Flourless Chocolate Cake with Espresso ice cream was scrumptious. Osso Bucco was perfection! Filet Mignon was excellent! Gnocchi = delicious! *April 21, 2018 was meal and review, never finished posting. You still deserve the 5 stars... every time we have visited since has been excellent as well! read more

Had a wonderful birthday dinner over!! The ambience is lovely with a view of the Spanish Bay, we chose the restaurant because of the view but everything else turned out to be amazing too. The service was friendly, we enjoyed chatting with the lady at the front desk while we were waiting on our table. Both are pastas were fresh and delicious. The staff made me feel so special when my husband mentioned we were there to celebrate my birthday. They got me a swiss roll with ice cream at the end of our meal. read more

ALWAYS THE BEST. From the wonderful hostess who greets you to seeing them again when you leave, EVERYTHING is ALWAYS wonderful. Had the lasagna as always and it did NOT disappoint. Wonderful, delicious warm bread promptly brought to our table. The food was fabulous and the service was excellent. Our server (I call her Doris because she reminds me of an actress named Doris) has been with Peppoli for 33 years (need we say more???) was so friendly, kind and knowledgeable. She spent time with us, always with a smile while handling many other tables. She recommended a fabulous wine that didn't break the bank. I love this restaurant and everything about it. We continue to return. Thanks for always being the best! read more

Food and ambiance was excellent as was the service. Waitress was attentive and friendly and appeared at the right time throughout the night. A real pro. Everyone at our table of 7 enjoyed their meals and the setting and would highly recommend. Well done! read more

Pèppoli at The Inn at Spanish Bay now open for lunch! We just experienced a delightful lunch at Pèppoli. Chef Angela Tamura has created a lovely lunch menu and with the welcoming environment, the Tuscan ambiance, the breathtaking views, and attentive waitstaff, it is truly a special location for a wonderful dining experience. The golf course and Stix restaurant will be under construction for about a year, so while these projects are underway, take advantage of the availability of lunch at Pèppoli! We highly recommend! read more

Back for another great golf outing with my friends at the iconic Pebble Beach resort. Unfortunately this dinner experience was disappointing. Service was ok at best. The place is nicely decorated but the food was average. One of the steaks hand to be sent back. The Caesar salad had a next to no dressing. The mushroom soup was bland. Appetizers to include the prosciutto and the sausage was tasty but this year was nothing like the past years. Somewhat of a disappointing dinner. read more

At one point this spot was one of my favorite but each time over the last several years I've had a bad experience here. So while not everything is off - like the service is always quite good - the rotating menu often is either missing something I'm dying to have or it has something that looks good and then just isn't. Recently the pasta shells were good - just came out cold. The sea bass - not good - fishy and flavorless. The pesto option was just ok, I'm at a point where I'm probably not coming back. Too bad this used to be super good. read more

Wonderful menu selections, appetizers a'plenty, desserts fantastic, service wonderful and the views were stunning! Helpful tips: 1. Ask when the bagpiper strolls up and make a reservation 30-60 minutes before and ask for a window table or an outside table (weather permitting). 2. The Fritto-Misto was bountiful and fantastic! 3. The green salad with truffle was incredible and can easily be shared as can several entrees if need be! 4. Loved the Tiramisu! 5. Corkage fee is $45 a bottle so bring a seminal vintage If you must. Their wine list is quite expansive - Pricey but there are a few great values as well! 6. Valet parking available but free public parking as well. Oh and be sure to inform the Park Ranger at the 17 mile Drive entrance that you have dinner or lunch reservations and the time to get free entry otherwise you'll have to pay the entrance fee. Saluti! read more

After many visits finally a review on Spanish Bay's lovely Italian restaurant, Peppoli. Spanish Bay only has two restaurants, Roy's and Peppoli, the latter which is the star of the Resort. I'd give 4.5 stars if possible- it's that good. The Chef is a lovely Italian woman that knows food and while I haven't personally spoken to her I'm sure she'd agree that she feels like her dinner guests are coming to her house for dinner. Service is always top notch. Most are folks that have been working here 15-20 years. That says a lot to me. And if a restaurant takes great care of its people you can imagine how they care for their diners. Peppoli is a partnership with the Pebble Beach Co, Antinori Wine, local restaurant owner Peppe who owns several Italian restaurants in Carmel. Whatever it works. First a lovely menu covering all the checkboxes for Italian food choices. Ever meal we've had here is consistent. Last night was osobucco, Caesar salad, fresh bread for the table, filet mignon and Carbonara Pasta. Mark our server saw me having a hard time choosing a bottle of wine--so many choices and a Wine Spectator Award winner too boot. He mentioned Sassicaia, a great choice but not wanting spend way BiG $, he recommended the '22 Tenuta. Sassicaia's second label. So for about $175 we got a stunning bottle. That's part of the service you always get at Peppoli. Enough! Just go and enjoy. Call for reservations read more

