    Excellent restaurant all around. We were early so we sat at the bar for a round of cocktails while conversing with Pietro Marconi. Service and ambiance were amazing. The quality of the fresh homemade pasta speaks for itself. Whoever we return to New York it will be a definite repeat dining experience!

    Monte’s is our must go spot every trip to NYC. We love it—but the place isn’t for everyone—and that’s a good thing. Lots of regulars and locals and is not a tourist trap spot at all!! When you visit, understand you’re gonna wait a bit even with a reservation. Go to the (small!) bar, get a drink, say hello to folks sitting there. We promise you’ll have fun! Several off menu items to ask about and don’t miss the Chocolate Tartufo for dessert. Enjoy!

    Our waiter was a New York classic - I will cone back just to see him. Food was excellent, ambiance was cozy (like in someone’s home). Spent 3 hours there and could’ve stayed another hour if we didn’t have to catch a flight. Must visit!

    Great pasta at suprisingly reasonable price. Couldn’t seat us until 10 minutes after our reservation time but hard to hold that against them when it was so busy. Would go back and recommend to others.
