Enzo - Carmel

We passed on the carbonara because they didn't use guanciale, and had the bolognese instead. Good call. It was very good, perfectly paired with their delicious chianti. The veal could be a little bit more tender. Some may feel there's too much lemon, but I like me some citrus flavors. The orange-flavored sponge cake was not too sweet, and goes perfect with a double shot of espresso. The place was clean and cozy, service was fast and very friendly.

Highly recommend this place. Very authentic Italian. The pesto is to die for. I'm not a fan of tiramisu but it was so delicious!!

Great location! Dog friendly. Made reservations to sit outside on the patio and were seated promptly when we arrived. We split an order of calamari to start which was really tasty. I had the rigatoni calabria which was delicious! My mom also enjoyed her salmon. For dessert, our first choice was sold out (the torta al cioccolato). Instead, we tried some gelato and tiramisu which was the perfect way to wrap up our meal. Will definitely be back next time I’m in town.

Enzo should be avoided at all costs. Printed on the menu: the customer is NOT always right . This unwelcoming attitude pervades the establishment. The gentleman with thick glasses was very slow to speak with me when I walked in to request a table at the half empty restaurant. We only considered dining here because other options nearby had a wait. The same man was our waiter and was not welcoming to our group either. He was gruff, tried to rush our food order multiple times, forgot our water preference, and brought me the wrong wine. We decided to leave after one drink and dine elsewhere. I suggest you do the same and avoid Enzo.

After returning from a month long trip touring the South to the North of Italy I was yearning for authentic Italian food, coffee and wine. Enzo Ristorante did not disappoint. For antipasto we had Aged Parma Ham and Parmigiana Reggiano, Meraviglioso!! Brisket Tortelloni with Truffles and Rigatoni with a wonderful Ragu Calabria for our first accompanied with a fabulous wine our flavor pallets just exploded. For our main, we followed their recommendation and enjoyed an amazing Super Tuscan wine with Branzino Silano. An absolute treasure of an experience that Enzo and his wonderful team provided. I can’t wait until I return. Enjoy!!
