About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Charming
Great for outdoor dining

If a Western Mediterranean version of life exists, you will find it nestled between Ocean ave and Seventh st on San Carlos Street in Carmel-by-the-Sea. The European style village nestled above a picturesque white sandy beach is the perfect backdrop to "ENZO". At Enzo, you will be beckoned by the rustically charming patios surrounded by draping bougainvillea on a sundrenched day or the cozy and simplistic interior warmed by the fireplace when the cool fog blankets the coast.

Calabria is a southern region in Italy where the owner, Enzo, comes from. Calabria is a place where life is still slow.

It's the beauty, the passion, the family, the love...

this is what you will find at Enzo...simplicity, love, comfort, family!

We had a very nice meal and great service. I was a little surprised when I got the bill and was charged $9.50 for a bottle of still water probably from the tap.

The food was excellent and the service was fun and exceptional. We ate outside in the patio area and it had a quaint and romantic air about it. We would go back and highly recommend a visit to Enzos if you’re in the mood for some great Italian food!

Food not well made. Eggplant Parmesan had no sauce or cheese between the layers of egg plant Just a small amount of sauce And a sprinkle of Parmesan on top after I requested it The rigatoni with sausage was also mediocre. Over priced for small lunch portions $170 for two People.

This was the WORST restaurant we have ever been to in all of our travels. Itilo was our server. Our food came out to the table and it was awful. The rigatoni was cold and my lasagne was not made fresh. It had a congealed sauce which means it was previously frozen. We sent back the food and asked him to heat it . We waited almost 15 minutes and still didn’t have our food. We asked for the check thinking he wouldn’t charge us for the entrees. He did and I made the mistake of paying for it as to not make a scene. I have repeatedly called to speak to the owner/manager. He is never there. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Our hotel will not be recommending it to anyone as well. All I want is my money back for the entrees that were never brought back. I made a mistake paying which I won’t ever do again.

We had a nice salad and a pasta dish for dinner. The food was pretty good. The business was very slow that day.

Our server was very pushy he insisted I try the Rose even though I told him I didn’t like Rose and had asked for a Sauvignon Blanc. The food was mediocre felt like fast food our order arrived within minutes of ordering. They add a charge for using your credit card. All in all not a good experience.
