Waiter was forgetful. Food was rather average (we had pasta). Couldn’t light the heater. Music blared in my guest’s ear.

A delicious chicken avocado salad, a refreshing carafe of red sangría and a wonderful chat with our charming waiter, Jovan. Life is good!

Food was alright. Nothing fantastic. Pork chop was swimming in too much sauce. Cioppino was under spiced but broth was decent. Speaking of Cioppino, the server didn’t even know it was something on the menu even though it was the first item in ‘Secondi’. Pizzas are supposedly good. Will give them one more shot and try that.

Large tented outdoor seating with heaters. Delicious food and friendly service.

Thank you for another great dining experience!!!!

Horrible food. It was not fresh or tasty.

Absolutely great!

Amazing food and service was great. Thank you to our Serbians waiter

Nothing to brag about. Not bad but nothing spectacular or to brag about. Rather average and blah . Cocktails were good though .

We had the whole backyard to ourselves and they fired up the heater right next to our table so it was a great experience! Very good service! The food was ok - my boar was a little tough and uninspired but the drinks were good!

Phenomenal food. Three courses — salad, pasta and meat — all were delicious

Great dining experience! Loved dining out on the back patio and the food was outstanding!

Service was excellent, food was pretty good. The bread was delish! Meatballs could use a little more flavor. Would go back again. :)

Was put at a tiny table pressed up against the bar when the rest of outdoor patio was empty. Was told the other tables were reserved. When left an hour later, those tables we still empty. Food was typical Italian. Nothing extraordinary.

This place is a hidden gem! Their food is beyond delicious!

Great place with beautiful backyard.

I just love going to Monte’s - for good food and lovely service. Their beautiful backyard hides you from all your worries for one meal. And yes - their tiramisu is so fluffy and just the right amount of sweet!

The service was great and the food outstanding. Everyone in our party agreed. Monte's is a great place for brunch or dinner.

First time visit for my friend and me. We enjoyed a nice brunch in the patio. I had forgotten my friend doesn't eat meat or eggs so the choices were limited. She enjoyed the fish tacos. We would go back.

Seems like a decent place, but it was way, way overpriced for the quality of the food. I thought I was going out for a nice date night, and it felt like fast casual dining for luxury prices. Totally possible they were having an off night. The wait staff was kind and engaging and I tipped well, don't worry, but I would not go back.

Great food, nice garden. Server was brusque but effective.

We came from Manhattan visiting Brooklyn, first time at Monte's, and we loved the whole package here. Food was outstanding, wine list was very cool, our waiter was professional, warm, even charasmatic as the rest of the staff was. Seems like a neighborhood gem.

Returned to Monte’s for the first time in decades. Excited to see the renovations. The place, even closed off, looks great, very open and modern, while retaining some of the charm of the old-school original.

The food, however, was bland and unexciting. Too-salty meatballs, grainy mozzarella, and under-seasoned pizzas.

Super- friendly service. Really wanted to like the meal, but the food was just not up to par.

Great food and service.

Everything about this experience was wonderful. We had six people ranging from 26 to 60 and each person raved about the food, service and ambiance. Thank you for a great, safe brunch.

Had the clams and pasta. Got horribly sick from a bad clam. The service, however, was great.

For a place claiming to be the oldest Italian restaurant in Brooklyn, I was disappointed with the food. The service was superb. The backyard isn’t open, so if that where you believe you’ll be seated, not true. Also menu has been updated, from the one presented here on open table. Ravioli isn’t homemade, and had an overwhelming amount of truffle oil. Gnocchi was super chewy and mushy. Again, service was great, just not up to par with what is expected from the oldest Italian spot in Brooklyn.

Love it. The food was great. The tables are well spaced apart in the back garden and feels very safe. It is a good atmosphere for a nice dinner out. We were a group of 6 and it was a great time. Will definitely return !

One waitress was covering entire backyard and she was just overwhelmed. Took a long time to put orders in and get the food.

Great, cozy, well prepared for COVID; delicious food!

We were expecting more of a quality red sauce Italian experience. I’ll be honest, the quality of food in light of the prices disappointed. Veal parmigiana was dry and tasted like chicken. Pasta didn’t come with parmigiana. Pizza was soggy with too many toppings jammed on top. And service was disorganized. Music was also off-putting Italian rap. For nearly $300 for three people this entire experience could’ve been way better. Also what Italian restaurant doesn’t carry Aperol ??

Love love love it!!

Went during COVID, would have preferred more caution from server (no gloves, handling utensils/glasses, standing too close). Food was great though!

Celebrated a friends birthday party and had a great time overall. We had pizzas and appetizers for the table. Pizza is delicious, salads were delicious, calamari was disappointing over cooked. The backyard garden is a very nice escape from the noise and crowds.

Unfortunately the service was terrible. The waitress barely had the energy to deal with us. When we arrived we were seated outside and were not told there was a patio in the back. No effort whatsoever put into making it special. In this pandemic influenced world I am amazed that some restaurants think they can put it in auto pilot. The food was delicious but we will not be going back.

I booked two tables - one for two people, another for four people. Monte's was beyond accommodating, sitting us at a table for eight people with a buffer in between the two families! Super inventive and adaptive in these times. We were seated in the back garden, and it was lovely and incredibly well put together. It didn't feel like an afterthought at all, which sometimes these outdoor seating arrangements do. The food was amazing! All six of us enjoyed our food, it was delicious. The lobster special was a steal! We had the boar ravioli, mushroom ravioli, salmon, baked cod, speck and arugula salad. And a cheese plate! And tiramisu! Delicious and extremely accomodating. Our waitress was a gem.

Excellent service. Prompt. Courteous. Accommodating. Delicious & well prepared food.

Amazing oysters and lovely Italian style pizza. They are offering outside seating. I wish they took credit cards

food was delicious. chef pays a lot of attention to freshness and quality of the product. slightly disorganized in the service area but times are different right now so it's understandable. good experience overall. definitely coming back.

Always go to Montes. Love the food and service. Great pizza too.
