    Cobb Salad
    Terry C.

    Aliotti's Victorian Corner restaurant has been a staple in the Pacific Grove community for over 40 years. They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday in a well-maintained, beautiful Victorian building. The interior is warm and welcoming with plenty of seating for individual diners or groups. There is also a nice patio out in front of the building to enjoy a coffee or meal where one's fur babies are welcome. They have three large, diverse, multiple menus which offer diners to choose from many of Aliotti's specialties and classic selections for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For lunch, we enjoyed their Dutch Treat sandwich and a Cobb Salad. The Dutch Treat consists of ham & Swiss cheese on a warm French roll. The sandwich was large with a substantial amount of ham. It was served with a fresh green salad and perfectly cooked French fries which were crispy on the outside and pillowy-soft on the inside. Everything was delicious. Their Cobb Salad was plentiful with avocado, bacon chunks, hard-boiled eggs, turkey, tomatoes topped with blue cheese sprinkles over a bed of lettuce. I opted for ranch dressing on the side. One could taste how fresh all the ingredients were. Presentation perfect. The staff was extremely warm & friendly and attentive yet not imposing.

    Crab bene spinach omelette; no garnish or love

    Super friendly staff and great location. ... back in the day the food and ambiance had a locals only vibe and family owned. Sadly, the food is not bad but not much better than and ihop etc. Crab Benedict and spinach delight omelet did the job but not well enough to return.

    What to do with that extra hour when we "fall back", especially when it is a beautiful warm November day? Go out to brunch down at Pacific Grove and enjoy it at a leisurely pace when there are more locals than tourists. The weather was beautiful to enjoy a flavorful corn beef hash with poached eggs and Eggs Florentine Benedict outside under the Victorian facade of the house. The food and service were excellent and so enjoyable, returned just a few months later for the crab cake benedict from their special's menu and a meatball sandwich from their lunch menu under beautiful blue skies once again. Only note is I didn't see a price for the crab cake benedict so was surprised that it was over $30 when the receipt came. But I would definitely return, just maybe not for the crab cake benedicts unless I want a splurge. This spot is definitely worthy of my 1400 review and to take my childhood friend from back East for her favorite meal, brunch, the third time dining indoors. They must be doing something right if I am here 3 times in less than 6 months.

    Breakfast was amazing! I highly recommend this place, the food was so fresh and delicious. The sever was really nice greeted us once we came in. Very small town breakfast place, it was nice and quiet since it was early in the morning.

    Food - spectacular. Service - amazing. Orange sauce - delicious. The inside and outside are beautiful and cozy! Honestly you should stop reading this review and just go here!! :) also they offer a 3.5% discount if you use cash to pay. We will def be coming back for many years to come!

    Bacon eggs hash browns and sourdough toast
    Jennifer D.

    In my humble opinion, this is the best breakfast place in Pacific Grove! The spinach quiche is my favorite item along with the hashbrowns. The staff is so nice and helpful and you feel like you're part of the family. There is always a table or two of locals, and you can tell this is a ritual with them from the familiarity and joking with the staff. Don't miss this gem! And did you know that there is also a vacation suite above the restaurant that you can rent? Three bedroom and full kitchen! Lots of street parking, Pro tip: order the sourdough toast and bring a sweater as sometimes it can be cold when the door opens in winter, if you're seated nearby.

    Eggs Benedict
    Joyce P.

    Went here for Sunday breakfast. There is a lot of staff and they need it because it gets busy. I had a yummy blood orange mimosa and THE BEST homemade ham quiche I've ever had. I think it was 2 inches thick and so light and fluffy. Sorry about the photo (half-eaten) I just dove in as soon as it was in front of me and forgot the photo.

    Great food with large portions

    This is a small family run and owned restaurant. The staff is friendly, service is excellent and they are dog friendly! The food is amazing, breakfast, lunch and dinner. The owners Mary and Dom are the BEST!!

    Amazing restaurant. The service was incredible but the food was beyond amazing. The Reuben and the French Dip. Worth traveling to here for them.

