Drive into the parking lot; locate the host stand (outside on the left side if facing the restaurant from the parking lot). We have always offered sick-leave benefits to our staff, so they are not faced with a decision between their health and their work. We will continue to make informed decisions guided by the local health officials and will continue to keep our guests in the loop.

I really enjoy this place. Great food. Large portions and upscale while still feeling comfortable. The outdoor space is really enjoyable with tons or heaters and fire. The bar even has two tvs to watch sports. My only gripe is there is only one restroom for the capacity. Their Brussels sprouts are amazing.

I have to say that the pizzas (both their cheese pizza and rústica pizza) were below average. Low-quality, thin bread with not much sauce and dry chicken. Also, the service was terrible. The restaurant forces a 20% tip for parties over 6, and I felt like the server, knowing that, wasn’t worried about her performance. We had to go find her twice. The first time was because she forgot to bring the food for one member of our party (he got it 10-15 minutes after the rest of us). The second time was because she forgot to bring the payer of our meal his CC. It may have just been a bad night, but I

Italian Colors is the best Italian restaurant / one of the best restaurants in general I've been to in the bay area. All of the different food tasted amazing (a group of 7 of us all ordered different dishes and shared -- 5 different pastas, steak, and pizza), portions were huge, and time of waiting for food was so short. The service and ambiance were also top tier. The live music coming from the guitarist who has been working there for 20 years apparently, was so smooth and fun. And finally, I'd like to give a shout out to our awesome server Cesar. Really funny guy and an excellent host.

Italian colors is a wonderful restaurant tucked away in a pocket retail space in Montclair off highway 13. The restaurant has only gotten better with age. Accommodations for pandemic safety include outdoor seating with heat lamps and windbreaks for comfortable dining even during foggy Oakland evenings. The servers are great, and the kitchen staff shows remarkable attention to detail. Entrees feature generous servings and include a wide range of dishes with offerings for vegetarians. The owner& chef Alan Carlson is passionate about his craft, never showy or splashy, but consistently devoted to turning

This restaurant is a hidden gem. The waitstaff are so attentive and sweet and the food is absolutely amazing! Hands down the best restaurant in Montclair Village! My girlfriend and I hadn't seen each other in months so she drove through the tunnel and we shared two starters, our entrees and a couple of desserts and left so extremely satisfied! We're coming back with our hubbies for double date night and looking forward to all of us having a wonderful gastronomic experience!!!
