We dined again at Montalcino tonight and it was fantastic! The cozy atmosphere set the perfect tone, while the food was exceptional—fresh pasta and perfectly prepared lamb shanks. Waitstaff Lucy and Maria were friendly and attentive. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Italian food in a quaint environment.

This is our favorite restaurant. I had the Sacchetti Al Cinghiale and my husband had the recommended Crab Ravioli special. Both were EXCELLENT! The staff is very helpful and will answer all questions about the menu. We started with the Antipasti platter and it was incredible. Looking forward to our next visit!

I have been going to Montalcino during the holiday season for around 7 years now, even during COVID when they set up a tent in the outside parking lot. Clearly, it has always been very good and that is why I keep returning. However, tonight the experience rose to "superb." The special assorted appetizer was beautifully arranged and tasted as good as it looked. My saffron lobster go-to dish was perfect. The other dishes--lamb shank, waygu meatballs and pasta in a Marsala sauce, and short rib raviolis in Marsala sauce also made the other guests very pleased! For dessert, the cannoli, pistachio cheesecake, Italian sundae, and Limoncello gelato were all excellent for topping off a memorable meal. Our waitress was very attentive and the atmosphere was so casually and comfortably elegant that the entire experience was top notch. Will not be able to wait until next year's holiday season to return again! Thank you, Montalcino!
