Best Authentic Restaurants in Montbello

Best chicken marsala dish of any restaurant! Perfectly seasoned and cooked with a delicious sauce; also had excellent sides with it--broccolini and roasted potatoes. Pizza was excellent as well. 2nd time here and will definitely be back!

Benzina is phenomenal. The restaurant is housed in a converted auto-body garage. The windows are still garage doors. The interior is really cool because the style is like a mid-century modern 70’s Italian design. The kitchen is completely open and at the center of the restaurant so you can see the cooks working their magic. I preferred sitting at the counter because you could watch your food being prepared. Lastly, the food was delectable. I honestly think the pizza was the tastiest I’ve ever had. I like this place very much.

Bistro Vendome turned out to be the ideal place for my wife and I to spend Valentine’s Day, which was as well our 49th wedding anniversary. The decor is charming and of course reminded us of Paris. The staff are friendly and sophisticated and the service was superb and timely. I enjoyed the French onion soup and the Coq au vin and my wife had the trout with a wonderful cucumber salad . I highly recommend the wine selection and of course to top things off they have a dessert treat called the chocolate bomb, which was a delicious and fitting end to a great dinner in a place with lively atmosphere.

Cattivella provided me and my partner with a fantastic dining experience this Valentines. While most restaurants were booked, I was fortunate enough to find this place with an open reservation for 5pm and we took it - we couldn’t be happier with our choice. The dining room and atmosphere is upscale but casual, and seating is arranged in a way that allows you to be comfortable regardless of where you’re placed or who’s around. The service is even better - our server specifically was quick, attentive, and answered any questions we had about the food, drinks, and desserts effortlessly. Additionally, both our food and drinks arrived very quickly. Speaking of food and drinks, everything was AMAZING! My partner had some wine and I had the grapefruit cocktail, which was sweet and hit just the right spot as someone who prefers sweeter cocktails. In terms of food, my partner got the Trenette and I got the Lamb Ragu. I can’t attest to the Trenette but from what I tried it was delivious, but the Lamb Ragu? Oh my gosh. That is one of the best pasta dishes I’ve had in my life. Super savory flavors and some of the most tender lamb - let alone meat - that I’ve ever had. All in all, Cattivella provides diners with an elegant dining experience in every regard, and I can guarantee that my partner and I will be back. Thanks for an awesome Valentines!

Food was outstanding and the Service was great. Try the apps Coconut Shrimp and Chilli Chicken. The Chicken Vindaloo is nice and spicy!
