Enzo

"We were walking through Carmel and spotted Enzo after noticing the menu posted outside: lasagna listed as the first entrée and tiramisu on the dessert menu immediately drew us in. We’re so glad it did. Our first visit was a wonderful experience with Francesco, who brought such warmth and friendliness to the table. We enjoyed the scallop appetizer, lasagna, and the special of the day: a truly delicious tagliatelle truffle pasta. We finished with the tiramisu, which was perfectly made with classic ladyfingers and a very reasonable size to share. We loved it so much that we stopped back again on our drive home from visiting family in the Bay Area. On our second visit (all within a week), we had the eggplant parmesan, rigatoni Calabria, and the pistachio mousse. Once again, everything was excellent. We were also thrilled to see Francesco again! We really appreciated the friendly service, high-quality food, and the fact that we were able to walk in and be seated both times. Francesco’s warmth truly elevated the experience. His service really made our dining experience memorable. We visited around 11 a.m. the first time and right at noon the second, and watched the restaurant fill up quickly each day. Highly recommend Enzo Italian for excellent Italian food, especially the pasta."

"I was craving some authentic Italian food and sure enough I found it here. The calamari and shrimp appetizer was delicately fried and perfectly seasoned (especially the shrimp). And the fettuccini bolognese was very delicious and felt like I was right back in Italy. Cool to see such an authentic place in the heart of Carmel."

"We found this place totally random, but since then, this has been our go-to-place whenever we visit Carmel. dog friendly, nice and cozy ambiance. We love their crab ravioli!! They also have good wine selections (mostly Italian wine)."
