    Pesto pasta
    Gargi R.

    Had a wonderful birthday dinner over!! The ambience is lovely with a view of the Spanish Bay, we chose the restaurant because of the view but everything else turned out to be amazing too. The service was friendly, we enjoyed chatting with the lady at the front desk while we were waiting on our table. Both are pastas were fresh and delicious. The staff made me feel so special when my husband mentioned we were there to celebrate my birthday. They got me a swiss roll with ice cream at the end of our meal.

    Back for another great golf outing with my friends at the iconic Pebble Beach resort. Unfortunately this dinner experience was disappointing. Service was ok at best. The place is nicely decorated but the food was average. One of the steaks hand to be sent back. The Caesar salad had a next to no dressing. The mushroom soup was bland. Appetizers to include the prosciutto and the sausage was tasty but this year was nothing like the past years. Somewhat of a disappointing dinner.

    After many visits finally a review on Spanish Bay's lovely Italian restaurant, Peppoli. Spanish Bay only has two restaurants, Roy's and Peppoli, the latter which is the star of the Resort. I'd give 4.5 stars if possible- it's that good. The Chef is a lovely Italian woman that knows food and while I haven't personally spoken to her I'm sure she'd agree that she feels like her dinner guests are coming to her house for dinner. Service is always top notch. Most are folks that have been working here 15-20 years. That says a lot to me. And if a restaurant takes great care of its people you can imagine how they care for their diners. Peppoli is a partnership with the Pebble Beach Co, Antinori Wine, local restaurant owner Peppe who owns several Italian restaurants in Carmel. Whatever it works. First a lovely menu covering all the checkboxes for Italian food choices. Ever meal we've had here is consistent. Last night was osobucco, Caesar salad, fresh bread for the table, filet mignon and Carbonara Pasta. Mark our server saw me having a hard time choosing a bottle of wine--so many choices and a Wine Spectator Award winner too boot. He mentioned Sassicaia, a great choice but not wanting spend way BiG $, he recommended the '22 Tenuta. Sassicaia's second label. So for about $175 we got a stunning bottle. That's part of the service you always get at Peppoli. Enough! Just go and enjoy. Call for reservations

    Always a nice dining experience. Everyone's warm and welcoming, very attentive and helpful. The place exudes warmth and elegance even though you can come here in resort wear; dressing up is always an option. I have dined here a couple of times and both experiences were excellent. Food is delish you can never go wrong with whatever you pick!

    Watched the sunset over Pebble Beach with some good wine, good food, good company and good service for Mom's birthday celebration. It was such a wonderful time! Ordered the prosciutto and ricotta appetizer: healthy serving of prosciutto and the ricotta and toasted points were deliciously warmed. Subtle flavor to everything. Fusilli with shrimp pasta and the short rib meals were good. Great? I can't say great but good. Really beautiful jumbo shrimp with light lemon flavor. I was excited about the made from scratch pasta but I was hoping it was more savory delicious. The short ribs were pretty fatty, unfortunately. Definitely not fall off the bone texture. The broccoli rabe on the side was great. It was supposed to come with polenta but they graciously swapped it out for spaghetti with marinara (delicious!) bc Mom isn't a fan of polenta. Eating outside, we were nervous about it being cold. Luckily they were quite accommodating with "3d" heat: fire pit on the table, heater above us and standing heater to the side of us. Last but not least, their birthday treat for Mom was lovely: chocolate cake with coconut sorbet. Mmmmmmmm that sorbet... Why not five stars: the food was good. We were hoping for incredible...and it was just good. ‍

    Nice upscale restaurant at the links at Spanish bay golf resort. Service is great with multiple people taking care of you. Great wine list over 70 pages. I had the pappardelle pasta and my wife paglia e fieno pasta both were delicious. Try to get to the resort prior to dinner and watch the bag piper who performs 5:20 to 5:45

    Breathtakingly beautiful!
    Helena S.

    We love Peppoli's and try to come here at least once and preferably twice every year when we come for Car Week! The views are stunning and the bagpiper coming out near dusk makes everyone so happy! The food is delicious! We were there last night and I had the short ribs while my son had the rigatoni w/bolognese. Classic!

We ordered the crab ravioli and diavola pizza, it was plenty of food for the two of us, we were so full after. The crab ravioli were huge, filled with crab meat and the sauce had a hint of sweetness to it. It got quite filling as we were eating it so pizza to pair with it was perfect. The diavola pizza was also delicious, the crust was perfectly crunchy and bouncy. It had a slight spicy kick to it to balance out the savory. The spicy salami on it was very good too.

I got the lamb osso bucco and my fiancé got the cioppino and added on the spaghetti. The portions here are very healthy. I could barely touch my osso bucco, but thought it was ok. The mashed potatoes were fluffy and creamy. The osso bucco was actually way better leftover two days later when it all melded together. The others thought their entrees were alright too, I didn't try them even though they offered. :) You'll be stuffed, but get the dessert anyways! We got a creme brûlée which was creamy and nicely caramelized, but the big winner here was the Carmel bakery brownie. So rich and decadent! Service was friendly and quick. Street parking only. I'd come back for apps and dessert.

