Best Cosy Restaurants in Monte Rio

We had an amazing experience. Everyone was helpful. Food and drinks were awesome. We had the best time. Will definitely come back and try more of their wonderful dishes.

We had another stellar meal at Portico. It's one of our favorites. We are greeted warmly on arrival, seating promptly and then await a superlative meal. We started with the Vegetarian Antipasto with luscious crostini with mozzarella and sun dried tomatoes, vegetables and a fennel, orange and olive salad. We always have to have the light, fresh simply gorgeous arugula salad. It does not disappoint. We ordered the classic lasagne bolognese (superbly thin pasta, elegant meat sauce), Tortelloni with a squash stuffing, topped with sage butter (excellent) and the always perfect eggplant parmesan. We were sad to report we could not order a dessert, the chocolate cake in the case was beautiful, the tiramisu is always tempting, but we could not manage another bite last night. Excellent food, nice staff, we love it!

As guests at the Lodge, we thought it would just be an easy place to dine out - but it was the perfect place to celebrate 30 years of marriage. Everyone was so lovely, the view was spectacular -but the food was the star. Thank you so much for being part of our aniversary!

Food delicious. Service excellent. Great cocktails. Nice ambience. Met our expectations.

We had an outstanding server named Meghan, who made our entire dining experience very memorable. She was warm, friendly and had a great sense of humor. The food and ambiance was wonderful, but Meghan took things to a whole new level. We will definitely be coming back and hope Meghan will be there to greet us.
