Montebello - New York

This restaurant has some old school charm but the food was mediocre at best. The portions were small I ordered the veal scaloppini cardinale and the portion was half of what one might expect and the veal was so tough. The appetizers were also small paying for a portobello appetizers which had a small grilled portobello mushroom sliced up and hidden in a spring mix salad. When we’re stretching mushrooms it just leaves me feeling cheated. Even the Tiramisu was a small portion. Very disappointing.

We had a party of 8 for a pre-theater dinner. The restaurant was able to accommodate separate checks for our party which was very considerate. The food was absolutely amazing! We were able to fully enjoy our meal and have plenty of time to get to our show.

The food is really good! Tastes homemade, like you want your Italian to taste. Marinara sauce is fantastic! Quiet, slightly elegant, old fashioned ambiance. Service was very good. Only thing I would note in a negative way is that the prices were a bit high. $22 for a half order of pasta on the side seems a bit much to me. Just be aware of what you want to pay.

If you have dinner here as a small group you will be fine. If you go as a big group BEWARE. Was massively and shamefully over priced for a group of 10 people.

Extremely disappointed with the service and food. Ordered the Crespelle entree and the stuffed crepes were literally frozen inside. The waiter apologized, took the plate back to the kitchen and told us he had personally tossed the dish in the garbage and told the chef to make a new entree. Much to our surprise, the food runner returns not with a new entree but the same one I sent to the kitchen, half eaten... just warmed up. We spoke to the manager and he seemed not to be surprised of the incident nor that the food was frozen. Crazy to think they are charging $30 for frozen food. The entree was not removed from the bill...we had to tell the waiter that we were not paying for that dish. Awful.
