Annie Ochoa BenitezFebruary 15, 2015Simply great good... If its booked sit at the bar w Cliff, great service
Liz SchwartzAugust 20, 2013The Cornetto pizza is amazing! I highly recommend anything created with their freshly made mozzarella.
Preto SalgueiroSeptember 6, 2019Really nice food and amazing service. Nice cellar and wine list! Recommended
Eileen MarieJune 24, 2013Still a good place . . . but my overall experience was not as good as it has been in the past. I can't put my finger on it, just a subtle decline in food, service and experience.
Michael SpinelliAugust 27, 2018Luca’s Bucatini cacio e pepe is so good it should be classified as a Schedule I drug.
- Matt BernsteinDecember 27, 2014Octopus starter was very good, as was the pizza. My favorite was the ragu pasta.
Cat ReynoldsDecember 30, 2013Lovely restaurant. Lovely staff. Long wait for food. Octopus starter was good. Burrata was nothing special way too cold. Pizza disappointing. The rabbit, peas with open Gnocchi was wonderful.
Salma ZawawiApril 22, 2012Definitely get the broccolini side dish and walnut cake for dessert!!! Excellent!
- Great Italian wine list and authentic piatti in a lovely open room - the best in town!
The Bistecca is to die for!!! And the burrrata cheese with the crostini is amazing!!!!
Janet VanderhoofMay 16, 2010Great food, great location, great bar, cures their own meat, pizza oven, need reservations
Carsten RoehrJanuary 18, 2015How can you bake an artichoke in fatty cheese and bechamel sauce? Not italian and not good! Pasta was ok..
J DruniAugust 18, 2018Too expensive for what you get . Also, true Italian restaurants don’t charge for bread .
Señora TorresOctober 11, 2012Not great meal here. Stale breadsticks, too much cheese and frozen peas in carbonara :( came recommended by a person in town and all the reviews look good but something must have changed
Patrick AlexJanuary 7, 2017Não deixe de comer a pizza afumicatta, com um bom vinho! Simplesmente sensacional. O tiramissu é outra maravilha. Vale a pena vir aqui.
Sandro FreireDecember 10, 2013De entrada um pão italiano quentinho com azeite e ervas. Como prato principal Pumpkim Ravioli é sensacional acompanhado de um vinho tinto suave.
Alan FrankNovember 20, 2011Great Italian Wine and Dinner!!!! Melhor restaurante de Carmel. Ganhou diversos prêmios! Ótimos vinhos e comida saborosa! Ambiente aconchegante e romântico!
Marcia VieiraJanuary 29, 2015Bom vinho, simpatia no atendimento. Vindo a carmel mao deixe de visitar.
Rogerio PeresMay 21, 2014Não gostei; a comida não é boa, atendimento é eficiente mas não é nem um pouco simpático
