Restaurants in Monticello

“What a wonderful experience tonight! I read a review earlier today that mentioned the Chilean Sea Bass. Hubby had never had that dish and was happy it was a special tonight. I had the mushroom ravioli which was also delicious. We couldn't leave without the almond creme cake and cannoli to finish. We might try to squeeze another visit in during our week up here.”

“Very family orientated and the food is so delicious”

“Fresh authentic Italian! Everyone is treated like family in this small establishment. The wait staff is friendly and knowledgeable. You can’t go wrong with the chefs specials! Save room for an after dinner martini!”

“Yan̈nis has been our favorite go to for years! Always consistent and never disappoints! The staff is always very nice too!”

“The best chicken bacon ranch sandwich in town!!!!!”

“Best meatball I’ve ever eaten!”

“Teriyaki chicken is very good”

“Absolutely the best restaurant in town!”

“Excellent service and delicious food.”

“Up here in upstate New York, this is what we call heritage cuisine. The food of my people. And by that, I mean: Jewish comfort, wrapped in an egg roll, dripping in duck sauce. They did mix up my order once, but I have forgiven them.

It's a little rundown (which we all know is a positive sign) but sadly they do not deliver. There are vegetarian options if you look for them.

Bottom line: It’s greasy, it’s glorious.”

“Best Kosher breakfast I've had since moving to NY last year. Friendly, fast dine in service.”

“Great food, generous portions, and fair prices. I loved that the food wasn’t greasy and tastes homemade. The place is decorated really nice, is clean, and the service is quick with friendly staff. I recommend the pork pineapple tacos 😋”

“We were there twice once last nite for Dinner June 29th and June 30th for breakfast. Both times the food was good and the staff were very friendly.”

“I have never been to a restaurant that has as many items on their menu and everything I've eaten has been exceptional. I would give the food and service 10 stars if I could. The prices are excellent as well. I would happily pay more money for the quality of food this restaurant has.”

“The best quesadillas around hands down, my go to order is a steak quesadilla on a handmade tortilla and the flavor and crunch is fabulous, their tacos are solid and so are the Aguas ”

“Awesome bakery, authentic and as good as it gets. A remark, however on the apple and blueberry turnover:: Barely any fruit inside, like a thin schmear of jam. Totally wrong fruit to pastry ratio, I ended up not eating as the pastry shell was also bready. But the rest of my selection was so good, still 5-Star overall on this last visit. Turnovera aside, got a nice bag of goodies for $20, great by weight and taste!”

“It is weird but I stopped eating bagels because (to put it nicely) they stopped me up. Monticello Bagels does not do that. Next: Their everything bagel does not seem SUPER SALTY like everywhere else. Next: They have gotten a little smaller over the years. I would love if they put them back to the size they were 7 years ago. Next: The breakfast sandwiches are great.. The tuna on bagel is good. Next: I think they don't put enough lox spread or cream cheese. I like it to be more than a thick smear. People say he has the best coffee. I believe LaChula in Liberty Mall has the best Columbian Coffee. OVERALL: I 💘 MONTICELLO BAGELS. I have been going here for about 20 years. When I lived in NYC area, I used to come up house hunting in Livingston Manor & would stop here. I don't live so close anymore but everytime I am in the area, I usually stop by. I now have a gluten allergy & still consume one anyway. I always get mine toasted & to date I haven't found a better bagel in NYS.”

“I recommend Giovanni's. when I was a young child and in to my teenage and young adult years my father use to take me there every week and I enjoyed each time we went their they have the best staff they are friendly and they highly believe in customer service”

“Beautiful Owner and Shop Keeper! Phenomenal Fresh Food, Fantastic Service, Pleasant Atmosphere”

“Best place to eat around! Delicious!”

“Stopped by yesterday and loaded up on our way back to Maine. People were very nice. Bought rainbow cookies, ruggalah, opinion pockets, challah, etc. Just amazing. The best heimishe bakery of all time!”

“UPDATE: I cannot stress this enough, GET THE CHICKEN PLATTER!! Seriously amazing stuff here. Monticello needed a place like this!

Friendly staff, amazing fries, and the best chicken sandwich in town. Some of the best dipping sauce I've ever had, and the fry seasoning is seriously good. Give this place a try and you'll WISH you came sooner.”

“I was at Kartrite water resort with the family, and whenever you stay at these resorts, they hold you hostage with poor quality food. Nelly's is only 5 minutes away. This place has soul; the food is great with authentic dishes, the prices are budget friendly, the staff are nice, and the atmosphere is clean and casual. We need to support these privately owned ma and pop establishments. Or the only thing that will be left is a BK or Wendy's on ever corner.”

“Good service, delicious food & yummy deserts! Defiantly recommend them 💯🇲🇽💙”

“My BF and I went to Catskills casino and Cellaio was there. We decided to give it a try for my b-day and it is amazing. The staff was great. Food was great. I recommend it. We will definitely b back”

“Awesome experience and spectacular food.”

“Really great folks & best cookies! I think everything they make is good!! Shop Local and support our community-Local legend & always worth it!!! Good job y’all @DeFilipis Bakery in Monticello. Xo. -B&k9z”

“The fried chicken was on point . We wanted to try to the bougey viet place next door but I saw 5 tables still waiting and service appeared slow. Maybe that's their motif but I like the buffets no nonsense hurry up and buy pace . This buffet had all the pace and fried chicken to satiate any country or urban dweller. Also they had water melon . I like fried chicken and watermelon.”

“As I was trying to enjoy my dinner with friends, two tables away someone was on the speaker phone for 20 mins speaking loudly. Then the other party was playing music videos loudly from there phone. So I made the best of it. I ate half my food and took a to go bag. I been here before and I never experienced this kind of unethical decorum. The work staff were great as always.”

“I'm so happy to be the 690th reviewer of this place. My partner and I were driving from New York City back Upstate and we needed a quick place to grab delicious food that wasn't a chain restaurant. We love going to local spots.

We were so lucky to catch this place as it was closing. The pizza is fantastic (I'm writing this review with a slice in my mouth!) and Laz really took great care of us. Not only was he super kind, but his energy was amazing and he really made our night.

Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality. You gotta check this place out!”

“Best kosher pizza in Monticello!! ???

Very quick service too. I walked in to order a pie pizza, and literally walked out around 3 minutes later with the pie in my hands, even though the store was quite busy then.”

“The store has a new owner this summer. My wife and I came with modest expectations. But the food was fantastic. Fresh ingredients and tasty. This is not a pizza store. It’s like a cafe with sour dough pizza. Salads were amazing. Came back again later that week with rest of the family. HIGHLY RECOMMEND”

“Love KFC. Eat it all day everyday 😂”
