"Montesacro is the San Francisco-based Italian restaurant that bills itself as the first to serve Roman-style pinsa in the United States. It has expanded to the East Bay, opening its fourth location in Walnut Creek. The restaurant is known for its Roman-style pinsas made with a blend of soy, rice, and wheat flours sourced from Rome, with a 72-hour rise for airy and crisp textures. The menu includes pinsas named after Roman neighborhoods, pastas, entrees, smaller plates, and a unique cocktail list. The Walnut Creek space has midcentury modern design with vintage touches and also offers weekend brunch." - Lauren Saria
