Pomodoro pasta
Chris C.

Once again I was traveling on business and we were walking by and heard a man playing the accordion inside. We made plans for the next night and weren't disappointed. The interior has both open areas as well as tucked away window seats. It had a simple Italian ambiance. The owner was very engaged with us and shared his excitement for an upcoming cook off with a chef from asan Francisco. He explained the menu he planned to serve with such passion. We started off with the grilled octopus which was perfectly cooked. I had the lamb shank and my friends had different pasta dishes. Everything was well done and elegantly plated. We fished with two desserts also very nicely presented. We left feeling special as the owner took great appreciation in our conversation and even walked us out. A very nice experience

Lamb Shank
Bobby W.

Finally got in here to tried the food. Possibly the most opposite experience I ever had with a restaurant. I have to eat my words from my first experience. Great Italian style restaurant, small and intimate. The service was great, the owner himself was serving and shaking hands with the customers. The rest of the staff were fantastic, and the entire experience was smooth and enjoyable. I ordered were lamb shank, lined with a bed of mash potatoes, and veggies, with the most delicious gravy. I ate the whole thing in about ten mins. Carbonara and Lobster raviolis were ordered as well. Both were excellent, but the lamb shank was the best in my opinion.

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
Kevin K.

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!

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.

Gamberi
Richard H.

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!

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).

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.

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!

I had made dinner reservations ahead of time. When we arrived we were warmly welcomed and seated right away. The inside had a nice bar and tablecloth covered tables giving off a classy yet cozy atmosphere. We were seated by the window in a cozy and more private space. It was a lovely spot. Our server brought us cold water and menus to look at. While we were looking at the menu, we were brought warm bread and butter. My husband decided to order the Moroccan Beef Tagine and I ordered the pescatore with fettuccine. I don't care too much for salmon and asked if they could please omit it. They offered to give me more shrimp and mussels, which was very nice. I really appreciated that. I'm so glad we made reservations, because the restaurant filled up fast. I definitely recommend reservations when coming here. It's a popular place for the locals. Our food arrived quickly. I was offered freshly grated Parmesan cheese for my pasta. My husband loved his Moroccan beef. I tried it and it was delicious and had so much flavor. My pasta wasn't the best, but just okay. The sauce was very bland, and I had to add a lot of salt to make it taste more flavorful. The pasta was overcooked and not al dente. The worst part was the shrimp. The shrimp were overly cooked and hard to chew. The mussels and clams were very good, though. I would have mentioned this to our waiter but I didn't want to be late to our concert. We didn't heave a lot of time to waste so I ate about half of my dish and made sure to eat all the mussels and clams. If we had more time, I would have asked if I could try something else and I'm sure they would have accommodated me. The staff were very friendly and kind. I would definitely come back and try one of their Moroccan dishes. When I read the review for this restaurant, prior to coming, many people commented on how good the Moroccan dishes were. I can see why, because my husband Moroccan beef Tagine was so flavorful. If we are ever in the area again, we will give Fiore another try.

My family came here a few weeks ago and we were so impressed!…read more It's funny because just by looking at the place from the outside, it looks like an Olive Garden type spot in terms of dining experience, but when you come inside you notice it's a much more luxe looking restaurant. Good for date night, girls night, or family. Very versatile! We ate on the patio which worked great as we have a 3 year old who was having a tough time staying still and being quiet. My husband and I didn't have incredibly high expectations for the food. Not sure why, but we figured it would be good but average. But man, we were wrong! Our pastas were some of the best I've had in a loooong time. My husband got the pomodoro which you could just tell was made with perfectly ripe tomatoes, some of the best sauce I've ever had to be honest. I got the pesto which came with loots of yummy sauce, and homemade thick noodles. I got the side Caesar salad too which was very delicious. The house made dressing was incredible! We got a kid's pizza for my son which I thought was well sized so even if you have a big eater I feel like they'd still be full. One downside is the bread is not included. Waaaah. A well sized bread basket is only about $4 though, so not too bad. They also have fancier bread you can opt for too. I will say the pricing is - well - it's Walnut Creek. haha I would say that while sometimes you leave a restaurant in downtown Walnut Creek thinking "Man I paid so much for average food", at least here you can say "Man I paid a lot for really good food." You can tell this menu is curated by a trained chef. Would we return? Most definitely!

Solid 4-star meal! We ordered the chicken wings, chopped salad, and carbonara. The wings were…read moredefinitely on the saltier side, but super flavorful and delicious. The chopped salad was also standout with really great flavor. The carbonara was tasty and well-made, though fairly standard compared to what you get at other spots. Pickup was seamless and extremely fast--just a heads-up that for takeout pickups, you go in through the back door entrance rather than the main front door. Would definitely order again!

When I…read morelooked at the menu for online ordering, I got super confused because they had the Dagwood listed under 3 different sections. 2 of them had a starting price of around $17, while one had a starting price of around $13. I figured I'd go with the $13 one, why not? Then I quickly realized that the ordering system was a whole mess. It gave me the option to customize my sandwich, but some of the required fields didn't make any sense at all. For example, I don't like olives, but it required me to select olives. Then there were 2 separate sections for extra meat and extra ingredients, and those were required too, and both came with additional charges!!! I thought requiring customers to add extra ingredients and charging them extra because of that was totally ridiculous. If I don't want extra meat or extra ingredients, I should be able to leave those options blank and still place my order. But I couldn't proceed to place my order if I didn't select those. I ended up trying to go with the $17 option instead with minimal customization options. I eventually just placed the order, went to the store, and picked it up. As for the sandwich itself, it was pretty standard in size and the quality was decent, but there really wasn't much going on inside. It was basically just bread, meat, and cheese. There weren't even any vegetables! No lettuce whatsoever. I thought that was really weird for a sandwich to be very bare like this, especially given that the final total cost was $19 for a single sandwich from a small deli. I expected a lot more from a sandwich at that price! Again, the sandwich wasn't bad, but I didn't think it was worth $19.
