Unfortunately a bit overrated…read more I came to Gianni's with a large group (nine people) and didn't love our experience. When we arrived on the Fourth of July, it was very busy. There were no tables available that would fit our party. We walked around the restaurant a few times until we saw the back section that had a few large tables. There was a reserved sign for this section but nobody seated there. We asked if they had it reserved for a party or another large group but the employee curtly replied "just go sit there." There were some racks and trays spread out throughout the tables that we ended up rearranging ourselves while the others in our group placed our order at the counter. The staff at the register definitely weren't the friendliest which was a little disappointing. I hope their curtness was due to it being busy. I wasn't necessarily thrilled with the food either. The pizzas tasted good but were super impractical. They were not sliced all the way through and the toppings were the consistency of soup. As soon as we would rip off a slice, all of the toppings would slide right off. The only thing that was left was the dough with some sauce. We had to literally scoop all the toppings up with forks because everything was so soupy and soggy. Their soda machine had really good, crisp soda though! I loved the interior of this restaurant. The decor feels very nostalgic, with the checkboard table clothes and sky-painted ceilings. There is a small bar with TVs and ice cream sold at the entrance. I'd like to give Gianni's another shot!

We ordered a Mountain Pizza, garlic knots, 12 wings, and 2 all-you-can-eat salads. Our total was over $120, which was fine. While waiting for our food, I was eating some macaroni salad from my sister's plate because she had purchased one of the salad bar meals. My boyfriend ended up getting a small amount of macaroni and potato salad as well while another person in our group, who had also paid for a salad, was getting theirs. The employee wearing a navy blue Flash Laboratory crewneck sweatshirt noticed there was an extra plate and later came over to tell us that only two salads had been paid for. I understand that rules are rules, but the way it was handled came across as rude and unnecessarily confrontational. The attitude only continued when we asked for marinara sauce and were told it would be an extra charge. The wings were also supposed to come with ranch, but we never received it. We had to ask multiple times, and instead of helping us, it felt like the employees disappeared to the back. From our table, it seemed like they were joking around while we were still waiting on items we had already requested. The food itself was good, but the customer service really took away from the experience. For a first visit, it wasn't the impression I was hoping for, and it left my family and friends with a negative experience.

Fabulous. So many great choices. I like the Chicken Masterpiece. You can pick your own crustread more

This is an update/reply to owner on 4/1:…read more I think your reply to me here is making matters worse. You're refusing to take accountability for the fact that you hired an individual who is extremely obnoxious, mouthy, and disrespectful to a customer who is having a problem due to a combination of factors - one being that you closed early on a weekend night, and the other being that a third-party service is failing to do a good job. A third-party service I might add who you have chosen to do business with. As a small business owner myself, as you pointed out, I can assure you, I will never hire a person and allow them to work at my front desk who has the audacity to treat customers as rudely as your employee did. The largest offense here was the behavior of your employee and that is the one thing you have failed to address. There are solutions to the problems you were having - one is as simple as writing a note on your door, letting your customers know that you've chosen to close early that day. Another is refusing to do business with a third-party who is making matters worse rather than better for your business. But the most important thing here is having the care And attention that is required to not hire people capable of being so rude to your customers. Your employee did not make that offer of a pizza until we pointed out that he could have done something better to address the situation rather than giving mouth. But the point here is, we did not want pizza at that time. We wanted the night before when we were in a jam, and by that point, our trust in the food at your store was completely shattered. Because if a person makes a decision to hire someone that is so rude to customers, they may also make the decision to hire a cook who spits in your food. And anyone who fails to understand or address the unacceptable behavior of their employees when it is necessary is indeed a one star establishment. This is an update: A person from Pizza My Way called me a day after I posted my original 1-star review. She was friendly and helpful, and ultimately refunded the $40. I appreciated that. So I brought my review up to 3 stars. However, the situation was seriously unacceptable. Businesses have a responsibility to hire people who are going to treat customers with respect and who are capable of responding to problems created by decisions of the restaurant and their policies. This was a stressful experience and my wife and I walked away feeling very disrespected and initially $40 poorer with no pizza and no solution. The young person working for them has no business treating customers who pay a whopping $40 for a pizza that way- and his behavior being tolerated makes it impossible for me to give the restaurant another chance - so I cannot give an honest review of their food only their service. Maybe if someday I get a call that they have let said employee go they can regain my trust and I'll give them a try because their right up the street, and perhaps I can become a regular customer since I'm so close and they can get a higher rating from me. Originally posted 5/15: Worst pizza experience on the Monterey Peninsula by far. The place just randomly closes on a Saturday night well before their posted closing time. I order for pick up, spend over $40 for one large pizza which is absolutely crazy. I mean other people might think that's normal but I think that's crazy. That doesn't matter. I was in a jam and I had to get my kids some food and was not able to get back home and cook because of an emergency at work. In any case, I pay for the pizza online and then I called to confirm and there's no answer. I call multiple times. I show up to the store in person at around 8:35, 25 minutes before they are supposed to take their last order, and the whole place is dark. The next day, I am assured by the person I speak to on the phone that I will be refunded. Later on that day, I double checked to make sure that's true and it looks like they withdrawn the money from my bank account. So I called back and the person I speak to on the phone refuses to give me their name, they take absolutely no accountability for the situation, and offer absolutely no solution. So I spent $40 on pizza I never received, I was completely unable to get the attention of the manager, and my wife, and I both had to endure rudeness, extreme rudeness from their staff. When I walked in to restate my reasonable request to no avail, the person on staff was recording me on his phone. I don't get it. I'm the customer and I've already spent money and I still haven't received any product from them. It's nothing personal. When you're closing well before you posted hours on a weekend night, when you've got some cockamamie ordering system that you've built into your website, when you can't be accountable to your customers that spend money or even polite, you deserve the bad reputation that follows.

