    Fantastic place! Reserved a table for two but ended up showing up with four - called ahead and was told no problem at all. Greeted by a wonderful and friendly hostess and then seated by our outstanding server. Everything during the evening was wonderful and we were so pleased by the food selections. Everyone at the table raved about the food and left nothing on their plates at the end. All waitstaff was very attentive and we never felt rushed during our 2 1/2 hour dinner. Was a wonderful place to enjoy the company we were in and to have outstanding and delicious food provided by a very friendly staff. Thank you! Highly recommend the sea bass!

    Our guests raved about the food. The shrimp in the shrimp cocktail were huge. The service and the ambiance were also great. We will certainly go back.

    Always a consistent excellent option in Midtown East. A nice diverse menu with Italian classics that goes beyond "red sauce"options. Food and service is top notch and why a choice I consider when entertaining. In addition I needed a restaurant w/ a quiet atmosphere as multiple guests in the party have hearing loss and/or have hearing aids. Thus Il Monello is a great option as the restaurant skews towards fine dining yet casual. While not library quiet it still allows conversation at a normal volume even as a large table for 6. A neighborhood gem that should be sought out.

    We had a delicious dinner at the wonderful neighborhood spot. We are here about a year ago, but forgot the name and the exact location. Last night, we rediscovered it. Like all the other 5 star reviews, we were not disappointed. Food, service and ambiance were all spot on. The cocktails were perfect. We are now planning a large family dinner in the next few weeks. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
