"We looked forward to a 100 year old rest. We found the staff disinterested in almost everything. Food mediocre and service is there only if you ask for it. The words thank you or good bye ....non existent! Don't waste your time."

"We were in New York for a very short time and we did not want to eat "tourist food." I found reviews for "where the locals eat" and we were not disappointed. Making a reservation was super easy and I am glad I made it because the restaurant was very crowded. The food was delicious and the service was excellent."

"We had a romantic dinner at Monte's and were very pleased with the food, service and family feel to the restaurant. I had the veal osso buco and my wife had a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. Both dishes were outstanding. We both highly recommend this restuarant."

"Used to be regular spot for us unttil children 25 years ago and we finally brought them along to enjoy with us. Private party caused us to be upstairs which We didn't even know about. Good service , better food. Children, not kids any more, we're impressed. More so when we left through main dining room downstairs and they saw the ambience we had mentioned. Will be back."

"I've been going to this restaurant for almost 35 years. I like the location. I like the waiters and the owner is very friendly. The food is always tasty and I never feel over stuffed when I leave even when I have dessert. There certainly is enough variety on the menu. If I have dessert the one thing I love is the zabaione with strawberries. It has to be made on the spot. My son and I recently ate here and I had fried zucchini for an appetizer, chicken cacciatore and zabaione for dessert. My son had fried calamari, a tortellini in an alfredo sauce and ricotta cheese cake for dessert. The bread was fresh. We obviously had reservations, but there was a line of people waiting when we left and we weren't rushed during our meal."

"My two friends and I came here for dinner last weekend and we picked the perfect spot! We love Italian and this was authentic... great atmosphere, small restaurant, charming waiters. In fact, when we left the restaurant we had to remind ourselves that we were not back in Italy!"

"I had a great dinner at Monte's. I went with a friend. She ordered the mussels and thought they were excellent. Service was very nice. The chef/owner came to our table to ask how our meal was and stayed for a couple of minutes. I thought that was a great touch. Will definitely go back and recommend this restaurant to friends. I do think reservations are highly recommended. It gets very crowded."

"We enjoyed our meal. The set-up is small but feels cozy. The service was prompt and friendly. The food is old-fashion italian, with quite of few choices. We enjoyed the fried zucchini, the trout and the scallops and for desert we had a very well-done panna cotta. The wines are affordable, with a half-caraf option. We'll come back to try more dishes."

"Went to celebrate our 40th anniversary with college friends. The food was terrific, but we were made to felt completely at home, as if were dining at a close relative's home. Great people, and I can see why it's been there for 95 years !"
