I’ve been dining at this restaurant for over 20 years, watching it evolve through various ownerships and management teams. At its peak, it was one of Carmel’s finest—known for its impeccable service, thoughtful farm-to-table approach, and a menu that catered to a range of palates, including vegetarians.
Unfortunately, those days seem to be long gone. While the setting remains charming, the experience has noticeably declined. The menu is now strikingly limited, and vegetarians, in particular, will find their options sparse. Even more disappointing is the restaurant’s firm stance against substitutions or modifications—something that feels out of touch in a time when flexibility and hospitality should go hand in hand.
The food itself? Just okay. While plated nicely, the flavors were uninspired, bordering on bland. A far cry from the creative, vibrant dishes that once defined this place. Service, once a standout, is now transactional at best. The warmth and engagement that made regulars feel like family have been replaced with a detached efficiency that lacks personality.
It’s disheartening to see a restaurant with such a storied reputation lose its way. Carmel has no shortage of excellent dining options, and sadly, this one no longer stands among them. Here’s hoping for a return to what once made it great.

I choose this place due to other reviews saying it’s a very romantic ambiance and they were right, we were seated outside in the back and i looks like every table had a heater which was so nice. For sure recommend the bread service, I will be coming back for sure!

We liked everything about the Casanova restaurant-the French countryside decor, the amazing service and especially the unique and innovative food. One of our favorite restaurants in Carmel By The Sea !

First, their menu is limited i believe to assure quality.
The problem is they serve the food barely warm or even cool.
I have been going for over twenty years. Last night food wise it was a failure.
The Cannelloni was completely different. Made like a stuffed flavorless burrito. Not like their original version which was light very flavorful. This was cold tough and should have sent it back.
The sole was wonderful but not hot, barely warm.
Our server was attentive.
But this is no longer the icon it used to be over the twenty years I have attended.
I have been through 4 chefs. None have equaled the original. Even the signature spinach gnocchi was served barely warm. Of course the prices have risen just like everyone else, but last night they failed to deliver.
