Quaint atmosphere and wonderful staff. Food was enjoyed by all. Little pricey but good ROI. Definitely recommend for food Italian! Reservations good idea, ESPECIALLY for large parties.

Great experience. Very tasty food. Friendly staff, ask them about Italy and get some travel recommendations. Owner was very engaged and great to talk with. Recommend going and taking in the experience and taking to the staff.

A little slice of heaven. Seaside views, perfectly cooked pasta, fresh seafood, and Italian hospitality amidst the cries of the many sea lions outside.

We booked this place while stopping over in Monterey for a night on our travels and it was the best decision we made! The food was absolutely amazing, the pasta and seafood is so fresh. The service matches the food and Michael provided outstanding service to us. You will not regret coming here!

Warmly greeted upon entering. Choice of indoor or outdoor seating. Ocean views. Great staff recommendations - was even told soup or salad should be skipped to safe room for dessert. Lovely delicious tiramisu and creamy spumoni. Will definitely return for other meals.

Great Italian restaurant perched over Monterey Bay. Indoor and outdoor seating, views of the harbor, and an elegant interior make it a classy place to take a visiting guest.
Food was very classic Italian, well prepared. Too notch service. We'll be back!
Wonderful visit. We drank great wine and had clams while watching sea otters eat. Get a table outside overlooking the marina if you can. Our server was fantastic. We shared the cheese ravioli and they were great as well. Truly enjoyed our experience here.

This place is an absolute gem!! Our server was Michael but he's also the bartender and he was so nice and kind. My husband, Erik and I sat outside to eat and he was helping me with pointing out the sea lions and otters, it was a really sweet thing for him to do!
My husband and I had come in a bit early and was informed that a lot of the items wouldn't be ready until dinner time which was at 4 pm which we appreciated. He allowed us to enjoy our time outside to look at the wildlife and enjoy our drinks 😄
Then came the food! The best part of any restaurant experience! Everything was absolutely phenomenal, you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. We had ordered the clams in white wine appetizer, a small pasta dish, calamari, two orders of the catch of the day, tiramisu, and ice cream and it was all so good! If you're ever in the area I highly recommend this restaurant. They were all so sweet.
P. S. I also accidentally lost my spoon on the dock... but Michael came and saved the day and gave me a new spoon :) the service was so great here, I can't wait to come back once I'm in the area!

We walked in on a Saturday evening and were given a nice table with a view! Phillipe our server was exceptional and attended to us throughout the night. He went above and beyond. The rest of the staff was also very friendly. Food was excellent.

A Little Slice of Italy by the Wharf 🇮🇹✨ This spot has it all — a great location, authentic Italian dishes, and even a waiter who speaks Italian (which makes the pasta taste extra legit!). The wharf views are absolutely stunning, with a possible visit from an otter.. If you’re celebrating a birthday, get ready for a fun surprise — they’ll serenade you with “Happy Birthday” in Italian! 🎶🎂 And whatever you do… save room for the cannoli — that creamy filling is worth every bite. 🍰💫

You can’t call yourself authentic Italian when you put pecorino cheese on a bolognese dish😂
