Moni's Pizza and Pasta on W. Randol Mill, in Arlington, Texas, is a neighborhood gem. My Wife and…read moreI just got back from a great dinner at Family owned & operated Moni's.
We had a small Pepperoni Pizza (12") as an appetizer (taking half of it home). The pizza was awesome. Crust was crisp and chewy. Sauce was classic pomodoro. There was plenty of Mozzerella & Parmesan, and the slices of Pepperoni just made us happy. So good!
We also had an order of Calamari (fried). The calamari was perfect, crisp fried coating and tender, juicy calamari rings underneath, accompanied by a delicious marinara.
My Wife had Moni's Fettuccine Leonardo. She gave me a taste. Wow. Soooo very delicious. Fettuccine noodles cooked perfectly, were served in a sauce of butter, cream, Canadian bacon, sweet onions, ground pepper, and Parmesan cheese.
I had the Veal Piccata. It was good, but not great. The Veal scaloppine was tender, juicy, and flavorful. The pasta was a great palette upon which to showcase the Piccata sauce. However, I'm used to much less Piccata sauce, usually EVOO/Butter with dry white wine (reduced), lemon, onion, garlic, Italian parsley, & capers. Moni's Piccata sauce also had what tasted like veal broth with a little corn starch for thickening. It was good, but, I prefer less sauce, and no broth.
We had two spectacular desserts, a Lemoncello Cake and a Cannoli. Wow. So very tasty and a great way to finish the meal.
Service, courtesy of Austin, was spectacular, professional, and personable.
BYOW. Bring your favorite bottle of vino with you, and Moni's will uncork and serve (thank you for reminding me, Nicki!).
Reservations can be made for parties of six or more.
The owner came by to visit, inquire about our satisfaction with their cuisine & service, and chat for a bit (always appreciated).
