    Sole Oregenata
    Gina C.

    Perfect place with a beautiful ambiance. Our waiter, Tomy, was fantastic and helped me decide on my dish since I knew I wanted something with shrimp. I ended up ordering the Sole Oreganata with a side of shrimp, and it was absolutely delicious! This place is charming, welcoming, and definitely a must-try. Great food, wonderful service, and a lovely atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!

    My wife and I stepped out for a dinner date as usual. I saw this place and great ratings so I decided to try it out. Upon arrival I realized I worked right behind this place for 1 year and never knew about it. When we walked in they were very busy. This was a great sign for me to know others like the food. We had to wait 20 minutes for a table as they do not take reservations and it was full. They do not have anywhere to wait inside. You have to sit in chairs outside the door or in your car. They will call you when ready. We where called about 15 minutes into out wait and sat. The waitress came over and greeted us with waters and we purchased a bottle of wine (they did not have a bottle that they have in their online menu but we were able to find a back up). We ordered food and where brought bread with oil and herbs. My wife ordered the lamb chops that came with mashed potatoes and cream spinach. I ordered the lasagna . The Lamb chops were cooked medium as ordered but they lacked flavor as well as the potatoes . She had to add salt and pepper to the dish . Really doesn't take to cooked food as it does hen you cook with seasoning. The lasagna was pretty tasty I must stay and not to heavy. Paired very well with the wine we had . The outside does not do the inside justice. Very nice place. Affordable food and wine. Just a tad of Tony's or a heavier spice blend on the meat . I may come bs k one day if in the area. Service was excellent I must say ! Met the GM as well.

    Oh! My! Goodness...so unexpected. My daughter had googled and googled to find great Italian in SAT and this restaurant kept coming to the top. We pulled up and it was a strip mall so, again, I was like meh. However, we sat down to an amazing wine list and menu. This is a family run restaurant straight out of Italy. Homemade goodness and the service is incredible! I will absolutely be back every time I am in town, visiting from Colorado!

    Bronx Pollo Parmigiana
    Carissa V.

    Stopped in for a solo lunch a few weekends ago and really enjoyed it. I was greeted right away and seated where I could take in the space. It's small and cozy, reminded me of those quaint spots in Philly or NYC. Staff was attentive and everything moved with ease. They start you with fresh bread and a rich olive oil herb dip. I ordered the Pollo Bronx Parmigiana and it was indulgent in the best way. Golden crusted chicken, vodka sauce, melted mozzarella, over rigatoni Alfredo with broccolini. They bring out hot cheese and drizzle it over the top which takes it to another level. There was also this subtle jalapeño vinegar flavor that balanced the cream and tomato really well. Not spicy, just enough to cut through the richness. And of course, I LOVED their wine selection. I went with a Montepulciano and it paired perfectly. This isn't a corner pizzeria, so expect those kinds of prices (more like a sit down, reservation kind of place). I'll definitely be back with my husband and friends.

    Fettuccine di Parma (added chicken)
    Jolynn R.

    First time here and did not disappoint. We started off with the Uvalde Fried Mozzarella. I am not a honey fan but I could not get enough. Sodas are in cans, so you pay for each one. I had the fettuccine di Parma and added chicken. You can tell everything is made fresh to order because it came out steaming. The sauce was nice and light, but be ready to take the plate home for left overs because it is a generous portion. The place is a decent size, but definitely smaller than I was expecting. It was a nice, quiet afternoon when we went. The owner (maybe manager?) came by to check on us and talk with us. There's parking in the front and the back, which is nice because from the front side it looks like there isn't enough. You can go in through the front or back as well.

    Best experience at a restaurant in a LONG TIME! Food is delicious, like way delicious! The service is top notch! Sooo amazing! We were incredibly impressed and highly recommends! From the outside it's not what you expect but don't let that deter you! I cannot wait to go back!

    I know I have a new favorite restaurant in town when I stop in not once, not twice, but THREE times in a single month. That was during the month of February after watching an Instagram reel a user posted of the cheesy deliciousness that is the Pollo Bronx Parmigiana entree. I absolutely HAD to try it after seeing the long trail of melted cheese that gets drizzled over the dish. I love everything about this unassuming spot located in a strip mall off Babcock Rd. From its cozy interior and expertly decorated space to the absolutely delicious food and to the incredibly friendly and helpful staff. I can't speak highly enough of Mare e Monte. The food obviously is the true showstopper here and what brought me back so many times after raving about it to multiple friend groups. Hands down my favorite (and again what first brought me in) is the Pollo Bronx Parmigiana dish. All of the flavors of this dish combine together to create something truly incredible for the taste buds and it's definitely a cheese lover's paradise the spicy red pepper jam that they use on the dish really puts the dish over. the edge and gives it a nice pop. The freshly baked (and complimentary) sourdough bread service is also amazing. Make sure you don't let it go to waste like you might at other spots. If the Pollo Bronx Parmigiana perhaps isn't your style, the Pollo e Monte entree is another delicious option. Again another dish that's full of flavor and the duck fat potatoes were soooo good. I predict I'll be back for my next visit very soon and so should you!

