I'm not one to leave bad reviews, but this place earned it.
So we were seated promptly and waited on quickly A+.
Food came out quickly appetizers were decent, but small C+.
Now the food... we ordered 2 burgers, a ravioli dish, and a Cuban sandwich. The burgers are pre packaged patties and taste like they were microwaved (if you can't make a good burger you shouldn't be cooking), the Cuban sandwich was just covered in mustard, it ruined the meat and the meal. The ravioli seemed to be maybe 1/2 or 2/3 of a portion, which seemed odd at the price point, but it was ok. Food: F.
Also, the beer was flat...
Another great itialian place.
We had a fantastic experience tonight, thanks to our server, Regan. The environment was incredibly welcoming, and Regan's positive attitude made it even better. She was always there with a smile, ready to help with recommendations and ensure we had everything we needed. The service was prompt and attentive without being intrusive. Her exceptional service significantly enhanced our dining experience. I highly recommend this place, and I hope you're lucky enough to have Regan as your server!
My mom's chicken had what could be described as a large mushy glob of chicken (about the size of a softball) mixed in with the other normal bite-sized chicken slices. Other than that, the food was great, lol. It took a while to get our waitress in order to get the check, then it took a while to bring the check, and then we got another waitress to bring the check. While the second one was getting our check, our original waitress arrived thankfully with our check. And other than that, our waitress was great, lol. Sorry so long.
The food is so good. Our waiter was a very nice guy!
Owners are real POS save your money go to olive garden
I have gone to Monelli's often but no more as the friends I go with will also no longer be going. The manager is rude and defensive. Last week I ordered the Vodka Penne which I have gotten several times before. This time it was not even the same dish it was Mac and cheese sauce with penne pasta the correct sauce is white not a bright yellow and american style cheesy like this was as well there were red pepper flakes sprinkled throughout the dish which are not an ingredient in the correct dish. I ate it because we were on a time constraint and I did not want to take the time to return it. The food was okay just not at all what I ordered and later that day I had stomach cramps from the red pepper flakes I like spicy food but there was too much. Last month I ordered the Penne Con Pollo without the chicken, it was supposed to come with sundried tomatoes and pine nuts which it did not and I had to ask the server to bring these ingredients. Today I spoke with the manager first he cut me off and tried to tell me it was impossible for me to get the mac and cheese style penne because they have no dish like that. He told me he couldn't do anything now after the fact. I explained I was not asking for any compensation I thought I would let him know because he might want to follow up with the kitchen. He was very defensive trying to make me feel like it was my fault because I didn't say anything to the server. He did not even apologize and I felt his attitude was rude and he thought I was wasting his time.
ent for dinner tonight as we have many many times. When we asked the manager if the virgin Bloody Mary was the same price as the regular he replied with “yep!” However my wife was not so sure she received a virgin blood Mary. He said “you should be able to taste the difference.” She typically cannot. She said that she was going to be pissed if there was alcohol in it as our check did not show this. He replied with “I’m sorry you feel that way.” This is the most uncaring response I’ve ever gotten from a restaurant manager. We have been many times and this is one of our favorite spots…..not anymore. He took no ownership at all and offered no apologies. Worst service I’ve ever received outside of Texas Corners Brewing Company. This was a concern because my wife is pregnant and this manager didn’t have a care in the world about that. The service we received from the waitress during this visit was also atrocious. Having to remind her numerous times about drinks and what we ordered because she chose not to write it down. We won’t be back!
The staff is very friendly, the waitresses are very kind, they serve you very well, they are attentive at your table. I recommend this restaurant, the food was very delicious, honestly everything was great.

I forget this place is more than a beer and a pizza joint. Today I was totally reminded with the weekly special. Smoked Brisket Ravioli smoked and rolled on sight was definitely evidence that Monellis is an Italian eatery too. Outstanding homemade pasta with a delicious cream sauce which I highly recommend. All 7 of my compadres had hot subs, which looked really good. But when I engaged my pasta I immediately looked at their subs and my pasta and thought “suckers!”

Their bone in wings rock with the boom boom sauce. And their brisket ravioli special needs to be added to their regular menu. The brandy cream sauce that comes with the brisket ravioli puts it on another level of perfection!
