    We had dinner here last night for the first time, after hearing friends talk about how good it is. We went there with two other couples for a birthday dinner - first time for all of us - and it did not disappoint! Delicious food, and we loved having a special little area off to the side for our group. Prices aren't inexpensive, but if you save this for a special night out it's a great experience!

    Love the small, intimate venue. I always order the sacchetti al cinghiale (sp?) which never disappoints.

    There to celebrate our 51st Wedding Anniversary before going to Village Theatre to see The Color Purple. Montalcino's remains our favorite restaurant in the Northwest!

    Outstanding all around dining experience. Quaint and personal - not a large group place. But a new go to for special dining experience.

    We have not been to this restaurant since the new owners took over operations. To our surprise, the menu seemed like it did not change. All of the dishes looked very familiar. The difference, though, is that dished that we once enjoyed now seem to have a heavy-handed amount of creamy sauces, which makes them less appetizing. The flavors are good, but we both could not even make it through a quarter or third of the portions. I would say that the food is only good, due to there not being anything offensive about it, but they should cut back on the cream and oil content. Go back? Probably not.

    Food, service, and being seated outside…. All was wonderful. Loved watching the locals parade by. I look forward to being outside again, when the weather is warmer— it was a little chilly. Love to sit inside next time, with the added smells which I missed. Thank you for making us feel so special!!
