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.

Our waiter was clearly trying to rush us to order our meal within moments of our party of 9 being seated. But then ignored us and left our dirty dishes in front of us for the longest time and only removed them when we asked him too. It was just a bit odd and a little off putting for some within my birthday dinner party. otherwise food is wonderful and the ambience great.

We were a little late for our reservation because of traffic and other delays and Osteria was very accommodating. This was a post burial service meal for the family so we appreciated the attention given to us by the waitstaff. Although I wanted the spaghetti, because two of us had white shirts we opted for the ravioli. All of us enjoyed our meal. We all had other meetings to attend or work to resume, so we appreciated the prompt service. Osteria al Mare never fails to satisfy.

I have been to Osteria Del Mar many times before the pandemic and it was my favorite restaurant in the area, but I don’t think I will go any more. Maybe they changed hands? The meal was very disappointing. I had the seafood pasta. The squid wasn’t cleaned well and had just been cut and thrown in the sauce. There were pieces of the siphon and the squid stomach inside pieces of the mantle and the beak was connected to the tentacles. I have cooked squid many times and know how to clean it myself so I was frankly shocked by this poor cleaning job. The muscles tasted fishy. It was really disappointing as the food used to be really high quality. Location is still lovely but as it was a birthday dinner for a friend, I was very embarrassed. When I commented, the waiter said the squid is cleaned in China? Then offered a complimentary dessert of lemon pie which was previously frozen and still frozen in the middle. It was just a sad meal. I’m am sorry!!

The food was absolutely delicious! Our party ordered the Fish of the Day, a delicious Sea Bass over Spinach Risotto and the Fish Stew. We were not disappointed! It was absolutely delicious, the staff was knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The ambience can't be beat, with the view of the harbor and bay, it is truly a beautiful Monterey Experience! We take all of our out of town guests to Osteria Al Mare!

My meal was terrific as usual, but my friends dinner was pasta with spot prawns in the shells. She had great difficulty in getting the meat out of the prawns and really did not enjoy her meal because of that. Might ask clients if they want the whole prawns or the meat taken out. I am with her. I do not like to work that hard for my dinner :)

Wonderful experience! Food was fresh (black cod entree), delicious, and perfectly prepared just as we reached each course. As in Italy, we were never rushed and were allowed to savor each course at our own speed. Service was attentive, engaging, but never hovering. Seasonings of every dish are balanced and delicious. This is an excellent Italian restaurant!

One of my favorite restaurants in Monterey! The views, food and service are just outstanding. This last visit we enjoyed the bruschetta, clam chowder, Ravioli di Carne, Bistecca di Manzo alla griglia, Sand-dabs Cappellini and the most heavenly lemon meringue pie. Everything was seasoned and cooked perfectly! So delicious and can't wait to go back. Un'esperienza culinaria perfetta - grazie!
