Wonderful trattoria. Had the chicken Marsala and it was fantastic. Happy hour meatballs and tomato sauce was good. Tomato sauce is bright but not acidic. I will be coming back!

Happy hour is amazing!! Loved the pork shoulder, the shrimp and the burrata. Took my beloved truffle pasta home as I was too full to eat it. Will try the lamb Ragu next time. Zero room for the gelato yet again. I truly love this place. Will soon be a regular. By the way I confirmed with the waiter I think Sam who said on Wednesdays that they close at around 7:30. Morale of that is get there early and on time. --- Tried looking for pictures on my phone for the truffle pasta but couldn't find it. I was so eager for it that I inhaled it. That said it was delicious. We loved it and the food and service was wonderful. Will definitely go back and get that pasta again and try the gelato. Didn't try that but will definitely consider due to the rave reviews.

Tasty calamari, beet salad, cheesecake, and rigatoni. Kind, polite staff who use gender inclusive language! You can hear your party even when the restaurant is busy!

What a great meal! Stopped here when in town and was starving. Most food was poorly rated and highly expensive in the area, il vecchio was neither of these two. Once stopping in we were able to be seated right away and the service was very quick, and the food was delicious. One thing I would say to fix - the salmon dish says it’s paired with saffron risotto . This is not the case, it’s just rice - not risotto. The soup of the day was split pea soup and it was just fantastic. Exactly how grandma use to make it !

Solid Italian place. Pretty small and focused menu. Met expectations. Service was good.

We discovered this hidden gem a year ago and honestly…I almost didn’t review it because selfishly I just want to keep it to myself! This place is AMAZING. Everything is homemade. The food, service, environment and charm is simply unbeatable. Watching the kitchen is mesmerizing - they are a well-oiled machine putting out hot, perfectly-seasoned and well-portioned hearty Italian meals. Order anything on the menu and I guarantee you’ll be happy!

The service is quick at this place. They brought us our plates within five minutes of placing. The food made me and my wife a little sick in the stomach, but not sure why, given that it smelled and tasted really good. We ordered the Orecchiette and the Rigatoni.

I ended up here for breakfast recently after waiting for 45+ minutes outside of First Awakenings after the FA staff told me it would be a 10-15 minute wait. I am glad I walked down the street to check this place out. I was seated immediately and the server came to take our order quite quickly. When I was seated, there was 2-3 other tables with people sitting. By the time we left, the restaurant had completely filled up with people we noticed that had also been waiting outside First Awakenings. The service was absolutely outstanding. I believe it was only 2 or 3 of them, but they were working their butts off to make sure everyone was taken care of. The food was really solid as well. Plus $5 Mimosas and $6 Bellinis. Delicious. Would definitely recommend it as a solid breakfast offering to anyone in the area. French Toast was excellent.

Of the Italian I have had in Monterey it is the best. Made a reservation for a Friday at 6 but it was already packed. Still ended up waiting like 20 min for a table and other people waited as well. There was some confusion. The wine list was surprisingly good if you like Italian wines I would recommend. Everyone at the table got different things. The lamb ragù was pretty good and the carbonara as well. And prices were ok for Monterey. I would not get the tiramisu. It was a really let down at the end as it was pretty runny. But everything else was decent. Ended up spending about 50$ per person plus tip. I might return here.

Great rustic place to have a meal. I have had lunch here many times, this was the first time I had breakfast. My frittata was served in a cast iron skillet. It was delicious, coffee was good too, they left the pot on the table so I just refilled my cup.
