Benvenuti Ristorante, Walnut Creek, CA

08/31/2026

Join us Wednesday Sept. 2 and Thursday Sept., 3rd for a delectable evening featuring our legendary seafood stew.

Benvenuti will be serving our aromatic seafood cioppino layered with fresh shellfish and tender fish, simmered in a savory tomato and white wine broth infused with garlic and herbs with our crusty ciabatta bread. Bursting with coastal Italian flavors we recommend pairing it with a glass of Donnafugata Grillo

We highly recommend making reservations and noting “Coming for the Cioppino” when booking, so we can be sure to save one for you in the event we sell out.
