“My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here and we had a marvelous time. The food was superb and the wine list is incredible. The ambiance is cozy and relaxed, but lively and fun. The highlight of the evening was the service, however. Our server made the evening truly memorable--very engaging, helpful, patient, not to mention hilarious! The table was guaranteed for two hours but we were there for almost four! We couldn't recommend a better place in Carmel to enjoy a fabulous meal.“
“Stumbled upon this place after 8pm on a Thursday and couldn’t be happier! Phillippo was an amazing server - everything came quickly and the food was fresh, not overdone with the flavors and sooooo good. Atmosphere was spot on, food was great, coffee was Italian Perfection. Loved it “
“Had a wonderful dinner here. The owners are so friendly and the food was delicious. Will definitely be coming back!!! We had the beef Shawarma wrap special and the burger. As well as calamari appetizer. Everything was great. The lemon sparkling Italian soda was also really good.“
“Everything was simply fantastic! Our high standards were exceeded. This has got to be the best restaurant in Monterey. From the service to the food to the ambiance - there is nothing that left us wanting more. You can truly feel the love the owners and staff put into their work.“
“The food here is incredible. The warm bread and olive appetizers were amazing. Pizza was delicious too. The excellent food was marred by not so friendly service. The two hostesses were snooty (my pet peeve; why are some restaurant hostesses so snooty? They’re not curing cancer). The waitress seemed mildly peeved at seemingly small requests (refill iced tea). This seemed more like an understaffing problem but the place is small and there seemed to be a lot of staff so maybe she just doesn’t like her job. For much of the meal, we watched food being efficiently prepared by the young gentlemen at the pizza oven area, just to sit waiting to be served. The gentlemen had to quietly ring several times for the food to be picked up and served. Other than the lackluster service, it’s a great place.“
