    we also got garlic bread and meatball lollipops which were a great size for a lollipop lol. not too massive but not too tiny where's its just a sample. all the food was amazingggg. so good. the service wasn't very good couldn't really ask for more water or for anything. even tho our waiter checked on the table next to us plenty of times(10+) he didn't wait on us more than our initial order, bringing us our food, and dropping off a pitcher of water for us to serve ourselves. wasn't too big of a deal just disappointing. to see and feel like we weren't as valuable as customers. it also took about an hour for us to get our food despite ordering pretty quick. but aside from the negative the food was delicious!!

    Our server Sandra was very helpful with the selections tonight. We had the spaghetti and meatballs which is all made in house and the lasagne. We also ordered the peach and burrata antipasto which is now officially one of our favorites. The restaurant has various rooms with a nice relaxed atmosphere. We finished with the tiramisu!

    Service: Servers were friendly and accommodating for the most part, delivering food in a timely manner and answering questions as needed. The only reason for the 4 star rating is because of the amount of time it took for the bill to be delivered (25 minutes) after we had signaled to the waiter at least 5 times. Additionally, our server was not particularly engaging or proud of his services, but it may have been caused by stress from a busy night. Ambiance: I ate in the bar section of the restaurant, so I did not experience the atmosphere of the actual restaurant, but it seemed accommodating for the most part. Seating was plentiful and nicely arranged, and music was not too loud. TVs were on in two corners of the restaurant, but nothing that disturbed the eating experience. Food: Coming from a food snob, this pizza was very delicious, and something that I would eat again any time. The pizza was prepared in a wood fire oven, and made with delicious tomato sauce, fresh toppings, and a perfect thin but crunchy crust. Overall, a great restaurant to visit in Carmel for some delicious Italian food, however I would recommend either making reservations or coming in early because of high demand during dinner hours. Side note: Prices are quite high but reasonable for the quantity and quality of the food.

    My wife, daughter and I ate here without a reservation on a Saturday night. They were busy, but had a table for us within 10 minutes. Reasonable wait IMO. Let me tell you that 3 three of us each had different dishes and we all ended up sharing because the food was so very good. We were getting full but opted for desert and we were happy we did. Best tiramisu I've ever eaten and I'm not usually a fan. My wife had ordered it and my daughter ordered the blueberry cheesecake which was phenomenal. They have an indoor dining area where we say that was nice, they also had a cute outdoorsy area we didn't want to wait for. They also have a bar area that would be great if my wife and I weren't with our daughter and didn't have a long drive back home. This would've been a place to go into and wait while our table was prepared. 5/5 stars.