Always a nice dining experience. Everyone's warm and welcoming, very attentive and helpful. The place exudes warmth and elegance even though you can come here in resort wear; dressing up is always an option. I have dined here a couple of times and both experiences were excellent. Food is delish you can never go wrong with whatever you pick! read more

The star of our experience was the bus boy everything else was pretty terrible. Servers kept running into my chair. Service was extremely slow. Cocktails are much better at the fire pits at the Inn. The pasta is served al dente which is great except mine was under done by a lot. We ordered the lasagna which tasted pretty good but our server did not mention the long cook time and didn't check on us while we waited the 30 minutes. Absolutely not worth the poor service. read more

Great meal and top shelf views! Ossco Buco superior. Fresh flavors and super service ruled the evening.

Watched the sunset over Pebble Beach with some good wine, good food, good company and good service for Mom's birthday celebration. It was such a wonderful time! Ordered the prosciutto and ricotta appetizer: healthy serving of prosciutto and the ricotta and toasted points were deliciously warmed. Subtle flavor to everything. Fusilli with shrimp pasta and the short rib meals were good. Great? I can't say great but good. Really beautiful jumbo shrimp with light lemon flavor. I was excited about the made from scratch pasta but I was hoping it was more savory delicious. The short ribs were pretty fatty, unfortunately. Definitely not fall off the bone texture. The broccoli rabe on the side was great. It was supposed to come with polenta but they graciously swapped it out for spaghetti with marinara (delicious!) bc Mom isn't a fan of polenta. Eating outside, we were nervous about it being cold. Luckily they were quite accommodating with "3d" heat: fire pit on the table, heater above us and standing heater to the side of us. Last but not least, their birthday treat for Mom was lovely: chocolate cake with coconut sorbet. Mmmmmmmm that sorbet... Why not five stars: the food was good. We were hoping for incredible...and it was just good. ‍ read more

Hits on all cylinders! Food, atmosphere, view, service are all remarkable. Located inside The Inn at Spanish Bay, but don't think of it as a hotel restaurant. It stands on its own for sure. My friends who live in Pebble are regulars but this was my first time. The views across the grounds to the ocean are so beautiful. There is outdoor dining too. My friends know the menu well and we were able to share a few things. It might seem unusual to rave about the lasagne in such a fine-dining place, but it's really out of this world. The meat layers are filet mignon! The short ribs are also fantastic, as are the salads, And the affogato for dessert was the best I've ever had. I know I'll be back! read more

Nice upscale restaurant at the links at Spanish bay golf resort. Service is great with multiple people taking care of you. Great wine list over 70 pages. I had the pappardelle pasta and my wife paglia e fieno pasta both were delicious. Try to get to the resort prior to dinner and watch the bag piper who performs 5:20 to 5:45 read more

I recently stayed at the Inn at Spanish Bay for a work event and ended up at Peppoli for dinner one night. Our group of 5 finished a work event late in the evening and found ourselves with limited options for dinner... and Peppoli came to the rescue! They had no concerns seating us so late in the evening or accommodating our group of 5 without reservations. The menu offers classic Italian dishes. Our group ordered a series of appetizers, entrees, cocktail/drinks, and desserts. I went with a seasonal arugula salad and added some grilled shrimp on top. The lemon dressing was very good. Our entire meal was delicious but the affogato (with decaf) dessert was the star of the show. I honestly considered going back the next night, after dinner at another restaurant, just to get the affogato. The perfect balance of a salted caramel ice cream with the flavor of fresh coffee. It was perfection. The star of the dining experience, however, was Anthony. What a phenomenal server. The attention to detail, care, recommendations, professionalism, and kindness from Anthony made our evening even more memorable. Peppoli and the Inn at Spanish Bay are lucky to have Anthony working for them. I look forward to returning to Peppoli for dinner when visiting Spanish Bay again next year. read more

