Montesacro was a great place to have a solo dinner. I sat at the bar. The staff is friendly and service is quick. I ordered the Carbonara and Tiramisu, both were amazing. I also had a glass of Pinot Noir. I’ve had better, but it was fine overall. When I dine alone, I like to read a book. The noise volume was conducive to doing so.

We had a really nice lunch. The tiramisu and non flour chocolate cake was heavenly.

SUCH A GEM OF A PLACE, we can’t wait to go back!!!!!!! Didn’t take nearly enough pictures. But we got the gem lettuce fennel salad, the lamb ragu pasta and the eggplant pizza. AND THE PINSA PISTACCIO FOR DESSERT. I think we ordered perfectly, I’d recommend allllll of those. I’m drooling thinking about it. Also the drinks were phenomenal.

Montesacro delivered an unforgettable experience. The pinsa was incredible – light, crisp, and full of authentic flavor. What truly made the evening stand out was the service. Our waiter brought a unique blend of warmth and professionalism, with a kind of Mediterranean–Eastern European charm that gave the whole evening a special touch. He had an effortless way of making us feel at home while keeping everything perfectly on point. Combined with the amazing food, this made our visit one to remember. Highly recommended!

We had a large festive, private lunch in the garden. Everything was exceptional: contact with and professionalism of the crew, the food and wine (so many people raved about them afterwards: pinsas, cacio e pepe, steak, artichoke, arancinis, tiramisu, PANNACOTTA!), catering to dietary needs (vegan/vegetarian), the vibe, kind, smiling waiters. Price/quality ratio unbeatable. Believe me, I checked. I cannot thank you enough, Emanuel and the team!

One of THE best restaurants I have ever dined in. The service the atmosphere and the food are absolutely top notch. The pasta is absolutely amazing the best pasta I’ve had in my 23 years of life.

I am on vacation from California and came here tonight for the very first time and I was beyond impressed! The food here was EXCELLENT!! As someone who is Italian and travels regularly to Italy every year, the food here made me feel like I was over there in Italy. The food at Montesacro is 100% AUTHENTIC. The service here was also EXCELLENT! The staff were very friendly and helpful and I also liked the restaurant itself as well. It is very clean and inviting. I liked the decor. Was very elegant and felt warm which I liked. You can tell the owner has a lot of pride in their food and restaurant. It really shows. This place has to be one of the BEST Italian restaurants I have ever been to!! It really is that good and if you are in New York and want true, genuine Italian food with a fine dining experience that is reasonable. This is DEFINITELY the place!!

I went here on the first night of the blizzard and was so grateful they were open. It’s a small, cozy spot with a warm, welcoming atmosphere… the perfect place to escape the storm. The food was incredible: the pappardelle with oxtail was to die for, and the gem salad couldn’t have been better. Service was excellent from start to finish. I’ll definitely be back!

Walked in on a Friday night and was seated immediately. The people after us were offered seats at the bar while they waited for a table, so I would say get there earlier if you don’t set a reservation. My friends and I ordered a bowl of cacio e pepe and each got a pizza to split. The casal bertone was everyone’s favorite! The perfect combo of flavors combined with that crispy guanciale (don’t let this scare you away if you’re not used to it) had us all wanting more. The infernetto was okay, nothing spectacular honestly but still good to me. A tougher sauce critic at the table rated it lower. We didn’t really enjoy the Tufello. It felt like it was missing something, so that one we didn’t finish. If you’re drinking, the Caligola was great and I could see myself ordering that every time. Our Arnold Palmer critic said “it was all Arnold and No Palmer…1/10”. Our waitress was kind enough to remove it from the bill. I would recommend this place to others. It’s a nice vibe inside for sure and overall you’ll enjoy the food

This restaurant has a neighborhood feel to it where everyone is known by their name. The place is quite huge with a terrific ambiance. The food is amazing, great menu, great cocktails. Service is fantastic and info recommend.

The back garden area is really nice to sit in. The food was really good, I have no complaints about that. Only thing that was disappointing was the service, it took extremely long for every step of the meal. The servers were nice when they did come but we waited around 35 min before we got our appetizer (and our drinks came after 20).

Made reservation on OpenTable for a special occasion and even stopped by two nights beforehand to see if there was any way to reserve a specific table for our group. Unfortunately, the server working at the time wasn’t welcoming, wouldn’t take my name, and just told me it wasn’t possible - it would be first come, first served even with a reservation. On the actual night, I arrived 45 minutes early, and the host who greeted me at the door was also not warm or friendly. I felt like I was being a bother just by asking 2 questions. For such a special occasion, it was disappointing that the table offered to us was right by the entrance. When I politely asked to move more toward the back, the host seemed annoyed. Thankfully, once we were seated, everything turned around. Our server was absolutely fantastic - warm, attentive, and made us feel truly cared for. The food was also incredible! We had drinks at bar after and the bartender was not welcoming either. This restaurant has so much going for it, but a little more warmth and hospitality at the front would go a long way in making the full experience match the quality of the kitchen and restaurant service team.

Pretty place The service was so slow… it’s not bad, but it’s not good. Heard the pasta was good so we tried two pasta dishes and both were just okay. I was thinking about trying the pines but the pics didn’t make it look as good.. and when I saw it just looked okay.. maybe I should’ve tried it but this review is for the pasta.. Noodles were good but nothing to rave about. Flavors weren’t particularly special or unique.

The brunch food is unbearable - over salted and drenched in fake-tasting butter. Sent back some messy looking and tasting pasta but the replacement eggs Benedict was barely any better. Squash flowers dish was acceptable but not amazing. The backyard garden has a nice aesthetic but you can't eat vibes. Service was kind of slow as well and I've never had a server just abandon the payment device at the table and force us to do the card payment splits on our own before. Even if it's not difficult, this place is not cheap enough for self-checkout.
