Monastero's Ristorante

Absolutely amazing place. The food is authentic and delicious. Came here for a friend's wedding and felt like I had found a hidden gem. My only regret is not learning about it sooner! The mandatory valet parking was a bit of a hassle for someone not used to such formalities, but the staff was fast and pleasant to interact with. If I lived closer I would definitely be a regular here. I thoroughly enjoyed my time and would recommend this place to anybody in the area.

The food here is delicious and fresh. The staff and owners are warm and knowledgeable. When my child got wiggly they were helpful. When a couple arrived for their anniversary the staff clearly knew them and welcomed them warmly. There were regulars as well as families. In addition, there was a pianist who was wonderful. Thanks for making date night with my child so wonderful!

The spaghetti and meat ragu, meat ball and sausage were just perfect. Mom loved her Eggplant parmigiana, and Maria, owner's daughter and operator was beyond welcoming, warm and full cheer. The decor within is very historic. Maria was very happy to tell us about it. Love those coats of arms on the walls. Rustic, friendly service, traditional Sicilian/Italian dishes. Can't ask for more. Tropu bellu

If you are looking at Monastero's to host your wedding ceremony/reception, look no further. We had the privilege of having our wedding (ceremony and reception) at Monastero's -- and they helped us making our wedding vision and dreams come true (at an AMAZING price-point, nonetheless!) Maria is incredible -- she worked with our budget and exceeded our expectations. Her attention to detail and kind heart made the wedding planning process so much easier (and enjoyable!) for us. We truly feel blessed to have been able to work with her! Our guests continue to rave about the food -- from appetizers to main courses, drinks to cake -- everyone loved it! I am certain nobody left hungry! The staff at Monastero's were consistently kind, thoughtful and attentive (especially Martin!) Monastero's is a true gem. We could not have been happier with all they did to make our wedding such an amazing and memorable day. Thank you!!

Monastero's is AMAZING-period! It is the quintessential family owned, beautiful Italian restaurant. Every person from the valet to the owners makes you feel welcome and part of their family. We have been going to Monastero's for many years, we loved it so much that we got married there in 1999 and now our oldest daughter is having her Bat Mitzvah party there. Maria is so accommodating, so kind and treats us like one of her own. You know that you are getting something special with her:) We love, love, love the food especially the Arancine for appetizers, the Mezzi Rigatoni Mamma Maria for dinner is to die for and anything for dessert!!! It's always the right and best place to go for dinner or a family celebration! My 2 other children will be having their Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebration there as well--my 11 year old son tells everyone he will be getting married there too!
