    Our server completely ignored our table. We waited 15 minutes for a refill on our drinks. Finished our meals before drinks were refilled. Attempted to get his attention several times and he walked away. Very disappointed that gratuity was added and was not earned or deserved.

    Such a charming Italian restaurant in the village. We come here when we can on our visits to NYC. Great neighborhood- casual vibe and cozy bar. Unique Italian food plus common entrees. We love that scungilli is always on the menu- a rare find! Calamari is delicious- never chewy and lightly breaded. Nice wine selection and reasonably priced. Can’t wait for our next visit!

    Comfortable West Village eatery with a warm and friendly vibe. Food is like your Auntie’s cooking not from the latest Eater’s list.

    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!

    We always make Monte’s apart of our holiday trip to NYC from Pittsburgh. It’s been about 5 yrs since my husband and I found this place on one of the snowiest nights. The only ppl in the places was Peter and his family. They welcomed us in like we were family. The food is delicious and the owners and staff amazing.
