My family enjoyed the chicken bbq pizza. Normally I like this type of pizza but I did not like the sauce. Their neapolitan crust was a bit dry for my mouth beds. They did prepare the pizza quickly. We did take out and by the time we got there, they were taking the pizza out of the oven. I might have enjoyed the pizza a lot more if we had chosen one with more traditional marinara sauce. I would try this restaurant again in the future.

Great place to go for some late-night food when other places are already closed. We shared a cheesy garlic bread (which wasn't very good but the portion was quite big for a starter) and a Neapolitan Style pizza (half was margherita and prosciutto and half was house pesto). The pizza was very tasty and we were even offered a free piece of tiramisu for dessert (because it was Tuesday). In terms of single-use cutlery, they were using paper straws and were wrapping cutlery in paper bags paper-ish bags, which wasn't too bad considering other places were using plastic cutlery.

Great quick service for a takeout order. They have plenty of seating inside and some patio seating. Seems like order at counter and they bring to you. Takeout was ready before stated time and was hot and fresh. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. The wood fire pizzas looked delicious. We did Tuesday pasta special and even without the discount the portion sizes and prices were excellent. The pasta was cooked perfectly and even taking it back to the hotel by the time we sat down to eat still was hot and fresh as it was first served. The meatballs were perfectly cooked and angus beef seasoned so well.

First night on Monterey and found this place! Live jazz music, amazing service and great food. Everything came really quickly and was lovely and fresh. Whole family impressed from the UK. Thank you

We ordered 2 pizzas, 2 pastas and a salad in person at the restaurant. All arrived quickly and were exceptionally delicious. I recommend the walnut, gorgonzola salad - one of the best salads I have consumed ever! Pastas - chicken alfredo and spaghetti bolognese - we polished off our bowls. Pizzas - plain cheese and artichoke - excellent, generous with topping and great also as leftovers.

Arrived late and were keen to have dinner in the outside seating area. Owner/staff were extremely attentive to arrange table for us and make us fell comfortable. Had two pizzas and side salads there and been to Italy often and seen some pretty mediocre Italian food in the US, these pizzas were pretty good and original. Same was true for the salads, not the usual Americanised salads with too much sauce etc., but plain oil and vinegar. Ok, the indoor seating atmosphere lacks a bit finesse and is rather simple, but hey, we sat outside and the food is really great - as is the service! Recommended.

We popped into MidiCi on a Thursday night, just as the Jazz duo was starting its set. Ordering via QR code was a breeze, and the food came out really quickly: Delicious Burrata Caprese, Superb Meat & Cheese platter (the spicy calabrese dipped in honey was *chef's kiss*), and a great Margherita pizza with arugula. Didn't need to order the Tiramisu BUT it was amazing! And the service was friendly and efficient, the live music added a lively atmosphere--perfect for a lighthearted evening after a long day of sightseeing. Thank you!!

Saturday night walk-in, two people. House pesto pizza was soggy, dripping with oil. Margerita with prosciutto pizza: arugula was yellow with brown ends, like it had been sitting in a bowl for two days. Chairs dirty, napkin dispenser smeared with oil. Wait staff were friendly. Save yourself from this place.
Stopped at MidiCi Monterey on the way down to LA with my mum and the food was delicious. We are from England and had the minestrone soup and Bruscetta to share. They were good sized portions and all I can say is I want the recipe for soup particularly as it was the best one I've ever had! Also the guy who served us was really welcoming and accommodating, he even spent time talking to us and making sure we were looked after well. We would definitely go there again!

We sat outside on a lovely day. Drinks were cold, service was fine. You order from your phone, and someone delivers to you. We had a meat and cheese board, which was delicious and plentiful. Prices can be affordable. We enjoyed it.
