As of January 2022 our chef, Ermes Paulin, has passed ownership down to two of Montecatini's long-time employees, Terrance and Taylor George. They plan to keep Montecatini thriving on its "old school" vibe while enhancing the cocktail and wine program.

    The food is very good, however it is the service that really stands out. Our waitress was great, but what stands out more is the man bussing our table. He was so on top of every aspect of taking care of our table. What an incredibly hard worker he is, we were lucky to have him taking care of our table with our waitress AND Flemings is lucky to have him working for them. I need to mention a couple special touches, it was our daughter’s graduation dinner, we were greeted acknowledging it, the table was decorated with confetti, she was given a personally signed card by the restaurant staff and a a box of chocolates. Again the food was fabulous but the real standout was the service from beginning to end. A fantastic dinner experience!

    Food was good but the service could have been better given the fact that the restaurant was nearly empty. We ran out of water and had no silverware after our salad course; the waitstaff did not see this. No excuse.

    Excellent service. The staff is exceptional. The Manager stops by and chats. It was quiet and comfortable. I am a steak snob. It has to be a ribeye. This steak was in the top five of any steak I’ve ever had away from home. I could tell it was aged, perfectly cut and it was cooked to perfection. So tender and juicy. We didn’t have to wait or ask for anything. Amazing service!
