Additional Information

Diablo Review:


This restaurant has been the Italian standard-bearer in Contra Costa for more than 30 years. Its interpretation of Italian cuisine through local seasonal produce, by chef and co-owner Peter Chastain, is always pure and restrained. His flavorful risottos aren’t boosted by cream, and his light gnocchi and crisp pizzas will have you making repeat reservations. Wine director and fellow owner John Rittmaster keeps the wine list stocked with such treasures as a fine Bastianich Friulano that’s a dream with seafood, and beautifully aged Marsala. The waitstaff is exceptionally good. Lunch Mon.–Sat., dinner daily.
