" Every time I visit Monelli's, I am consistently pleased. The variety on their menu means there's always something new to try. This time I enjoyed the buffalo chicken dip as an appetizer—perfectly spicy! For my main, I chose a delicious pasta dish that was filling and flavorful. I love that the restaurant offers both a quiet dining area and a livelier sports bar section. It's great for any occasion! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to Monelli's, and I was impressed! I expected just a typical sports bar vibe, but the Italian dishes were delightful! The garlic dip for the bread is a must-try! I ordered the buffalo chicken dip as an appetizer and it was flavor-packed. The rigatoni al forno for my main course was cheesy and hearty. My only downside was the noise level, but that’s expected for a busy sports bar. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an unexpectedly amazing dinner at Monelli's! We started with arancini which were crispy and flavorful. I moved on to the lobster fettuccine for my main, and it was heavenly! The portions were generous, and the flavors were exquisite. The atmosphere was cozy yet lively, perfect for a dinner out. I'm already planning my next visit and bringing friends along! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience at Monelli's! From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming. The food was excellent—our sampler platter was a hit, and their calamari is among the best I've had! I enjoyed a classic spaghetti dish that was flavorful. The overall setting is nicely divided between a bar and dining area, giving it a unique appeal. Highly recommended for a fun night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" We were searching for a place after a long day of activities and stumbled upon Monelli's. The sports bar setting was perfect, as we enjoyed the games on tv while munching on their famous pizza. The crust had a great, crispy texture and the toppings were generous. I just loved the atmosphere, and the service was quick. I'd recommend this place if you’re looking for good food in a vibrant setting! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard good things about Monelli's and decided to try it for dinner. The menu had a nice variety, but I found the meal I ordered—shrimp fettuccine—to be lacking in flavor. On the upside, our server was very attentive and made helpful suggestions. I'd still consider trying another dish next time, as many reviews I've read seem really positive. " (*Curated Review*)

" Monelli's is a wonderful option for casual dining. The ambiance is lively but not overly noisy. Their pasta dishes never disappoint—rich and creamy every time! I love their outdoor seating when the weather is nice. Service was exceptional and I appreciated how attentive my waiter was. Overall a great experience, and I will definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
