Everything about our experience was exceptional...service, food, ambiance. Pizza is a must!!! Special shout out to the hostess, Nellie, and our server, Serge! You both are awesome! We will not wait another 20 years to go back. See you in October!!
Rooftop bar, happy hour, tasty small plates of real food, plus cozy seating at low tables and a few high tables, surrounded by trees, vines, and flowers! Delicious ribs, a real homemade GLUTEN-FREE white pizza were especially tasty. Eclectic crowd. Great service. Will return often.
Had dinner there on a Saturday night without reservations. We were not able to go upstairs to their patio but were able to sit at their bar and the bartender was excellent. Had dinner there and it was really exceptional. Their other unit in Carmel is Napoli's and it is fantastic as well
Fantastic food, atmosphere and staff. Can highly recommend this. Have Mama's garlic bread and babyback ribs for starters ( yes ribs in an Italian resturant) you will not be sorry. Main we had meatballs and chiken from the wood burner
Went for my one year anniversary because we'd eaten there on our honeymoon. The place was as great as I remembered. We sat on the rooftop lounge, it was a little windy but where isn't in carmel. Drinks were great , they even made one that wasn't on the menu when I asked. The food was amazing. The servers were on the ball. And my wife suprised me by having them play our wedding song so we could dance. I'd recommend this place to any and everyone.
We sat up top on the open-air deck for appetizers and wine. It was quite a lively scene for a Monday night. The upper deck has a number of firepits and heaters to keep everyone warm. We enjoyed a glass of house Cab each and ordered a couple of appetizers: Truffled Gnocchi and Calamari Fritti. The Gnocchi was baked in a flavorful sauce with truffle oil and parmigiano. The calamari consisted of tubes and tentacles and came with flavorful chipotle aioli dip. My wife ordered the crab bisque soup which we also shared. Service was a bit spotty but the food was excellent.
Excellent high quality Italian food. Sat at the bar, i had chicken piccata and my husband had pasta Bolognese .. fantastic meal
We went to this restaurant for a birthday dinner for my husband. It was far from expectations. We ordered cocktails and an appetizer to start, expecting a relaxing time. We were asked to give our order for dinner. Before we ever saw our appetizer, we had entrees served! And only one of them was what we ordered. My husband’s meal was not what he ordered. Normally, we would have had wine with our meal, but with all the problems we decided to just eat and leave. Too bad with my entree—over cooked salmon and undercooked asparagus. I understand having vegetables al dente, but these were hard—so hard they were nearly impossible to cut. So, no appetizer, no wine, not the desired entrees and, because of this negative experience, we didnt even think about dessert. Will we return—no!
Roof top dining along with great food was better than expected
5 stars for the rooftop - the ambience and the sunset views! We enjoyed happy hour drinks and nibbles... red wine for him, bubbles for me. The cheese and salami plate was okay... the olives were the best part. There were two types of cheese and two types of meat - but the ratio was skewed towards the meat. Which meant less cheese for this vegetarian. The toasted bread was a nice touch. For a few reasons, it was disappointing to get water served in a plastic cup. Sustainability wise, the use of plastic needs to stop as approx. 9% is actually recycled (down-cycled to be more accurate). I'd hope that a place with cloth napkins would also consider the experience that comes with drinking from plastic... it sort of takes it down a notch. Please consider making the switch - I'm sure you'll also save money!
