Wonderful fresh delicious food. Was at full capacity but wonderful service from our waiter Richard and the food was quite delicious. We ordered the fried artichokes as an app to share they were delicious! We also both ordered the cacio y Pepe with chicken and the pasta was fresh made and delicious. The chicken was very tender. We were quite happy with our experience.

I was a single and ate at the bar. My order was wrong and the server questioned me as if I did not know what I ordered. I know for sure since I have specific dietary requirements. I asked for my check and it took 29 mins to get it while staff were laughing and ignoring customers.

Authentic and Refreshing Italian Experience
Coming from Europe, I can say this was really good—tasty, refreshing, and worth every penny. It delivered a genuinely good Italian experience that felt authentic and satisfying.

Everything was fantastic! They had clam chowder for their daily special and it was genuinely the best I’ve ever had! My entire table loved their food and the prices were extremely reasonable! Our waiter was also a fantastically friendly gentleman! I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending them to everybody!

We’ve had chicken cacio e pepe and con maiale ragu with parpadelle (wide pasta). They were both very delicious and very fulfilling. And also without tip this was 56$ in total - pretty good price for this amount of food with this quality! You might want to get a reservation before coming though it’s pretty busy. A great experience overall definitely recommend it!

Had amazing service and delicious food on our first night of visiting Monterey. It was within walking distance of the Jabberwock Inn and recommended by the innkeeper, so we knew we had to stop by. The ragú (swapped out with parpadelle) and cacio e pepe pastas were as good as they looked. We’ll def be back!
We really wanted to like this restaurant - came recommended at the hotel and within walking distance. The Caesar salad was literally tasteless and the food we selected was disappointing (a Salmon dish and a Gnocchi dish). Other selections may be better ☺️ The service was 'OK', but not attentive.

We had a party of 6 including my two children.
Hidden gem tucked away on the Monterey Peninsula -- warm, inviting, and delightfully authentic. Cozy atmosphere - Simply outstanding: friendly, attentive, and always ready with an expert recommendation.
Everything we tried was fresh and delicious and creative. Even our grandkids loved this place.
Highly recommended for anyone craving top-tier pasta and hospitality in Pacific Grove!
Chicken marsala was on point!!!!
