" I went to IL Monello for a friend's birthday dinner, and it was a splendid evening. The food is authentic, from the appetizers to the freshly made pasta. The service was impeccable and the chef came to our table to check on us, which was a nice touch. I would recommend the chicken marsala; it was delightful! The ambiance was perfect for our celebration. I will undoubtedly return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have visited IL Monello several times and have always had a great experience. The only drawback was that one time, my pasta was slightly overcooked, but the server quickly resolved the issue and offered us a complimentary dessert. The ambiance is romantic, perfect for a date night, and the staff is always so friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend the arancini as a starter! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a good meal at IL Monello but was slightly taken aback by the service. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was nice but waited longer than expected for our orders despite not being too busy. It’s definitely still worth visiting for the amazing pasta dishes and fresh ingredients. " (*Curated Review*)

" We often choose IL Monello for family gatherings because of the consistent quality of service and food. The staff bends over backward to accommodate our needs, especially when we have young kids. The classic items like lasagna and tiramisu are among the best we've ever had, and they always go fast! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very impressed with the attentive service at IL Monello, and the food was heavenly! I especially enjoyed the fresh seafood options on the specials menu. The owner was very personable and made us feel special. However, I felt that the dessert options were a little limited, but what we had was delicious. Looking forward to visiting again.

" 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*)
