Authentic artisanal flavors food made from scratch. Enjoyable atmosphere very relaxed and very pleasant. The service was incredible.. read more

I've been coming here the same time every year for the past 3 years, the dinner before my Monterey Half Marathon. It's always been such a treat to myself. For Father's Day, I decided to take my husband for the 1st time for Father's Day. I asked for a spicy margarita and the waiter said, "The kitchen has not peppers." I asked, "If instead of the sides that come with my steak, could I just get a naked simple salad... just a bunch of leaves?" He said, "They do not do substitutions." I told him that they've done it before. I told him I was just there last November. I asked the waitress. She said she'd ask the chef. When she came back, she said it's one of their normal salads that are premade and if that was ok. I said, "yes. Thank you." There was no charge. The waitress made me feel like she wanted to help and actually did. Our waiter last night said that if I want a salad, I'd have to order salad for the regular salad price. Then, he said they found peppers in the kitchen and could make my margarita spicy. Admittedly, initially, I was shocked the kitchen didn't have any peppers, a Michelin Guide restaurant. This waiter was terrible and acted like he did not want to help. I ordered brocollini instead bc it was cheaper than having to order an additional salad. The waiter apologized and asked if I read the no substitution rule on the menu... Really? The waiter said we have never done substitutions before. This surprised me bc they did for me last November. My toddler is sitting next to me. I don't have the luxury or want to read an entire menu. He said the chef would come out to talk to me. I was find with that in fact wanted that to happen. The chef never came out to talk to us. I will never come back to this restaurant. I'm sad bc I run the Monterey Half every year and this was a treat to myself. But never again. Sad to want to share a nice place to my husband for Father's Day and to have a terrible waiter and experience in what was supposed be magical as every time I've been here before. read more

Tried out Casa Nostra over Memorial Day weekend. I ordered the mushrooms as an appetizer really tasty but for $25 you would expect a bigger portion. 2/5 I ordered the 8oz New York steak ($85) honestly super bland and definitely not worth the price. The steak was very chewy and the texture was tough. Came with spinach and baby potatoes. 2/5 My lady ordered the salmon with green peas, carrots, and a mustard sauce/dressing (around $65). Unfortunately that one wasn't much better either. 2/5 Only thing that really stood out was the Vans Old Fashioned cocktail that drink was actually really good. 5/5 Ambiance was decent, just really busy for a Monday because of Memorial Day weekend. Overall, probably wouldn't go back for the food. Total came out to roughly $250 after dessert! read more

Khalida was excepcional! She did such a great job, is very knowledgeable of the menu. Highly recommend making reservations. We went on a Monday evening and it was busy. The food was soo good, we enjoyed every bite. Make sure to take a jacket, especially if you're sitting outside The heaters are on and I believe they have blankets too for the patio tables. I loved the vibe of this restaurant. We ordered oysters and they were very delicious. We also tried mushrooms and bone marrow and it was the best thing we tried 100/10. Everything we ate was delicious. Go check them ou read more

We went here for our anniversary dinner, and it was amazing! We saw recommendations of this place on TikTok and in several guides when planning our trip to Carmel, and it definitely exceeded our expectations. We ordered the seafood pasta and lasagna, both of which were amazing and packed full of flavor. We paired it with a lovely Chardonnay as recommended by our waitress. The ambiance of the place is very old-world Italian villa vibes, and it is in a great location tucked away from the main street of Carmel. Would definitely come back here for a lovely local date night dinner! read more

Casanova - Italian Near Me - Carmel-by-the-Sea, California

Casanova is soaked with history. Charli Chaplins cool lived here until she passed and the property was purchased and remodeled by the current owners. Not much to look at from the outside it is full of romantic charm inside. There is a large tree growing right in the middle of the restaurant making the establishment mostly open air. Casanova has the largest wine selection in Carmel and also has a sommelier. Unfortunately the wine cellar was having work done so we could not see it. We reserved Van Gogh's Table. Yes it is the table Van Gogh had meals at during his last days. No it's not just a room named after Van Gogh. The table was acquired in 2002 and can be reserved. Eating at the table was far more rewarding than looking at a piece of art or walking through a historical building. Service was fast and courteous we had no complaints. Our meal was excellent. The macerated beet salad was won of the best I gave had. The local caught salmon was also excellent. Prices are high and portions are not large but the romantic ambience is undeniable. read more