    Amazing service and amazing food! We absolutely loved our meal at Il Tegamino in Carmel-by-the-Sea…read more I had the gnocchi, and I cannot say enough about how good it was! It was perfectly cooked, so flavorful, and had cheese, cheese, and more cheese in the best possible way. Rich and delicious without being too much. I would absolutely order it again! My niece had the linguine pescatore, which was also delicious. We normally don't like pasta dishes that are too soupy or have so much sauce that the pasta ends up drowning in it, but this one was perfect. The amount of sauce was just right, and all the seafood tasted incredibly fresh. Everything together gave the dish this slightly sweet, fresh seafood flavor that we really loved. And I have to mention that gnocchi one more time because it really was THAT good! Definitely one of the highlights of the meal. Atmosphere was just right.. quiet and cute just like most little restaurants in Carmel by the sea. We finished with the tiramisu, which was another surprise. So delicious, with this wonderful little crunchy topping that added a really nice texture. Great food, wonderful service, and a meal we thoroughly enjoyed from beginning to end. We will definitely be back!

My friend and I made a dinner reservation a couple weeks in advance, and it wasn't too crowded on Mother's Day weekend! Rucolina ($18): Salad to share, perfect amount for 2. Arugula, beets, Gorgonzola, candied walnuts are a classic combo and we polished it. Linguine Alla Pescatora ($45): I thought it was so funny two girls next to us ordered this to share, but my friend ate it all by herself LOL. A huge dish of seafood, they don't skimp! I tried a mussel and the sauce was excellent. Gnocchi (small $22, large $44): I was hesitant about ordering gnocchi because I never like the gnocchi I've ordered at other Italian restaurants. Never thought me a gnocchi snob, but here I am. But other reviews raved about Il Tegamino's gnocchi (our waitress included) so I did it. Ok fine it's the best gnocchi I've ever had. Pillowy soft, straight out of the oven, still sizzling and bubbling when it was placed in front of me. It was cheesy and potatoey without either flavor overpowering the other, and the mushroom truffle sauce is IT. It needs the sauce. I ordered the large and had leftovers to share with my mom, but you bet I could've finished it. I would come back just for this! We picked this place expecting it to be a treat and a bit of a splurge, so we expected the prices. Our server was lovely; my friend loves sweeter white wines but a Moscato wasn't on the menu. She disappeared into the kitchen and came back out with a heavy pour of Moscato and my friend loved it! I first thought it was bold of her to assume she'd want the full glass but she was right :)

    Stopped by Portabella in Carmel on a whim for lunch and it ended up being such a good choice!…read more Instead of the usual bread and butter, they brought out bread with their house-made pesto, which was light, fresh, and not too strong. I had to stop myself from filling up on that alone lol. We ordered the grilled salmon and oven-braised short rib. The salmon was a huge piece, perfectly crisp on the outside without being overcooked, and not fishy at all. It came with garlicky mashed potatoes and was honestly one of the best salmon dishes I've had. The short rib was also delicious--super fork-tender with mashed potatoes and roasted veggies. Everything was flavorful, and they have both indoor and outdoor seating. Definitely a great lunch find! It's also right by the water, so there are plenty of places to stroll around afterward and walk off the meal haha. Enjoy!

Portabella is tucked into a quaint little downtown area surrounded by local restaurants and shops, and it was definitely bustling when we arrived. Good thing we made reservations! Street parking was the only option, so we drove around for a bit before finally finding a spot about a block away. Once we arrived, we were greeted at the door with big smiles and immediately shown to our table. We were given the choice of sitting inside or outside, and we opted for the outdoor patio. The fresh sea breeze was perfect, especially since it was a little warm inside. We started with the corn and crab bisque, portobello mushroom cream soup, and grilled prawns. The fresh sourdough bread with pesto butter was SO good--warm, soft, and perfect for dipping. The corn and crab bisque was flavorful and comforting, but the real star for me was the portobello mushroom cream soup. It was warm, velvety, rich, and packed with that deep, savory umami flavor. Definitely a must-try! Dinner arrived not too long after, and my wild mushroom risotto came out smelling absolutely divine. The risotto was creamy and comforting, with tender mushrooms throughout and a delicious savory, nutty truffle flavor that really brought everything together. It was rich without being overly heavy, and the earthy mushroom and truffle flavors made every bite so satisfying. My husband ordered the pan-seared scallops with pea risotto and asparagus, and his dish looked just as delicious. The scallops were beautifully seared with a golden-brown crust, while the creamy pea risotto added a fresh, slightly sweet flavor. The asparagus rounded everything out with a nice crisp, earthy bite. He really enjoyed his dinner too! Of course, we had to finish the night with dessert. We ordered the bread pudding topped with French vanilla ice cream, and it was the perfect ending. Warm, nutty, comforting, and only lightly sweetened, with the cold, creamy ice cream melting over the top. Just the right amount of sweetness after dinner. As the restaurant filled up, the service became a little slower, but everyone remained friendly, welcoming, and attentive. I also loved the cozy atmosphere--the cute cottage-like exterior and the small, intimate feel made it feel like one of those charming neighborhood spots you're happy to discover while traveling. Definitely recommend! I would highly suggest making reservations ahead of time because this little spot gets busy. It's also pet-friendly, with outdoor seating available on both the front and back patios. A cute, cozy find near the beach with delicious soups, memorable risottos, beautifully prepared scallops, and a lovely laid-back atmosphere.
