    Such a wonderful Italian restauraunt in Merimbula. I've been to Italy, and this is better than most of the bars I've been to in Italy. Yes - you can find a "più autentico" in Italy, but the owner is clearly from Italy and has brought the best of his inspiration to this local area. We will absolutely be back many times in the future. The pepperoni pizza was incredible, and the white wine sauce pasta was perfect, lemon lime bitters perfectly crafted, and so-on. Grazie mille.

    A great night under difficult circumstances. Merimbula was in total blackout when we arrived at Bar Monti. Instead of turning us away they continued as if nothing was wrong. Candles on tables, a limited menu but exceptional service and wonderful food. It was very busy on the night but I think everyone there would have been impressed with the professionalism of this team. We can’t wait to return to try some of the offerings which weren’t available the night we were there.

    Great food and ambience. There was a hiccup with power the night we arrived. Everything was fine in the end with great humour from the waiter.
