    Absolutely outstanding! We were looking for a decent pizza and Bar Monti delivered so much more than we expected. The pizzas were the best I can remember having, better than many award-winning places I've been to. Beautiful crusts, excellent toppings, cooked to perfection. 10/10. The rest of the meal was also excellent. I'm not sure how Sicilians would feel about savory cannoli, but they were delicious! And the rigatoni with lamb ragu was wonderful as well. The decor and ambience are exactly what you'd want from a classy Italian restaurant. I can't say enough good things about this place!

    We came on Friday night, and it was so good we canceled our reservation for another restaurant on Saturday, and booked Bar Monti again! The food was so beautiful and the team friendly. I haven’t been this impressed with a dining experience for a long time. Thank you!

    Bloody fabulous.... The food at Bar Monti is just delicious. The pasta was so fresh it just melts in your mouth. We had one of the pasta specials and the lamb ragu as well. Both were so good we just couldn't stop eating. We also had the chocolate mousse for dessert which was rich, velvety and just yum.

    Absolutely incredible food! We visited Monti two nights in a row and ordered 6 different items from the menu, each one consistently delicious and unique. I highly recommend Monti to anyone visiting Merimbula looking for a meal to remember.

    We found most of the food much too rich - entrees and mains. Service was excellent - they all went above and beyond. Ambience was lovely - a good vibe even on a Monday night. If the food was less rich and more light and fresh, we’d be back in a flash.

    Food and service was amazing. I took my friend for a birthday dinner and it was perfect. We sat outside on a table for 2 and enjoyed a few entrees, mains to share and a few glasses of wine. The food is authentic Italian and the service is very friendly. You won’t be disappointed!

    The food was great as was the service. The noise level was very high which detracted from the dining experience
