We eat at Pennini's every time we visit family in Moraga. Great food and a comfortable environment! Can't ask for anything more.

A kind of average place that strives for serviceable. Does a good job of not showing off, just delivering food to your table in good portions and at the right flavor.

Really tasty food at a reasonable price. Friendly courteous staff. A bit out of the way, but cozy for family gathering.

Your quintessential neighborhood restaurant with a full bar and kid friendly. A fine restaurant is connected to it for those seeking a more formal atmosphere. Same kitchen.

The food is great here. I love their chicken wings and mozzarella sticks. Their pizza is really good too, the ability to make your own pizza is something that I admire about this place and their great customer service.

Stopped in here craving some pizza and they didnt disappoint. Not too thin and not too thick. Tasted fresh. Their good beer selection didnt hurt either. Excellent customer service.

One of moraga's longest gems. As a Moraga native, every time I go into town, it is a must to stop here. The staff is always very friendly and hard working. Not to mention, the current owner, Pat, employs several locals as well as Saint Mary's students, which deeply impacts the community. Thank you for keeping this place alive!

We keep returning to this restaurant. It's definitely earned its 5-star review. First of all, AWESOME stromboli calzone. I rarely rate a calzone above a pizza. But this calzone is seriously Hall of Fame. No seriously. Order one. And you may need to split with a friend, because you definitely get your moneys worth of food. And you can also order off of Michael's (partner restaurant) menu. So my husband can order the calzone from Penini's, while I order the mussels from Michael's, and we're both served awesome meals. These guys are great. We know you'll like them too!

I can't remember having a coffee as good as this. Totally stepped up their coffee game a few months ago, now they're best I've had in Bris. Absolutely spot on 👌

Took my friend here for a Mother’s Day lunch. She was feeling blue because her kids didn’t show up. Panini’s was the closest and most convenient since I had to go back to work. I hoped it wouldn’t disappoint and it didn’t. She had a turkey avocado and she said it was just right. The service was spot on&she cheered up a bit. Thanks for that Panini crew.

Old school local Moraga pizza pasta salad beer joint. Sports on TV. Great place before Saint Mary's basketball. Not a foodie stop, but good enough with good service. 🏀

This place has really good food and pizza! I love the sauce they put in it! This is also another lunch stop of mine! The people here are cool and every time I come in here, the one thing that comes to mind is "these people love their jobs and like working here"! The only reason I took off a star is because they are a little pricey! But other than that, if you don't want chain pizza, come on down here!

Pretty standard Italian restaurant with pizza emphasis. I had a calzone, which was ok, but not superb. My friend's pasta bolognese was better, I am told.

Got a pizza to go, typically their pizza is 5 star, this one was tasteless. Hopefully just an off day for the staff that put this one together. Most likely I’ll be back just due to limited options in Moraga.

Waited for an hour and a half for our food. They were kind and offered free cheese sticks, but it still felt a bit absurd. Don't know if they're just unorganized or understaffed.

Penninis blew it tonight. The person on the phone had little patience to start. Bad tone. I honestly don’t know how ya’ll got this so wrong today. I ordered dry wings, a marguerite pizza and penne pasta with shaved parm, plus a side of meatballs. What I got was cheese pizza with tomato and raw garlic on top. Chicken wings covered in way too much raw garlic and plain pasta with dry meatballs.... Plus I waited nearly 2 hours for a delivery from about a mile away. Worst $50 I have spent in a while. The food was barely edible for all the garlic in everything. Horrible choice tonight. Won’t be spending my hard earned money at a place that can’t get a simple order right for a local and deliver it in a timely manner.
