About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
Monello Cucina is the contemporary expression of coastal Italian fare. Our restaurant celebrates the cuisine of the Campania region, one that weaves the charm of rustic simplicity with the inherent elegance of fresh ingredients. An extensive wine list and exceptional cocktail program—complete with a house made limoncello—complements a menu that pushes boundaries even as it seeks to preserve tradition. The warm, inviting dining room showcases the graceful style of the region while the approachable staff works to anticipate the diner’s every need.

Executive Chef Mike “YC” DeCamp has created a menu for Monello that features cuisine from the Campania region of Italy. Our menu celebrates the abundance of the farmer’s field and the fisherman’s boat. Standards like fresh pasta and panzanella are offered alongside more adventurous choices, including a razor clam crudo and whole fish for sharing.

    We were expecting the same menu as when we were there the previous time, which was a Sunday. On Sunday, evidently they have a different menu with the items we were hoping to eat again there. Chicken piccata etc. So we were disappointed at the differences in selections. The pasta we had included breaded shrimp in a very light and tasteless sauce. Octopus, beef tenderloin and salad were good.

    My husband and I dined here for our 5 year wedding anniversary. Our server, Alex, did an awesome job keeping up but not going too fast with our chefs tasting and wine pairing. He was also super knowledgeable about the food and wine and how they compliment each other. And the food and wine were delicious! 100% would recommend!

    This could be a great restaurant if they fix their mouse problem.

    Absolutely terrible. Portions are really, really small and the prices are way too high. 6 of us went for a business dinner. $340 with one glass of beer/wine each. We stopped at another restaurant on the way back to our hotel because we were all still hungry. RUN AWAY from this place. Total ripoff.

    Mama DeCampo's at Monello, a delightful Sunday Italian supper including red gravy! On Sundays, Monello scoots the regular menu aside and goes old-school Italian down to red checkered table cloths! Classic Italian dishes like chicken parmesan or piccata, accompanied by a delicious chopped Italian salad and warm garlic bread, plus a side of spaghetti with red sauce and to top it off, homemade cannolis for dessert! All for only $29! A deal! There are other dishes to try next time! A totally fun time for family with kids or date night. A couple glasses of chianti and you're set!

    Overall we had a lovely evening dinner at Monello Cucina. The food portions were good, the drink prices moderate, and the service was decent. Our particular waiter was a bit pushy at times but was very knowledgeable about the options and ingredients.

    We ordered from the pre theater menu. I think that was a mistake although the food was fine. There wer four people at our table and all were not happy that we all had to order from the same menu. If we do go back we will order from the main menu.

    Food and ambience was excellent. Had oysters - seafood pasta - risotto- broccolini - lobster. Everything was excellent except service. So slow — prepare to be there awhile but food was great!

    We had great service at the beginning; however our main course was delayed and there was no apology offered from the server, even when we called a different server( ours was nowhere to be seen) over to ask what happened.
