Lovely setting right next to the Lesher. The crab arancini and sea bass were both delicious and of generous size. The server was very gracious as she helped us choose our wine.

We've eaten at Massimo's many many times over the years and have always had a great time. The servers are kind, very professional, and always in good spirits. The food is always fresh and tasty. For us it's a cherished neighborhood dining spot that's within walking distance of our home. People do occasionally bring their kids, but the crowd is -- usually -- mostly adults of all ages. There is a great full classic bar with piano and there's always a few regulars hanging out. It's just a really nice place and we feel lucky to have it here in Walnut Creek.
