- CCamillevipNew York City •5 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoMy husband and I shared the porterhouse and our granddaughter got the wagu. They both were delicious!! The sides that came with the porterhouse were incredibly yummy (crispy potatoes and an Italian broccoli) We started the the garlic bread - which set a VERY High bar for the next course. I’m dreaming about the garlic bread - PHENOMENAL! Our server, Jane, was knowledgeable, kind and very attentive.More infoStokes Adobe RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Californian• Monterey•4.7

- CClaudiaMexico City •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoAfter coming here for a few times, this charming Italian restaurant has become a must for us while in Carmel. The food is beyond exceptional. My fav is the Ragu, Jessepe mother’s recipe, which seem to be part of the menu for the last 10 years. You may experience here something infrequent at other places, the friendliness, and charisma the owner makes you feel at home .More infoIl TegaminoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Carmel•4.6
