          Locals warned us—and they were right. It’s extremely overpriced for what you get and the quality isn’t good. Limited selection of foods. Skip it!

          Tiramisu is the best on the planet. And the service cannot be rivaled anywhere.

          We had a very nice meal at Casanova. Charming restaurant walkable from most hotels in Carmel. The cannelloni was fabulous! Id say the salad with romaine lettuce & shaved parmesan was pretty mediocre for $19.00. That in particular seemed like an odd price for 5 pieces of romaine with a little parmesan on top. I felt taken advantage of there. The rest of the meal was pretty good.

          It's been a while since we have eaten here as we used to go to lunch whenever we were in town but hadn't been since they stopped serving lunch. We were not disappointed. The staff was friendly and very accomadating and the food was excellent.

          Very limited menu and Dover Sole was deboned at the table. No substitution policy very strict.

          Overall an enjoyable experience. Service not up to the price point for this restaurant. Food was pretty good. The seafood linguini was really good. We were finishing up meal when the waitress came by to ask if we needed anything. The sommelier never came by to ask how we liked the he chose for us. Definitely go there if you are looking for a casual expensive dining experience. Best meal we had in Carmel over 4 nights
