So, to begin with. When you see the place from a street, it is not the first choice to swing by, yet when you peek through the window, you'll see an open kitchen with food being cooked nonstop, a hood sign.Inside the place seems a bit crowded, yet you could probably squeeze 8n at the bar if you ask nicely even if you don't have reservation :)And now the food, fantastic italian cusine - the pasta is appropriately aldente, tomato sauce is fantastic, the beef carpaccio blows you away.And in the end you feel guilty if you miss the dessert.I would definitely recommend making a reservation and arrive hungry.Parking in a garage nearby is plenty.

As usual, the food is outstanding. We were ahead of the theater crowd so our food was served promptly. Take advantage of the Happy Hour specials. Maybe we were positioned at a corner table so the crowd sound was bouncing off the walls, but we ended up shouting at each other. I have no idea how the waitstaff heard us other than to read lips. We have eaten here a number of times and never had this experience before.

We went for our anniversary and ordered the "brick chicken", can't remember the Italian name but it is DELICIOUS. We have been to Montecatini's several times and the service, food and ambiance is FANTASTIC !! We love Montecatini's, if you have never been -- go ! You will not be disappointed.

Great food. I ordered scallops. There were perfectly seared, tender and moist. Nicely prepared fresh vegetables, broccoli was nice bright color, not over cooked. My partner had steak, he was very satisfied with his choice as well. A good, freshly prepared traditional meal.

Food was really delicious. Absolutely outstanding. So was the service. We were going to the theater after and they were very sensitive to our time constraints. However, the noise level was super loud, which is a big negative when you wear hearing aids like my husband and I do.

We made reservations and came for Valentine's Day and also our 1 year wedding anniversary and it was an amazing experience. They handed me a rose for Valentine's Day and sprinkled some really cute heart shaped glitter on the table for us (I think for our anniversary, it was a really sweet touch). We got a mocktail and the minestrone soup to start, which were both really Delicious. Then, we got the Ciopinno and Gamberi scampi which both did not disappoint. The staff were friendly and helpful the entire way through as well. We ended with tiramisu which is house made and absolutely incredible, and a latte and tea. The ambience in this restaurant felt very European and I really enjoyed it.

The service was very good, attentive and they knew the menu and wine list. The food was some of the best Italian cuisine I've found in the area. I would highly recommend and will be back.

It only has 1 medium room. It can get loud at times. Entrees were a bit pricey but the happy hour apps were great. Gnocchi was a bit under seasoned but otherwise everything tastes amazing. Perfect balance of oils and acids, sauce to meat to veg ratio. Scallops were cooked to perfection.

All I can say is WOOOOW!! I can here with co workers (5) and we all ordered and shared. I had veal Parmigiano...delicious!Another co worker had scallops, ravioli, spicy spaghetti,chicken piccata, and I one more dish that slips my mind, but it was delicious! Lol This is some of the best Italian food I have tasted in a while! And everyone that worked there was amazing! I could not have asked for a better experience! I will be back!Parking: I parked in the parking lot down a little ways from the restaurant. I paid $5 from 8pm to midnight. Street parking is free if you can find it

One of my favorite Italian restaurants! My only complaint is that the restaurant is rather loud, so if you want a quiet place then this isn’t the place to go. However, if you don’t mind a little bustle (and no sound dampening add-ons) the food is definitely worth it.

What an amazing dinner experience we had. We made reservations on a Saturday night but got there early and we were able to be accommodated. It was crowded, busy and hopping with happy people. The Frontoint man was the BEST!! His communication and friendliness were great!! Once seated we were greeted with water and bread and asked if we'd like a drink. Our meal was delicious as were our drinks and dessert. Stuff was friendly and prompt. We'll be going back!! 5⭐️
