    As we walked into the quaint Italian lovely & warm atmosphere we had big smiles on our face. The staff was processional, engaging, happy & knowledgeable of what to order. We were also greeted by the owner Giuseppe, he was also wonderful and engaged in conversation a lot with us. The food, drinks, and dessert was off the chart! Spectacular all the way around.

    Very nice sushi restaurant. It was a cool night and would like to try it again when the weather allows for outdoor seating. A very nice selection of sushi and sashimi. Staff was attentive and made nice suggestions.

    A little jewel box of a restaurant, understated and very comfortable for our late lunch. The fish was very fresh, cleanly cut and nicely plated. Our seaweed salad sparkled in its dish and was perfectly seasoned. “Chef’s choice” nigiri sushi was an array of luscious, great quality fish on neat beds of rice; no omelet, eel or other items that can feel like filler. Our waitress was solicitous and affirming of our choices, even though we shared an entree. All in all the meal was a delight. We are so happy to have a Japanese restaurant of this caliber in humble Carmel!
