    The Luca Square
    Lauren M.

    My go-to order every time I come here: the Spicy Vodka Rigatoni and The Luca. They never disappoint! The portions are generous and perfect for sharing, which makes it even better when dining with friends. It gets pretty busy on Fridays and weekends, so I definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time!

    Potato Square

    Has dinner on Friday night- made an easy online reservation. Snagged an outdoor patio table- a little cool, but the patio heater kept us comfortable. Service was very good- my square potato pizza and chopped Italian salad were both tasty.

    Just like Melo's Pizza but just slightly upscale. Good to get reservations as they get packed. Hosts are super friendly. Service is great! They have circle pizzas (more traditional) and square pizzas (thicker, deep dish). The pizzas come in one size only. Probably enough for 1-2 people. They also have pastas, small bites and salads. Decent cocktail menu with wine and beers. We ordered: Sunday Gravy: A very saucy spaghetti with all the meats (meatball, sausages, chunks of beef and pork. Flavorful. A bit too saucy for me. The spaghetti was al dente which I love. I wish this dish had more pasta to sop up all the "gravy." Combo Circle Pizza: One of our favorites from Melo's Burrata Margarita Square Pizza: Thick pizza on a bready crust. Too bready for me. But if you like deep dish, you'll probably like this one. Enjoyed the burnt cheese on the edges. Fun atmosphere. Family friendly. Loved the cute Italian store front with the Vespa. Cute.

    Came in on a Friday evening and was told the wait would be about 20 minutes, though it ended up being closer to 45. Honestly, it's Friday night and we were a walk-in, so it was expected! They have a cute little market area with goodies to browse, which helped pass the time. The vibe is great, very inviting with cute decorations and the staff was incredibly friendly throughout the night. They have a solid menu with plenty of options. Most of the food was a bit on the saltier side for my taste, but the standout was definitely the homemade focaccia and Chicken Parmesan with Spicy Vodka Rigatoni. It was easily the best thing we ordered. I'll definitely be back to give them another shot and try a few other dishes!

    So much good food here! Decent sized restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating (heat lamps and firepits) Parking on the streets or nearby parking garage. We all enjoyed our meals. Each dish was delicious and flavorful. They were all generous portioned. Unfortunately our server was not as attentive. We asked many times for her and for her to take our order. It also took them a while to light the heat lamps. Our food took a while to come out as well.

    Buratta

    I had a reservation, but when we arrived on a busy Saturday night, we were asked to wait and that they'd come get us in 10-15 minutes. I know they were really really busy, but I had to go check on the table several times before we were finally seated. The place was absolutely packed and loud and busy, which is probably better for a large party than it is for a two person hang, where you're actually trying to be able to hear each other. We got a few drinks that were good, and then went through the overwhelmingly extensive menu and picked out a few things: *Toast with buratta - this was tasty, but also felt like it needed something more *Pescatore - this was tasty, but it also felt like quantity over quality. It was fine. *Pesto special - this was tasty and my favorite I'd come back, because the menu is pretty extensive and I'd like to try more things, but probably not on a super busy Saturday.

    Yummy yummy in our tummies , this food was sooo darn good ! I couldn't even finish my plate of pasta , it was very filling. Pasta was very flavorful (extra parm/red peppers on request, they will drizzle it for you) Became full and they packed our food in the boxes for us. Service was amazing ! Loved our waiter Maiyah ... she was super sweet / patient (my kids were ordering) Ambiance was adorable ! Plant lovers you would enjoy all the live plants sitting above the tables. 10/10 Parking is easy to find on the street or parking garage , for two hr street parking we paid $4. Download the app and pay for parking so you can track your time that is left on the meter. Parking enforcement was really heavy and proactive in this area.

    Fried Calamari
    Natalie R.

    I've been wanting to come here for a while since I keep seeing it on my social media! I love Italian food and I love Walnut Creek so my boyfriend and I decided to celebrate our anniversary here! The ambiance is great! It's lively, it's not super loud, the decorations and aesthetic of the restaurant is so cute and vintage chic! I love that they have outdoor seating options as well! Perfect for those warm spring summer evenings or nights! The service was great! Our server was attentive, answered all of our questions and offered recommendations! We only needed to flag our server down for the check but beyond that everything was great! The restaurant is very clean. No sticky floors, dirty tables and the restrooms were spotless! The food was fantastic! I had the alfredo and my boyfriend ordered the penne bistecca. Everything was cooked perfectly, the cut of meat on my boyfriend's plate was so tender and the sauces of both pastas were absolutely delicious! The calamari was fried perfectly and the dipping sauces were also really good! I'd love to come again during their happy hour to try some more of their appetizers! I will be returning, we were very satisfied with our meal and afterwards if you feel full, you have a beautiful area to walk around and maybe do some shopping! I had a great experience and can't wait to try more!

