Labeled as "Unpretentious French-Italian Fare" on Google, it is definitely one of the best restaurants in Monterey which we highly recommend.
If I were to give a yelp review, it would be 5/5
We ordered
- Broccoli di Ciccio
- Tuscan Stone Fruit Salad
- Saumon de Printemps
- Linguine Pescatore
- Margherita Pizza
- Summer Truffle Pizza
Appetizers although they were salads was good too. The fruit salad had a very refreshing fruity zing which prep our stomachs for the amazing flavor town. Broccolini was well roasted with a nice Maillard crust, it was great. Personally I tried cooking brocolli a billion times and can never get it to taste like this...
All dishes were flavorful and unique. The menu isn't very expansive but each dish was superb. The pizzas were definitely Italian style whereby the crust is on the thinner end and the toppings were minimal, but the taste, its as if there was an entire buffet in it. The truffle although nowhere to be seen was strong, like in your face strong and that's how I want "truffle" to taste like.
The lobster and salmon were cooked beautifully. Salmon with pesto was scrumptious and the lobster pasta was just amazing. (Not sure how to describe good lobster but that's how I am going to call it)
Overall 5/5
