We enjoyed a fantastic dinner al fresco in the beautiful cozy front patio at La Balena decorated with colorful purple and white lights. First of all, the service was friendly, very attentive and professional. The food was fantastic and unique, too. We started with the delicious Burrata Tartufata (garnished with truffles), toasted bread, sea salt and olive oil. We then enjoyed the amazing chanterelle (great flavor!!!) mushrooms with linguini in a wonderful light sauce. We split their famous crispy giant Pollo Fritto which is half of a Fogline Farm Fried Chicken with flavorful mashed potatoes. We finished with a refreshing lemon sorbet nestled inside a giant lemon accompanied by Italian Biscotti. The owners, Emanuele Bartolini & Anna Abney Bartolini, stopped by to say hello and were so welcoming and kind. The restaurant also features an indoor dining room and back patio, but the front patio is my favorite! An outstanding dining experience in Carmel by the Sea. Very highly recommended!

Delicious Italian restaurant. Highly recommended ! The dishes were all great although we would have hoped that the portions were a little larger.

We went here for our 25th anniversary, on the recommendation of Emmanuela (someone we met in town). Her recommendation did not disappoint! We booked a reservation easily, arrived early and were seated early. My husband had the bisteccca and I had the fish of the day. Both were incredible! The service was impeccable and timely (but not rushed). They even brought us a sweet dessert on the house for our anniversary. Thank you for letting us enjoy your Carmel hallmark. It was a vacation highlight.
