here 30 years ago Dec 1993. It was great then and still great today. Escargot, veal scallopino, and sole were great. The homemade blueberry cheesecake made a great ending to our meal. Of course, we will be back. Thanks to Angel, our waiter, for excellent service!
Everything is always amazing. The scalpels are always perfectly cooked and the best I have ever had. The chicken with mushrooms is great and always a favorite. Definitely go and try the food!
We made reservations and came for Valentine's Day and also our 1 year wedding anniversary and it was an amazing experience. They handed me a rose for Valentine's Day and sprinkled some really cute heart shaped glitter on the table for us (I think for our anniversary, it was a really sweet touch). We got a mocktail and the minestrone soup to start, which were both really Delicious. Then, we got the Ciopinno and Gamberi scampi which both did not disappoint. The staff were friendly and helpful the entire way through as well. We ended with tiramisu which is house made and absolutely incredible, and a latte and tea. The ambience in this restaurant felt very European and I really enjoyed it.