    Interesting meatballs good flavor just different

    The parking is a mess so try and make a plan to get there early. The food was good, they have all the essentials for a nice experience/meal. The chicken parm was good but cold. The service was good and the restaurant vibe was loud and modern. Overall solid 4/5.

    We took our family to Marie Monte for an early Valentine's Sunday lunch, and from the moment we arrived, it felt special. Walking up to the restaurant, the cute exterior with a giant bow and Valentine's décor immediately set the mood. The moment we stepped inside, it felt like we had been transported to another world. The kind of place where every detail is designed to make you feel welcome. We arrived around 11:30 AM, and it honestly felt like the entire staff was standing at the front door just for us. The larger-than-life greeting was incredible. The front-end manager even personally welcomed my mother, saying something along the lines of, "welcome home. I want our restaurant to feel like home." That personal touch set the tone for the entire experience. Service: Our server was excellent--attentive, friendly, and thoughtful. Suggestions were spot-on, and all our water glasses were always more than 3/4 full, which is a small detail that really shows attention to guests. Food: Our table of four ordered: * Shrimp Adriatic (appetizer) * Chicken Caesar Salad * Sole with shrimp * Crispy Chicken Piccata * Chicken Parmesan * Tiramisu * Biscoff Cheesecake The Shrimp Adriatic was unanimously a favorite with rich, flavorful, and the sauce was perfect for dipping bread into every last bit. The Caesar salad was simple but perfectly dressed. The crispy chicken piccata was really good and the sauce-to-pasta ratio was excellent. The sole was fresh and received two thumbs up. The chicken Parmesan was a show stopper with an entertaining cheese slide. But the desserts stole the show: the tiramisu had the most balanced espresso flavor we have ever had and the Biscoff cheesecake was light, fluffy, and just sweet enough without being overwhelming. Overall, the food was very good, but the ambiance, service, and staff made this afternoon lunch a truly memorable experience. Ambiance: It's easy to see why this is considered a date-night destination. The décor, the thoughtful touches, and the warm energy from the staff made the restaurant feel special and welcoming. The front house manager even checked in with my parents individually, which made us feel genuinely cared for. Sometimes Seniors get over looked and it was a heartfelt touch. Bill: $140.73 for four people, including appetizers, entrees, and dessert. Worth it for the experience. Final Takeaways: * Perfect for celebrations or a special date * Excellent service and staff attentiveness * Ambiance and décor elevate the meal, even if the food isn't mind-blowing * Shrimp Adriatic and desserts are must-tries Would we go back? Absolutely. Is it the best Italian we've ever had? Not quite--but it's the overall experience that makes Marie Monte unforgettable. Hoping this gem stays around for a long time.

    The Most Spot on Italian Restaurant in the NW/NC Medical CTR Area. The Quality & Staff are A1 !!!! I Honestly will say.....THIS IS THE VERY BEST VEAL PARM IN ALL OF THE ALAMO CITY !!!! I truly mean it !!! 100% Highly Recommend this Establishment....

    Spicy Rigatoni and added meatball
    Staci A.

    Wowwww! I wish I could give them 10 stars! The experience was above and beyond any expectations...they are in a strip center, but when you step inside, it's decorated super cute and just bursting with personality. We walked up to the door and were greeted by Prince, one of the owners. He opened the door and shook our hands and said welcome home. In fact, he stopped by our table twice during our visit. He made it a point to stop at every table. It was a not holiday Saturday around 430 and almost every table was filled. I think we got the last one and then there were people waiting outside the entire time we were there. The waiter came and took care of us promptly and warmly. He was on point the entire meal. The waiter brought us fantastic fresh bread with olive oil dipping right when we sat down. The wine selection was very good. We couldn't decide on one of the dishes, so our waiter brought out a sample of the sauce for us to try. He also brought us fresh bread halfway through our meal. My friend got the Sole Oregenata with spinach and asparagus risotto. I tried the Spicy Rigatoni and added a meatball. This dish comes with crumbled veal on top, but it was no problem to leave the veal off. Both dishes were so delicious! The tshirts some of the staff wore said "welcome home". Very, very warm and each person seemed genuinely happy we were there and no one seemed rushed, despite them being slammed. The owners are the picture of how to give the guests a wonderful experience from start to finish. Well done! Can't wait to go back!

