Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Moraga

Beautiful space, unbelievable food — it is on the smaller side so it gets pretty loud / a little hard to talk, but the food makes it all worth a return trip.

Fresh ingredients well prepared. Pasta, meatballs, salads and lamb shank, all well received. Good pours with the wine! Will be back

This restaurant has been on our list for a while and we are glad we finally made it. The menu is a tad small, but they clearly go for quality over quantity. With our group of 4, all of our dishes were outstanding and appreciate them offering gluten free items. It was the first time in almost 15 years that I was able to enjoy gluten free bread at the table (the dipping oil was amazing). I had the fettuccini al fungi (with GF pasta) and it was light but with so much flavor. We were not as excited about the desserts as we were our dinner. We ordered the torta cioccolato and I suppose we expected a rich flourless chocolate torte but I re-read this to be a cake, so our error for that. The panna cotta was more jello like than the familiar smooth and creamy ones we have always had. The cocktails were also fantastic (must try the Aero Mexico). We will definitely return to Montesacro!

2nd time here with same friend who flew into OAK in Sept. and this evening. heard great things about it before, and it is true!

This is an offshoot of the excellent Sicilian restaurant in Berkeley; Agrodolce. It’s in a more stylish environment with an outdoor space as well. This is my new regular Italian. Try the Porchetta or the sardine bucatini; both magic
