Try the sausage, peppers, and polenta appetizer; it's delicious. This restaurant has a quaint patio that is dog-friendly. The service, however, was a disappointment. The woman who received us at the door and our waitress were unfriendly. I hope you have a better experience with the employees.

First, service was so slow, we literally thought they forgot about us. This wasn't just in taking our order but also in delivering our food, bringing our check, and even taking our credit card. It must have been at least an hour longer because of all the waiting we had to do just to try to catch our waitresses' eye!... More

We made a reservation as we wandered around and arrived a few minutes early. The food and the service were both excellent. I heartily recommend this place. Great atmosphere, food and service.

Just come back from a fantastic holiday touring the Californian coast. Was impressed with the range and general standard of food there and, of course, good service as standard. That was until we arrived in Carmel. A word to the town: you're not "Stow-on-Sea" so stop pretending you're in the Cotswolds and ditch the twee. This restaurant summed up the... More

Great little Italian restaurant in Carmel. Atmosphere fantastic, food superb, staff brilliant, wine excellent. We stopped here for a meal before heading down to watch the sunset at the beach. We weren't disappointed with any aspect of our visit here. Pepe's Pinot Noir was so smooth and complemented my Bolognese dish very well.

Loved the food and service. Great atmosphere too. Loved the salads, spaghetti and meatballs and the chicken piccata. Will try more the next time we go back.

We have visited Carmel often over many years. On each visit we dine at least once at Little Napoli. The food and service are consistently very good. Tonight was no exception. We had lasagna and pasta. The dishes were prepared perfectly and the service pleasant and efficient. We couldn't have been more pleased with the evening.
