    Monte’s Trattoria was a really great place to have dinner in the city! We were an hour late due to getting lost/travel and they were able to accommodate us within 15 minutes. They were so very kind and the food was excellent. The pasta was fresh and the sauces were light and delicious. Dessert is also worth getting! :)

    Food was a bit bland, not as good as my last visit. Service was off. Our waiter seemed to be a bit grumpy and maybe it was because they got busy later in the evening. This should not keep others from trying Monte’s but given a choice I might pick another restaurant next time .

    The staff was very welcoming the minute we walked in the door. We arrived about 45 min early for our reservations and they seated us immediately. The tables upstairs were a bit crowded. Customers kept bumping into my son's chair every time they walked by. The food and service were both excellent.

    This is a classic, small, very family feeling Italian restaurant with great food, great prices, good and fast service. Judging by all the photos on the wall, it’s been a very popular go to Restaurant for many decades.
