Monte's At the Manor

Monte’s is all about the sauce—it’s the real deal. If you’re a ragu lover, this place should be at the top of your list. The hotel it’s part of is incredibly cool; while we didn’t stay there, just walking through the lobby was an experience in itself. And the view of the Sound from outside the hotel? Absolutely breathtaking. As for the food, everything we tried was excellent. The egg sandwich was hearty and delicious, with the poppy seed bun adding a nice touch. The pancakes were perfectly done—fluffy and flavorful. The Caesar salad is generously portioned and perfect for sharing. And the meatballs? Extraordinary. Seriously, the sauce is what ties it all together—so rich and flavorful. Monte’s is officially on my must-visit list for every trip to Montauk. I can’t wait to come back!

We have eaten here multiple times and every dinning experience has been excellent. The food, service and atmosphere is impeccable. Monte’s tomato sauce is the best sauce on the market. Every jar tastes homemade. Our local grocery store can’t keep it on the shelf. It’s a family favorite and I find myself buying a jar or two every time I go grocery shopping just to make sure we have it at home. Thank you Paul and the entire Monte family. PJ you did good!

No need to go into details. The food was greasy and very expensive. The service was laughable. Thank god for the cozy atmosphere but it's not enough to get us back. We never mind paying for a good meal. Sometimes if the service is great and the food is just ok we are still grateful for the experience. Tonight felt like a total rip off. Come on guys it's pasta. It's winter in a tiny town. If you can't cook it well at least charge less and be nice.

This review is for two specific items on the menu- the lobster pappardelle and surprisingly…the burger! When I tell you…this was the best burger meat I have ever had..it is not an exaggeration. It was cooked perfectly. The lobster pappardelle was also beyond delicious. The folks at Monte’s show immense care for the food they prepare. It is really special to see how much attention to detail is made in the kitchen. Highly recommend this experience- especially if you’re staying at the Montauk Manor like I was this week with my partner. We loved it!

We initially had a bit of a hard time getting here because the Nav in our rental was confused. This restaurant is located in a hotel and the parking lot is a bit of a walk to the building. We didn’t have a reservation but they accommodated us with one, which was funny because there was initially only one other occupied table! We loved the romantic, secluded location of this place. Our server Sarah was great. Friendly, knowledgeable with good recommendations and was attentive but not overbearing. The food was 8/10. Not as fancy as some of the reviews are saying, but good. Worth it.

How do I say this, the wedge salad I ordered was $34, with shrimp which came with not even 1/4 of the lettuce for the $18 salad it self, and $16 for 6 medium sized shrimps. It tastes fine, but far far not worth the price for a January evening understaffed with very little service and have been put to sit next to a family of six and the kids kicking the same sofa I’m sitting on. Just not worths it.

My baked oysters were great although a very small portion. My Shrimp Monachina was delicious but again small should have been served with some pasta. Pricing was high although compared to other local places, fair. Overall I would give it a seven out of 10.

Ok so we were walk ins on a Thursday night getting on to the labor day weekend . We were greeted by a nice fellow that asked if we had reservations, naturally I replied no , he told us that there was a big party expected in a little while but could seat us out near the entrance near the bar . Ok that was fine the table for 2 was adequate and comfortable . The menu is on point , no fluff , not to small not to big either . Offerings were pleasing. Wife has the arugula salad and I had the fried calamari. Both were excellent if you like fried calamari this is for you served nice and hot well fried yet very tender and fresh with a nice little spicy sauce that was really excellent. my wife and I had the same dish , not so simple and cliché as you would think, the spaghetti with the side of meatballs. They arrived super hot. The spaghetti comes with the meatballs tucked along the bowl with piping hot spaghetti and a generous dollop of creamy ricotta. The meatballs are a very good size and are very tender yet firm at the same time if that makes sense, another word perfect ! The flavor and texture was very good. They must be putting veal in those meatballs. They were extremely delicious. the spaghetti and the sauce itself was excellent!! Kudos for serving piping hot food that doesn’t sit and die at the pass . My only complaint here was as much as I tried to stall the waitress into not ordering our entrées until our appetizers were finished resulted in me, ordering the entrées and having them arrive slightly before we were finished with our appetizers , please let us finish our and salad and give us a 5 to 10 minute break minimum, especially when we are ordering premium drinks at 22 bucks a pop. The offer to have the main courses sit back in the kitchen is not an option at least for me slow it down and just a trifle bit. It wasn’t that busy in the restaurant as of yet. All in this place is really really good and I would highly recommend it. So I’m adding a breakfast review as well , would have liked to give a new separate review but Google will not let me . We came back for dinner a second time since my first review. Again !!! Food was excellent as was the service. I made reservations prior this time !!! It you’re a chicken cutlet parm fan , you’re going to love it . But getting to breakfast, wife and I came in for breakfast instead of going to the other two guys down town for a change , and a nice change it was !!! We had eggs and bacon, a ham omelet with real slice ham steak , (not deli ham) , toast , rye and wheat , coffee which was excellent and hot . We also shared an order of pancakes and they were very very good , service was also very good and we didn’t have to beg for anything in the way of coffee refills, extra butter ETC. another nice feature was not having to fight our way downtown and wait online for an hour for our number to come up. So if you want all the goodness without the hassle I would recommend you come to this place for breakfast.