Cozy and intimate European cottage tucked away in Carmel with dim lighting, rustic wood tables. Food is rustic French and Italian influenced. Some of the highlights were: *the Roasted Mushrooms: with garlic parsley butter, parmesan and served with warm toasty baguette. Simple but delicious and comforting. *Whole filet of Dover sole sautéed in a meunière (golden brown butter) sauce with lemon. A classic old school French preparation well executed. delicate. Flaky with a light crisp on the outside from the pan. The brown butter adds a nutty richness, while the lemon cuts through with just enough brightness to keep it balanced. * The Slow Braise Lamb. The lamb is fall apart tender. The kind you can cut through with a. The sauce is rich and savory with a wonderful depth of flavor that is slightly earthy, slightly sweet from the onions, and full-bodied without being overly heavy. The mushrooms add a nice woodsy balance, Excellent service throughout our meal. Only disappointment was that I had requested the Van Gogh table and even received confirmation over the phone, but when I arrived, the hostess had no record of it. Oh well, it is what it is. Happy Eating! 29 read more

Amazing food, great ambiance and service. Perfect for date night or special occasion. Pricey but worth it.

Ok. Whole review matters here. 1. Hostess was rude. Not friendly. (Marina?) 2. Sommelier (Matthew) spent a total of 76 seconds asking us about the wine we liked before settling on a bottle and walking away. 3. Server (Hector) nice guy, but not a friendly vibe. We looked up reviews and expected an amazing experience, and we feel like we got less than half of that. Didn't end up ordering a main dish because we felt unwanted here. We spent $100 on 2 martini's and caviar at the place next door for happy hour. It wasn't about the money, it was the treatment. Did not ever feel welcoming. The only nice person to us was the busboy, Carlos, who just started there. We were dressed nice and acted appropriately, but felt the service, from the second we walked in, was jaded or rude. Will not be coming back. Vibe check: 3/10 Restaurant ambiance: 7/10 Food: 6/10 (apps) Service: 2/10 Welcome Host: 2/10 read more

I was really disappointed with our experience at Casanova. The service was extremely poor from start to finish. No one came by to check on us, ask how our food was, or see if we needed anything else throughout the meal. We felt completely forgotten. I had also noted in the reservation comments that we were celebrating my husband's birthday and even mentioned it again, but nothing was ever acknowledged. While I don't expect anything extravagant, some recognition would have been appreciated. As for the food, it was hit or miss. The linguine was delicious and easily the highlight of the meal. However, the bone marrow with mushrooms was disappointing, the mushrooms were rubbery and there was very little marrow for the price. The Dover sole was also underwhelming, as it was bland and desperately needed seasoning. Fortunately the ambiance somewhat made us forget about the lack of attention as it gives off a quaint tavern vibe. Overall, the food had some bright spots, but the lack of service and attention to detail made for a frustrating dining experience. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return based on this visit. read more

The restaurant is set up with a tree in the middle which was very good. We started with mushrooms that had the same sauce as escargot which was delicious and baked Bri with honey. Then I got the linguini and that was absolutely delicious. Service was quick and attentive - highly recommend! read more

Casanova - Mushroom - Italian Near Me - Carmel-by-the-Sea, California

It honestly pains me to write this because my husband and I have loved Casanova for years. We first dined here in 2023 and have talked about it ever since; so much so that we chose to come back to celebrate our anniversary. That's why this experience felt so disappointing. We were especially excited for the bone marrow, but within the first few bites, we found a hair in the dish. I tried to brush it off, but moments later, we found another long hair tangled in the food. At that point, I felt completely unsettled and honestly couldn't continue eating it. When we let our waitress know, she apologized, but then left the dish sitting on our table for the next 15 minutes while we just sat there, uncomfortable and unsure of what to do. There was no offer to replace it, no reassurance, no real attempt to fix the situation. Eventually, she came back and simply asked if we were done and took it away. What made it worse was that we then had to awkwardly ask for the dish to be remade ourselves--something that, in our experience, should have been immediately offered. For a restaurant at this price point, the lack of care in handling something so off-putting was honestly shocking. My husband and I genuinely think that if we had not said anything, this issue would not have been resolved and we would have ended up paying for a dish that was inedible due to poor preparation. Thankfully, the refired dish and the rest of the meal (spinach gnocchi, prime rib, cannelloni, and rice pudding) were delicious, and the atmosphere is still as warm and charming as we remembered. But the way this situation was handled completely overshadowed what should have been a special anniversary dinner. Mistakes happen. The way they're handled is what defines the experience. Unfortunately, this one left us more disappointed than anything else. read more

Great vibe and great service. I had the Cannelloni and a beautiful salad. My husband had a refreshing chicory salad that was on special and the Linguini. Both meals were delicious! Definitely going back next time we visit Carmel. read more

