Many places have great food--it's expected! But few have great food and excellent service! This place has it! We felt like we were back in Italy! What a warm, welcoming place. It's great for family meals, date nights, or friends' get-togethers! I am mad it took me this long to find this place!!

Came for anniversary. Key things: friendly service, simply decorated, yummy food, reasonable prices. Need I say more? Shared calamari and Greek salad, and had sole oreganata and branzino for mains. Enough leftover for tomorrow's dinner. Definitely recommend!

Pleasant family owned and operated Italian/American restaurant on Post A e in Westbury NY. Mix of decor with select images and even a had made kit art of The great Marilyn Monroe. Place was previously Bennys. Bought in 2020 redone an opened in 2021. Plenty of seating room in back counts 40. Todays takeout - fish and pasta. They have a bar on side. Food adequate in taste. Servings small and cost on high side with a few small pieces of bread.

The Marilyn Monroe Statue - great photo op

Another date night with the lady and our gym friends; the venue Monroe's Italian Eatery. As you can imagine, it is a Marylyn Monroe themed eatery but that's only talking about the ambiance. The restaurant was very classy, you can come casual or you can come dressed in your Sunday finest they welcome you either way. The decor was fantastic, statue of Marylin Monroe as you enter was a great photo op. The staff was sensational, they memorized not only the menu and can answer any questions but they have a daily special list of too many to list. Our waiter was David and he was top quality, absolutely knew every part of the menu, the specials, and the drinks. We were bouncing back and forth on ideas for drinks and mains and he made some amazing suggestions that we were all very pleased with. We came in with a group of 4; two couples and were seated very promptly as our reservations were for 5:30PM. Table cloth was set and all the silverware was pristine. We immediately were served bread to the table with both butter and a very interesting tapenade that had a mix of eggplant, roasted peppers and some spices. It was hard to stop eating. After a few moments, David came over and detailed out the specials they were having, that were separate from the already extensive menu selection. He explained the most popular dishes in great detail, honestly we were floored how much was on the special's menu. Eventually we all decided on our starters and mains. For drinks, I had the smoked Bulleit Old Fashioned, made with Bulleit Bourbon, bitters, a large ice cube and orange peel, it was perfect. My girl had the blush and it was perfect also, she was worried about the sweetness and David requested it be made mildly sweet. Fantastic service from the start. The jolly rancher was another favorite at our table, pink and sweet with a jolly rancher gummy. Finally, the bombshell mule was the other drink for our group. Served in a copper mug; it was great. For the starters, we ended up getting the pulpo, which was grilled octopus over a bed of mixed greens and grape tomatoes. We also really enjoyed the stuffed shrimp. The portions were split in half for us as we mentioned we were going to share; normally the shrimp come with 3 and David was kind enough to bring a separate order so that we can all enjoy. The octopus was a bit over grilled on the smaller pieces but still very enjoyable (it was literally one tip of the tentacle), and still the crunch went well with the mixed greens. For the main course, we ended up getting the Montauk Fisherman's catch which was sensational. A ton of seafood such as mussels, clams, shrimp, and scallops over a bed of linguine in a choice of red or white wine sauce. (I enjoyed the white wine sauce with garlic). The other couple ordered a Surf and Turf combo with the steak cooked perfectly medium and a beautiful lobster tail with butter for dipping on the side. Finally, my girl enjoyed the shrimp and scallops over a seafood risotto. It was fantastic food all around. Finally, we get to the desserts, of course they had to run out of their special of the day Tiramisu; but we ended up snagging the last piece of blueberry cheesecake, a pecan pie with vanilla ice cream, and fudge brownie with ice cream. To make up for them running out of the Tiramisu, they offered fresh strawberries, dipped in chocolate with a sabayon cream. The ladies were floored and really enjoyed the desert. The cream was amazingly fresh and nothing was left behind. Overall, this is a must visit eatery; I can't wait to come back for more of the menu and the specials.