We stayed at the Montauk Manor for a weekend event with the American Littoral Society and our meals were all at Monte's. Breakfast was amazing -- first day I had poached eggs with sausages which came with bread and hash and second day I had ham and cheese omelette and bacon which also came with bread and hash -- huge portions. The sausages were really tasty. Lunch was good - I tried the fish and chips. It was a light batter, not breaded. That's the way I like my fish. The Caesar salad tasted fresh and the dressing was flavorful. Dinner -- chicken Parmesan was a huge portion that I only could eat about a third of it. Packed the rest to go. The arugula salad had a nice dressing. I would recommend a visit to Monte's for any meal.

Pleasant restaurant inside the Montauk Manor hotel, catering to guests and locals drawn te the historic building and elegant setting. The food is predominantly Italian-American with a variety of pasta dishes and plenty of seafood as well. I had the fluke piccata which was mellow and satisfying. The capers and olives lent some texture to the mouthfeel and provided savory flavor to complement the mild fish. I also ate the complimentary bread with much gusto. For dessert, I tried a slice of the Italian Rainbow Cookie Cake. This was a little disappointing as the cake was dry and had a pungent garlicky flavor, like it had been cut with a knife that had just chopped garlic. I recommend inquiring about what's freshest when making your selections! Service was great (shout out to Michael) and I felt welcome and looked after. A step above many hotel restaurants and worth a visit if you're in town.

We had our meeting at the Manoe and chose Monte's as our last supper. I really liked the venue which is cost but not pretentious. The bar at the front is really casual and the perfect way to kick off dinner . The service is friendly stellar and very comforting . The food was amazing as my team couldn't stop raving . We ordered many items but the meals speak for themselves . You can see how professional and prideful they are - a must visit in Montauk !

My work colleagues and I visited Montauk Manor for 3 days and had a joyous experience. Monte's did NOT disappoint. The servers (shoutout to Derrick!) were fantastic and the food was tasty. HIGHLY recommend the swordfish, truffle fries, and baked oysters. For dessert, since my birthday had just passed a few days ago we enjoyed the rainbow cake which nearly topped my favorite pastry shop in Manhattan (Veniero's - a NYC staple if you haven't tried it yet!). Overall, Monte's was a 10 out of 10 and we'll definitely be back in the near future!

We ate dinner at Monte's. We loved the ambiance. The food was excellent. I had the clams oreganata for appetizer and veal parm. My wife had the fluke which was also excellent. The drinks were just right and the service was perfect. Highly recommend.

The mussels dish did not taste good. The cheeseburger was salty. The monte pasta was okay. Our server was very pleasant. It would have been nice if he didn't forget to bring us our drinks, though. He apologized for forgetting to bring our son his juice but forgot that the wife and I ordered sodas. The ambience was very nice. All in all, the experience was okay which reflected in my tip.

Food was very good, but limited. They were out of a few things. Admittedly we were off season. Service was great and the ambiance was very nice. We would go back.

Stayed at the Manor. Food and service was great. The omelettes were both good and there was a large variety of food to choose from

This is a MUST go to when in Montauk !! Such a warm atmosphere , friendly staff and GREAT food AND drinks !! The baked oysters and the stretch are 2 of our favorites for appetizers and the linguine with clam sauce , chicken parm and pasta bolognese are to die for !!! HIGHLY recommend !!!

We initially got there and sat at the bar. John the bartender was fantastic, super personable and knowledgeable about the history of the place as well as the town in general. He was also able to give us some tasty menu recommendations. If you go here I would recommend stoping at the bar if John is there! Once we sat we had the mozzarella dip and it was phenomenal! We couldn't stop eating it the sauce was perfectly made and it paired great with the toasted crustini's they gave with it. For our meal we had chicken parm and the spicy pasta and they tasted great too! It's a small little place with only about 20 tables inside and it felt very nice and warm. We will be back without a doubt

Took my wife, her parents, and our kids here. Some of the best food I've ever had in New York! The pasta was cooked to perfection and the sauce had so much flavor. I loved the calamari as it was some of the best I've had. Very fresh and just a right amount of breading and spices. Stretch mozzarella was something that is so hard to find on the West Coast. Could go back and just do that! The bar makes incredible martinis, and the service was on point. We had such an amazing time walking around the beautiful grounds after our meal. This is a must stop every time we go to Montauk from now on!

Best Italian restaurant in Montauk. All the staples with a warm and educated staff to go along with it! Highly recommend!

What an amazing experience!!! The food was delicious and the experience was wonderful. We were seated immediately and loved the warm atmosphere. We loved the swordfish meatballs and fluke piccata. The fish was fresh and the flavors were amazing. The stretch appetizer stole the show especially with my kids. We bought the Montes sauce (really the best sauce we've ever had) and have been trying to recreate it since we've been home!!! Of all the restaurants we visited in Montauk, we truly thought this was the winner! Highly recommend:)

food was mediocre. service was terrible . after the waiter took our order we never saw him again. Also when my husband paid the bill tip was already included because we were a party of 6 but a tip option popped up when he was paying. it's extremely deceitful when you are asking for a tip when it is already included in the bill. i would not recommend!!

We had a very nice dinner here. Wait staff was attentive and food was very good. One shortcoming is when you order a $18 dollar martinis and get a $4 dollar up charge for a big of olive juice it seems unfair.

Grabbed last minute, late reservations for my Aunt's birthday. It's a small place, but the food was excellent. Drinks were strong. Waitstaff were friendly. I had the Ravioli Limone and I highly recommend it. Absolutely delicious!
