Any meal here is great really however recently we really try to make it to their brunch . We have had so many of their items on the brunch menu and we never had a miss but we always order the breakfast burrito it’s one of our favorite breakfast items anywhere. If you can’t make it for brunch they have great pasta dishes and pizzas . On Sundays they have a pop up and we always get fried chicken sandwiches and Mac n cheese to go when we are on family outings to the beach or park . I wish I had got some better photos because this does it no justice. It’s a great restaurant for families or date night in a cozy location.

The place was pretty plain but the staff was very friendly and the food excellent!

I found the pasta to be super salty. They used to cook their sourdough bread crispy and salted to perfection with a drizzle of olive oil but now it seems like there's no flavor to it and they just steam it. It's not near as good as it used to be. When I asked the manager why it was different she basically remade it and kind of threw it at me. Ever since then the experience has been ruined.

DIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN! We started with apps: onion rings (normally a side), cheesy garlic focaccia, and pancetta balsamic Brussels sprouts
Entrees included: spicy rigatoni with burrata (burrata was extra and 10/10 worth it), butternut squash ravioli with ricotta (ricotta was extra and worth it), organic beef lasagna, and parmesan crusted chicken.
Desserts: s’mores cookie, birthday cake cookie and tuxedo cake.
Didn’t have a bad thing and wish we could’ve eaten more! Rudolfo and his team run an efficient and great restaurant. Though it seems small in size, the portion sizes were hearty and every bite packs in so much flavor and we are SO excited to come back in the next couple months.
This for sure will be a staple any time we visit Monterey.

Cute spot. Good for getting caloric intake. Food is bland. Service abysmal.
Only come if you have nothing better to do.

My family and I loved our experience here recently. All the food was fantastic. The dough on the pizza might be the best I’ve ever had. I would love to return and try the pastas in the future. Our Brussels Sprouts with pancetta were delicious. The Cesar tasted fresh and savory at the same time and the house made croutons gave the salad a delicate and not super hard crunch like store bought. We sat out on the sidewalk on a beautiful day and look forward to being back.

I love this place is incredible. Food, service, location are all great. 1st time had the meatballs, bolognese, Brussels sprouts (huge serving) and lemon ricotta ravioli.
Next was the terrific spicy rigatoni alla vodka with burrata. Spiced just right! We made our own pizza with red sauce, basil, and arugula. What a great pizza. Crust is perfect and sauce is spiced just right.
We’ll definitely be back for more and bring friends.
Amazing food I had the Pepperoni Pizza, which was amazing. The meatballs with the fresh focaccia bread was really tasty, the Brisket sandwich was amazing and the Burger was delicious. Fast and friendly service. Will definitely go back here.

Pasta is my absolute favorite food. My go to comfort meal. And it has been since I was a kid. However, because I eat it all the time I have learned to make incredible pasta at home. In fact, it’s usually better than most restaurants I go to. Usually. But this is the type of place I get excited about. Tonight was my first time here, and I’m so sad it’s taken me this long. I have finally found a restaurant that makes getting pasta out worth it. We actually got a pizza to share as an appetizer (which was fantastic). I LOVE Nduja and it’s not often you find a place that has it so of course I had to order that. Then I got the bolognese pasta. You GUYS! Phenomenal!!! First off. Fresh pasta…you can tell by the delicious chew and color this wasn’t from a box. And it was cooked perfectly. Any pasta girly will tell you there’s nothing worse than an overcooked noodle. Next off, the sauce. THE. SAUCE. Pretty sure it had a little hint of Calabrian chili in it which I love and use in my pasta at home all the time. Not spicy, but just takes it to a different level. Not your typical run of the mill red sauce. This was pure love. This was everything that is good and right in this world. Not to mention the tender chucks of slow cooked meat. This was more of a ragu than your standard bolognese but I’m not mad at it. Clearly. And even though I was stuffed I needed to try the gelato. For scientific purposes and what not. I’ve had amazing gelato. I’ve had horrible gelato. Even in Italy it can be a real mixed bag. And even though I can’t put it in the ranks of the best gelato I had in Italy it was definitely some of the best I’ve ever got here in the U.S. A perfect way to end our dinner. I’m so happy I have leftovers to eat tomorrow. And I can’t wait to come back. Only problem is that I want to try the other pastas they make but I don’t know how I can not order the bolognese again. Anyways, just come here. Service was great as well. All the employees seemed very friendly and happy. Can’t wait to eat here again.

The spicy rigatoni alla vodka is one of the best dishes I've ever eaten. The service was excellent and fast. Bit loud and cramped, so if you have sensory issues I'd sit outside. In all, amazing spot. Place a reservation!

Best restaurant in the PG/Monterey area. Amazing food, considerate service, great menu, and absolutely worth every dollar. Their chicken parm is the best in the area. I don’t even want to try new restaurants because I keep going back to Rudolfo’s!
