My friend ate here last month and thought it was wonderful. So this past weekend when we were here, he strongly recommended we go. The appetizer of grilled artichoke was done well and we enjoyed it but the pasta primavera was AWFUL! Probably the worst I've ever tried to eat. The pasta was well overcooked, and the vegetables were so... more

Had a wonderful dinner here. From the time we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. Although we had a short wait for our table, we were each given a complimentary glass of wine which hit the spot . The manager couldn't have been more accomodating. The food, the ambience, the romance...my favorite dinner while spending a week in... more

I'm an italian-american from New York. I know Italian food well. Whatever I got surved at Mondo's was far from Italian food. Avoid at all costs. more

My husband and I tried this restaurant based on all the excellent reviews while staying in Carmel. It was very disappointing. Being Italian myself, I am quite picky about Italian restaurants. This place seemed like what we would expect from a chain restaurant. The food was bland, the service extremely average, and the music playing during dinner on a Saturday... more

Having lived in Monterey for several years, I have eaten at most of the resteraunts around Carmel (at least the ones that have been there for any amount of time). Mondo's became a weekly tradition! It's incredibly cozy; the food is outstanding; and the wine list is superb! If you're there, look at the pictures on the wall of the... more

This was a little treasure found in Carmel-By-The-Sea. The entire experrience at this restaurant was perfect. The restaurant is small and when we first got there not very busy. However, it filled quickly so reservations are recommended. The wait staff was courteous and helpful with food selection and wine choices. (and they have an awesome wine list) The attire is... more

Restaurants in Carmel get innundated every year during the Pebble Beach Concours with rich tourists who have healthy egos and a well-developed sense of entitlement. I have no doubt that this onslaught can be wearing, but I still think my husband and I could have been treated better during our dinner at Tutto Mondo. Maybe it was because we ate... more

I was in Carmel with my 11yr old daughter and 4 yr old son for a few days this week-just relaxing and getting away from the heat!...I had never heard of Tutto Mondo, but it looked very popular and we decided to give it a try. I am a very particular diner and am not easily impressed. That said, I... more

During several days staying in Carmel during the July 4th week, my wife and I went to Tutto Mondo after deciding to skip Pacific Edge (at the Highlands Inn) due to their menu that night and the fact that the fabulous view their known for didn't exist...it was so foggy you couldn't see the ocean...any of it! Tutto Mondo is... more
