I have been going to Montalcino during the holiday season for around 7 years now, even during COVID when they set up a tent in the outside parking lot. Clearly, it has always been very good and that is why I keep returning. However, tonight the experience rose to "superb." The special assorted appetizer was beautifully arranged and tasted as good as it looked. My saffron lobster go-to dish was perfect. The other dishes--lamb shank, waygu meatballs and pasta in a Marsala sauce, and short rib raviolis in Marsala sauce also made the other guests very pleased! For dessert, the cannoli, pistachio cheesecake, Italian sundae, and Limoncello gelato were all excellent for topping off a memorable meal. Our waitress was very attentive and the atmosphere was so casually and comfortably elegant that the entire experience was top notch. Will not be able to wait until next year's holiday season to return again! Thank you, Montalcino!

Cozy European-like setting. Welcoming host. Excellent service. Great food...a little heavy on the mushrooms e Funghi for my taste but would be heaven for others. If budget is a concern, then save Montalcino Ristorante Italiano for special occasions...otherwise enjoy every sitting. mg
