Paluca Trattoria - Monterey

It is a very beautiful place and for the most part and a pleasant experience. Unfortunately, I ordered the fish and chips that were more dough than fish. The meal was good overall, but do not give up the dish I ordered.

Visited Paluca for the first time today. I?d heard that the chowder was so good? well, it?s true. The soup is rich, silky, creamy base with beautiful clams, just a bit of potato, and a hint of citrus. It was so satisfying. The calamari was tender and crispy and a fantastic accompaniment to the chowder. Our server, Katie, made our visit so pleasant and helpful. Everyone we encountered was friendly and the location on the harbor was beautiful. I?ll definitely be back.

Great views. Lots of outdoor seating and indoor seating as well. Great view of the wharf and they have heat lamps for the cold. Food was good, waiters are fast and attentive, felt very italian vibes at the ocean. Would recommend the bruschetta and and pasta is cooked to al dentr

The food was good. First time having Lobster Ravioli, was good. Also tried Gnocchi in Pesto Sauce. Best Pesto ever tasted. Outdoor dining over looking the ocean.

Enjoyed an early dinner. We ordered the following: for appetizer, Brushcetta Gamreroni, included Prawns. Seafood Pasta, included Scallops, Prawns and Mussels. It was supposed to have Clams, but only two shells were found. Linguini Ala Arrabiata, included Prawns and Linguini. All dishes were prepared well, the only drawback is the cold. All seating is outdoors along the water and as the cool breeze turned cold real quick. The food can get cold quick in the evening. Staff was cordial.
