Walking down the busy October Prince street, and seen this restaurant, I'm a visual person, it looked so quaint and cozy, and welcoming. And had room at the Bar! So we stopped in, bar tender was awesome, made delicious drinks, good conversation and amazing apps. So good we went back for Dinner, again sat at bar ( we did not have reservations) but it was the same bartender so we said heck yeah! Food did not disappoint, best chicken parm ever, meatballs were incredible, and drinks...read full review
Great food, excellent service, awesome location. We tried the sweet potato gnocchi. The food was as good as it is in Italy.
we sat at the bar . Atmosphere was lively. The cocktails were great the bar staff was helpful and friendly and the drinks were delicious. They had some really good appetizers on the main menu and specials as well we tried 2 both were delicious and appropriately sized as appetizers so you could still eat a meal later which I greatly appreciate.

Monica's Trattoria offers a wonderful dining experience with a friendly atmosphere, delicious food, and attentive service. Recently, there have been many positive changes, including more space for guests to enjoy the incredible food. The frutti di mare, a classic dish, is still praised for its perfect execution, featuring a simple red sauce and an abundance of mussels, little necks, and shrimp. The ravioli, made with fresh homemade pasta, are still described as "pillows of cheese," and the carbonara continues to be noted for its great flavor. Customers often enjoy the high-quality Italian cuisine, with some stating it is the "best food of the trip."
The food remains consistently excellent, with many praising the flavor. Some guests have noted the pasta can be a little thick. The service is noted to be excellent, with attentive staff who are sweet without being overbearing. Positive feedback mentions the new open kitchen, where fresh pasta is prepared. However, there have been concerns about the noise from dishes clanking, with the atmosphere sometimes feeling cramped and loud, making it hard to hear at the table. While some guests have expressed issues with long wait times for their food, overall, Monica's Trattoria is still a favorite spot for authentic and exceptional Italian dining. Feedback suggests that addressing service details could further enhance the experience, but many are eager to return, enjoying dishes like Scampi Con Fettuccine and pesto fucilli, and appreciating the setting for both families and date nights.
