" We had the pleasure of dining at Little Napoli last week, and it was truly special. Everything from the calamari to the tiramisu was a delight. The highlight was definitely the peach caprese salad. My partner had the seafood risotto, which was creamy and rich. The ambiance on the patio was beautiful, especially as the sun set. Our waiter was attentive without being overbearing, which we appreciated. This is a must-visit for anyone in Carmel! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Little Napoli after hearing so many rave reviews, and I can say it did not disappoint! I loved the wood-fired pizzas; they were thin, crispy, and packed full of fresh ingredients. The atmosphere is charming with its rustic decor, reminiscent of a quaint Italian eatery. Plus, our server was knowledgeable about the menu and offered great suggestions. I will definitely return to enjoy another meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated my sister's birthday at Little Napoli last weekend, and it was a great choice. The family-style dining setup made sharing the fabulous dishes easy. The gnocchi in truffle sauce was divine! The servers were attentive without being overbearing. It truly felt like an authentic Italian feast. However, the wait time for a table was longer than expected, so I suggest making a reservation ahead of time. " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited Little Napoli recently and found it to be an adorable little spot in town. We started with garlic bread, which was tasty but could have used a bit more seasoning. For my main, I ordered the lasagna. It was hearty and delicious, but not as authentic as I had hoped—it had a bit too much cheese for my liking. Despite this, the service was excellent, and the aesthetics of the place were charming. I would rate this as a solid restaurant but maybe not my top pick for Italian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! Little Napoli is absolutely charming, and the food is superb. From the moment we walked in, we felt like we were in Italy. I had the margherita pizza, which was excellent—perfect crust and quality toppings. The atmosphere was vibrant yet relaxing, ideal for a date. Our server had excellent suggestions, including a lovely dessert that I can't get out of my head! This is easily one of my favorite dining spots now. " (*Curated Review*)

" Little Napoli isn't just another Italian restaurant—it's a delightful escape. We sat outside, which offered an ideal view of the lovely Carmel surroundings. The pasta dishes we ordered were cooked to perfection, and you could tell everything was made from scratch. Service was friendly but could have been a tad quicker. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone who enjoys authentic Italian flavors in a lovely setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing fantastic reviews about Little Napoli, I decided to visit for dinner. While the service was on point, I was a bit let down by the food—specifically the pizza. The crust was thicker than what I consider traditional Italian. However, the ambience was great, and my family enjoyed the other dishes. So overall a mixed bag for me. " (*Curated Review*)