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Peppoli on October 10. My fillet was impeccable, while our salads and pasta were excellent! Service by Sylvana and team member Alejandro were also excellent as was the Spanish Bay staff. Ambience is warm and inviting with beautiful views of the Monterey Bay sunset. We are locals and this may be our favorite 10 out of 10! read more

We love Peppoli's and try to come here at least once and preferably twice every year when we come for Car Week! The views are stunning and the bagpiper coming out near dusk makes everyone so happy! The food is delicious! We were there last night and I had the short ribs while my son had the rigatoni w/bolognese. Classic! read more

Pépoli at Pebble Beach was superb last night. We got seated at our favorite window table on the far end of the restaurant, so it was fairly quiet. All the servers were amazing and took care of us from the moment we walked in. A glass of the Montepulciano was very nice. Then we ordered a couple of salads to be split. The Caesar with whole anchovy fillets and plenty of flavor hit the spot. The other salad was the mixed greens with warm grilled peaches. Apparently they baste a white basalmic glaze on the peaches and it really tops it off. Our hand made fresh pastas were all unique and wonderful. The lasagna was very meaty, had a nice crisp top with the cheese and very flavorful. Pappardelle with the boar ragu was very nice. Next was the Rotolo Fiorentina which looked like cannelloni cut in half and stood on end. The presentation was interesting. But the flavor was really amazing with spinach, tomatoes and cheeses-mozzarella and ricotta. Finally, the fourth pasta was the Conchiglie Verde, which was OK. It was the most disappointing of the dishes the only one that didn't really hit the mark. It was probably the kale infused pesto-just kidding! Dessert was a treat. We saw the next table had a 8 inch high desert, so we inquired what that would be. It's the mud pie, which is served at Roy's Hawaiian restaurant next-door but they can get it even though it's not on the menu. So we ordered the "secret" mud pie and it was outstanding. A very yummy meal. We're already planning to go back this week. read more

Always a special dinner @pebblebeachresorts Peppoli. They make the best martinis and the complimentary house bread is so fresh and delish. We started with the perfectly tender and lightly battered fritto misto- fennel, lemon, calamari, and rock shrimp served with the best marinara. For our first course we had the soup of the day (a traditional tomato pepper soup), the Caesar salad split, and the special tomato bread soup. All were exceptional- so simple and yet perfectly prepared with the best ingredients in a traditional way. For mains almost everyone had the house made lasagna. It truly is exceptional and I will be ordering next time , especially because they are happy to split an order. The short ribs with polenta were tender and flavorful. The Amatriciana was homemade spaghetti with pomodoro sauce, bacon, and spicy Calabrian chili. For dessert a complimentary bday dessert of coconut sorbet and chocolate ganache cake. Service is attentive, formal, and welcoming. One of our all time favs! read more

We've dined here twice over the summer and had great experiences both times. The ocean view ambiance can't be beat! The menu has something for every lover of Italian food. I've had the Carbonara and the "straw and hay" pasta. Each was delicious in their own ways. Pasta cooked perfectly, right amount of sauce and flavor. Service is very attentive although one of the help staff cleared our caprese appetizer before we were finished with it. Desserts are great - recommend the Tiramisu and the Italian pound cake. read more

one of our go-to spots in the area has always been Roy's... & Peppoli has officially been added to the list! outdoor seating goes without question anywhere at Spanish Bay, especially with the golf course views & firepit tables. i just learned they offer blankets as well! the Gamberi Grigliato aka grilled Kauai shrimp was unreal. get the LASAGNA, you will NOT regret it. we topped dinner off with the Crostata di Frutta - with an extra scoop of ice cream, of course. excellent dining experience, no complaints here. can't wait to try the rest of their menu! read more

We had a fantastic night at Peppoli once again. Every time I come here, they give me outstanding customer service. The servers here are immaculate. The restaurant is gorgeous. This was my first time sitting outside. I must tell you we had the best seats in the house. Most everything on the menu is good. My favorites are Tomahawk and filet mignon, and I love their tiramisu. They have a list of several different wines you can choose from. Their cocktails are limited. If you want to go to a fabulous restaurant with a beautiful view, look no further. Thanks, guys, for making my Saturday and giving me a great evening; much appreciated. read more

