    Simply not authentic at all. Pasta was rough, heavy and undercooked. No seasoning on the bolognese. Bland across the board. Crazy expensive. No visible managers in a Friday night that might have guided quality. Just not good.

    Another exceptional evening at Monica's. Nubia provided us with kind and welcoming hospitality. We ordered specials - both veal dishes - and were beyond satisfied with the creative flavors and high quality ingredients. The chef's continue to exceed our high expectations!

    We had a wonderful time, our server was great and attentive. We met a wonderful group of guys from England. They were gracious and kind and bought my wife and I a nice bottle of wine to help us celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary. Overall a wonderful night.

    Had a reservation for 8:15, was seated just after 9pm. Staff was not attentive, took 20 minutes for a waiter to come to our table after being seated despite the fact that there were more than enough servers walking around. Food was great but not worth the price or the wait.

    Food was great, but no substitutions? Really? My friend was gluten free and I have a seafood allergy. It really limits the menu. It was EXTREMELY LOUD!