I've received several recommendations to stop in to La Bicyclette, so when a Friday night reservation for 4 opened, I knew I had to snag it! La Bicyclette markets itself as a French and European inspired bistro. It is extremely popular, so make a reservation if you want to eat before 9pm! The interior is charming and homey. The dress code is casual, but you can dress up if you'd like! By the time we came in for our reservation, we were ready to dig in! Our order included the following: * Gnocchis à la Parisienne $21**: I heard rumors about this miraculous gnocchi and it did not disappoint! The sauce was rich and cheesy, yet the gnocchi was bouncy and not soggy! I could eat this all by myself! * Tuscan Panzella Salad $20**: The freshest heirloom tomatoes were used in this salad. The croutons were tasty and super crunchy, balancing out the sweetness of the vinaigrette and strawberries. The portion is generous too! * Poisson Mediterranean $46: Cod was the catch of the day! The sauce was very flavorful, a bit much for me. The fish was perfectly cooked! * Spaghetti Amalfitana $48: This comes with a lobster tail -- wow! The sauce was also rich. The portion was huge, definitely shareable. The shrimp tasted like it was fresh out of the ocean! Not for me, but may be for some! * Steak au Poivre $58: The steak was perfectly cooked! Sliced easily and fell apart in your mouth. The peppercorn cognac sauce was delicious! * Summer Truffle Pizza $35**: I will be thinking about this pizza for the rest of my life. Crispy, not overwhelmingly oily, using real truffle on top. I would go back for this alone!!! Dessert: * Pot de Mousse au Chocolat (for two) $17: Luscious chocolate mousse, not overly sweet. Easy to eat and perfect for you and a date! * Affogato $14: I didn't try anything but the Madeline, which was fine! ** is a must-order! The service was spectacular. We were checked on many times during the dinner. The staff was attentive and thoughtful with their recommendations. I will yearn for La Bicyclette until the next time I return! 50000 stars out of 5.

We made our reservations a week in advance and we're glad we did because it was very busy. Thankfully, we did not have to park because our Airbnb was in walking distance. Parking is a challenge in Carmel and there is no private lot for this quaint restaurant. Service was friendly and mostly professional. Had a few hiccups with entrée deliveries, but still enjoyed the food. In this case, I feel like the establishment wanted to pretend nothing happened but when you wait 10 minutes for the last entree to be served while everyone else is eating it's hard to ignore so I think apology would've gone a long way but we didn't let it ruin our experience. For cocktails, we got Prosecco and a cider with complimentary cheese which paired really nicely. For appetizers we absolutely loved theStone fruit salad, mussels and the Gnocchi à la Parisienne. The gnocchi certainly lived up to its hype. Never had gnocchi this good. For entrées we got the Spaghetti all's vignole The Summer truffle pizza and the Steak au poivre special with pomme frites and the best aioli I've ever had. I usually avoid any type of sauce with fries, but I couldn't stop using this one for my French fries lol. Everything was delicious. Of course we couldn't pass up Profiteroles & Affogato for dessert and they were gone within a few minutes of hitting the table sadly. But they were delicious going down. Will definitely come back again if we ever make it back to Carmel.
