This restaurant was close to our hotel, so we decided to try it one night. All in our party had something different and we were all pleased with our main dishes. Our two disappointments were wine by the glass and dessert. There was a large wine list, with a wide variety of prices, but there were no wines listed by... more

Great food, nice quiet atmosphere, very low key. I had a pasta pescatore, excellent fresh fish and shellfish, my wife had a pasta dish with meatballs, and the gentlemen seated next to us called the owner over to tell him the chicken cacciatore was the best he ever had. Everything was nice, be careful though of the wine, 10 a... more

My wife and I went here on our first night in Carmel. This place was fantastic. First of all, they give you bread and some marinated kalamata olives at your table. The olives were out of this world awesome. The bread was fine, the but olive oil & balsamic vinegar was in the coolest container I've ever seen. I am... more

We do not feel like customers - we feel like family. I can truthfully say I, nor my wife, have ever had anything here that was not excellent, and we... more

We went to Da Giovanni on the advice of our hotel and thought the mediterranean food was excellent. But we feel compelled to mention one thing you should watch out for.

Our hotel recommended this place and after seeing the reviews on tripadvisor, we thought we would try it. Dave was the host and after telling him it was my husband's birthday, he brought over 2 glasses of champagne on the house as well as desert. It was a nice touch. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. Appetizer, dinner, fantastic. (PHOENIX) more
