"Right next to San Carlos beach lies this hidden gem of a restaurant with a kitchen run by Italian chef Maurizio Cutrignelli. He cut his teeth along the Adriatic Sea and it shows as he turns Monterey’s seafood — think fettuccine with clams, shrimp, and mussels — into stunning dishes. Prices here are sensible, too, an ideal option for both those traveling to see the sights and local residents." - Lauren Saria, Paolo Bicchieri, Dianne de Guzman
