3.0 of 5 stars. The food and service were good. The place is cute but the surroundings could be better. Carmel Valley shops in this area could be a lot nicer.

A gem in the Carmel Valley

Nestled back in the Carmel Valley is Cafe Rustica, Italian-style country cooking that makes us want to drive the three hours it takes us to arrive there. The first time we ate there, we went with our kids in...
