Lovely front terrace and lovelier patio. Delicious trattoria style pasta, with particularly high marks for the gnocchi and cannelloni. Magnificent wine list featuring classics alongside discoveries.
Dave BoydApril 3, 2014
Loved our dinner here! Best of the week and best of many this year. The gnocchi are delicious and the food & service were excellent. The wine list and cellar are very impressive. Very romantic!
Natalie WilsonJanuary 12, 2016
Wonderful rustic pastas and spectacular wine book. The sommeliers here truly add to the dining experience. The restaurant itself has a lot of ambiance and romantic charm. Dog friendly as well!

Nice low key cozy place with great lamb, croquettes, pasta and gnocchi. Cute inside but lovely outdoors. The wine list is damn impressive but the “by the glass” is mostly the owner’s brands

Spinach gnocchi and cannelloni. They have an extended wine list, ask the sommelier for recommendations.
Rich NevilleApril 1, 2016
Seafood linguine was excellent as was the scallop and beef tartare starters. Wait staff is excellent and the suggested wine from the sommelier was fantastic. Their outdoor area is very dog friendly.

Go with the Burrata and tomato starter with balsamic, wow so delicious. Plus love the bread and sauce they give you at the table!
Laurent Ginestet-ArakiApril 29, 2019
The wife and I loved it here. Back patio is very cute and intimate. Cannelloni and short rib were both excellent. Could have done without the artichoke appetizer though. Definitely coming back.
StephenJune 26, 2015
The cannelloni was amazing, and the spinach gnocchi was out of this world. Intimate, but still fun for small groups (6 or so). Ask for a tour of the cellar.

Sunday Night. Amazing service. Spinach gnocchi and tartare are to die for. Linguini and Sweet pea raviolis are also delish. Dolce do Cioccolata (warm chocolate cake) is DA bomb! Wine selection is A1!
Di KadyrovaAugust 5, 2014
Gnocchi are perfect, as well as cannelloni! Liked the wine list which was extensive - get a local wine and you won't be disappointed!
Wolfgang MenkeApril 23, 2012
The lamb was just fantastic. The wines are great too. We Ask for mussels too, and it could had more attention. It had a lot of sand, but, nothing that makes it less delicious
Veronica HJuly 27, 2011
Get the spinach gorganzola gnocch graten- very pillowy. Get the lemon souffle. Get the Belgium frites (ask for the aioli that comes with the artichoke- you won't be disappointed!)

Ask for a tour of the wine cellar - unbelievable collection. The cellar was dug by hand while the restaurant operated uninterrupted upstairs. You've got to love the Casanova story! Read more

Underwhelming food, overwhelming wine. The under-seasoned entrées are worth bearing for the fantastic sommelier and his extensive wine list. A+++ would drink again.
Tania MartinezApril 4, 2016
3 things: Delicious home made pastas, amazing BOOK of wines and terrific service. Everything is great!
Eva JooDecember 30, 2015
The best restaurant in Carmel. I've been going to this restaurant for over 12 years & they are consistently excellent!
Connie ChiuDecember 31, 2016
Get the veal cause it got that bone marrow good stuff. Seafood fettuccine and spinach gnocchi we're good but not amazing. The pear dessert, get that good stuff.
Alana YarbroughSeptember 30, 2014
Everything is good here. Extensive wine list, try the gnocchi, the linguine, the pappardelle, and the cannelloni. Exquisite.
Ajay KhoslaJuly 8, 2022
Burrata and wine selection were excellent. Duck confit itself was okay but the salad and lentils with it were outstanding.
Jeff LittleMay 5, 2017
Been here 5+ times
Gnocchi and Cannoli is the perfect meal.
Kendra StormAugust 16, 2014
Delicious food and quaint patio seating. Extensive wine list (there's a Table of Contents for the book!)
Christine RødeJune 15, 2014
Get the spinach gnocchi and the sea salt bread. That's it. That's the best meal of your life 😍
Harry HMarch 9, 2018
The Endive was very good. The staff do not pay attention. They forgot us between every dish. And when you ask for 35% tip on the bill, you have to laugh, the service is not even close to that.
Charles HudsonMarch 8, 2014
Definitely get a tour of the wine cellar from the sommelier. 15k+ bottles and a great story.
EladMarch 15, 2014
Outside patio with great atmosphere. The veal rago and trout were great. Service was fantastic.
Chuck WestfallSeptember 19, 2013
The food quality is very high, service is prompt, and the ambiance is very pleasant. I would come back here any time!
Michael AshbyOctober 21, 2012
If you find the wine list dizzying (as I did), the house Cabernet is a great wine-by-the-glass option.
Katina MacDonaldJuly 18, 2015
Best gnocchi ever😍😍😍 and the excelent service too!
Maggie HarringtonJuly 24, 2012
Amazing meal!! Incredible wine list. Fantastic food. Had scallops with artichokes and bacon! Completely wonderful.
Adam MorrisonApril 14, 2013
Everyone is right on, Gnocchi is great! Skip the salmon. Osso Buca is fantastic. Delicious!
Julia FramelApril 25, 2015
Gnocchi was light as a feather. Wine, bread, cheese, and amazing service made for a wonderful evening.
DesireeNovember 20, 2015
Loved the atmosphere. Food was delicious. Beer was only sold by bottles the size of a wine bottle, which was a bummer.
AlexandraMay 30, 2011
With over 1900 wines on the menu you would be wise to take advantage of the sommelier. He's a gem, give him a taste of your special bottle.
Ronald WongJuly 5, 2012
The spinach gnocchi (Casanova gnocchi) is a must try! It's been part of the restaurant for over 30 years.
Toby PhillipsAugust 7, 2014
Perfect date night place. Get a reservation. The duck was fantastic.
Andrew CouldwellJune 26, 2015
Try the seafood Fettucini, it was excellent! Very nice place
Daniel MejiaApril 22, 2019
The Cannelloni and the Gnocchi!!
Ben TrottMay 10, 2015
Who wouldn't order gnocchi (large is recommended)
Chris ChildAugust 29, 2021
The swordfish is divine. Everything is fantastic, but it’s on another level.
Alexandre QuintoMay 4, 2016
The beef caneloni is amazing. Try to get a table in the patio and enjoy the sun.
Ghadah AM ✨July 9, 2022
Cozy place & delicious food with good service 😍
Preto SalgueiroSeptember 7, 2019
Menu is very limited, with only few Italian dishes, but the food is nice. The service was poor, taking too long to serve. The wine is vast, but the wine options were very expensive
Scotty FusionMay 26, 2014
The Gnocchi was amazing! Melts in your mouth so good!
Alina SharokhinaAugust 19, 2016
Cannelloni was great. Nice atmosphere!
Valentin GuerinJuly 4, 2016
Try the chicken raviolis and the lemon puffs
Gizem KayaJuly 22, 2016
Seafood fettuccine and the mushroom ravioli were perfect!
archana ravichandranJune 24, 2014