Please do try Monroe's. The service is excellent. Me and my husband both had the stuffed ravioli and omg it was chef's kiss good! So glad we had it was light and rich at the same time. My daughter's chicken noodle soup with ditalini pasta was so wholesome and nutritous! Our waiter was excellent and the cook was amazing - He looks like he really loves what he is doing - Cooking! He deserves a raise just for those stuffed ravioli alone as they are a hit. - Clean place with nice linens - with very welcoming service - you have nothing to lose coming here!

Salmon Avocado Toast
Cat C.

Located within walking distance of the train station, we came here on a lovely Saturday for brunch. It wasn't busy maybe due to the weather but we had made reservations just in case. One ordered a salad, two ordered omelettes and I order the Salmon Avocado toast. They were all good. One friend was interested in the Salmon Avocado toast and had asked if she can have scrambled instead of poached and the waiter wasn't sure. It would have been nice if the salmon dish came with home fries. I will say the dishes came out very fast. There is street parking available and a small parking lot in the back. Service was friendly and efficient. It was pretty spacious inside with another room off to the side maybe for a large party. There is a bar as well. Good place to consider if you are looking for brunch in town.

My kind of decoration!

It's really about a three and a half star. We came here for my birthday brunch. We had a reservation but we didn't really need it. When we entered there wasn't anyone to greet us. It was a good five minutes before anyone came to check on us. But after we were seated we got our menus and water. There was also a complementary cornbread that was still warm. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with Steak. My husband had the French Toast and my daughter wanted the Nutella French Toast. When our orders came out I didn't notice right away that it was incorrect because it did look good but before I touched it I got it returned. They apologized and brought it back in. My husband already started eating his before he realized he got the waffles instead of French Toast so we decided to ignore it. My daughter really liked her Nutella French Toast. When I finally got my order, it was very good. The eggs were nicely poached. The hollandaise sauce was creamy. The steak was a perfect medium. My only criticism was that hash brown looked good but tasted stale. There were parts that looked crunchy but were mushy and gritty. (I wonder if they just reused the hash brown from my first order.) And not that it matters to anyone but I love Pikachu so they get a half star back for the Pikachu decor.

Ravioli, preparedy with exquisite taste

I've always passed by Cafe Baci and my little brother has been hyping it up, so I went with our…read morefamily and visitors. The parking situation was not too bad on early evening during the weekday, but I could totally see it get out of hand on the weekends, so plan accordingly. We were sat right away and the lovely server dropped a basket of bread while we peered through the menu. The free bread is quite good. We were all starving, so the cheesy chewy bread was great to munch on. I am also much more forgiving about a bit of wait for food if there is free bread being offered. It was also nice because we were seated right by the kitchen window, so it was like getting a dinner and a show. We got the Saporite, which reminded me of a Costco chicken bake with its creamy innards punctuated by grilled chicken. This is my brothers favorite, and I could see why. We also had the spaghetti seafood, which was so richly flavored with the seafood. I'm not sure I ever had Italian pasta so full of that umami seafood flavor. Truly wow. The ravioli verde was something we got to add something not-tomato based & it was an excellent choice. The sauce was verdant and creamy. The ravioli filling didn't feel like straight ricotta but I liked whatever they had done to it! The chicken parm was also a solid choice, good breading on hefty cutlets of chicken and a nice helping of charred cheese on top. We liked every single dish, and the portions were more than enough to feed all of us and leave leftover for the next day. I was especially touched by the professionalism of the young servers during what was becoming an increasingly crowded dinner service. We got extra bread, waters filled, and to go boxes promptly. The hype was surprisingly real. I guess I should not be surprised that a place that's been around since my childhood has withstood the test of time because it was good. Will revisit soon for lunch service.

Updated review long overdue…read more Last three times I visited... i had planned on updating this review; however, always forgot until now. Food 2/5 very overpriced for not so great quality. Portions are fairly still large if the food tastes bad... it takes a lot of effort in eating it. Service 2/5 workers are young i guess if that is a pro... but lacks common basics... too busy talking amongst each other and talking negatively about the job. Ambiance hasn't changed for years. They offer a cash discount. I am leaving this review for a self reminder tbh... everytime I visit i think to myself why did I do this to myself.
