If I die and go to heaven, this is the food they would be serving there. The people were nice and attentive. The FOOD. I have never had such perfect Eggplant Parmesan anywhere.
This was our second time here. We feel like we are in Italy in the charming outdoor patio. We had Calamari, salad and Eggplant parmigiana. Everything was great. We were able to sit in the patio under a heater even though we did not have a reservation. Enjoy
Excellent pizza -- we got three pizzas for takeout for our first night in Carmel -- all good, but I judged the "margherita" as outstanding. Service was good.
We were a party of 6 and we had a reservation. It took close to 20 minutes before the server came to take our orders. We had a fairly long wait until the 1 dishes came to the table . . . those of us who ordered salad were content, but those of us who ordered soup (bisque) were disappointed because the soup was barely lukewarm & had sat so long it had a skin on it. After those dishes were taken away, we had to wait another 45 minutes before the main courses were delivered . . . 4 out of 6 were cold or lukewarm. The mashed potatoes were cold, and the pasta with the salmon was so cool that the sauce had already started to congeal. The salmon was barely warm. The ravioli & chicken dishes were also not warm enough. Only the eggplant & shellfish had a semblance of warmth. The drinks we got ourselves at the bar were good, however. The inside seating area was so loud you could not be heard across the table (conversation was virtually impossible) & the server (when he finally would make an appearance) had a difficult time hearing us & we also had a hard time hearing him. Granted the restaurant was busy. However, I think more servers were in order. Overall, we were dissatisfied & very disappointed.
The food was fresh, the staff was very nice, and a good atmosphere (although chilly in the back of the restaurant since they keep the door open). We had the grilled artichoke, and it was good. The di parma pizza (prosciutto and arugula) was fresh and very authentic. My husband had the crab and lobster ravioli, which he liked. I found it too drowned in sauce and very rich. But overall, it's a good restaurant. I think we got lucky getting a table so get a reservation if you can.
It was unforgettable experience in this restaurant on 02/12/22! Fast and professional service with Kimberly, delicious pizza exactly like in Italy, I know it for sure, believe me)Strongly recommend
Food was good but the waiter was totally rude. Jason, the waiter, seemed so put out. We were a very easy party. We ordered our entrees and wine all at once. He was very short with us. If the tip wasn’t already included, we probably would not have given him anything. We’ve been coming here for 25 years. Little Napoli better be careful, because they are going to start losing customers.
It was pretty good. We got the margarita pizza and the carbonara pasta. The “famous” garlic bread sticks were interesting prolly wouldn’t get again but great food.
We remembered having a delicious meal here 15 years ago, But not tonight. The food was horrible. The bruschetta was soggy and the tomatoes tasteless. The Caesar salad had no dressing and didn’t seem to have fresh lettuce. The fish soup needed hot pepper flakes and the pasta needed grated cheese. Service was slow because they were so crowded. Our server was trying his best. Do not go there for good Italian food.
Diavola pizza was amazing. We also had aracini and truffle gnocchi which were delicious as well. Expensive just like everything else in this town so no surprise there. Good wine. The waiter let us taste 3 different wines before choosing.
