Rustic restaurant for Italian menus, from pasta to charcuterie plates, plus wine in a cozy space.
From the La Balena team comes this rustic Italian eatery that puts a casual spin on the restaurant group’s signature fare, offering up hand-rolled pastas with several sauces (including vegan options), plus salads, charcuterie and seafood small plates. The petite Downtown Carmel space offers a few tables and counter seats, well-stocked wine shelves and lots of natural light.
