This restaurant was a new experience for me. I went for my birthday dinner with my husband and another couple and a generous gift certificate we received at Christmas. What a great experience! It's a cozy place that reminded me of so many delightful restaurants when I lived in NYC. The owner makes the rounds to every table. The service is caring and attentive. And the food - WOW. I had the Insalata di Cesare salad, a nice slab of romaine with the dressing and shaved parm on top, served with a steak knife to cut through and enjoy. The best Caesar I've had in years. And my entree was the Ravioli alla Juventus, wild mushroom ravioli in a parmigiano cream sauce. I wanted to fill a bathtub with it and eat my way out. Fabulous. The others at my table had the halibut special with pesto risotto, Chicken Pizzaiola, and a custom pasta primavera. Everybody cleaned their plate. We were too full and happy to get individual desserts, but ordered a tiramisu and four forks. That came on a platter with "Happy Birthday" written in chocolate and a singing of the birthday song. Totally adorable. And that tiramisu was crazy delicious and light as a feather.

Montalcino is always my "go-to" restaurant for special occasions and entertaining visitors. The setting is cozy, the food is delicious, and the staff is always gracious. If I were to mention anything negative it would include the difficulty getting a good time for a reservation even when checking weeks in advance and the occasional difficulty parking nearby.

We came here for my wife's birthday and it was a wonderful experience. The service was top notch, the food was outstanding (no, like really really outstanding) and it's a cute little restaurant. Nice intimate setting, great for dates or special occasions or just because you want some delicious Italian food. Highly recommend.
