I really enjoyed coming here for lunch last Friday. My partner and I came for a late lunch after the movies and the wait staff... were great. We got seated immediately and I felt like our server was very attentive. My panini was perfect. The bread was freshand amazing and I could tell they used quality products, especially because I took some home as leftovers and it was still greatafter I reheated it in the air fryer for a bit. My partner also felt like his was great. I also had the cherry lime Moscow mulewhich was so refreshing and not too sweet. I think the prices are affordable. And I love that you can pick the quieter diningside or the sports bar. Highly recommend and I will be returning. Read more

Had the Rigatoni Carbonara and it was delicious! Wife had the Pesto Panino and that was also very good! Our server was very... sweet and attentive and was very patient with the guy she was training. Read more

One of the few places still open late during the week! That's how I came to find this restaurant. Google led me here but I am... glad it did because it was worth it. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo with steak- perfection! It came with a simple salad whichwas proportioned well. The whole meal started with fresh, warm bread and their own seasoned butter which were both very yummywhen put together. I wasn't impressed with the 4 option dessert menu or the actual desserts. The molten chocolate cake was notmolten and was overbaked but had a good strong chocolate flavor. The tiramisu, however, lacks in flavor and I found mine to bequite bland and dry. You'll see from the picture that there's scant cocoa on top and only the bottom layer of ladyfingersappears to be coffee soaked. For the price of the desserts, they left me disappointed. The Italian sports bar theme is what youwill find inside the doors and there are walls covered in live or recorded but seemingly recent sporting events. There is afull bar and enough beer options available to satisfy most tastes. The night I was there, my opinion is that I felt it was justa tad too loud for good conversation for a date night, but would have been perfect for a night out with my friends. In the end,Monelli's is absolutely worth going to for both the ambiance and the great food. I hope you have a good time and leave with asatisfied full belly, as I did. Read more

1st time at Monelli's and loved it. I had the Cuban and my wife the Parmigian chicken panini. Both were delicious. Service was... friendly and fast! Will definitely will be going again. Not the cheapest place around but high quality and large portions. Read more

Ordered the lobster, spinach fettuccine and it was fantastic. They were also impressively well staffed. The food came out fast... and was hot. Our waitress was very good and friendly. Read more

What a menu selection! My sister took me there, my first time. There was a small patio/outdoor section, folks enjoying. Inside... divided: sports bar setting, other side casual, families present. We both ordered a pizza, it was great! I had to ask for a"to go box for 10 inch). They brought a warm bread, sliced with soft butter, minor garlic flavor. I ate 3 slices! I will goback.. I had my eye on the appetizer list. Sign indicates hours to be 11:00 am - 11:00. Double check hours. Read more
