About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
We personally welcome you to Café Fina. My family and I have been serving diners on Monterey’s Fisherman’s Wharf since 1989. We specialize in Italian cuisine, make our pastas and raviolis in house, grow our own seasonal organic home-grown vegetables, and serve a variety of only the freshest seafood from the Monterey Bay. Our wood-burning oven prepares excellent pizza, and the quaint Italian decor and ocean views make dining at Cafe Fina a memorable experience.


Café Fina is a full-service fine dining restaurant, serving lunch and dinner. In addition to our award winning food,we also feature a wide variety of wines, including the best of our local wines, the finest wines that Napa valley has to offer, and a fine selection of Italian wines. Dominic’s cooking has enabled Café Fina to be the sole caterer for John Madden’s induction ceremony into the Football Hall of Fame in 2006 and has earned him visits from Rachel Ray and other TV stars.
I hope to see you soon

    The service was absolutely outstanding. We our locals and it was our first time here and will definitely go again. We shared a lot of appetizers - the roasted garlic and the artichoke are phenomenal as was the peach cobbler. The salads were superb and the prosciutto arugula pizza is absolute perfection.

    We live a short distance away from the wharf. Most locals stay clear of the touristy areas. We embrace it and enjoy hanging out with the visitors. Cafe Fina is a wonderful spot. Great food, excellent wait staff, family feeling….and you get to see the tourists. Nothing better. Thank you Dominic and Roxanne.

    We saw Cafe Fina on a PBS Show called “Bay Area Check Please”and decided we should try their food. Everything we had was on point. The Crab Cakes Appetizer was delicious and a great starter . The fresh clam pasta dish and Pasta Gianni weee both well seasoned and the pasta was perfectly cooked al dente. It was a perfect afternoon lunch while visiting The Monterey area. Grazi Cafe Fina!

    We had a wonderful dining experience at Café Fina the other evening. We were seated in the back portion of the restaurant that has a beautiful view of the water. Our server was Roxanne, who was fantastic. She was attentive to our needs, offered suggestions and explanations on the menu choices, and allowed us to take our time. We ordered the clam chowder, that was delicious and not over stuffed with potatoes rather than clams . Our entrées were petrale sole, fresh caught in the Monterey Bay that day, and halibut . Both entrees were well prepared and served with fresh vegetables. We will definitely return to Cafe Fina when in the Monterey area.
