As soon as we set our date of the road trip, I started doing research on all the restaurants we would love to visit on the way. One of the first restaurants on our list is Casanova, a French/Italian restaurant located in Carmel-by-the-Sea. I was really drawn to the cute decor and their menu featuring fresh pasta.
Really cute and romantic setting for a dinner date!
Yummy complimentary bread sticks. 
Braised beef and mozzarella cannelloni with truffle and tomato sauce. So good!!
Squid and clam capellini with white wine sauce. 
To finish up a lovely dinner, we had warm chocolate cake + banana hazelnut ice cream!
