Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Toro is a charming gem nestled in Carmel offering "super fresh" sushi and delightful service. Guests rave about the "amazing" nigiri and "well-curated" menu. The inviting atmosphere, particularly the patio dining, and attentive staff make it a "must-visit" spot. Occasional service delays, but overall, a delightful experience.

    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.
