One of the best Italian restaurants I have been to. Highly recommended. I got a chance to see their refrigerators, as you can see, they use high quality cheese and meats sourced directly from Italy.

I celebrated my birthday this past week with my best friend, who knows how much I enjoy exploring new places. We decided to visit a restaurant highly recommended by a colleague and went there on a weekday without a reservation. To our delight, we were seated within minutes, and our wonderful waitress, Christina (the tallest), went above and beyond to make my birthday celebration truly special. We started with a refreshing non-alcoholic mojito and shared a Caesar salad, followed by a delicious chicken Alfredo served inside a large cheese wheel. The restaurant exceeded my expectations with its chill and calming atmosphere, making for a relaxing dining experience. I can’t wait to take my husband there for a dinner date!

We visited Monello on a Monday night during the bustling Little Italy Food and Wine Festival, and despite not having reservations, we were able to snag two seats at the bar. From the moment we sat down, the service was excellent…warm, attentive, and with a thoughtful explanation of the menu that helped guide our choices.
My wife and I decided to share two dishes, starting with the Pappardelle Monello. This pasta is an absolute must, with wide, homemade ribbons perfectly coated in a rich, flavorful sauce that made every bite a pleasure. We also split the Prosciutto Pizza, where the balance of flavors was spot-on, from the savory prosciutto to the fresh toppings and crisp crust.
To finish, we ordered the chocolate torte, which was decadent and satisfying. The bartender kindly comped it, saying we had waited too long for it, though in truth, we were perfectly content enjoying our bottle of wine and the lively atmosphere. It was an unexpected and much-appreciated gesture of hospitality.
Monello offers excellent food, great service, and an inviting vibe. We highly recommend it and will definitely return the next time we’re in San Diego

I tried the pesto pasta and the burrata as my main course and appetizer, and both were fresh, flavorful, and really enjoyable. However, the tiramisu wasn’t what I expected, the taste just wasn’t satisfying, especially for an Italian restaurant. The servers were very friendly and attentive as well.

We went to Monello for pizza before and it was lovely, so today I wanted to try something different and I had the pasta with saffron and prawns, it was as good as my husband’s lasagna but overall the service was excellent and the atmosphere so great! We sat on a lovely marble round table, the lighting was soft and matched the ambiance.

This was a great place in little Italy while celebrating a birthday. I had the margarita pizza, calamari and bread with olive oil. I really enjoyed the pizza.
Also, our waiter was so kind and friendly.

I would give the service and atmosphere 5* each but I would give the food 4.5*. I wish the pasta dish had some more too it than the basic noodles, sauce and cheese. Although the taste of the noodles, cheese and sauce is 5* worthy. They have a happy hour that has some food options at about half the price. I would recommend the happy hour food as it’s a good deal for the price you pay. I paid $12 for the noodles and cheese and $4 for the bread.

Service was amazing and the waitress (Cristina) was really attentive with us checking up on us the perfect amount. Food was absolutely amazing, you can never go wrong with their rotating cheese wheel plates. Definitely recommend visiting during happy hour too, worth the value.

This place was amazing. Obviously staying in Little Italy, we knew we needed to try some great Italian food. We came in for lunch and sat at the bar, Christina was our bartender and she was exceptional. Personable, and made sure we felt welcome. We ordered drinks based on her recommendations and they were absolutely amazing. We both ordered a pasta dish, Spaghetti Alla Carbonara and Tortelloni Al Tartufo, and some bread to start. The food came out so, so good. They weren’t the busiest at the time, so we received our food in a great time. We always had great service and attention. I can’t wait to come back the next time we come to San Diego, it will be on the list to stop at for sure. I know there are a lot of Italian places around, but this one left us spoiled.
