    Came here on a Sunday night, walking by. The server was very energetic and extremely attentive. The ambiance of the place was great too! Lots to look at while waiting for the food to arrive. The tables were also clean, not sticky. The Italian guava soda and Caesar salad were SO good! Had anchovy in it too but was very fresh and the amount of salad was generous as well. The pastrami sandwich was very moist and the pastrami was so good! I've had pastrami elsewhere that were hard to eat because they were chewy or stringy but these were fantastic. Tiramisu was also very good! The calamari was slightly disappointing because the batter and actual calamari didn't go well together and texture of the fried batter was more coarse than my liking. Will definitely be coming back though!!

    My husband and I came by to try a few things from this cozy pizza spot and I must say, we left with full bellies and warm hearts. The owner and staff were really attentive, checking on us often. I saw the owner look over at the tables every chance he got to make sure everyone was happy. We got 3 pizzas, 12 pc wings, side of Meatballs, Shrimp fettuccine and tiramisu. We were offered a pistachio cake on the house! So sweet of them. We got thin Brooklyn style pizzas so that we don't get too full and can try more things on the menu. All the pizzas were delicious. My favorite were the classic Margherita and truffle pizza along with the meatballs that were made in house. The pizza came out hot, crispy and full of flavor. The pasta was really good also! It was garlicky and noodles perfect Al dente! We chatted a little with the owner who told us that most things were made fresh in house (sauce, meatballs, crust etc) that was no surprise to us because you can taste the freshness in every bite. We had such a lovely time and will be returning again in the near future!!

    We were in Walnut Creek and had a place in mind to dine at, but unfortunately they were hosting a holiday party, so we left. We noticed Napolina across the street and decided to give it a try. We ordered the ravioli, truffle fries, calamari, and mango avocado salad. The prices were surprisingly low, which made sense once the food arrived, as the portions were very small. The calamari lacked flavor, and the batter tasted more like what's used for chicken cutlets. The highlights of the meal were the ravioli and the truffle fries. Overall, the food was underwhelming, but the service was excellent. There was only one server for the entire restaurant, and she did an amazing job. Food: 2/5 Service: 5/5

    Sicilian margherita pizza, you can see how the crust looks over cooked and hard.

    I came here because my in laws enjoy this place. I ordered the Margherita Sicilian pizza because I love a thick crust. The crust was bad. Tasted stale and was hard on the edges. I had just had amazing pizza in this style in sand Diego so was disappointed this wasn't up to par. The flavors of the toppings, sauce and cheese were delicious but the crust ruined it. I was hungry so I ate it. If they work on the crust situation I'd be happy to return, since the location is great, right in todos Santos plaza. Service was great, the inside of the restaurant was a little cramped but clean.

    The Dolce El Picante is deeeeelish! Our first time here and will NOT be the last! To our surprise there is also live music getting set up as I speak, friday night!

    Pepperoni, sausage, salami and ham

    Not only was the food amazing, everyone that worked there was super friendly smiling from the kitchen. They had like 6 TVs playing sports so you were able to watch World Cup. Very clean restaurant! My hubby ordered the pizza the sauce was delicious the crust was thin and flavorful the sausage was fresh ham had a good thickness to it. My Caesar Salad had the right amount of dressing and let me tell you I ordered a side of grilled shrimp that was seasoned with garlic and spices made my whole salad. As you can tell we started to eat the tiramisu before I got a picture thank goodness I got part of it before the plate was licked clean. You need to try this place!!

    Tiramasu - decent!

    Rolled in on a Fri night about 615 on a toasty Concord evening. 2 people at the bar. By the time we left about an hour later, 2 more at the bar, another table full and one table of 6 turned over. Slow. Service was friendly, attentive, without being over bearing. Could have used another minute to figure out drinks but thats ok. Knowing the specific names of draft beers is important for some people, not just "Side Gate Hazy". Ambiance- cool spot, enjoyed the video screens running Italian / European walks. Sports on the other TVs was good for the guys. Food - decent, not outstanding. The tiramasu was decent, above average. The ravioli was good, tender pasta, good sauce. Spaghetti and Meatballs had a chunky meat sauce that was very mild, slightly greasy. The balls themselves were very tough. Portion size was good for average appetites. Menu was small (not necessarily bad) but cheap plastic. Overall an average experience. I hope tonight's flow was not typical.

    Stopped by to try this place for lunch! DJ is the man! He suggested me to try their pasta, it's so delicious! I thought I am in a fine dining restaurant! Highly recommended!

    There a lot of places to get a good burger around here. I was reminded why I come to Cafe Napolina today for my burger fix. Basic burger with fries was awesome and you can beat the price. Right at happy hour too boot! Can't lose!

