- KKristinNew York City •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThey moved up our reservation when we decided we wanted to eat a half hour earlier. We ordered the pasta with meat sauce and the ravioli with gorgonzola cheese and sage sauce. Both were outstanding and reminded me of the pastas we have had in refugios in the Dolomites. Our pasta was served quickly and was hot. The atmosphere was cozy.More infoIl TegaminoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Carmel•4.6
- AAmberVIPSan Diego •11 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoStunning historic house turned chic restaurant This was the best dining experience in our trip to Monterey The atmosphere is gorgeous and interesting with the different rooms used in this house. Service is impeccable and the food was really on point. Way better experience than any restaurant on cannery row (like the Charr House) Will come here again and again. It is pricey. Just know that but everything was to perfection at least.More infoStokes Adobe RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Californian• Monterey•4.8
