Loved the pappardelle with bolognese sauce - tasted like heaven. I’m Italian and the only other place that the pasta was this good was in my nanas basement! Great job thank you

LOVE this little restaurant. Everything is impeccably done; wide range of options; extensive & reasonable wine list; full bar; and friendly, gracious & professional staff. We go every time we come down from San Francisco & brought friends who are huge Italy aficionados, who are now also fans.

We were visiting from MA and found this restaurant among some of the highest rated nearby, and it didi not disappoint. The food was delicious, homemade, and so fresh. The service was superior. Mezzaluna earned its 5 stars on Open Table and I would highly recommend it.

We come here almost every time we are in Carmel. It’s in the next town over, but always worth the short drive through the forest. Handmade pasta, house made mozzarella, a full bar… of course we keep coming back!

Amazing meal. All pastas are homemade. Had the mozzarella/funghi and pate apps which were incredible. Great flavors and textures. For dinner we enjoyed the lobster fettuccine, carbonara, and the dish that was a homage to NYC-sausage, peas and tomatoes with the freshest pasta. For dessert we finished with homemade gelato. The service was fantastic, the food transported me back East and we will be back. Not to mention, the wines for their price point drank really well.
