"Dedicated to Milan’s aperitivo atmosphere and Italian street foods, the casual Little Italy restaurant serves up plates like panzerotti, or mini calzones, house-made butternut squash gnocchi, or grilled octopus. Weekday happy hours feature complimentary bites with drink orders." - Helen I. Hwang
"Our philosophy at Monello is to first and foremost be known as genuine. We practice genuine hospitality: Every person is truly welcome here and is treated as though they were guests in our own homes. We offer genuine Italian fare: Our menu reflects the rich culinary traditions of Italy, particularly the Campania region along the southwest coast, long celebrated for its diversity and abundance."
"Monello will be offering a special three-course Christmas meal from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., with a main course choice of smoked ham or prime rib served with potato puree and caramelized brussels sprouts with pancetta. Prepaid reservations are $72 for adults and $30 for kids 12 and under." - Stacy Brooks, Eater Staff
"Italian restaurant Monello has an airy, sophisticated vibe. It’s located on the ground level of the Ivy Hotel, and serves a full menu — but the best seats in the house are the bar stools. Try the Passion of the Corpse Reviver, made with gin, absinthe, and passionfruit, or a classic Negroni. The cocktail menu is succinct, but quality." - Eater Staff
"The swank Italian restaurant will be hosting a Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings. A three-course dinner with salad, entree, your choice of turkey or beef with all the trimmings and dessert. $49 person and $24 for children under 12, includes a special take home holiday bread." - Cinnamon Janzer
