Reservations

Snagged reservations last minute and honestly one of the best meals I had while visiting PG & Monterey. A nice surprise to see a live jazz band (Thursdays from 6-8pm) while enjoying our dinner. ordered the crab arancini as an appetizer. For pasta we got orecchiette boscaiola (so delicious it was our favorite dish) and pappardelle con lamb and they were both so delicious. The service was so great and consistent. Definitely will come back here!

This meal was one of the finest I've had, we were a party of 12 and had excellent service. The squid ink pasta was one of the best pasta I've ever eaten and I spent 5 months in Italy. My wife's chicken marsala was to die for. Typically we never order chicken in a nice restaurant cuz we can make that at home. Everyone in our party was singing praises about the food and atmosphere, and since I picked the location I got a lot of attaboys

The best meal we had in 2 weeks in California. The food was delicious - tasted like authentic home cooked Italian. High quality ingredients and made with love. Service was excellent, and the ambience inside was very warm, cosy and just spot on. We ate the tempura artichokes for starter which were delicious and unusual, with three tasty dips. For main we tried some pastas (both excellent) and a delicious sprouts side. Very generous portions.

Food was served piping hot, just the way I like it! Today we had the Oso Bucco Beef Gnocchi with garlic cheese bread, meatballs and Berry Burrata salad! Flavors were phenomenal, food was fresh, meatballs were not reheated! Come here now! Your taste buds deserve it!

The wife and I stopped in for lunch. We started with Old Fashioneds which were delicious. We have been in California for one month and we have had many Old Fashioneds, but these were by far the best that we have had while here. We started with fried artichokes, which were delicious. The appetizer portion was meal sized. My wife ordered the Gnocchi Ossobuco, I ordered the Spaghetti and Meatballs and we ordered a bottle of wine. The food was delicious and our server was over the top and he even…
