Additional Information

Diablo Review:


Michael and Drinda Pennini opened this restaurant in 2003, just around the corner from their long-standing Pennini’s pizzeria in the Moraga Shopping Center. Tender asparagus wrapped in prosciutto is a highlight of the appetizer selections, which also include standard chicken wings and artichoke dip. Executive chef Patrick Vahey keeps plenty of traditional Italian entrées on the menu—the penne rustica with chicken and mushrooms is a standout of the dozen or so pasta plates. A salmon special, breast of duck, and three kinds of veal are other menu mainstays, while prime rib is served on Fridays and Saturdays. Delivery is offered to nearby Lamorinda residences. Dinner Tues.–Sun.

Price: $$$
