We opened our doors in 1986 to share our love and passion for Italian cooking with the community.
(306)

We offer exceptional authentic Italian cuisine in a welcoming and modern environment. To share our love and passion for Italian cooking we opened our doors in the wonderful San Francisco community of Polk, on the corner of Union, in 1986. As our family grew in 1996 we moved to our current location in charming Walnut Creek, CA. After a long remodel we reopen our doors in 2017 as Benvenuti Ristorante (formerly know as Salvatore Ristorante). Our goal has always been to bring exceptional traditional Italian cuisine in a warm and welcoming environment. While also featuring local, sustainable, organic ingredients, an extensive list of Italian and Californian wines, a full bar and a robust cocktail program.