    Got the vodka pasta and the ragu. Vodka sauce and noodles were cooked perfectly! Loved how quickly everything came out. The atmosphere is bright and lively- perfect for brunch.

    Chicken Parmigiana
    Lydia C.

    Food: Our friend recommended this place and they've been dined in or ordered takeouts multiple times. We came here and tried the recommended dishes, and it's probably by far the BEST I've tried near Bay Area. I can't wait to come back again and tried other pasta dishes and see if Melo's going to be my fav Italian restaurant of all time! 100% recommend the chicken parmigiana, the sauce and cheese are perfectly balanced. I'm very picky when it comes to cheese or cream, and they made it so well Square pizza is also another highlight. It was slight over burnt on the edge but the honey complements the flavor of the pepperoni and crispness. Ambiance: it was warm and cozy. We sat in the patio seats and it suddenly rained, and all the staff came out to open the shades, and they also helped with the heater and offering blankets which makes the dining experience enjoyable. Staff: nice and friendly, very helpful indeed.

    "salsiccia" sausage pizza and "pescatora" seafood linguine
    Brad N.

    Ate here twice; one doordash and once in person. Both times were very good Everything we've ordered has been very flavorful and well cooked: crisp crust/undercarriage on the pizzas and al dente pasta with great sauces. No major complaints so far other than a minor wish that they'd give a bit more pasta in their dishes since it seems theres a bit more sauce than pasta ratio so the noodles run out a bit quick. Yadi the server was nice and helpful

    Mandilli al Pesto
    Alyssa C.

    Came here to celebrate my birthday. The staff were super nice! There was a bday card on the table for me when I arrived. They have plenty of booth seating inside and tables outside. We ordered The Luca pizza to share. I was really excited to try this pizza and it's the reason we came. I was disappointed because it had so much hot honey on it that it sort of ruined the other flavors for me. It was super sweet. Aside from that the pizza was very well made. I would only order this again with the hot honey on the side. We also got the pesto pasta. We loved this!!! It was super saucy and flavorful. Would definitely get this again. They gave me a gelato for my bday! It was so good!

    Came on a weeknight and there was no wait for a party of two. We started off with cocktails - I got the Sophia and he got the hibiscus margarita. Both were very good! For our appetizer, we got the cacio pepe onion dip. It was a flavorful, cheesy dip but I couldn't eat very much of since it was pretty rich. I appreciated the different variety of crackers for dipping. For our entrees, we got the vodka rigatoni with chicken parm and the luca pizza. The spicy vodka rigatoni was good but I would have appreciated more sauce and spice. The luca pizza was phenomenal! Everything I wanted on a pizza was on the luca pizza. This was a nice casual dinner spot, will definitely be back!

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. Service was good  The Valentines prix consisted of an app, entree, and dessert, some of which are not on their regular menu!!  -bread and marinara (4/5): bread was great, thick slices and nice crust. 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. Loved how thick the whipped cream was, but didn't taste as much peanut butter as I would've liked Overall, I had a great experience for their valentines day prix menu.

The cauliflower was definitely a highlight -- that turmeric cream sauce is pretty divine. Our pastas (capellini rústico and salmon fettuccini) were excellent, the pesto dipping sauce for the artichoke was perfect, desserts (chocolate-orange cake, and caramel walnut gelato topped with honey and olive oil) were both so delectable, we couldn't decide which we liked more. The cannellini beans were not as savory as I'd hoped based on others' reviews -- maybe I thought they'd be in a red sauce? -- but they were still a nice, earthy balance to our richer dishes. The Caesar Salad was simple but exactly what we needed -- light, refreshing, crunchy. The wine was wonderful, and the service spectacular. So glad we finally tried this place!

I will also say that the service was very good- considering that it was very crowded at the time, however I had an odd experience with a hostess. I made a reservation in advance to celebrate my mom's birthday- when my family arrived, we were quite literally ignored by the hostess for about 10 minutes. She looked at us, and said "I will be right with you", only to come back 7 more times and ignore us again. She then made us wait 20 minutes into our reservation because another table wasn't finished with their meal. I initially didn't think anything of it (after all, it was a busy night)- until another group of white women who had made a reservation were immediately attended to by this hostess, and were given a table at a significantly better lit area. My indian family was made to sit at the corner of the restaurant, by the bathrooms. However I want to keep in mind that maybe it was a bad day, and the rest of the staff were very polite to us.

The pace of our dinner moved along exactly as expected. Service (Jess, et al) is friendly, professional and timely. Members of the service staff moved in and out efficiently to refill water, remove plates and keep our table uncluttered. The dining room is busy and loud (or maybe we're old), so there was quite a bit of "what did you say" in our conversations, but it did not diminish the experience.
