We came in on a Sunday, just in time to catch the live piano music, and it absolutely set the tone for the evening. Rodney (aka “Uncle Rod”), who was standing in that night, was incredibly warm and engaging—so personable and happy to take requests. It felt like we were part of something cozy and communal, not just dining out.
I had the filet mignon special, served with pillowy raviolis and topped with sautéed mushrooms. Every bite was buttery, savory heaven. We brought our own bottle of Nottingham wine, which paired perfectly—thank you to the staff for being so gracious about it.
Between the welcoming service, amazing food, and live music, it made for the kind of night I wish I could bottle up and replay. Highly recommend for anyone craving something special without leaving town (or in my case living in Alamo it was off our beaten path and worth the drive)

La Finestra seems like a nice place for a romantic dinner, or for a business gathering. We tried the restaurant because of the good reviews; and we were a little disappointed. The service was no doubt excellent. But the food and the seating could be improved. When the restaurant got crowded, the servers kept hitting the back of my chair every time they walked by; so it was very annoying and I couldn’t enjoy my meal.
The Fish of the Day was impressive! The pork tenderloin tasted too strong, and the meat could have been more tender. The pasta was okay. The bread didn’t taste fresh, but the olive oil dip was really good (wish I know how to make that).
The desserts were big, great for sharing. Loved the Semifreddo, although it had too much syrup. The Cannoli was good, just too sweet.
All and all, an expensive fine dining restaurant which is probably good for special celebrations.

This is the best restaurant around! My family’s goto for all birthdays and family gatherings! My parents like to order take out during the week. The owners are excellent and treat you like royalty! Countrymans/Wahls!

Food was fair, but a bit on the pain side for Italian. The halibut special was overdone and dry. The veal sauce was heavy on the mushroom side leaving little flavor. Recommend north beach for true Italian.

This is definitely my go-to Italian spot while I’m in CoCo County. Everything from the super fresh Caprese salad to the decadent Spumoni Gelato is wonderful. The Malfatti della Nonna and Cappellini con il Pollo are amazing! And to top it off on the house biscotti and Marsala wine to end the meal. Also have a great kid’s menu. You can bring your own wine anytime and there is free corkage on Tuesdays. They have setup a nice outdoor seating area due to COVID-19. I also need to mention that the service is impeccable. I don’t give out many 5 stars but this place deserves it. Must go if in the area. Awesome resto!!

We just came back from my son’s rehearsal dinner. We had a separate room with two long tables. Everyone loved the food, and felt it was cozy and comfortable. The chairs were great to sit for such a long time. Jeff was kind to work with, and all went smoothly. I would highly recommend this restaurant for any similar event. If we didn’t live so far away, So Cal, I would eat here more frequently. Thanks Jeff! From Emily

This was our first visit since they opened in their new space in Moraga, the site of the old Terzetto. We both had the minestrone soup which was piping hot and delicious. Make sure you get some parmesan on the top. (Tony is generous with the cheese.) My entree was the chicken marsala. Tasted even better than it looks! My wife’s lasagna was very tasty.

This is a special place that I’m going to try to come to a lot more often.
Love the “old world” service as someone called it in another review.
And the piano bar is like something out of a movie. You can sit and chat with Tony the pianist while he’s playing. Kids love it and makes for a unique and special atmosphere.
I’ve been here twice and both experiences were 10/10. Thank you La Finestra.

We had a large party there for Christmas Eve dinner, ages 11 months to 86 years old. Everyone was impressed with the food and despite the crowd that night, service was great. Highly recommend La Finestra.
