" Absolutely loved my experience at IL Monello! The food was extraordinary, particularly the handmade pasta and the delightful panna cotta for dessert. The atmosphere was inviting, with warm lighting and Italian music softly playing in the background. Martino, the owner, even stopped by our table to ask how everything was! I can't wait to come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated a special occasion at IL Monello and it was impeccable. The service was attentive and respectful, while the food was full of genuine flavors. The owner made sure to check in with us multiple times, which added a welcoming touch. The only downside was that it got quite busy, so it’s a good idea to book a table in advance. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I visited IL Monello for a weekday dinner. While we enjoyed our meals, the service was a bit slow and we had to wait longer than expected for our drinks. The food was authentic and flavorful, and I loved the outdoor seating space, which was cozy and charming. I believe they could improve on service speed for a better overall experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at IL Monello. While the food was good, I was hoping for a bit more authenticity as some dishes tasted quite Americanized. The service was alright, but we felt a bit rushed due to the high turnover of tables that night. It's a charming place, but I might try a different Italian restaurant next time. Still, the cannoli was delightful! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our large family gathering at IL Monello could not have gone better! From start to finish, the staff was incredibly attentive, providing a delightful evening. The antipasto platter was a hit, and everyone enjoyed their entrees. The portions were quite generous, meaning plenty of leftovers. Martino made sure to check in with us throughout the meal, which added a personal touch to our dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations based on the reviews, and I must say, I wasn't disappointed! The ravioli was delicately filled with flavors that captured genuine Italian cooking. The atmosphere had a cozy yet upscale feel to it. My only critique would be that it got pretty busy, so I recommend making a reservation ahead of time. " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to try IL Monello after hearing raving reviews, and we were not let down! The freshness of the ingredients really stood out in every dish, and I found their approach to Italian cuisine to be refreshing. The service was outstanding, providing a personable touch to our dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)
