This week we learned that the Italian restaurant Pasta Pomodoro closed in Pleasant Hill which got me wondering what the best Italian restaurants are around here. Walnut Creek has Ottavio, Danville has Locanda Ravello. Pleasant Hill also has Wisegirl Ristorante Italiano which opened earlier this year. What is your favorite Italian restaurant?

Thanks to everyone who sent word that Pasta Pomodoro has closed in the Downtown Pleasant Hill Shopping Center on Crescent Drive. Quite a number of new restaurants have opened in this shopping center lately so the competition for diners must be fierce. Also thanks much to the reader who sent in the photo.
