What I can say is that it is a beautiful intimate restaurant. The food was okay.. the entree really saved the whole experience. They were too busy for the amount of people they had working. We waited a very long time for our food. Unfortunately, our waiter was too busy making drinks and trying to attend to many tables. We tried to ask the busser for help but he did not speak English . We felt pretty underwhelmed. Probably would recommend Doppio Zero or Telferic!

Octopus really yummy

This is our family's favorite Italian restaurant in Concord. It's perfect for a dinner, a quick lunch, or simply a drink at the bar. The owner, Habib, always greets us with a smile and takes wonderful care of us. It's so pleasant to feel that welcome. Our little one always gets a small extra treat, which really warms our hearts. Alfredo is also nice and very knowledgeable! The food is delicious, no matter what you order. I usually get the mussels and octopus--both are absolutely yummy. It's definitely one of the best options on the plaza!

Carbonara

Making reservations for Christmas eve dinner was super easy but the website didnt mention a Prix fixe menu for the nights. Know we know. Overall the food was good quality. Braised short ribs were tender and tasty. Chicken carbonara was a bit bland. Salmon was tasty. Soup and salads were delicious. Tiramasu for dessert was super tasty. Worth the visit. Will be back for a regular meal and the normal menu so the wife can try other dishes.

Mista Salad
Davis Y.

Decided to try a new Italian spot in Todos Santos Plaza after living here for about a year. Was able to walk in on a Saturday night and grab a table for two even though it was pretty busy. Started with the caprese and mista salad to share and it was fantastic flavor and great portions. The caprese was a bit plain to me but still okay. I'd probably skip it next time. My wife got the pesto chicken pasta and I got the carbonara. Flavors were incredible and the portion size wasn't your typical "family style" giant bowl - which I appreciated. We finished both plates. Will be going here again!

The reservation was made well in advance. Our families recently gathered to celebrate a special birthday. I believe Juan, a petite and soft-spoken gentleman, was our server's name, as it was shown on our check. First, our group arrived a few minutes early, and Juan, along with another employee, was somewhat rude as they stood by the bar and pointed us to our table. They didn't even walk us over, as most restaurants do. Juan then hurried back to focus on presenting the daily specials. My pet peeve is that Juan should have mentioned the cost of "tonight's specials" so customers wouldn't have to ask. The attitude of 'if you had to ask, you can't afford it' isn't acceptable. He also didn't tell us whether the special was available in half portions -- we had to ask to clarify that he took the order as we intended. The appetizers and main courses were inconsistent. We ordered a wide variety of salads, appetizers, specials, and regular entrees. The most disappointing dish was the lasagna, which arrived very soupy. We were not impressed by our waiter's lack of acknowledgment of our table's special birthday. Our birthday girl's dessert was purchased -- it wasn't even complimentary. It wouldn't have been difficult to add a small candle. Not even a 'Happy Birthday' was written on her dessert plate. It left us all feeling flat from our arrival at the restaurant to the end of our meal. The only enjoyable moment was the live accordion music, which played toward the end of the evening. Our party was a large tab for them that evening. Needless to say, our next family gathering will be at a different place.

Located on busy Willow pass road, this is a great Italian restaurant for family and friends. I loved their bruschetta, which are garlic bread with delicious toppings: tomatoes, olive tapenade, and goat cheese. For your entree, I would recommend their Gamberi: crab meat and jumbo shrimp in a garlic white or red sauce. They also feature a great assortment of desserts, such as the lemon cello: tangy and sweet!

We live in Walnut Creek and dine out often. Want try some where new couple nights ago. Thought give this place a try. Lucky pick for the night! We came to Concord quite often but never went to that corner of the street. Inside was very old fashion Italian deco, and they played Frank Sinatra song through the night which is my son's favorite, he loved it immediately. We started with the beat salad, loved the salad dressing very much. It gave the salad a refreshing kick. My seafood cioppino was topped with fresh crab meat but the clam and mussel was a little dry. My son ordered Carbonara and he said it was perfect. Dessert was excellent, very nice presentation, raspberry sauce was not overly sweet. We also asked to added the Mozart liquor to the coffee. It's my favorite way to drink coffee as the dessert. The server, "V" did exactly what we requested for the coffee. He was very friendly and treated every customer like his family member or close friend. Love the place. Good food, good ambiance, great service and a dash of history. We will visit often.

