Down by the San Carlos beach on the edge of the pier, sits Osteria Al Mare (Restaurant at the sea, in Italian). Come enjoy the beautiful pier, sea lions, and the taste of the old country.
All of our ingredients are locally sourced and are as fresh as could be found. While our menu does change to reflect the freshest of ingredients, we offer such stables as Fritto Di Calamari, Stinco di Maiale alla Birra (beer braised pork shank) and our Pan-seared salmon. These items Maurizio perfected in Italy more than 30 years ago.

We were greeted by who I assume is the owner. He was so friendly and accommodating. Made a table for us outside when they didn’t have any 4 tops available. We watched sea lions in the water and enjoyed the view without the hustle and bustle of tourists further up on Cannery Row. Food was wonderful and even better than we expected.

Loved the fried snapper. (Thank you for offering it, because I’m sure that at least some of your customers wouldn’t think of ordering a whole fish.) And the bread! As good as the bread that I’ve had in any restaurant, and far, far better than most.

Everything about this meal was top notch! The service was outstanding. The staff works as a team to make sure your meal is a 5 star experience. My only food complaint would be that the raw oysters were JUMBO instead of medium sized like told to us. They were good just absolutely ginormous, so they were a bit awkward to consume. The clam chowder was perfect, and the fettuccine with shellfish was incredible. The pasta must be made from scratch and the shellfish was plentiful and cooked to perfection. My scallops woth truffle ravioli in brown butter sage was amazing also. To finish the meal we had cannolis, which were crispy and the filling "almost" as good as from NY. The table for 2 was way too small for the courses but we managed. The sunset view was the cherry on top.

Your restaurant was amazing! I came for my birthday & I chose it because you were pet friendly. I'd never heard of it & frankly, if you aren't going to the restaurant, you'd miss it. Maurizio (the owner) seated me, made sure my pup had a bowl of water & told me the specials. I had thought I'd just have an appetizer & salad, but I decided on the blackened cod on mushroom & almond (?) ravioli. It did not disappoint!! I have not had a meal like that in ages! Your staff is attentive but not overbearing. You've won me over Maurizio!! You'll be a regular stop when I come over. Thank you for an amazing birthday meal.

There were six of us for dinner celebrating a birthday and an engagement. The food was fantastic. We shared three appetizers, and three soups and had a family-style dinner of 5 entrees. The service was excellent. The ambience was friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be returning on our next visit to Monterey!

excellent food very busy and the service was a bit slow but you overlook this because the view is amazing and the food proportions are very generous! Can't wait to go back when we visit Monterey next year....

Food was wonderful. The polenta appetizer is one of our all time favorites! Overall service was great - I think they were just a little short handed. All the staff members were buzzing! The owner, bless his heart, was clearing and wiping off tables at one point. Great dinner!

We always enjoy dining here with a lovely 2nd floor view of the harbor and Monterey Bay. The patio is great. You can hear the sea lions barking and often see sea otters swimming right below. The service is very friendly and attentive. The pasta and seafood are fresh and delicious. Great cocktails too.

My first time at the restaurant was casual, leisurely, and friendly. The last time I arrived shortly after 8 pm and felt continually rushed throughout the meal. Perhaps it’s policy to hurry up and close the doors, but I was severely disappointed by that.
The food was top notch, I just wish I had time to savor it.

Splendid place with epic CA coastal views. Genuine Italian cooking - elevated at that. Can get busy and staff can in turn get spread thin. But we didn't really care. We were having too much fun to care. Italian is spoken here. Just far enough off of Cannery Row to feel local. And: many locals frequent this restaurant. Good value.

This is our favorite place in Monterey. The staff is fantastic, the service is impeccable and attentive. The menu is well done and delicious, every time we go it's perfect. Plus, the views of the harbor and hearing the sea lions barking makes it memorable.

Amazing Restaurant!
Heard so much about the fresh fish/ seafood! OMG! All true!
We made reservations about a month plus out. Recommend, because this place is popular for the cuisine and ambiance!

We liked everything about our evening @ OaM. The pricing is not what we see in the central valley but one doesn't get to enjoy the view of a bustling marina and Monterey Bay during sunset.

The service was attentive and friendly and the fish tasted like it jumped on our plate right out of the water. The pasta quatro formaggi was off the hook! Great views from every table as well.
