Great place near the water, paid parking lot. Service is always excellent. Quality food. Our 3rd time here. We did have one issue with how our one of our dishes was prepared, but the Kithen fixed it immediately with. Love coming here and will be back. If you can make reservations do. There are stairs to get here. They have outdoor seating with heaters but still might need a jacket if the sun starts to set .

Outstanding Italian seafood. The service was amazing along with the recommendations and the atmosphere listening to the Sea Lions!! We had Fritto Di Calamari and Impepata Di Vongole and it was outstanding. The flavors made you want more!!
Great food, great drinks, and our server Michael was fantastic! We'd go back just for the impepata di vongole.

Came for my husbands bday. It was super busy when we arrived. I had a reservation but it took some time for them to be able to address our outdoor seating with our dog. The outdoor area is quaint and VERY tight, but we were able to get corner seating that accomodated room for our 3 year old 100lb Rottweiler under our table.
We started with a special deepfried vegeterian risotto balls. YUM! I had the Fettucine Pescatore which was very nice. My husband had the braised short ribs. That was the only disappointment. The texture of the meat was a little chewy and the polenta was closer to cornbread than we expected. The veggies on the plate were amazing though.
The enthusiasm for his birthday was so sweet and the Tiramisu was sooo good. Overall we had a great time. Not memorable enough for me to be excited to repeat a visit, but it did the job for the evening.

Went here on a recent visit to Monterey. We for a patio table the same day. Food was delicious. Wine selection was excellent. They also a carafe 9 oz size which is nice. My cousin had the fettuccini with seafood. It came in a tomato sauce, slightly spicy and she loved it. My scallops were good too. It was a lovely time. Will be back.

We strolled in just before the lunch rush on a Saturday based on the recommendation of our e-bike tour guide, Victor, and so glad we did! The limoncello spritz was refreshing, the eggplant and mussels were delicious as was the special of the day, squid ink pasta with mussels and calamari. The service was great and the views of the sea lions on the dock were so fun. Highly recommend!

I wish ai took a photo but the food wasn't on my plate for long! The service, ambiance and food were exceptional. Our waiter came up with some very creative substitutions for the pesto sauce that my sister is allergic to, and everything was exceptional. 10/10!!! (Homemade pasta was also a huge bonus)
DO NOT go anywhere else for Italian! Come here. Very authentic. Everything we had was phenomenal.

If you can reserve a table. If not, it's definitely worth the wait. We had to wait about 20min as a walk in. They have a good menu with well prepared Italian favorites featuring a lot of seafood dishes. I had the seafood pasta, which was tasty and well seasoned. The seafood was fresh. The Tiramisu was delicious and authentically prepared. The interior is elegant with a view of the sea.

Me and my wife went up to Monterey last year doing wedding research, this restaurant was amongst the stops. We ended up going with another restaurant for reception sadly HOWEVER, we went back to Monterey this year for the wedding itself and we absolutely had to come back here. Frankly this restaurant has some of the best Italian food we’ve both had in our life, tried multiple dishes last year and even this go around and there hasn’t been a single disappointment. We actually took our family on this go around and I must say that the waiter that served us had patience that would rival a Buddhist monk, he was so helpful and attentive, really tied it all together to make for yet another amazing visit

The food was not wonderful as pictured. All they have is linguine meals and the flavor is so so. The appetizer Arincini fried cheese balls were not good. The cheese was not even melted inside. The beet salad was so gross. They use a blan grated goat cheese lightly sprinkled on top. We asked for more and then I took the photo. The dressing was just lemon. It was so bad and tart. The Clam chowder was horrible. It does not taste like clam chowder. Do not order it here. Everything needed salt..Lots of it.
Delicious food! impeccable service!!!