Our server was great. He was solo and holding down the restaurant. We go here yearly for holiday lunch with the department. Food is always good and I got desser but I ate it before I could take a pic.

Nice restaurant in the Willow Pass area with ample street parking. Restaurant is not that big, but it's big enough where this place need more than one waiter and one helper. The waiter tried his best, but it was a good half hour before we were able to place our order. There was a gentlemen playing live music which made it challenging for conversation. Overall the food quality is very good. The garlic bread was fresh garlic started the meal well, paired with stuff mushroom and carpaccio. For the app, the fish special (Sea Bass) was cooked well but the portion appeared smaller compared to the beef special (rib eye) that was cooked to a perfect medium rare. Their pasta was top notch and flavor was perfect. Their dessert is something not to miss. I suggest pairing whatever dessert with their affogato (my favorite was the panna cotta and tiramisu).

Pesto
Joanne M.

Luna's never fails in the quality of food they serve. We had a wonderful waiter who made us a fresca type drink which was delicious! It began the start of the meal with anticipation of what would be served. Every person enjoyed what they ordered. Only one person would change what they would order the next time we ate here. Let's start. Pesto with pieces of chicken. The person who ordered this lives pesto and makes pesto at home so he knows what truly great pesto taste like. He loved the pesto and cleaned his plate completely, but said, he wished the chicken wasn't added to this pesto dish. Maybe the chicken meat should be on the side or another meat needed to replace the chicken. Perhaps pork or lamb. He would not order this again if chicken was added, but the pesto sauce was so delicious. Meatballs with Linguine This was a big hit with my friend's 7 year old daughter. She ate almost everything and brought the rest home. Normally, she would leave what she didn't like , but not today. I may consider ordering this next time because it is definitely a delicious comfort food I grew up with. Short Ribs If you look at the picture, you can see how delicious it was. The presentation was impressive and the experience eating this was memorable. The person said he would order it again. This person loves meat so if he says he would order it again, you know the dish is worth trying! Pescatore This is a Frutti de Mare type of dish. The tomato sauce base with different types of seafood was wonderful. There was the right amount of each seafood and I enjoyed every bite. I would say this is my comfort food and would order it again. As for the desserts, you can go wrong with any of them. I would have ordered the Creme Brulee,but will order it next time. Luna's Restaurant is consistently good. This is why we like to support it and feel blessed Concord has such an exemplary Italian restaurant! It beats or stands equal to any Italian restaurant in San Francisco. This coming from an Italian Filipino is high praise!

Chicken Picatta
Hope S.

This is one of our favorite local restaurants. In fact my husband proposed to me here so this year we celebrated our anniversary here. The owner, Habib, is so friendly and seems to always be working. He makes sure the service is always top notch. We have never had a bad meal. My husband's favorite entree is the chicken piccata. I usually order the short rib. We love to split an order of mussels as an appetizer along with a salad. The restaurant is small so it never hurst to make a reservation. There is a full bar with seating so if you would like to enjoy a nice dinner alone you can always sit there. This is a great place for a small group or a solo dinner. Go and enjoy, you won't be disappointed. Don't forget to ask for the focaccia bread.

Short Ribs
Tash C.

I really enjoyed my experience here! Came in on a Friday evening. Was fairly empty when we arrived but filled up quickly. It's a small and intimate setting, and also includes a bar. After being there for 20 minutes or so there were already several parties waiting to be seated, so I wouldn't come too late. There was an older gentleman playing an accordion which was loud but felt like it was true Italian style and I got pretty used to it after a while. The food was delicious! I looove the bruschetta! I ordered the short ribs which were super tender and delicious. It included mash and veggies which were also really good. My wife had the calamari appetizer. We weren't the biggest fan of the calamari, batter was a little thick and oddly sweet. But the squid on the inside seemed fresh which was nice. I asked for a wine recommendation with my short ribs and was recommended the Fantini Sangiovese. I'm not a big fan of red but it paired well with the short ribs and it also delivered a nice buzz! lol lastly we got the spumoni dessert. The ice cream was really thick and creamy, the chocolate was rich and the pistachio was delicious. Lastly, the service was amazing! Juan was our server and he's fantastic! He made sure to check in frequently and made our visit really enjoyable! I love his vibe/energy, made our dining experience that much better. I also noticed some other men running meals, who I'm thinking may be the owners. It's really nice to see the owners get out there and help the staff/interact with the guests. You can tell they all really care about their customers. I definitely will be returning here!