This was the most horrible experience I have ever had at any restaurant, ever. If you look at my other reviews, you'll see that I rarely give any place 1 or 2 stars because I am always at least moderately satisfied. First of all, we didn't even eat, we left shortly after being seated. We had this reservation for over a month now, and we had specifically requested indoor seating. When we arrived, they let us know that they wouldn't be able to accommodate that request. I fully understand that requesting indoor seating does not guarantee that we will get it. HOWEVER, we came about 10 minutes early, and once we were seated and realized how cold the breeze was despite the heaters, we kindly asked our server if we could get a table inside, and that we were fine with waiting however long. He went to speak to his manager and came back to let us know that we would not be able to get a table inside due to it being fully booked out. I asked if the inside was fully booked by the people who requested indoor seating. He responded yes.... Did we not also request indoor seating? Why are other parties being prioritized in their requests when we also had a reservation since 5 weeks prior and we even said we were willing to wait however long? Our reservation was at 7:45, we arrived at 7:35, and the restaurant closes at 9:30. What do you mean you can't give us a table inside for the entire remaining 2 hours of the night? We were going to just suck it up and eat here, but this is one of the most expensive restaurants in Carmel, and we could not justify spending $150+ per person given the circumstances. I would have felt much better about the whole situation if they had been even just a little apologetic or at least explained the reason for their inability/unwillingness to accommodate our 5 week old request in a way that actually made logical sense, but their attitude clearly showed they could not care less. Even when I went to the front to kindly let them know we would be leaving (even if I was upset, because I did not want to complain since we'd be leaving anyway), there was ZERO regard for the way they practically drove away their guests, and not even a fake apology. Just an "ok" from the lady at the front. I didn't place the highest expectations in the first place since I had never dined in the area before, but I expected way more from a supposedly renowned restaurant. For obvious reasons I can't speak on the food, but if you are looking for a true upscale experience and service, take your business elsewhere. read more

Glad I picked Casanova for our only night in Carmel and my bday dinner . I had visited over the years but last time was a while ago, the menu has improved considerably and we loved everything The food was outstanding Service was gracious, kind , very attentive people work there and makes sure everyone is having a good experience We sat in the front patio , plenty of tables and dog friendly, it was a fall evening and started getting cold but they have heat lamps.

I really enjoyed my dinner at Casanova but overall was let down. We were celebrating a special occasion, and given how much we spent, I would've liked something special or a free dessert. Anyways, I have also been here before and the quality of the food was a bit of a miss. Tapenade with bread: 7.5/10 There were three pieces of bread and the tapenade was not good. Bread was really good though. Burrata: 9/10 Fresh and great combo with the peaches and plums. Lamb: 7/10 Flavor was really good but for $80 it's two pieces of lamb and they were 20% fat and 50% bone. Mushrooms were delicious though. Wagyu: 6/10 Not sure how you can call this wagyu when it was so tough! It also has weird bits of tough lining. Not worth $100. Gnocchi: 7/10 Was super disappointed as I have dreamt about eating this again. The gnocchi crumbled because it was overcooked and the cheese was super thin and the sauce was super liquid. Very bummed overall. read more

I was influenced! I found Casanova on social media & had I looked more into reviews - I may have avoided. But overall, I think I'm still glad I gave it a chance. I had it for a later birthday dinner on a trip to Monterey. I took the last indoor reservation at 9pm. We decided to uber here since we came earlier in the day & the parking was such a hassle. Definitely recommend ubering, or coming at least 45 minutes early to try to find parking! The hostess was pleasant & got us seated right away. Our server was a gentleman who was rather short & seemed rather uninterested in us, which seems consistent with other reviews. I asked about a cocktail I thought I had seen & he scoffed & said "ha - no. wrong restaurant." Which to be fair, my memory isn't great but I don't really enjoy it being pointed out in such a way. I was going to ask for a recommendation but after that, I chose the Fairybird 95. I thought it was just okay. We started with the bread service & mushrooms. The mushrooms were the star of the show, but moreso the oil dipped in the bread. My partner got the cannelloli which he really enjoyed, and I got the gnocchi. The gnocchi to me, after seeing so many raving reviews, was just okay. To me if you've had Italian food in New York, I don't think this will be a stand out place. I think you moreso go here because it is beautiful and very vibey. They also had a very extensive wine list, which is great if you partake. The cocktail menu was quite short, maybe seven drinks total. We ended our dinner with tiramisu which I do think was delicious. This was recommended by our server & I'm thankful he did. It had a very lovely & rich espresso flavor. I don't have much to say about the food which is a bummer. The thing that really stands out to me is how rude the server was & how little he said beyond being rude to me. He was interacting with other tables around us just fine - so I don't know why he couldn't handle our initiation interaction differently. It's a shame because I probably wouldn't have come back either way so I would've liked my one visit to have been more positive. read more

