"Had a delicious dinner at il Monello tonight! The restaurant is so cute, in a house that feels cozy and like you’re eating a home cooked meal. We enjoyed the meatballs and artichoke appetizers, and for dinner, linguine Monello and chicken scarpiello. The tiramisu was great. Everything was amazing! We are staying at the hotel nearby and would definitely recommend it to anyone in the area. The service was great and everyone was so friendly and kind. Can’t wait to come back!"

I just tasted a piece of heaven!!! If that’s not ART, what is?!__IL Monello is a rare gem and my husband "

"Love this place! I’ve been here 5 times and all of them were 5 stars. The food and service are outstanding. Great for date night. When the weather is nice, they have a beautiful patio for eating outside. The only knock on it is that sometimes it’s a little quiet inside, which can make you feel like you’re the only ones in the restaurant."

"Immaculately prepared and absolutely delicious food. Chicago has some Italian restaurants that I like, however, nothing holds a candle compared to the food at IL Monello.
Each dish was an amazing experience for flavor, texture, and smell. From the appetizer to the dessert, the entire meal was a feast for all the senses.
Unfortunately, our order was slightly delayed compared to our neighbors despite us ordering first. However, this was rectified with a complimentary wine for the table. So service was very good to us that night!
Would come again whenever Mendham reappears in the flight itinerary."

"We had our company Holiday party here and must say the meals were amazing. Try the calamari, the penne vodka and chicken francese...generous tasteful portions, definitely coming back."