It has been at least 5 years since we last visited Peppoli. We didn't have a good experience then and the hubs didn't want to return EVER. But we had a friend visiting from the UK and we wanted to hear the bagpiper. Peppoli is right next door so...... Off toPeppoli we go. We started with an outstanding Pinot Grigio. It was the last bottle they had. Shows the popularity of our choice. For our 1st course the hubs and I had the Caesar salad. Beautifully dressed with white anchovies. Our friend had the calamari fritti. Light with a nice marinara. Our main courses were the Fruitti Del Mar and the Osso Bucco. The fruitti Del Mar had scallops & shrimp with pasta. It was delectable. My osso bucco was served with broccolini cooked to a turn. The veal shank was fall off the bone. The wait staff said it was a signature dish & I understand why it received such high accolades. read more

Nice setting, and great hostess! We selected fish options and the halibut was so plain and boring with no seasoning but some carrot brodo. Chewy endives. The Kono was a bit dry and underwhelming cauliflower. We waited an hour to get bread and the bottled water we purchased was not refilled for us and left in an ice bucket. We were offered a side salad and ended up paying $44 for 2 very plain small salads. First time eating in Pebble Beach and for $300 for us we will stay in Carmel next time. read more

This is our favorite place to dine at Spanish Bay. We always have stellar service, a great view and an amazing wine list. Our recent visit in October provided us with the best weather we've ever had , watching the sunset with an excellent meal. The calamari appetizer, the salad the steak Florentine was all excellent.

Pèppoli at Pebble Beach - Sunset at Spanish Bay - Italian Near Me - Pebble Beach, California

Absolutely exquisite and memorable. Food, service and ambiance was outstanding. One of my favorite restaurants and areas.

I was having a celebratory birthday dinner in Carmel with family. I had wanted to go to Roy's, but my sister didn't care for it, and thought her daughter would prefer Peppoli's at Pebble Beach, so we went there. Both restaurants are right next to each other, with a patio and grass area that overlooks the ocean, golf course, and has a bagpiper that walks the course at sundown. Sitting outside at a table on the lawn on a particularly hot day to have a pre-dinner drink was the best part of the evening. I asked for a recommendation on the wine, as I wanted something very light, as it was so hot outside. They recommended the Nobili Sauvignon Blanc, which I'd have never chosen, but it was so delicious! It has a grapefruit undertone, and I've purchased some bottles of the same wine since. This, however, is outside of the restaurant, as you wait for your reservation time. You do want to go early, as there are beautiful views, you can drive along 17-mile drive for free, when you have a dinner reservation, and it makes for a lovely day. This part made me happy, and deserves stars. Our meal at the over-priced Peppoli does not. We then went in for our meal. We did not have a view of the ocean from this restaurant, which is what I was originally striving for, but at least we had the enjoyable cocktails with a view just before dinner. The restaurant has an elegant vibe to it on the inside, with the heavy, straight-back chairs that you often see in steak-house restaurants. The busboy was very attentive, refilling our water, and bringing bread, and taking away dishes. Our waitress was non-existent after we placed our orders, which is disappointing when you see what you are paying at this restaurant. The food: 3 out of 4 of us ordered the "Signature" lasagna, that they told us was their specialty. It was $37, and came with absolutely no sides, and was a fairly small serving. On top of that, it was very dry, and not very tasty. I would not order this dish anywhere again; much less when you are paying $37 for it! It is outlandish that a restaurant at Pebble Beach can serve this type of meal at exorbitant prices. Pebble Beach has an exclusive reputation. This restaurant did not live up to anywhere near it's mark. The 4th in our group ordered the vegetarian pasta, and it was so salty, she hardly ate any of it. We tried the Tiramisu for dessert, and that was very tasty, but after hundreds of dollars on a bad meal, it's not worth coming here. Eating meals at a restaurant that charges between $40-$100 per plate should leave you with a "Wow!" factor. This restaurant was a huge disappointment. And, the prices next door at Roy's at Spanish Bay/Pebble Beach are not any better. My best recommendation is to have a (pricey) cocktail while sitting at the lawn tables or at the firepits outside, enjoying the atmosphere, while it is still light out to see, and watch the bagpiper at sundown, that walks through the area. Skip the meals at the restaurants, unless you don't mind greatly overpaying for sub-par meals. No view. Over-priced Bad meals. Poor waitress attention. Not worth your money. read more
