Benvenuti Ristorante has been a fixture in Walnut Creek for decades, despite its new name. Formerly Salvatore Ristorante, the restaurant closed their doors after 20 years to remodel the restaurant and revamp the menu to become Benvenuti Ristorante. Today, it continues to serve classic Italian dishes like house made pastas and traditional entrees.

The beef ravioli and gnocchi with zucchini and mushrooms are popular choices, as are the veal piccata and chicken Marsala. Start your meal with antipasti or their signature salad with watermelon radish, applewood smoked bacon and poached egg over fresh greens. Much of the produce is organic and sourced locally.

The new environment of the restaurant is modern, while still being warm and inviting. Visit Benvenuti Ristorante for happy hour to sample some of their most popular antipasti along with a glass of wine or handcrafted cocktail. Benvenuti Ristorante also has a banquet space for private events or parties.
