My family and I went here for dinner and dessert. Although it was on the expensive side, the food was absolutely amazing. I got the risotto croquettes for dinner and dessert I had the sorbet in two flavors, passion fruit and prickly pear. The employees were also super nice, and helpful with the menu, and the overall ambiance of the restaurant was very classy but relaxed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Monello to celebrate my husband’s retirement. Britney was very attentive and the food was everything we’d hoped it would be. Lovely presentation and divinely inspired flavors that were unique and delicious. Tablecloths would enhance the ambiance, but we loved the absence of obnoxious music and enjoyed the clinking of glasses and the subtleties of people having conversations. 100% recommend for any occasion.

Wonderful restaurant, the food was absolutely fantastic. If you like sushi, start off with the Yellowtail Crudo. The fresh made potato gnocchi was perfect. Finished with the Chocolate Dulcey Mousse tart.

Classy environment with well thought out flavors. Enjoyed the thoughtfulness of birthday celebrations here as well, champagne toast and cute chocolate were a thoughtful touch! Disappointed to hear Monello will be closing.

Went there for lunch on Sunday. It was relaxing and the service was great. Both chicken sandwich and seared tuna sandwich were excellent.

Ian was an excellent host and server. Was abundantly descriptive and brought all the dishes to life along with great pairings for the drink. Seem to honestly enjoy what he does and serve others and that was a real treat. A night out for a birthday for a friend and the boys and he made a rare night out even better.

This is a restaurant that I love. I enjoyed the pre-concert menu, along with exceptional service from Brittany. The double espresso was a good choice to end the meal, providing delicious octane for the concert.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Monello and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the warm and inviting atmosphere of the restaurant, and it only got better from there.
