"The owner, Martino, has created a beautiful enviorment with wonderful food and high quality service. Il Monellos is my all-time favorite restaurant, and I would give it more than 5 stars if I could."

"3 couples celebrating 3 birthdays on a cold November Saturday early evening. Owner seated us in one of the small dining rooms with a fireplace roaring.. already perfect. Owner conversed congenially...we told him about birthdays...waiter arrived with water and proceeded to slice slivers of Romano cheese from a gigantic ball he had brought to the table. We ordered various dishes among us, and shared tastes with each other. Everything was delicious from the black pasta to the tuna to the ravioli to the wild boar. 3 desserts had 3 candles placed in them and the ownwer and waiters sang happy birthday with their great Italian accents (owner's voice is exceptional!)... overall experience..food, atmosphere, service...just perfect. Recommendations..if you are in a hurry..this is not your place..if you want excellent Italian food in a cozy atmopshere on a cold Winter's evening..then go early and enjoy."
