Monterosso's Italian Restaurant

This is a unique Italian restaurant. Dine in a vintage train car. Good selection of wine. The food was very good.

Very nice and authentic cuisine. Staff was perfectly on point. Would recommend.

Had an awesome dinner and experience there.

Neat little local gem. Always good food and good service.

We had a good time. The food was good, loved the train. The service was awesome.

Great food and service. It's a train car, so no more than four per table. We had large group and split was just fine with us!

drinks took forever and other people got their food before us when we were there first. Super loud and food really sucke. Felt like store bought food

My family came here after my sister got married & the server was attentive & friendly. The food took awhile, but was freshly made & tasted good. They provided 3 small pieces of random breads with olive oil & balsamic, but you had the purchase soup/salad separately. The ambience of the train setting is beautiful & romantic. We were lucky to get in without a reservation, so I’d recommend making one before visiting.

What a fun experience! The history of the dining car is a quick and interesting read. The atmosphere is nostalgic, bringing you back to a time past. The service was friendly and helpful, and the filet mignon was amazing! Highly recommend a night out with someone you love.

Wheelchair accessibility: It would be difficult/impossible for wheelchair access, as the restaurant is located in a train dining car.

My partner and I went to dine at the restaurant after so many people recommended this place for our Anniversary. Food start off okay. Bread and a salad but the main course came omg! I was at my seat finishing my salad and can smell from the kitchen 50 feet away, a very pungent smell of bad seafood. Bad crab or fish meat… weird because it was just me and my partner dinning. He order pork protein and I order fettuccine pasta with prawn. I was hoping that it wasn’t my food. Then once my food came out I can smell the foul smell of bad seafood. As if they rinsed it trying to take out the smell.
I didn’t want to be rude since I was out for dinner for our Anniversary and my man was trying to set something nice for me and him. I still tried the prawn and after OMG ? I couldn’t continue. The “taste and smell” smh had to call the waitress and explain that the seafood is very awful and spoiled even after they coated with fettuccine noodle and cream sauce! We still end up paying $97 after the pasta was taken out.

My disappointment was with the chef!! How did you try and push that pasta dish past the kitchen and on to the floor? Knowing that the seafood was spoiled and tried and coat it with cream sauce!!

We still try and make the best of it because it’s our first anniversary. I’m not a picky eater and even if the food is nasty or bland at other places I never complain but spoiled food and especially seafood smh HUG DISAPPOINTMENT and coming from hospitality I couldn’t believe it. I end up throwing up ten mins later.

Prior career working along side executive chefs, this went against health code.

Will never go back!

The introduction to my meal was very pleasant with warm soft bread unlike any I’ve tried before. The darker of the two had a faint taste of red wine cooked into that bread giving a sweet unexpected aroma and flavor. The lighter breadstick was delightfully soft with aromatic garlic, flaky salt and herbs complimenting eachother perfectly. The citrus house made balsamic vinegar alongside this pristine olive oil was quite the addition to these baked specialties.

Monterosso’s Bruschetta, had the most endearing first bite of crusty bruschetta bread full of intertwining flavors. The sweetness of molasses mixed alongside the fresh creaminess of their house made mazzarella. With a healthy amount of basil and their elegant diced Roma tomatoes. It’s savory sweet creamy deliciousness with an aromatic flair from the basil and their freshly ground black pepper over the top. Truly a refreshing start to any meal.

The pork cheek is so tender it falls apart at the slightest touch with a deep porky flavor. Paired alongside a deliciousy creamy, savory entanglement of black garlic, truffle infused oil cream sauce. This meal makes leftovers seem hard to fathom as you’ll struggle to resist another bite. Delicious all around. 100/10

The tirimasu was a deliciously creamy coffee, lightly chocolaty specialty that I became lost in before remembering to describe its taste here. Quite a finishing treat having all these tasty flavors meld into one nap inducing combo of pure sweet enjoyment. For one of the best examples of Italian cuisine in all of the tricities. Come try Monterosso’s!! I will certainly be back myself.

My wife and I loved the decor and setup, kinda small, but great for a romantic dinner. We both got the pork dishes, pork cheek was very tender and flavorful... For appetizer we got the Bruschetta, absolutely amazing. All were good size portions and server was very good at her job.
