Bay Area Nearby｜Monterey's Oceanview Italian Restaurant

📍 Osteria Al Mare Address: 32 Cannery Row Suite H, Monterey, CA 93940 ✅Amidst Monterey's many "tourist traps," this Italian restaurant, highly recommended by local friends, is a true hidden gem! ✅ Nestled in a quiet stretch of Cannery Row, its floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking views of Monterey Bay. 💫When we visited at noon on a Saturday, two-thirds of the diners were Italian-speaking regulars—the ultimate testament to its quality. 🍝 Pasta That Will Change Your Mind 💫Though I usually watch my carbs, the handmade pasta here was worth every bite! Squid Ink Tagliolini: Made with sauce from locally caught squid, saffron, and lemon zest—the umami depth puts ordinary seafood pasta to shame 📷Secret Menu: Wednesday's wild boar pappardelle (as whispered by our server—the chef hails from Tuscany) 🐟 Seafood Ordering Tips Skip American-style grilled fish (you're right—it "lacks the taste of the sea") #BayAreaWeekend #MontereyMustEat #AuthenticItalian
