Adorable and romantic spot with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The entrees were quite good—especially the eggplant agnolotti and the short ribs, both perfectly prepared and full of flavor. A highlight was the special peach and arugula salad, which was fresh and beautifully balanced. For dessert, the profiteroles were outstanding—light, airy, and indulgent.Recommended for a memorable dining experience!

Dinner was delicious but I was incredibly disappointed to see a little girl carry a small dog through the restaurant, put it down on the floor and walk it back to the kitchen where food was prepared. This is incredibly unhygienic and illegal and made me think twice about eating here again. Please reconsider allowing pets to run through your restaurant where people are eating.

Well executed local dining experience. Homey, elegant, approachable menu. Probably my favorite restaurant around Cannery Row.

We were searching for a place to have dinner after 8pm in Monterey, not easy… luckily we drove by this gem and they welcomed us with open arms. Very friendly owners and the pasta is truly like in Italy. A must if you are a food lover!

This place far exceeded my expectations. I have not had good luck with meals during my stay in Monterey but an uber driver recommended this to us. The food was amazing, period. Try it you will not be disappointed! The servers were so lovely and professional. I’m sad I can’t pack this place up and take it to my town.

Absolutely perfect dinner. Onion soup is fantastic as was the lasagna. Special was a Filet and it was cooked to perfection. Very well done. Thank you.

Wow, what an amazing experience at this little gem of a restaurant. We started with the scallop appetizer which was to die for, and moved onto the peach and arugula salad, which was equally delicious. Then for our main, we chose the seafood risotto, which had some of the best flavors we’ve had in a while, even the desserts were delectable. This is a family run establishment that is producing some of the best food we’ve ever had, and thats saying something because we are huge foodies. If you’re in the Monterey area stop by and support this wonderful little restaurant.
Step in from the cold of the Monterey Bay into a warm, welcoming Italian/ French authentic cuisine experience with professional waiters, kind hospitality, and delicious dishes. Be ready to be courted with tonight's specials and taken through a three course meal fitting royalty.
Extravagant!

My girlfriend and I visited this place last week and I’m writing in from FL! Dining at this place was truly an experience. Not only was the entire staff extremely welcoming and knowledgeable of the menu, but the food was remarkable! Every ingredient seemed to be hand selected to craft the perfect symphony of flavors. The scallops appetizer was amazing - hands down the best either of us have ever had! I had the chefs special with grouper (catch of the day) and my girlfriend had the filet! 5 stars isn’t enough! We will be back!

We had a group of 10 people yesterday, and everyone’s food was ok. All of us thought that for the cost, there are better restaurants in town. My steak was overdone, and while the other food was ok, it wasn’t worth the cost. For the prices charged, the food should be extraordinary, which can be found in other Italian restaurants in Monterey, Carmel, and even Pebble Beach for cheaper. I’ll also note that my group wasn’t asked if we wanted bottled water or tap water, and was then hit with $120 bill for bottled water we didn’t want. The owner did end up taking it off, but not without first getting quite angry and leaving a bitter taste in our mouths. I doubt any of our group will be back.

My wife had the lasagna, and I had the seafood linguine with cream sauce. Both were fantastic. We also enjoyed our dessert. Everything was hot and freshly made. The service was impeccable, and the dining experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Monterey.
