We come here every time we are in Carmel for happy hour. The staff is super friendly and the food and drinks are always fun. Just a fun place to pass a couple of hours whenever in Carmel!

Nice ambience and cozy in a rainy evening. The food was delicious and server was nice and we really enjoyed overall experience!

The pizza Diavola is delicious, just a bit hot, not too hot. The bar tender will make Negroni with Cynar if you ask, outstanding.

After learning Le Bicylette had a 1.5 hour wait on a Sunday, we peeked down the little alley way and allowed ourselves to be enticed to select an outdoor table for a delicious pizza lunch. Started with the Cesar salad (extra anchovies!) followed by the Pepe Board. The four of us then split two pizzas, the San Vito and the Diavola. Took home the last 3 slices for lunch the next day. Charming patio! Definitely worth a return.

My family and I came here to eat after spending the day in the area, we did make reservations a couple days prior. I didn't get a chance to take photos of everyone's dishes because they dug in right away. We started off with the garlic bulb, it was delicious, it's not really large enough to share with more than one person. For dinner I had the chicken parmigiana, it was honestly the best restaurant chicken parmigiana I've ever had, also, the Alfredo that came with it, delicious. My whole party enjoyed their meals. Not one bad thing to say about the food. The vibe of the restaurant was really nice, I liked the atmosphere and decorations, I will definitely come back next time I am in the area.

We have eaten here for years, many times a year. We keep going back because the food is ALWAYS good, extremely consistent! Beautiful Italian atmosphere, cozy and charming. Good service

Service was excellent and the food was good but it was not a good value. I got a pizza for $22 which was a fair value but my friend got a portion of vodka sauce pasta with chicken and it was $37.50. We also got an order of the gnocchi which was wonderful but I believe had 10 gnocchis and was $22. Overall a meal I'd value at $60ish was $100 before tip.

Nice Italian restaurant with seat yourself bar option on the ground level. Sat at the bar and enjoyed the happy hour. Great inventive and interesting cocktails. Tried several drinks from the happy hour menu as well as several appetizers. The service was attentive and friendly. Would definitely return to try more menu items.
Enjoyed our dinner at Little Napoli and the service stood out tonight. She was super attentive and friendly even though the place was packed. The 'Drop' cocktail was delicious albeit a bit sweet. We loved the special pear ravioli, the pasta is so delicate and clearly handmade! The tri-color cannelloni was also enjoyable. The Caesar salad was generous in volume but wasn't notable. All in all, an enjoyable Italian dinner!

Hey there Party People Hit the road to my favorite seaside town of Carmel. Time to enjoy some amazing Italian food at "Little Napoli". The restaurant really gives you that Italian villa vibe. We had the perfect table for 2 with a fabulous view of the courtyard. We started with the Garlic Bulb just enough for 2. The assortment of olives, roasted tomatoes, cheese croquette, crostini bread, with the fresh garlic made for a sumptuous bite. My hubby had the Eggplant Parmigiana. He said the eggplant had just a touch of roasted flavor, not over bearing, with a very light flavorful breading. The sauce was delicious, however he did have to spice it up a bit with crushed peppers. I had the 1944 Lasagna. First let me say that all pasta is made in house fresh daily. The lasagna was reminiscent of what my Mom used to make, so I loved it. The noodles were cooked extremely well, not gummy or over done. The sausage was the star of the dish without being at all greasy, the flavor was very herbalisous. I love my food spicy so I did have to add a little heat to my dish. I would say for the average person the spice level is on point. Now that I'm half way to a food coma it's time to walk it off with a stroll on the beach Be kind to one another
