    We always dine here when we are in the Monterey area. Our favorite Italian restaurant! Every dish we’ve tried has been so delicious! Service is always amazing. Love the plant based diet additions to their menu. We will dine again the next time we are in the area!

    The best food on the pennisula. The team is wonderful, Rafael is the best - and the food is simply delicious. Everything from the Caesar salad, clam chowder, and lasagna was so flavorful and authentic. Truly a gem of a restaurant!

    Food was delicious. If I had to be extremely picky I’d say my ravioli was slightly undercooked but everything else was perfect. What I enjoyed the most was the spectacular service we received. People have forgotten how valuable this part of dinning is and I will certainly be back for this and the ambience. Plus I must try all the other food items. We were definitely underdressed since we visited after a Pilates class but I was not treated differently for it and I appreciate that. I will tell all my friends about this place and will be back very soon. Thank you!

    As usual, an amazing dining experience. I took three guests who had never been to the restaurant. They loved it. The food is authentic and delicious. Service was timely and informative. Can’t imagine a better place to dine with friends. The Negroni’s are wonderful

    Had the best linguine and clams second only to a great meal in Naples, Italy. Service was outstanding very attentive. Great wine list lots of local wines. I’ll be back to have my favorite pasta, the pappardelle bolognese best I ever had, just tastes the way it’s supposed to.

    As always charming , fabu service and the best pasta ever. Wine prices have gone up; food prices still very reasonable. It's got a lively but high noise level. You must have reservations. A great place.
