Little Napoli - Carmel-by-the-Sea

My family had a reunion at Carmel and everyone stayed there. I needed to find a restaurant that could accommodate 10 people, including kids. I was pleased to discover that Little Napoli had a private room called the “Library” that we could use if we spent at least $500, which was easily done. It worked perfectly for us and our server was excellent. The food was delicious and out of the three restaurants we tried over the weekend, my family agreed that this was the best one! I would definitely return and recommend this place to anyone!

We ordered grilled artichoke, mozzarella burrata, and pizza parma. The pizza was decent, but the appetizers were underwhelming. The artichoke was unexpectedly sour and the burrata was not fresh and lacked flavor. The only positive aspect of this restaurant is the courtyard. However, I would not recommend this place. Save your time and try out other places that are more deserving of a visit.

This Italian restaurant is very charming! The outdoor seating area gives off a real European vibe. Inside, the atmosphere is cozy and adorable, with many pictures decorating the walls. I absolutely loved their pizza! The crust, sauce, and toppings were all fantastic. The pizza was so delicious that I forgot to take a picture of it. You can tell that everything is made from scratch! It paired perfectly with a chardonnay. The garlic bread is included in the photo.

This place has a nice and cozy Italian ambiance. We ordered a Garlic Bread, Calamari Fritti, Truffle Mushroom Pizza and Tiramisu. Their garlic bread was one of the best I’ve ever had and the Tiramisu was a delight. Also, if you’re a vegetarian there aren’t a lot of veg options here so you ask them to skip meat wherever possible.

Went here a couple times when I was in Carmel for the golf tournament. Really enjoyed the wine bar both evenings. Was there for the happy hour one time. Lots of delicious small plates and tasty vino. Our server who we named jersey, provided us with excellent service. I highly recommend this place for a good time.
