   Service was not good. Waitress did not check on us for quite some time after we got our food. If it was busy I would understand but we were literally the only people sitting in the back. we had 5 people at our table and they didn’t bring out everyone’s food at the same time so the food they did bring out got cold before they eventually brought out the rest. The sangria was watery. And after we were done eating they then said the restaurant does not accept visa or MasterCard they only accept American Express or cash... overall, would not return.

   The outdoor patio area is absolutely wonderful! Only negative thing about our experience is that they do not do a very good job at letting you know that you have to pay in cash or AMEX. We were not alerted to that until the bill came, and it should be the host at the front door who lets customers know that before they come in to dine

   Monte'sResponded on May 29, 2021We are glad you enjoyed your dinner with us on the 22nd. We try to make it very clear to customers of our payment policy. Notice is listed on our front door, menu, website, OpenTable page, Google, and other social media platforms. We are looking forward to serving you and your guests again. Best, Monte's best, Maria Rosa C.

   Came in last minute today with a party of 6, a baby, and a dog. They could not have been more accommodating. Our server (I hate that I didn't get his name) was TERRIFIC. Above and beyond every step of the way. We sat outside in front, then when the sun got to be a bit much for the baby, we asked to move to the back patio and he obliged and got it all ready for us. Food was delicious. Fresh oysters, delicious calamari, pizzas were wonderful, branzino was on point. Loved the limoncello spritzer for the summer-like afternoon. We were there at 4 on a Saturday and it was quiet and comfortable. Great neighborhood place!

   Terrible experience at Monte's yesterday. I have lived in NYC for 7 years and never have I been so confused by such bad service. My partner and I had brunch at the outdoor terrace. Our server wasn't friendly or knowledgeable, that we can handle. The part that got frustrating was when my croque-madame came without the egg on top. Over the course of about 30 minutes, we asked 3 different servers about it, my partner even went inside to follow-up and still nothing ever happened. By then my food was cold, and we were really annoyed by such obnoxious and unprofessional behavior. We went to the host to pay up for what we did eat/drink and leave. He was apologetic, as was the manager (chef?) but both clearly had no idea how to manage the situation. We paid and left. The reviews of this place were good and it looks like a nice spot, so I'm very surprised. This is unfortunately by far the worst dining experience I have ever had in NYC and I have been to many places!

    Old school Brooklyn vibes, great history to this place, great food, really nice service, and lovely outdoor space in back. Been wanting to go to Monte's forever and so happy we finally did. We will definitely be back! Not a "scene" restaurant, but overall very good experience. Thank you, Monte's.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
