First time trying this cute place in downtown Carmel. Outside was inviting and a little hallway took us to a back patio type seating. I was craving steak (I'd seen it on the wall menu outside), but our waiter told us it was part of the dinner menu and not available for another hour. He then offered to check with the chef to see if they could accommodate us.
They did! The steak was cooked to the temperature we asked, fries were crunchy and well done, and the atmosphere was serene and peaceful. I definitely would like to go back as it was a meal to remember.
Overall good place to eat. Nothing exciting but it did the job to satisfy my hunger. We shared a diavola pizza and a Ceasars salad. It's pretty big so you have both indoor and outdoor choices.
This ambient gem found in adorable Carmel is a must-try if looking for Italian food. We were blown away by how authentic the Italian flavors were, it totally equates to Italian food you’d find in Italy and they have a variety of delicious pastas, pizzas and dessert. We had their meatballs (yum!), lasagna, truffle gnocchi (one of the winners!!) and a pizza with goat cheese. Desert served excellent tiramisu and although potentially criminal, crème brûlée from heaven. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the evening so much we stayed until closing. Go for an unforgettable dinner experience!
Our attendant “Baily” was supe cool and kind she was taking care of all the customers while working hard at the bar. The food was crunchy, tasty and delicious. Make sure to book your table in advance and enjoy your dinner with the great ambience. They also have happy hours for food too..!!! Make sure you try their parmesan fries

We always enjoy dining at any Pepe restaurant. The food is always absolutely delicious, the service is above and beyond, and the atmosphere is very lovely. I have to give props to the staff. When we last visited Little Napoli, the staff had to deal with some undesirable customers. We witnessed on two different occasions in one visit what the hostesses and servers had to deal with with rude customers for no reason (shame on those people). And my hats off to all of them for continuously providing good and kind customer service. I wouldn’t have been able to do the same myself with the ridiculous demands these people were unfairly requesting and over complicating things. But they handled everything so politely and gracefully. Meanwhile, making sure we were still attended to with a smile on their faces. Thank you to the staff for always making our experience enjoyable. Thank you to the cooks who prepare the delicious food and the servers who so pleasantly serve us. And thank you Chef Pepe for creating such wonderful environments for us to get to continuously enjoy the dining out experience.
We dined at Little Napoli last Thursday evening. The weather was mild so we opted to sit outdoors on the patio. The patio was just lovely and every table had a heater. Our server was pleasant and kind. We started with the bean and vegetable soup which was served hot! The cup was generous and the soup was delicious. Everything tasted so fresh. A variety of white beans and perfectly cooked vegetables. We also ordered a mushroom pizza with carmelized onions. It was fantastic! The crust was the perfect crunchy / chewy combination and the flavors were so yummy!
We were celebrating my birthday and our server kindly brought us a delicious warm brownie and ice cream. Such an enjoyable evening. Thank you!
We had a family reunion and everyone stayed at Carmel. I had to find a place that could accommodate 10 people which included kids. I was happy to know that a Little Napoli had a little room called the “Library” that you can use if you spend a minimum of $500, which is quite easy. It worked so well for us and our waiter was fantastic. The food was delicious and turned the entire weekend between three different restaurants, my family said this one was the best! I will gladly go again and recommend this place to anybody!
Excellent food and service! My wife ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana and I ordered the Meatball Lollypops & the Grilled Asparagus. We split an order of the "Famous Garlic Bread". My wife said the Eggplant Parmigiana was the best she's ever had! And, she's had many. My meatballs were definitely the best I've ever had as well! They were very flavorful and so tender they felt like they melted in my mouth, excellent! The Grilled Asparagus was also Very flavorful! And even though some spears were thicker, they were All tender. We split the Garlic Bread and it too was excellent. It even came with a small bowl of some very good Marinara sauce.
As always were greeted with a smile and sat quickly. We were very well taken care of and appreciate the staff and is always very friendly and accommodating. The food was fabulous and we cannot wait to return on our next visit. Very highly recommended for all to stop by and experience a first class experience.
Went here a couple times when I was in Carmel for the golf tournament. Really enjoyed the wine bar both evenings. Was there for the happy hour one time. Lots of delicious small plates and tasty vino. Our server who we named jersey, provided us with excellent service. I highly recommend this place for a good time.
Our go to place in Carmel every time we visit. Friendly staff and dog friendly outdoor patio. Vegetarian friendly restaurant. They were able to make something outside the menu when we asked for something simple . Love the Parmesan fries, cheese ravioli, the margarita pizza. The baked truffle gnocchi taste will linger for hours .
Little Napoli can be considered a staple of Carmel. This Italian restaurant has been serving tasty dishes in a charming ambience for decades. From pizzas, pasta dishes, and salads to garlic bread and tiramisu. Friendly and accommodating staff. Indoor and outdoor seating. Reservations are recommended.
Every meal is yammy! Desserts are also awesome! It lights up my day~
Had my birthday dinner here tonight. Ernestino was our server and did a fabulous job. He took his time spreading out all the courses for a delicious experience. Loved the pasta and homemade sauce. The atmosphere was old World Italian. Highly recommend.
Mi familia amo la pizza 🍕 ♥️ de este lugar
My family loves the pizza at this place. We will be back soon.
Went two nights in a row. Really fun atmosphere and the food was great. Roasted Garlic app was great. Pizzas good. Gnocchi truffle special was awesome. The garlic bread was overrated in my opinion. Overall awesome spot and reasonable for Carmel
This place has a nice and cozy Italian ambiance. We ordered a Garlic Bread, Calamari Fritti, Truffle Mushroom Pizza and Tiramisu. Their garlic bread was one of the best I’ve ever had and the Tiramisu was a delight.
Also, if you’re a vegetarian - there aren’t a lot of veg options here so you ask them to skip meat wherever possible.