The service here was excellent warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, the kind you savor bite by bite. If you're looking for a relaxing, romantic evening, I'd highly recommend this place. It is on the expensive side, but the quality of the food is truly worthy of a five-star rating. One of the most charming details? There's even a room where the painter Picasso once dined, which adds such a unique touch to the atmosphere. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five was the cost but if we're talking purely about the food, it's an easy five. read more

Great spot for date night vibes. We sat outdoors by the tree in the courtyard and thought it was romantic and a great setting for a lovely evening. The food was good but greatly overpriced for what you get. I got the seafood linguine after having seen Carmel influencers hype it up online, and for a $58 dish I was pretty disappointed that the shrimp was overcooked and the dish overall can be more flavorful. The highlight for us was the gnocchi dish, which had great flavor and texture. For the price of what you get, we likely will not return unless we are looking for an Italian place more for the vibe over the food. read more

I would say food is average, not justified with price,the waiter we ask some questions about the food size and recommendation, I wouldn't say he wasn't very honest.

So I read the reviews before coming here. Lots of people said the staff was rude or condescending. And ohhhhh boy, if they were I was going to give them a piece of my mind, starting with the arrogant hostess. However, all the staff on arrival were actually pretty chill. Probably best servers we've experienced here. We were sat outside and the place looks like an old school Italian Resteraunt very cool. I think they could have really set the vibe by playing Italian music. Sommelier came out and said happy anniversary and brought 2 complimentary sparkling wines. My wife is pregnant so I drank both haha. We started with the bone marrow, escargot and gnocchi spinach. Bone marrow was the best I've had in my life. They sprinkle mushrooms over the top as well. Escargot I've never had before and it was BOMB. Just try it. The gnocchi was soft and fell apart in your mouth. My wife said it was good. I didn't try much of it because I was saving space in my stomach. Our main course was the linguini and the cannelloni. Linguini was the BEST I've had in my life. I'm a critical reviewer too, look at my history haha. Soooo good. Seafood tasted fresh, the sauce was a lemon bathed godsend. Actually ate the whole thing. Wife's dish was also really good but she couldn't finish it because she was full and it was heavy. No space left for desert we would have popped. Must try Resteraunt. I hope the staff are cool and kind to you. Even though I left a glowing review, I do recommend you leave a 1 star review if they treat you like trash. No good food is worth trashy service. read more

We came for dinner while visiting Monterey. Service was friendly, food was delicious, and Casanova is cozy even you're sitting outside on a cold night. We had the Fromager D'affonoise (cheese plate), lobster bisque, crab cake, gnocchi, cappelletti (with kale and chanterelles), cannelloni, chocolate mousse, apple pie/tart, and tiramisu. I've never had anything like the cappelletti, but if returning I'm not sure I'd re-order it (I have had the cannelloni several times). I didn't realize that patio reservations include the front patio, I thought it was just for the courtyard. Next time I'll be sure to reserve inside in the fall/winter. It took me a good long while to warm up outside, and I was cold even with heaters and blankets for quite a while. That was the only negative. Casanova is a beautiful restaurant worth the trip (just make sure to reserve inside in the fall and winter). read more

We got there early, a little before 6 and were seated immediately. We sat outside so it was a little chilly but there provide blankets and heaters. The outside was very serene and quiet. The service was nice but not overly attentive, which is ideal. They suggested the bass over the Sole. Everything was tasty. My bf got the ribeye, best bite. Also dog friendly if you sit outside. Surprised they had 3.9 score. Would rate 4.6! read more

We made a reservation at this restaurant after seeing it a few times and had high hopes for this place. Overall I love the whole vibe of the restaurant as it was cozy and the service is great. You have to get the bread to start as it is so good, although the price is a little hefty. For entrees we got the linguine w clams and mussels, short rib, and duck confit. We were all happy with our food although it did take a while to come out. The short rib and duck were cooked great and had good flavors as well. The linguine was unique and deviated from the traditional italian dish as it was fairly creamy and had multiple types of seafood which I enjoyed. My favorite were the mussels, but I do think the shrimp was slightly overcooked. We also got their chocolate mousse for dessert and it was so so good! Overall I think this place is definitely worth a try and I could see myself coming back to try new items as the menu rotates. read more

