We also tried the local beer and was very good. Great place to be. No pressure to come in like all the other places at the wharf.

My husband and I were on Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey, CA with our golden retriever. We asked a young man in one of the gift shops for a recommendation of a restaurant for lunch and lucky for us he recommended the Paluca Trattoria. He even gave us a card for a free appetizer. We walked over and were greeted by... More

One of the very, very few decent places to actually eat at on the wharf. The pastas are fresh, seafood is cooked the way you ask for it, the sauces nicely complement, the salads are good and the service is prompt and friendly. Good views, but even most of the really bad restaurants on the wharf have the view. If... More

Stopped in here for a late lunch. My youngest had the pasta and marinara sauce which she polished off. I had the clam chowder in the sourdough bowl - better than most chowders I had tasted so far on the wharf. My brother had linguine alla olio - very tasty - real olive oil and properly cooked pasta.

I was impressed by the family feel of this place. When we came, we were immediately seated. There was a family outside, finishing their meal, and us.... More

We ate here last Friday evening. We had a 7:15 PM reservation, and found that we were one of two filled tables at the place. To be fair, they had a table of 16 reserved (it is a pretty small place) and the party canceled at the last minute. This place has a lot of potential to be a really... More

we discovered this place unexpectedly while walking the wharf and spontaneously deciding to have dinner. The location is convenient and quiet while allowing a lovely vista of the area. Outdoor seating but protected from the wind was a very nice touch. Prices were reasonable, and the food was superbly cooked. Service was outstanding and attentive without being intrusive. You have...

Very average pub like food. Nothing special or tasty