    Amazing Experience! Went here on a recommendation from a close friend and it didn't disappoint! Our waiter (Fatti) was super polite, Attentive, and friendly. The ambiance was nice with wine bottle displays and a homage to Italy all around. The food was absolutely delicious and the dessert was just as good but the tiramisu was the star of the show! Will be coming here again

    I absolutely love Mare e Monte Italian Restaurant. The atmosphere is relaxed, uplifting, welcoming, and warm from the moment you walk in. The restaurant owner is a true delight. He personally greets each guest, visits the tables, and makes sure everything is running smoothly and that the food comes out just right. You can genuinely feel his warmth, sincerity, and passion for the restaurant, and it shows in the quality of service, which is unforgettable. The complementary warm, fresh bread with a side of olive oil is a top notch delight! The restaurant ensures you are well fed by serving good portion sized plates bursting with spectacular flavor. We make it a point to visit every time we are in San Antonio because of how this place makes you feel, in addition to how good everything tastes. The food is amazing, but it is more than just great flavor. You can taste the care that goes into it and feel the energy in the room. The decor is beautiful and unique, and the overall experience is consistently wonderful. This restaurant is always worth the trip. We will definitely be back. Thank you to the all the staff at Mare e Monte who always makes our experience warm, welcoming and amazing! My family and I see you and appreciate all that you do!

She absolutely loved the empanada, and everyone agreed the salsa verder could use a little less salt. The calamari, on the other hand, was delicious--crispy and flavorful. I couldn't get enough! For my main course, I went with the grilled Tilapia from the Mambo Classis set menu, paired with a salad. It was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor--I finished every bite. The rest of my party orders Grilled snapper, Mambo Fried Fiesta and the Sliced Sautéed Octopus. Everyone enjoy their meals and the portions were so generous that they even had left overs. It was a totally pleasant lunch experience for all of us and we'll surely be visiting again.

But I've always been curious because the building itself is shaped like a boat. The exterior looks a little sketchy at first glance, but don't let that stop you. I'd definitely still give this place a chance. Once inside, they fully commit to the boat theme, which I actually really enjoyed. It's nautical and fun. We were greeted pretty quickly when we walked in. Our group ordered half-shell oysters, baked Cajun oysters, a shrimp po' boy, and a catfish po' boy. The baked Cajun oysters were my favorite and all of us unanimously agreed the fries were some of the best we've had in a while. Perfectly crispy. The shrimp and catfish in the po' boys were deep-fried with a classic cornmeal breading. It was pretty standard, but satisfying. One unexpected and cool touch is that they serve beer... and soju. I've never seen soju at a seafood/Cajun/crab boil spot before, so that was a fun surprise and a nice change from the usual drink options.

We've been wanting to try something different from the usual, and this place absolutely delivered. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted promptly and treated with genuine kindness. Our waitress was polite, friendly, and attentive throughout the entire visit. To drink, we ordered a large hibiscus tea served in a mason jar. You can immediately tell it's made in-house -- incredibly fresh, with a subtle hint of lime. Easily one of the best hibiscus teas I've had, and far better than the powdered versions many places use. I wouldn't even hesitate to pay for refills. We also started with a Modelo (canned), crudo shrimp (2 pieces), Japanese peanuts, chamoy, and a sauce at the bottom of the plate that was unbelievably good -- likely one of their ceviche sauces. Whatever it was, it was packed with flavor. For entrees, my spouse ordered the Pork Belly AguaChile, and it was phenomenal. The pork belly was crispy, tender, and moist all at once, loaded with flavor. It came with a generous portion of very fresh guacamole, topped with julienned red onions and serrano peppers, plus four corn tortillas and a fresh salsa verde with the perfect amount of heat. My spouse isn't big on tortillas, so I happily made a few tacos myself -- no regrets. I ordered the Ceviche La Mamona, which included tender octopus, melt-in-your-mouth ahi tuna, perfectly cooked shrimp, avocado, onion, cucumber, tomato, and a black sauce that tied everything together beautifully. This was, without question, the best ceviche I've ever had. I've never been to Mexico, but this is exactly how I imagine it should taste -- incredibly fresh and perfectly balanced. They also serve it with crackers, tostadas, and two creamy salsas: one habanero and one jalapeño/serrano. Honestly, the ceviche alone could have been a full meal. If you're looking for generous portions, outstanding freshness, excellent service, and a truly memorable seafood experience, AguaChiles is the place. Next time, I'm coming back for the whole octopus, super tostada mixta, oyster preparado, queso flameado, fried oysters, and possibly a molcajete. I love food, and every meal here felt like an adventure.
