Absolutely fantastic European food. The cannoli braised beef was phenomenal. The dry aged ribeye was perfect and absolutely delicious. The salads were fresh and full of flavor. The bread was homemade and also good.

Serving traditional Italian fare, Casanova is well-known around Carmel and highly recommending on Tik Tok. There are 3 seating areas: an out front patio that allows pets, inside, and in the back courtyard. We sat on the patio where heat lamps kept us toasty.

We had a recommendation from a friend to visit the restaurant. We had dinner, great food, very friendly service, we had the Onion Soup, Cannelloni, Ravioli and for dessert we had the Chocolate cake and the Cheesecake.

Nice atmosphere. Good service. Great foods even though a bit expensive. Came over for a dinner. We enjoyed the foods but seated outdoor was cold. Not only our table, I saw the other customers seated outdoors had a same issue, cold.

Having dined here 4-5 times since restaurants reopened in 2021 I unfortunately have to give one of my favorite carmel by the sea mainstays an adjusted review since even my most recent experience was lacking in comparison to the multitude of visits I’ve been fortunate to enjoy over the last 10 years (because, gnocchi)

Great service, great food and great company. We had to start with the bread…then on to the gnocchi, the burrata with asparagus and butter lettuce salad. Oh! Can’t forget the Sunset…it was so tasty!

Awesome atmosphere and food! We got the burrata, crudo, sea bass and chicken. They were all 10/10! We also asked for an amendment of one of the dishes and they were super accommodating. Excellent service too! My fave in Carmel for sure and a must visit for everyone!

This is our second time here and I was a bit disappointed. Maybe because it was Easter Sunday but the menu seemed lacking and underwhelming. We enjoyed our meal so I still have it 4 stars but after the first visit about 6 months ago that wowed is, we decided to bring friends with us. The food was good but the choices to pick from seemed limited. I decided to try the seafood fettuccini which was good but very pricey for the amount of food. I ended up adding my son’s buttered noodles to my dish after I was done. My wife and other friend both ordered what was basically a chicken pot pie. Again it was good but it was pricey for a chicken pot pie. I forgot to take a picture of the cannelloni but friend said it was good. Desserts were good but nothing that wowed us. Again for the price I was hoping for a bigger wow factor but I left wanting more.
