About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
If a Western Mediterranean version of life exists, you will find it nestled between Ocean ave and Seventh st on San Carlos Street in Carmel-by-the-Sea. The European style village nestled above a picturesque white sandy beach is the perfect backdrop to "ENZO". At Enzo, you will be beckoned by the rustically charming patios surrounded by draping bougainvillea on a sundrenched day or the cozy and simplistic interior warmed by the fireplace when the cool fog blankets the coast.

Calabria is a southern region in Italy where the owner, Enzo, comes from. Calabria is a place where life is still slow.

It's the beauty, the passion, the family, the love...

this is what you will find at Enzo...simplicity, love, comfort, family!

Enzo Ristorante Italiano offers cozy, authentic Italian experiences with "amazing" pasta dishes and a "charming ambiance."

    This was the WORST restaurant we have ever been to in all of our travels. Itilo was our server. Our food came out to the table and it was awful. The rigatoni was cold and my lasagne was not made fresh. It had a congealed sauce which means it was previously frozen. We sent back the food and asked him to heat it . We waited almost 15 minutes and still didn’t have our food. We asked for the check thinking he wouldn’t charge us for the entrees. He did and I made the mistake of paying for it as to not make a scene. I have repeatedly called to speak to the owner/manager. He is never there. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Our hotel will not be recommending it to anyone as well. All I want is my money back for the entrees that were never brought back. I made a mistake paying which I won’t ever do again.

    We had a nice salad and a pasta dish for dinner. The food was pretty good. The business was very slow that day.

    Our server was very pushy he insisted I try the Rose even though I told him I didn’t like Rose and had asked for a Sauvignon Blanc. The food was mediocre felt like fast food our order arrived within minutes of ordering. They add a charge for using your credit card. All in all not a good experience.

    Quality of the food was very good. Value was not good. Portions were small for the cost. The server was not friendly, almost hostile.