This place has been on my list for a while, and I was finally able to try it this month - unfortunately it was a bad experience for us. Customer Service: The first interaction we had when entering kind of set the tone for the rest of the experience. We made a reservation on OpenTable and noted that we preferred a table with 4 seats because we had a toddler with us ( 2 + 1 toddler).When we walked in, the hostess could have been more attentive. She was standing at the hostess desk but was in the middle of a conversation with a group of customers seated near the entrance. I didn't mind that she was talking with them, but we ended up standing there awkwardly for about two minutes while she continued the conversation. After finishing, she told our waiter to seat us at a certain table. Since it was our first time there, we followed him out the front door thinking he was walking us into an alternate pathway to an " inside area". However, our selected table was outside/front entrance seating area. This immediately felt a bit disrespectful--especially since it was about 30 minutes before sundown and no one else was seated outside. We went back in to request an indoor table, but she told us there were none available. She did mention that we could sit at a six-person table near the entrance. But we were a party of 2 + 1 toddler - I said we could wait but she insinuated there were no tables left and didn't plan on using it that evening. What made the situation feel even more disappointing was seeing several other families of three to four people come in after us and get seated right away in the main dining area. One party without a reservation was also given an automatic table.When more families came in, we recognized NONE were " prompted" to seat outside. We also began to notice, our party of 6 table is not the best section of the restaurant bc of the foot traffic and the dining shelfs where waiters come/go for plates/glasses. Food: We ordered the gnocchi appetizer, which was very tasty. For our entrées, we had the seafood linguini and the cannelloni. They weren't bad, but we've definitely had better entrées at other Italian restaurants. Considering the price point, we were expecting a bit more in terms of flavor and overall quality. Waiter: Our waiter was very kind and friendly throughout the meal. There were a couple of small things--such as having to wave him down to order dessert and later to ask for the check--but overall he was pleasant. We still tipped him 20% because we didn't want our overall experience to reflect poorly on his service. read more

From the warm welcome to the service, ambiance and delicious dinner I could not have been more pleasantly surprised. If I could critique anything it would be that they offer a warm dinner plate rather than a cold appetizer plate when sharing an $80.00 Rib Eye. It's the little things that go a long way. We will definitely go back the next time we visit Carmel read more

I went here from my birthday, and it was a great experience! We received free champagne. We ordered the escargot and halibut and both were tasty. We then ordered a chocolate mousse (not pictured here), and that was rich and delicious. Our waiter was really attentive and food came at a reasonable time. We sat at the patio which is pretty much indoors because it was well covered and there are heaters to keep you warm. Just a heads up that there is no address in Carmel, and you'll have to find the restaurant via Apple Maps or using the cross street of Mission and 5th street. Also, there's only street parking. We'd love to come back again! read more

Honestly just isn't worth forking out the money for this spot. My wife's crab risotto was alright but nothing to phone home on. I had a sea bass which was a generous portion but had 0 seasoning. The side of mushrooms and other veggies was very bitter and overall a very bland dish. Staff was nice but seemed in a rush at times. The outdoor/indoor vibe was cool but I don't pay for vibes I pay for good food which this wasn't. read more

Was incredibly excited to try this spot and was also impressed at the proximity to our hotel (The Stillwell). We thankfully made reservations for dinner. We went during a busy time and still had to wait but the ambiance of the outside waiting area distracted both of us to not notice that we were waiting for a table. Once we were called, they placed us in the little courtyard in the heart of the restaurant where we dined underneath the tree there. The ambiance was romantic, comfortable, and homey. My boyfriend and I ordered the bone marrow as an app while the seafood pasta and duck confit were decidedly our entrees. The food was spectacular and well executed. Everything came out piping hot and service was phenomenal. We wre seated against a sort of bar which allowed for us to converse with many of the staff which was nice. Definitely would return for the whole experience! Worth trying out if you have never gone. read more

Holy smokes! This place was shockingly good! I came here on a Saturday evening in late December 2024 via car. I had made reservations the day before and they still had openings at 7:30pm. I checked in 15 minutes early and they were able to seat me on the patio right away. My hotel was on the edge of town and I wanted to get there early to find parking. I was able to find 2-hour parking a couple of streets over. It was my first time in Carmel and had no idea they didn't have street lights - I was initially planning to walk there from my hotel. I picked this place because they welcomed dogs and I had my dog with me. I was seated right next to a heat lamp thankfully. The meal was excellent and exceeded my expectations. I ordered the burrata, mango mojito cocktail, bread, and sweet potato gnocchi. All were incredibly tasty and each had something special to it. Skip the bread if you get full easily (extra $12). The burrata was to-die-for - the orange sauce was sweet, tangy, and crunchy. The sweet potato gnocchi each had a tiny piece of picked onion stuck to it - it was so interesting! Both of these dishes were divine! Definitely worth trying this place if you're around. read more
