" Tucked away from the main road, Monjunis is a little treasure offering hearty Italian fare. The garlic bread served with marinara was delightful – perfectly crispy! I enjoyed a rich tomato risotto that was incredibly warm and satisfying. Service was friendly, but I did have to wait a while for my order, so I’d recommend visiting during off-peak times. If you're looking for big flavors in a cozy setting, this might just be your place. " (*Curated Review*)

" We went to Monjunis on a recommendation and weren't disappointed! The sweet marinara sauce could be an acquired taste, but we found it comforting. I had the eggplant rollatini that was deliciously cheesy and came with a good size portion. I must say the ambiance felt very authentic, reminiscent of my travels in Italy. We left satisfied and planning our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I decided to try Monjunis after hearing rave reviews. I have to say, it lived up to our expectations! The lasagna was decadent, with layers of flavor and the perfect texture. Complemented by their sweet red sauce, it was heavenly. Service was attentive, and the ambiance felt homey and warm, which I loved. I can't wait to bring friends here for future visits! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having lived in Rome for a few years, I consider myself a bit of an Italian food snob. Monjunis surprised me with its authenticity! The marinara sauce is incredibly sweet, just like Grandma used to make. The portions are impressively large, ensuring you never leave hungry. I especially enjoyed the Twice Baked Lasagna, which was indulgently cheesy and perfectly cooked. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed evening out with friends. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Monjunis has become my go-to place for Italian food. The red sauce is sweet and unlike what you might find in other places, which I personally enjoy! Their portions are generous, every dish is made with care. However, I would love to see a little more variety on the menu. Overall, definitely recommend it for a comforting Italian meal!

" I appreciate the cozy ambiance at Monjunis; it feels like home! The complimentary bread with marinara is a nice touch – though beware, the red sauce has a notably sweet flavor that can be an acquired taste. I absolutely loved their lasagna! Each layer had its own texture and flavor that blended beautifully. The service was attentive, and the staff really seem to care about your experience. I definitely left full and happy, and I can't wait to try more of their menu on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time at Monjunis and I was impressed! It's a casual little Italian joint that focuses on hearty dishes rather than pretentious dining. The meatballs are noteworthy – incredibly juicy and flavorful! I ordered a meatball sub, and the combination of soft bread, tangy marinara, and delicate cheese was perfect. The waiter was warm and welcoming, adding to the comforting atmosphere. Even the decor gives off an inviting vibe that makes you want to stay longer. I'm looking forward to my next meal here!