    Seafood Linguini and 12" Small Tartufo Pizza

    Food was amazing. Pizza was light, not greasy, the crust held up great. Paired with the seafood linguini, it was fresh and flavorful. Definitely recommend the ricotta pista cake! It was comfortable indoors, relaxed environment. Service was attentive, overall a great experience and will definitely come again! :)

    Stumbled upon this place for lunch randomly. My dad and I wanted a small lunch to share so we got the meat pizza. It was the thin NY style. Pizza came piping hot with an incredible san Marzano tomato sauce. We finished with a cannoli. Would come again. It is to be noted from what I could see, the red wine selection was mediocre but a few craft/draft beer selection.

    Brooklyn in the house! New York in da house! I went here on the behest of my friend and she had it right - this is a new gem in Concord! Excellent marguerita pizza and the standard spaghetti and meatballs. Deejay the owner gave us the rundown on their move from Brooklyn and was kind to both of us. We had a great time! Check it out Yelpers if you want authentic New York style pizza and Italian cuisine in the East Bay!

    I had hoped that what I read from a 1-star Yelp review about having reservations, then finding out…read morethis restaurant is closed, was only a rare occasion. I did not even think to alert my friends about what I read because I thought after reading other Yelp reviews and looking up their Instagram posts with beautiful photos and people looking like they were enjoying this restaurant, that what was described in that 1-star review must have been a rare occurrence. Boy was I wrong because to my dismay when we arrived at their restaurant door last evening, it happened to us and I did not want to believe it, but all the evidence was there to show they were in fact, CLOSED. Two other customers and our group arrived at the same time in advance of our 6pm reservation time, only to see their door closed, lights off, with nobody inside. We were confused not only because we did not receive a message notifying us that their restaurant would be closed and our reservation needed to be canceled, but also because the customers who arrived when we did said they had booked their reservation yesterday, meaning the reservation system was still active. What's more is we did not see any signage on their door or windows about being closed, but instead we saw an EBMUD notice on the door stating water service payment was overdue, which we were not expecting to see upon our arrival. Our group needed to quickly figure out a plan B for our birthday celebration dinner, as our friend had planned and reserved The Library Social Club over a month ago. I dine at many restaurants and any time there needs to be a change or cancelation for any reason by a restaurant business, I have received an e-mail, a text, or a phone call alert, as a customer courtesy call, and I have at the very least, even seen hand written notes on restaurant doors and windows as signage alerting customers of their business being closed. Needless to say, we were disappointed and frustrated by this incident today. We drove from out of town to try this restaurant that was not even open when customers had reservations. Fortunately, our friend proposed a different restaurant that we could walk to and they sat us promptly upon arrival. We enjoyed their delicious food instead!

    Had an okay visit to The Library Social club today. The décor was cohesive--the theme is akin to…read moredark academia with rich paint colors on the walls, animal skulls and of course, tons of books. The seating options were disappointing as the benches along the wall had no cushioning and the couch we selected instead had flat, sinking cushions. The music was too loud for reasonable discussion with my friend, though the server did lower the volume at my request. I had a tasty flight of sparkling wines and the server gave a speedy, short introduction to the pours. My largest disappointment came with the arrival of the check. Despite signage outside the establishment that implied the opposite, I was informed that wine flights were *not* included in happy hour pricing. I found the messaging exceedingly unclear, and of course, there's no mention of happy hour on the menu nor did the server share the happy hour options when we were seated. It was a disheartening end to a midling experience up until that point. It's not that this place is terrible, it's just not that good and in this economy, that is a must. I will not be returning.

    Va de Vi had been on my "Want to Try" list for years. My only regret now is how long it took to get…read morehere now that I know what I was missing! Our group of 3 sat outside in their lovely side alleyway and feasted on 6 delicious shared small plates plus their scrumptious dessert sampler. This was plenty of food for all of us, although I might have been able to force down one more small plate since everything was so delectable. We ordered: -- Cacio e pepe biscuit -- Esquites (Mexican street corn) -- Empanadas -- Tacos al pastor -- Ceviche tostadas -- Alaskan black cod The black cod dish was seriously incredible and a standout amid the other wonderful dishes. The waiter mentioned it had been on their menu for 22 years and that people traveled there to try it. I can believe it! Speaking of service, it was exceptional. Along with our friendly main waiter, there were other staff refilling water glasses and changing table settings quickly as needed. We waited on nothing but also never felt interrupted. Since Va da Vi IS a wine bar, I should mention that wine was also wonderful. I tried their Pinot Noir flight and enjoyed all 3 of the 3 oz samplings, especially the 2023 Status Quo and the 2023 "Klee" by Roots Wine Co. Is it pricey? Well, a little, but not for the quality. I've eaten at places just as expensive and left far less satisfied. I can see the bill adding up quickly for a group who wants a huge meal, but if you're into just sipping and nibbling on amazing food and wine, come!
