Our favorite restaurant! Great authentic Italian food from the bread and Italian salsa to the homemade desserts! Perfect place for romantic meal with good wine or martini.
Met some friends for dinner here. Our waiter Giuseppe made us feel like family. Very personable and welcoming. The meal was delicious. We will definitely be back for more.
So wonderful to enjoy authentic, clean, simple Italian food in Walnut Creek. The food here is so much better than other local haunts that have been around many years. And the staff is not just knowledgeable, they are engaging and professional. Enjoyed the fried calamari, and then the roasted cauliflower for apps. Main dishes shared included homemade pappardelle with Italian meatballs, marinara and other mixed meats. I can't wait to go back.....
Our dinner at Benvenuti was wonderful. The food was amazing and the service was fantastic. Thank you Angela and family for a great experience
Went to dinner tonight and we loved everything about your lovely restaurant. From the waitstaff, to the dinner and everything and everyone in between. Thank you for such a great evening. We will be back for sure. Forgot to mention that the pasta is delicious but your salmon was amazing!!!!!
I love this restaurant. Everyone at the table love their meals. Angela was very welcoming and the place looks wonderful. Needless to say, the food is also exceptional.
This is an absolutely amazing restaurant. Fantastic food, excellent service, and a wide variety of tasty cocktails from the full bar make it an ideal place to take and impress a date, treat a loved one, or gather with friends. On top of that it's a great place to get gentle advice on your pronunciation of Italian food names. 10/10, would wear bow tie there again.
The place was packed tonight. Easy to understand why. Quite possibly the best calamari and lasagna I've had in my life! Seriously... So good, in fact, that we were willing to overlook the vanilla gelato desert, which tasted like frozen evaporated milk. The cannoli desert was a real winner. We will definitely be back!
Clean, friendly atmosphere! Great food ! Always fresh & delicious!
I stopped by tonight to drop off some items to the owner, Angela, and stayed to enjoy a plate of her pasta. I lived in Italy for a year, so I can be picky about pasta. I have to say, this was one of the best pasta dishes I have had....Fettuccine al Salmone...fresh, warm, delicious, just the right blend of textures and flavors, plus the pasta was home-made. And I enjoyed watching Angela work the room, it's clear she loves what she does, and enjoys her customers. This is a win-win restaurant...Thanks Angela!

Sharing with you a hidden gem in Walnut Creek downtown..... Sicilian family owned and operated. Homemade pasta and traditional family recipes. In our opinion, it id the best that Walnut Creek can offer outside of Sicily. Don't believe me?... Go try it and prove me wrong😋
Benvenuti Ristorante
Came due to the good reviews and was not disappointed. Service was friendly and attaintive. The burrata was so delicious, fresh! The seafood pasta also had fresh tasting ingredients, al dente pasta and delicious sauce. The veal was ok, a bit on the tough side. The pumpkin cheesecake was good!
Amazing establishment with fabulous service and delightful food! We have gone a couple of times. The service is always impeccable and the food is so good. Anything that you order is sure to be great! The owners run this small delight and they work tirelessly to ensure that everything goes well. When we went back, the owner recognized us and was so friendly and kind. This is definitely my favorite spot in Walnut Creek for food…you should definitely try it.
Delicious hand made pasta. The seafood is very tasty and fresh
My girlfriend and I celebrated Father's Day for dinner. The food was amazing. We split the Papardelle al Ragu and the Vitella Romana and the Beet Salad.
The meal was wonderful. The service was outstanding.
The couple next to us was starting desert as we sat down. The waiter looked at the ladies Tiramisu someone had delivered to her and apologized.
"That is too small a piece. I will bring you another." A minute later, the owner brought a larger piece to her and apologized profusely for someone bringing a small piece of tiramisu the first time.
We enjoyed the wine and cocktails as well.
We will definitely be back.
Best garlic bread ever. This is a gem of a family run Italian restaurant. Hand made pastas, delicious food. Do yourself a favor and dine here.
Ordered the Bistecca medium rare. Excellent, done to perfection and we'll seasoned. A little fatty (ribeye) but that equals flavor!!
