I donât like to eat out for the sake of eating out. However, on vacation nearly everyone looks for another-cooked meals for their sustenance. If the restaurant is great, the place will be well decorated, the server will be entertaining, and the food will taste like it was cooked just for you. This does not describe Louie Linguiniâs. The place appears to have been decorated in the 60âs, the server barely spoke to us, and the portions were small and tasted commercial. Like most things in California, I felt the prices were higher than the product could bring in other markets. On the plus side, our order was taken promptly, we didnât have to wait long for the food to be delivered and the view of Monterey Bay was great. We had a very relaxed time and enjoyed ourselves. My wife enjoyed a fruity mojito and I sipped on my chianti. Before we could drink even half our drinks, our server delivered our food. We took our time, partly because I felt the food was too hot, but mostly because we just wanted to relax at our repast. This would not be a place Iâd take a friend or business associate, but a couple on their pre-retirement vacation, this is perfect. I would go here if I was on a quick stop-over and just needed a beer and pizza or some decent pasta with a little wine. A short disclaimer: we visited this restaurant around 4 pm, before the dinner crowd, and probably at the end of the day shift. This may affect how this place perform. Iâm wondering if this place is livelier after dark, and more fun when the evening folks are running the joint.

The pizza here is good, and the toppings are excellent albeit expensive. Pizza My Way is probably the best local delivery pizza you can find in Pacific Grove. It's not life changing, but it IS great. We keeping coming back for more, and almost always order when family are in town to share some of the local flavors like artichoke etc.

We were lucky to have a table overlooking the Monterey bay, with Sea Lions and otters swimming by. Food was excellent, but not light. Made to Italian gourmet cooking. We had bass and lobster tails. Wish the bread was warm and crunchy, though. Otherwise, we enjoyed every bit of it, together with a Chianti bottle, that didn't disappoint us at all.Service was excellent.Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a nice review. Cafe Fina truly is the best place to sample both the spectacular Monterey Bay view and fresh seafood. Our Italian classics are all made from old family recipes handed down through the generations and can't be beat. So glad you found us; enjoyed the meal, the view and our staff! Please come back again soon.

My daughter chose this restaurant and it was delicious. Definitely try Lasagna- they are famous for. Spaghetti with meat sauce was great. Loved the Wedge salad and is big enough to split! Cream sauce dishes are super heavy. Cake was delicious and huge portion.

The pizza was good, but every table in the place had used dishes on it. They were completely overwhelmed and it wasn't really all that busy. Waited at the bar for about 10 minutes for a drink - finally gave up. There are probably a lot of better pizza places to go to.

Delicious vegetarian food with an emphasis on varietal hand-harvested mushrooms, the darkly painted walls envelope its patrons providing a warm and intimate atmosphere. Interesting and expansive menu, offering flavorful dishes and a worker's luncheon special, my dining partner and I departed with leftovers to reheat for dinner that evening. Generous portions, I felt the entrees were pricey, but definitely delicious. This is a very popular place, all tables filled up at lunch quite quickly.

Il Vecchio was a charming and delicious choice for dinner. The grilled vegetables were a healthy and tasty appetizer. My husband had lamb and pasta. I had shrimp and vegetables on skewers. We were both very pleased. We split vanilla gelato and caramel for desert to top it off. Yum!

Always perfection from start to finish! Warm, welcoming service and ambiance - and every bite is pure bliss. The house salad is my most favorite salad on the planet - Iâve never known anyone to be disappointed by any appetizer, entree, or desert. A wonderful place for a friends/family celebration, a romantic dinner, or for a solo diner to savor the moment.
