Avoid 8/19/2008

I don't understand why this has such high ratings. My boyfriend and I were looking for a nice Italian restaurant while visiting Carmel for the weekend. The food was mediocre at best and overpriced. Seriously one of the worst salads I've ever had. Please avoid. Pros: location Cons: food/cost more

Nothing Italian about Little Napoli ... 9/6/2007

... neither the food, nor the service! We were rather disappointed in our latest dinner at Little Napoli - this being our third visit to this restaurant over the past five years or so... Not sure if they changed management and/or ownership, but this was not a very Italian experience! A rude host ... a waitress with no idea on any of the questions we had on menu items or wine ... a forgotten appetizer (which we reminded them of as they were bringing in the entrees) ... and these same entrees (by then cold, sticky pasta goo) served to us again 45 minutes later! One comical part ... while we were having dinner a group of kids came in, speaking Italian and inquiring about "gelato". They were without their parents, obviously visiting from abroad - but none of the hosts or waiters were able to understand them! 4 kids walk into an Italian restaurant --- and no one there understands Italian ... very funny scenario! Anyways, long story short - this used to be a good restaurant, unfortunately years ago - do not get fooled by the lines outside (thanks to being featured in various guide books, they enjoy a steady clientele of all-new / one-time customers) ... Cons: Bad, unknowledgable staff/service more

Loud, exciting, delicious, and a whole lot of fun. 7/30/2007

My favorite Italian restaurant anywhere, Little Napoli is a delight. Fantastic service with a smile (some smiles I'd like to service if you know what I mean). But besides the cute waitresses, the food is superb. A definate must. Pros: Waitresses, Pesto Genovese, Artichoke Cons: Addicting more

Best Pizza on West Coast 7/29/2007

In gorgeous and quaint Carmel-by-the-Sea, we've found another reason to love visiting: Little Napoli. We're Italians from New York, so we know pizza, and we still think this rival's our hometown slices. My wife and I split a pizza with all kinds of fresh local vegetables that was to die for. The appetizers were delicious, and not too filling; my artichoke was superb. These guys know what they're doing. Pros: Pizza, Antipasti, Service, everything! more

Great service and ambiance 8/10/2006

This is a lovely little Italian eatery near the heart of downtown Carmel. The small romantic restaurant is deftly managed by an excellent service staff. Our waitress (Clelia) really seemed to enjoy her job and was a pro. The fettucine carbonara and parmesan chicken were both excellent. The lasagna was not so good as it seemed overstuffed with a veal based filling and not enough cheese and sauce. The dinner for our family of four was $180 with the tip so it is not cheap, but hey, your in Carmel! A very pleasant overall dining experience. Pros: service Cons: lasagna more

Great Italian Food 8/4/2005

I think this is some of the best italian food I've had anywhere. The ambiance is quaint and is ideal for a conversation. It is in a great location, well worth a 1.5 hour drive. Pros: Desserts, Bread, Pasta more

Gnocchi to die for 7/15/2005

This is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in the Monterey Peninsula. The Gnocchi is one of the best I have ever had and I have eaten at a wide variety of Italian restaurants in the US and Italy. The friendly and great service is also a great touch. Pros: Gnocchi, Service, Bread Cons: Price for Pastas more

Superb Italian 9/18/2004

Little Napoli is a great Italian restaurant. Since it's in Carmel it is a bit pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. The food and wine were both great and the portions were big. And be sure to save room for their awesome desserts Pros: Great Food, Good Service more
