Reviews for Monticello at Red Bank Italian Restaurant in Red Bank, NJ
When we arrived the fire alarms were going off which it was not there problem. It took us a few to get back into the restaurant... and seated once seated we placed our order with the waiter than never saw him again only the runner came with our food and oncewe were done eating dinner our party was kicked out because they said we were over our time slot and the other party was waitingin the cold. Not only did they no advise there was a time slot they didn’t care that there were people in the party thatwanted to order more. We were brought the check and were told to pay and leave. Then they told the other party that it was ourfault they had to wait and there were confrontations between our party and the other party cause they felt some way about us notfinishing up our food. The restaurant does the booking not us. In general it was a horrible experience. And looking into thetimes slots come to find out party 3 and higher get 2 hours we sat at 6pm got kicked out at 730 because the other party had a730 reservations so that’s a lie right there on the time slots they advise we had a party of 8 Read more
My husband and I shared the poached part salad and it friend has the house salad. Both were good. For entrée I had the... pescatore risotto, my husband had pasta norma (rigatoni with eggplant and tomato sauce) and our friend had the penne vodka. Weall enjoyed our dishes. For dessert we all shared the lava cake. Unfortunately it was a little burnt. Read more
Had such a bad experience at this restaurant and would not recommend it to anyone. Owner does not stand behind her meals that... she serves. We were disappointed with one of our meals and asked to send it back, and have something else made. The owner cameto our table…told us we would be charged for the original meal and the new one that she was making us. Not sure why I wouldpay for a dinner that I would not serve to my dog. This restaurant deserves zero stars for the way we were treated. Will neverreturn! Read more
If you have any kind of food allergy, I would take your business elsewhere. This food is not worth going into anaphylaxis and... risking your health as they do not double-check for allergens in your food, even when alerted of it. Highly disappointed in thestaff and especially the disrespectful management who did not apologize once. *Edited to add: if the waitress grabbed the wrongcanister when showing the table which piroulines she put in the ice cream, who's to say she didn't accidentally put the hazelnutone in rather than the intended chocolate as well? **Furthermore, the chocolate ones also may contain hazelnut as stated ontheir label. Neither of them should have been placed in a dish for someone allergic to nuts. Either way, this situation has beenhandled so poorly by this business and each person has the right to write their own individual review. Read more
Ordered Arrabbiata seafood pasta, came out normal tomato sauce so asked chille flakes, shellfish was not fresh. Fillet Mignon... was just okay. Waitress was kind but busser asked me three times for packing food. Felt like they wanted us to leave. Read more
Amazing experience. The food was delicious and fresh. Our waitress was patient and kind and fully knowledgeable about the menu.... Ambiance was so warm and inviting but the food… indescribable. Everything we ordered was fresh and so delicious. A hidden gemamong red bank but will definitely be a repeat. Couldn’t be more satisfied. Read more
The place was always packed on weekends and very very LOUD. Servers were pleasant and attentive even though they were super... busy. We usually started our dinner with Fried Calamari. They were the best among the many Italian restaurants we had tried.Crispy, yet tender, and flavorful. Our favorite entrees were Seafood Arrabbiata with spaghetti and Panko coated double cut porkchop.

I’m never one to write a negative review. BUT…It started out lovely, however, the service was beyond slow and was not... crowded at all. Can’t imagine if they were. Their credit card machine was down (which I get they are waiting for a new one)but they made it seem like it was my inconvenience and not theirs because my friend and I split it and used 2 cards. Had theytold us ahead of time we would have not done that and it turned into quite and inconvenience to them. And quite rude about it.If they weren’t rude about it I wouldn’t be writing this. Food was good but not over the top. Won’t be returning anytimesoon. Read more
