La Balena - Monte Verde St, Carmel

Excellent restaurant, delicious cuisine with quality products and excellent wines. Attentive and precise service. Compliments!!

Food was Wonderful!! It’s beautiful and relaxing! Prices were great too! Kid-friendliness: Made my very picky eater she “special spaghetti” it’s butter noodles

Beautifully cooked Italian food! Gorgeous atmosphere for its small location.

We chose Balena because it shows up on a lot of bloggers' lists but our experience was unremarkable nothing particularly bad or good.

This place used to be very good. This is my fifth time eating here. I tried to make it a point to come here every time when I am in town.Their appetizers are still good and it is still dog friendly.The cauliflower and octopus are delicious.The pasta however are all very bland and not great. It is very unfortunate because this place used to be excellent.
