Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Pacific Grove

The best meal I’ve ever had. Highly recommend! We had the seafood carbonara and ragu.

Excellent every time we go!! The only thing better than the food is the warm, caring service. Outstanding and consistent; always my first and favorite choice when dining out.

A charming restaurant with delicious food and great service. We will definitely make Basil a restaurant we return to when we’re in Carmel.

I have to admit that the last couple of times that we dined here their service was lacking. However, last night, Lorran made sure that our experience was one to remember, from the moment that we sat down to the end of the evening. Our appetizer specials were delicious and the flank steak and swordfish specials were amazing. The drinks were great as well! We are looking forward to our end of the year dinner!! Lorran, thank you for your amazing service last night and we look forward to seeing you soon!

I didn’t realize that it’s actually within the Doubletree hotel if that’s the hotel at the Prune Yard. No one was there. According to two servers, they didn’t have our reservation or at least there wasn’t a manager to confirm. We were the only customers until later in the evening. They looked like hotel customers were coming in, sitting at the bar and the outside fire pit so we had the servers to ourselves. They were very personable, helpful & friendly. The food was excellent and the prices were reasonable. I was with three other people. We had a really nice time and it was for my birthday last month, but getting together with friends to celebrate.