Best Experience I've Ever Had at a Restaurant…read more Today is one of the most important days of my life--I got married. I chose to celebrate this special moment with my wife and my daughter at Melo's in Walnut Creek, and I will never forget how they treated us. From the moment we walked in, the staff went above and beyond. The service was not just professional--it was genuinely kind, warm, and full of heart. They made us feel like family. What truly touched me is that they refused to charge us for our meal. In a world where everything is business, this level of generosity and humanity is rare. It wasn't just about the food (which was amazing, by the way), it was about the way they made us feel on a day that means everything to me. To the entire team at Melo's: thank you for making our wedding day even more special. You didn't just serve us food--you gave us a memory we will carry for the rest of our lives. If you're thinking about where to eat in Walnut Creek, don't think twice. This place is not just a restaurant--it's a place with heart.

Rich, comforting, flavorful, and exactly what you want Italian comfort food to taste like. My daughter absolutely loves the pizza... and honestly, so do I lol! The crust, the cheese, the flavors... so good!! :P This is the kind of place where the table gets quiet for a few minutes because everyone's too busy happily eating. Sauce on the plates, pizza crumbs everywhere, happy kid energy, and zero regrets ordering extra food. Nomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnom!!!!

I looked around and found this spot tucked away in Pleasant Hill. Decided to take a chance and I'm glad I did. First I went with my mom who's on the wiser side and they had a private party on the side with all the low top tables. Without us asking they grabbed us a table and set it up for us so she could sit.

CONS: - None I stand firm in my 5 stars. This place is now a fave of mine for sure. Highly recommended!

Even with the place buzzing, he stayed attentive, efficient, and completely on top of everything without ever making us feel rushed or forgotten. We had a reservation and arrived right on time, made even sweeter by the rare miracle of snagging a parking spot directly out front. The hostess greeted us warmly and confirmed our reservation, but then another hostess -- I assume -- stepped in and instructed her to seat us at table #13(that wasn't the actual # but it may as well have been) The tone alone told me everything I needed to know... and unfortunately, my instincts were right. I have a strong aversion to tables near bathrooms, server stations, or high-traffic areas, and of course this table was planted directly across from the silverware replenishment station. UUGGHHH. Constant movement, clanking silverware, staff traffic not exactly the ambiance I had hoped for. I almost asked for the empty table beside it, but for whatever reason, I let it slide this time. Thankfully, the rest of the evening more than redeemed itself. The Caesar salad was crisp and fresh, the sour dough bread is served hot with soft garlic butter, the chicken piccata was rich, bright, and comforting, and the Mizithra cheese pasta coated in brown butter was pure decadence. Then came the spumoni ice cream , combined pistachio, cherry and chocolate flavors the perfect sweet finale to the meal. A full three-course dinner for $30 that actually tastes this good? Practically unheard of these days. Despite my seating disappointment, the service and food absolutely earned another visit from me. Next time, though, I'll definitely convey my seating preferences.

Interior is interesting, it's like you're dining at someone's home? Street parking or there are lots nearby with the first hours or so free.

Marinara was standard -potato-leek puree (4/5): came in a cute little cup to drink out of, good flavor -gamberoni (5/5): prawns were a good size and perfectly grilled. The sauce was a good addition -polette (4/5): meatballs were juicy and the pesto was flavorful and creamy. Interesting thing to have as an appetizer though -fettuccini carne (5/5): I always have an internal struggle about getting a red sauce or a cream sauce, so this was the perfect option as a creamy red sauce pasta. Serving size was good, and there was also plenty of meat and mushrooms, which I loved! Flavor was great! -lamp chop (4/5): good grilled flavor, but one was slightly too raw for our liking so we had to send it back to the kitchen to cook it some more. Our waitress was very understanding though! The mashed potatoes and veggies were also good. -tiramisu (3.5/5): good flavor, but there was wayyy more cream than ladyfinger, so the textural balance was off. And I love cream! -peanut butter chocolate brownie (4/5): really good but also pretty sweet.
