“2024 update! They entirely renovated this place, they added a huge outdoor seating with probably over 100 people can sit. Best Kosher Pizza and good crust.

Really friendly. My slice got burned a little so he gave me another one free of charge. What a mench!”

“Love Big Kevs BBQ! Highly recommend this place. Staff is amazing and food is just delicious. Food well done, flavor on point. Thank you guys…”

“Solaia was a pleasant surprise for me on my husband’s birthday last week. He chose this restaurant as his preferred location for his birthday dinner and it was a great choice. The service from the moment we were trying to find the right door to enter through bc it was raining to the moment we received our check it was hand and foot. I appreciated that bc the level and attention to detail of service usually predicates how the rest of the night goes.

Calamari Fritti. 10/10 Simple dish executed very well and you can tell the Calamari was fresh. The squeeze of the lemon wedge on top absolutely took it up a notch. Great appetizer. The spicy tomato sauce that pairs with this is EXCELLENT.

Endive Gorgonzola Insalata. 8/10 I appreciated this salad bc of my time in Belgium when I played professional basketball. The endive is bitter, the Gorgonzola is sour and fatty, the balsamic glaze was sweet as well as the walnuts that added to the texture. My only criticism was I needed another soft delicate lettuce (butter crisp maybe) to compliment the endives and that would’ve made this a 10/10 for me.

Roasted Artichoke Hearts. 10/10 First time really having authentic Italian Artichoke Hearts and I WANT MORE. The way they fanned out the hearts at the end was so aesthetically pleasing. The garlic and oil was robust but it was so good. The stems were more hardier than the delicate tender leaves. I’ve been thinking about this dish since we left.

Mushroom Risotto w Jumbo Shrimp. 10/10 My goodness the mushroom flavor was STRONG and I’m convinced now that I pondered on it a for a few days that they used dried mushrooms and rehydrated them. The rice was perfect Al Dente. I can come back just for this and a glass of wine. Shrimp were so fresh.

Salmon Dish. My husband got the Salmon Pasta dish that he ate with no complaints. I did not taste it like I normally do but next time.

This was a great meal and I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you for a wonderful experience.”

“My husband and I stopped after dinner. He had the Capachino Kahula ice cream and I had the pistachio ice cream. Both were full of flavor from the 1st to the last spoonful. The young man that waited on us was very pleasant and professional. I would definitely give this place a 5 out of 5!”

“We got out of the car and the owner was sweeping the floor right. Well he told us he didn’t have no ribs. But he had that chicken! Boy oh boy was it delicious!! We were treated like family as soon as we walk in. He gave me a sample of their fresh homemade coleslaw and by far best I’ve ever had. We walked out of there with full belly’s and our names on the wall. We will never forget about our experience! Recommend everyone to give it a try who hasn’t!”

“Best meatball I’ve ever eaten!”

“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.”
