Montecatini is a stable for Walnut Creek as it opened October 17, 1989, the day of the Loma Prieta earthquake in California.

All our dishes are meticulously prepared with the finest and freshest ingredients. Our pastas and entrees are served piping hot from our kitchen to your table.

As of January 2022 our chef, Ermes Paulin, has passed ownership down to two of Montecatini's long-time employees, Terrance and Taylor George. They plan to keep Montecatini thriving on its "old school" vibe while enhancing the cocktail and wine program. So come in and experience Montecatini for yourself and see what a true hidden gem we are!

    It was Thanksgiving Day at 7:15pm and we were not sure what to expect. It was an amazing experience. The restaurant was super busy but you can see the staff taking care of business. The valet wished us a happy Thanksgiving, we arrived and checked in. I was a little worried, but within 5 min my cell phone rang and we were seated. The host that sat was very friendly. Our waiter Abel was the absolute best! He and the wait staff made our night extra special. The water and drinks were replaced quickly and the food was amazing!!! My husband was asking if we can book now for 2025. Thank you!!

    We visited Ruth Chris for our Thanksgiving dinner, and we enjoyed the food and the professional, friendly service. The Thanksgiving dinner with sides and dessert was excellent! The restaurant has a dress code, which we also appreciated, and all of the customers were dressed nicely and there were no hats at the table. It was so relaxing and it seemed that everyone having dinner was enjoying their experience.

    Great food! Party of 8 for a Thanksgiving dinner. We had a few traditional meals and a few non turkey dinners. Cesar salad was fabulous, bread yummy, pasta delicious. Yams were so good. Cranberry quality tart and scrumptious. Turkey moist and tasty. Ham holiday meal also very very good! Service very attentive. We were not rushed through a meal although they were packed.

    Really love this place in the summer… but it was still really nice for a winter birthday celebration. Vibe and drinks were on point… first time having something other than starters and the entree was delicious.
