    Background on Abalonetti:
    One of the wharf's original restaurants, Abalonetti Seafood was opened in 1951 by two Sicilian families. Named for its signature squid dish that features calamari prepared in the style of an abalone (á la abalonetti), the restaurant quickly gained praise for unique calamari presentation. In 1991, the seafood eatery reopened under the leadership of local culinary celebrity John Pisto. Pisto recognized the restaurant's exceptional skill with calamari and helped expand the menu to include other seafood entrees, gourmet pizzas and a bountiful antipasto bar. Jim Gilbert purchased Abalonetti's in 2007 and Kevin Phillips, previously general manager for Pisto's restaurant group, became managing partner in 2008. In the following years, Phillips has dedicated himself to introducing Abalonetti's to a new generation of seafood and calamari enthusiasts. Careful to preserve the restaurant's traditional favorites while creating an engaging environment for both locals and tourists, the new Abalonetti Bar and Grille will continue to be destination dining on Monterey's wharf.
