    The hostess was abrupt and not very friendly but everything else was perfect. Our waitress was fun, offered great selections, and provided excellent service. The atmosphere is wonderful. It has a real, subtle Italian feel in an old home. The food is amazing. I had the cannelloni. It was perfect size and perfectly cooked. The bread with the tapenade is a must. My friends’ meals were excellent too. Love this place.

    The ambiance was very nice and romantic. Service was great! Was there with my husband celebrating our anniversary. I tried escargot for the first time and the waiter made it a special experience for me . The food was very good . I would have given this place a 5 on food Instead a 3 but my ravioli was undercooked and cold. I was very surprised because my husbands food was good and warm. Slightly disappointed; otherwise great restaurant.

    Food was 10/10, really good. Only draw back was the higher price range. Service was really good as well, awesome recommendations by our server.

    Horrible experience. Ruined our anniversary dinner. Worst service I’ve ver had. I went to complain and I had a server get in my face aggressively telling me to go outside. The manager came and was complete rude , unapologetic, and cared nothing about us or the horrible experience. I can’t even put in to words how bad it was. Do not go there or waste your money. any other restaurant in Carmel would be a better choice.
