“My boyfriend and I wanted to try a new restaurant for date night. After reading lots of great reviews, we gave Monticello a try. We agreed that the entire experience was a 10/10! We sat outside. The outdoor seating area is small and cozy without being crowded. The food was incredible. I had the rigatoni with sausage and broccoli rabe and he had chicken parm. I brought a bottle of wine, and we had the lava cake dessert. (It was amazing.) I’m not exaggerating… I think this is my new favorite restaurant. We will be back!”

“Monticello is a woman-owned small fine dining Italian restaurant We've been going for years, and I am always happy with the food and staff. It's low pressure, quiet and comfy. I highly recommend this for an experience where you can hear each other speak, get fine ingredients properly prepared and maybe try something new ! BYOB is best, cause better wine for less money this way.”

Desserts

Tiramisu

$14.00+

Espresso- and Marsala-soaked ladyfingers layered with tiramisu cream.

“Had a wonderful time last week dining at Monticello before seeing a show at Count Basie! Amanda was great, the food was superb, and my wife said the broccoli rabe was the best she has ever had, and she's an aficionado on that! Speaking of aficionados, we both agreed the tiramisu was off the charts!!!, the best we have had. If New Jersey ever has a state-wide tiramisu contest, and Monticello enters....winner!!! Yum! Keep up the great work.”
