I used to eat here pretty regular when I used to live up the street 30 years ago. The paella was the best around. So returning for nostalgia sake my partner and i decided to try a different dish. I ordered duck and he ordered Osso Bucco with penne. The duck was a bit undercooked and chewy and my partner of thrift felt that the meal was just'ok' and not worth what he payed for it. BUT the service was good and they had an exceptional wine list. I will return but only for the paella!

The service first of all was mediocre at best, the staff act like your annoying them just by being there. We were there for an hour and a half and still didn’t get to eat anything more than an appetizer. Wouldn’t waste my time or money on this place.Hello twhn,Thank you for your review and for bringing this to our attention. We are sorry you did not leave with the wonderful memories that so many of our guests speak of and that we did not have the opportunity to amend your visit prior to your departure. We apologize for the slow service you received as this is certainly contrary to our service standard. Rest assured your comments will be shared with our team in an effort to improve as we move forward. We certainly hope to welcome you back and demonstrate just how committed we are to personal and attentive service.Sincerely,Management of the Inns of Monterey

Il Grillo

Reviewed By Jerry B

Hoping for a dinner experience that matched our excellent wine/food walking tour of Carmel where Il Grillo was part of the experience, we were (sadly) underwhelmed by a very short, pedestrian menu of average quality, which was matched by lackluster service. I wanted so much for this to become "my" go-to Italian restaurant on the Peninsula... but, alas, it is not. Again, our taste of Carmel experience at Il Grillo was SO good, we went back for dinner... but were underwhelmed on all counts.

We just happened to pick out Mediterranean for a late lunch because it was convenient to where I could park the car. and we liked the menu. Good choice. We both had a pasta lunch and salad and a drink. The food was excellent and the service was excellent. The restaurant is a little on the small side.

Casanova Restaurant

Reviewed By mikesesq

Had been to this venerable restaurant many years earlier. How far has it fallen? Over the cliff as far as I am concerned. The evening started off innocently. Soon enough, we realized the sheer incompetence of the server and the kitchen. I ordered a highly touted rack of lamb special based on the glowing review of the server (four voluptuous bones with ample meat). When delivered to our table, most of the meat on two of “bones” had been sheared off leaving a tiny morsel of gristle. I pointed this out to the server, and he basically gave me a blank stare along with some lame double talk about the nature of natural meat cuts. If he had any clue whatsoever as a server, he would have said: “Sorry, sir, that is certainly not up to our standards.” But no, he wanted to argue about the obvious lack of quality. Bad meal. Avoid this place like the plague!

Il Tegamino

Il Tegamino is a family run restaurant in Carmel-by-the-Sea specializing in authentic Italian comfort food from Napoli, Italy. Il Tegamino does not accept reservations. It is first, come first serve. We hope to see you soon!

Reviewed By VadimT_12

Better than average small Italian restaurant in Carmel. Limited menu options (but don't be put off by this). Extensive wine list, both American and Italian. We particularly liked baked zucchini starter and signature ragu, but pasta and chicken were also quite good. Didn't have a chance to try desert as we were full after starter and main. No children menu, and plain pasta at $12 seem rather expensive. Price is about average for Carmel (meaning pretty expensive).If you after Italian in Carmel, this should be on your shortlist.

This is a great lunch treat with Dario dining. Quiet, small interest on side street with delicious Italian food & fresh pasta. I enjoyed lunch here with friends. Roasted cauliflower is excellent. Grilled octopus with watermelon & mint was refreshing. Meatball appetizers was very good as well.For dessert, the Bombe s the bomb.Friendly service completes the dining experience.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff and a very interesting menu, with lots of gluten free options. We ate here on our first day in Carmel and were so happy with the food and service that we came back for the next two evenings as well. Would highly recommend, especially the green Thai curry.
