Highly recommend the superfood smoothie, and the immunity juice. Both were sweet, fresh, and very tasty.

Having walked by Il Posto’s modern, usually busy two-story building many times, I had high expectations. After trying the food, however, I was unimpressed. The Burrata was bland and didn’t pair well with the artichoke hearts and stiff chips. The gnocchi wasn’t prepared correctly, and the Crème Brûlée was disgusting. Its caramel tasted like burnt chemicals. I do not recommend Il Posto.

Serving traditional Italian fare, Casanova is well-known around Carmel and highly recommending on Tik Tok. There are 3 seating areas: an out front patio that allows pets, inside, and in the back courtyard. We sat on the patio where heat lamps kept us toasty.

We started with Bread Service for $9, which was terrible. The bread was burnt and hard. I don’t recommend it. We then tried the Escargot, which had a tasty butter filling. Ask for a side of salt, you won’t regret it. Lastly, I ordered the Gnocchi appetizer for dinner, which turned out to be the same size as other entrees like the Cannelloni. The gnocchi was truly the star of the show: fluffy inside with a crisp exterior bathed in a creamy sauce. Highly recommend!
