WOW! First time here, truly a lovely place with unique and delicious flavors. It is dining experience, restaurant is very pretty, would be great for a romantic meal. Excellent service as well
Order the Pinsa! It is Delicious, light and crispy. My favorite is the Pinsa Tormarancia, but all of them are fabulous! As appetizer try the Supplì oppure il Polpo grigliato, both excellent

The four of us went out on Friday night and sat outside under the heat lamps. It was plenty warm in our jackets and the wait staff was excellent and super attentive. The highlights were two of the four famous pastas from Rome. We chose Cacio y Pepe and Amatriciana and both were simply delicious. Also the VEAL CHOP was fabulous and huge although the price surprised us, in fairness it could have easily served the four of us. Well done Montesacro and the PINSA was fantastic as well.

The food was delicious a cozy environment, and it was very crowded for the small space, which made it difficult to hear everyone at the table talk. I like the energy, just wish it was easier to hear. Our waitress was attentive.

We had a wonderful wknd dining experience with friendly waiter and wonderful array of Italian dishes brussels, pulpo, pizza for apps and tasty mains of carbonara, pork chop and black pepper pasta topped off with three desserts ?

Great location and food. Would be all 5 stars if they added another server for Sunday lunch/brunch. Lone server was great but handling the entire dining room by himself looked to be a challenge. A young female was filling water bottles and set up a few tables but didn't seem to be working up a sweat. We'll definitely go back for the food and location but our dining expectations will be lower.
We had a great dinner here. Authentic Italian food that was incredible and reminded us of our trip to Italy! It's a little small so we were sat very close to other patrons but honestly that didn't matter - the food & service was so good! We will definitely be back!

The pinsas are very tasty as are the 3 traditional pastas they serve, which do make you feel like you are in Rome. The wine selections and cocktails are great, and the overall dining experience for two couples was really fun and enjoyable!

Our server (woman) just wasn't friendly and we waited a really long time just to order. We kind of felt like a bother, with no special requests or questions. Not our usual experience here. Hoping it's just a one-off.

The food here is very good. Generally Roman style pizza and sides, nicely prepared. The server here is our favorite - very attentive , efficient and friendly. Would recommend for Lunch or Dinner.
I love the food here. Did not know they have a lunch special during the week, 1 salad and 1 pasta or pinsa (specific salad and pinsa only) for $25. This is a great deal, both are full sized portions. The service was excellent as always. It was very slow when we were there, it was 1pm on a Monday. Usually they are pretty busy when we've been there before, it was just a sleepy day/time to go.

Best Pizza outside of Rome! Their Montesacro version is a masterpiece w potatoes, lamb sausage, mushrooms and buffalo mozarella. For an appetizer try the pomegranate brussel sprouts. Chefs kiss! We will be back.

We had the pizza and it was like being transported off to Italy. The crust was out of this world. A friend said that everything about the avocado toast was perfect, and she's a chef! The staff is very friendly and the service just right.

We had a wonderful evening and enjoyed the food!! But our table was not to be enjoyed - !! I understand about business but there are two tables one so close to the door its unreal that should NEVER be used for reservations!!!!!!!!!!!! In fact they should not be on the floor! It made us SAD --- especially since we had the reservation for over a week! Thanks-!

Wow this place is amazing. We had incredible attentive service and the food and wine selection was incredible. We had a pasta dish and pizza that tasted like we had in Italy. I really wish they had a location in San Diego where we live!
