    This is a classic, small, very family feeling Italian restaurant with great food, great prices, good and fast service. Judging by all the photos on the wall, it’s been a very popular go to Restaurant for many decades.

    Always good, reliable and fun. There’s only one Monte’s, a Village landmark.

    A small and quiet restaurant with amazing, real Italian food. Not as pricy as other restaurants in this area. Baked manicotti and tortellini were fantastic. My partner also really enjoyed a glass of a very good red wine. However, the service was subpar. Especially during a slow night like this, the wait stuff was not paying any attention and barely checked in on us. My partner and I are both servers in NYC. This is not what usual service looks like in other restaurants especially in ones that are highly advertised and popular.

    Not a good value. Food portions were way too small for the cost of the meal and we all actually left still hungry. Will not return.

    If I tell how fabulous the food is, it will just make it harder for me to get in next time. So why would I tell anyone that they make the best baked clams in the city? Or the veal chop smothered in peppers is to die for the fact I have been coming here for over thirty years and the quality hasn’t changed shouldn’t influence anyone to go to Montes so do me a favor and go somewhere else

    Food was generally very good, except for the house salad, which consisted of 95% romaine lettuce and a few bits of carrot and tomato. The baby artichoke appetizer and the veal chop Milanese were excellent, as were the pasta dishes. Service was a bit slow on a busy Saturday night, when every table on both levels were taken. Noise level upstairs was good.