    We went on a Friday for lunch. We had good service. I ordered the soup and sandwich. I opted for the tuna salad sandwich without bread and the cup of split pea soup. Both were tasty, but a very small Portion for the price! With tip and tax it was over $23 and I was still hungry. My friend had a Reuben sandwich that was tasty and served with a side salad and fries. Her Reuben with a glass of wine cost $47! Easy free street parking is available.

    Fun drinks to start
    Jenny H.

    Wow! What a pleasant surprise. We first thought - hardly anyone here so put our name in next door. After 10 mins we decided to give this place a try. Had the special ravioli dish and it was scrumptious. Ceasor salad was so fresh and lots of Parmesan. Boyfriend had the seafood pasta special and he loved it. Highly rec going here. Great ambience too. And waitress was a doll plus very attentive

    Our meal- Three Cheese Ravioli, Cheese Bread with a House Salad.  Delicious!
    Chet D.

    After a long day exploring 17 Mile Drive and Highway one along Big Sur we wanted a good meal. We drove into quaint downtown Pacific Grove and past the Victorian Corner Restaurant. It looked inviting, so we checked out the menu - with a good variety of choices at reasonable prices - and decided to go in. We were seated promptly and reviewed the specials, the beverage menu, and the dinner menu. I chose a local red blend wine while my wife had a Paso Robles Chardonnay. The server came back after a few minutes, and we placed our order. I ordered the three cheese ravioli with the homemade marinara sauce. We shared an order of the daily special toasted cheese bread and my wife ordered the house salad. I can say the ravioli was delicious. Likely the best I've ever had. Apparently their homemade raviolis with a blend of three cheeses. The texture was just right and often times I find marinara sauce can either be underwhelming or overpowering. It was perfectly balanced. What's the topping of fresh Parmesan and shredded basil. My wife enjoyed her salad with mixed greens, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and croutons and on the side, blue cheese dressing. Last but not least the cheese bread had four slices thinly sliced sourdough with a perfect blend of butter and melted cheese. Truly delicious! We enjoyed the meal so much we asked to review the breakfast menu with the likelihood that we'll be back in the morning!

    Banana cinnamon pancakes
    Michele G.

    Hey there party people Aliotti's is a great place. Been going by it for years and finally stopped in. There is always a bit of a wait but it's worth it. The atmosphere is quaint and homey, like you're sitting in Mama's kitchen. Our waitress was super friendly and kept the homey feel going. We never once had to ask for a refill on our drinks which was wonderful. We got the Banana Cinnamon pancakes as a starter. These were think and a bit dry you really need the syrup and butter to moisten them up. Having said that the flavor was very good. I had the pastrami sandwich. I was really surprised how lean the meat was. It was the best pastrami sandwich I've had in a long time. Hubby had the eggplant sandwich. He really enjoyed the flavors. It was served on top of garlic bread. Hubby said the garlic bread should have been crunchier to add texture to the sandwich. But it didn't stop him from chowing the whole thing down. I'm definitely going to go back so many more wonderful things to try on the menu. Be kind to one another

    I had the delicious Salmon for dinner tonight, absolutely delicious with yummy capers on top of the salmon.

There were no tables available that would fit our party. We walked around the restaurant a few times until we saw the back section that had a few large tables. There was a reserved sign for this section but nobody seated there. We asked if they had it reserved for a party or another large group but the employee curtly replied "just go sit there." There were some racks and trays spread out throughout the tables that we ended up rearranging ourselves while the others in our group placed our order at the counter. The staff at the register definitely weren't the friendliest which was a little disappointing. I hope their curtness was due to it being busy. I wasn't necessarily thrilled with the food either. The pizzas tasted good but were super impractical. They were not sliced all the way through and the toppings were the consistency of soup. As soon as we would rip off a slice, all of the toppings would slide right off. The only thing that was left was the dough with some sauce. We had to literally scoop all the toppings up with forks because everything was so soupy and soggy. Their soda machine had really good, crisp soda though! I loved the interior of this restaurant. The decor feels very nostalgic, with the checkboard table clothes and sky-painted ceilings. There is a small bar with TVs and ice cream sold at the entrance. I'd like to give Gianni's another shot!
