I’ve always loved Casa Mono since the first time I ate there in 2021. Every time I come to NY I got to eat there. Food is delicious, it’s a little pricey for the size of the food portions.

I generally don’t write reviews, but this meal was spectacular. The food is so fresh and the presentation is beautiful.. Instead of an entrée, my friend and I shared about five different apps and small plates. It’s such a comfortable environment to hang out and talk and it was a beautiful day to be in the West village.. I’ll be back!

Another great time at Monte's in the throbbing heart of Greenwich Village. We sat upstairs (quieter) and had brilliant service and delicious food especially the veal piccata that 3 in our party ordered. Happy birthday to our server, Alfonso!

My husband and I had a wonderful evening at the village location. The food (beet salad, lasagna, ribeye) were excellent along with the drinks (Cosmo, old fashioned and montepulciano wine). Loved the atmosphere as well, didn’t feel like I was in NYC. Highly recommend.
