Simplicity. Love. Comfort. Family.
If a Western Mediterranean way of life exists, you'll find it quietly thriving between Ocean Avenue and Seventh Street, on San Carlos in Carmel-by-the-Sea — a charming European-style village perched above a white-sand beach.
Founded by Enzo Pagano, a native of Calabria, our restaurant embodies the warmth and hospitality of Italian family life. Step onto our sun-drenched patio wrapped in bougainvillea, or settle by the fireplace when coastal fog rolls in. Together with our team — including Chef Italo, a maestro della cucina — we bring you a dining experience rooted in tradition and crafted with care.
