Really a Cuban restaurant with an Italian twist... Neighborhood gem for families and couples alike. Great friendly & prompt service from Joel S. The Risotto Negro with Shrimps was excellent. Good bread and Pulpo a la Gallega. The spaghetti with lobster killed the lobster with its red sauce (pass on this one). The Milanesa is big and good platter. Desserts are good but overpriced at $7.95. Two couples, we had a good time. Marvelous host and server / table staff. read more

So we went back to having dinner here, let me tell you the experience this time was so much better! Our waitress Lisnay was super nice and helpful. She had great customer service skills. This time we ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, which was really good. The chicken was delicious the pasta maybe could've used a bit more flavor. (Next to try will be the wheel cheese pasta!) My mom ordered the pork steak with onions which was amazing! The pork was a big piece, very juicy and soft. We got an order of vaca frita to go which I didn't try but it was a big portion and looked good. For dessert this time we tried the tres leche...oh my gosh! Let me tell you, it was to die for! It was amazingly delicious! It's a huge portion and couldn't finish a bit of it so it's perfect to share! Can't wait to try other plates ;) read more

Their signature Pasta alla Ruota was Mediocre at Best. Dreadful! They added a white sauce to the pasta inside the cheese wheel and it barely tastes like cheese because they barely use it. This was the laziest pasta alla ruota I've ever eaten. Just an unflavored sauce with almost no parmesan cheese It is a simple recipe to make, just placing hot pasta in a hollowed-out cheese wheel, then the waitress scrapes the sides of the cheese wheel bowl, so every single piece of pasta is coated in fresh cheese. At least the service was afable. read more

I've eaten takeout from this place 3-4x and every single time the food has been just alright. However, today for the first time, we dined in - 11 people. Where do I begin? Service, PHENOMENAL - Jose Antonio was our waiter and he was on top of everything, super attentive and just great! The food, to my surprise, was really good - apps and entrees, shoutout to the fried calamari - SO good. We brought a couple of bottles and paid the cork fee ($20). Also, the fettuccini Alfredo was 10x than when you order takeout for some reason. The sangria pitcher was good too, everything we had was really good! Ambience was great, corner tables. I wouldn't order takeout from here again but I'd definitely dine in again! read more

Great selection of pasta, risottos, pizza and deserts. The seafood risotto is super good and just $22. The grilled octopus was made to perfection. The pizza was okay. Finally, the tres leches is the best in Miami, it is a little expensive at $15 but you should shared it between 4 as it is huge. Parking is available and service is great. read more

AMAZING!! This restaurant never disappoints. The service is great and the food is incredible. I'm actually disappointed that someone left a negative review based on how they THINK the restaurant should operate. Hiring is difficult with Covid yet I've never felt that wait times have increased or service decreased because of this so it's unfair to leave a negative review based on they're inability to do take out. Restaurants have been forced to make changes to adjust. I suggest going to dine in and your opinion may change. This is definitely a go to for us and I'm happy it's only 2 min away because we go so ofgen. read more

One of the best Italian restaurants in Miami. It's very tiny but don't let the size fool you. The portions are amazing and the desert is to die for. My family and I love coming here during the weekend when it's not packed. Service is amazing and you feel right at home. If you are in the Kendall area please check this place out. read more

Service was below par. We ordered the calamari to share and I had the steak sandwich. Calamari was a little over cooked. Main course took a while to come out. When I received my sandwich it was a bit cold. I informed the waiter that it was cold. He was a bit rude and questioned me when I said the food was cold. For dessert, we ordered the crème brûlée. The dessert was probably the best dish we ordered. read more

Excellent food, service, and ambience, even the background music was wonderful. I highly recommend this restaurant.

If you're looking for traditional Italian food, I would NOT recommend this place. I tried to order a BEEF STEAK "MILANESA ALLA NAPOLITANA" which as per the menu is: Fried Breaded Moth, Topped with Tomato Sauce, Ham and Cheese Gratin...? The dish comes with two sides, without the option to order spaghetti or any pasta as a side.... Very odd. Only sides available for this "Italian" dish were: white rice, black beans, moro rice, maduros, tostones, French fries, garlic mashed potatoes, and seasoned vegetables. IMO a very odd pairing for an Italian dish. Same thing when I tried to order a chicken Parmigiana; no spaghetti available. They DO NOT serve pasta as a side. Also don't order the cheese balls; they're shit. read more

unbelievably amazing, what a dining experience! service is top notch, i never even have to ask for water refills, you can see the servers watching over the restaurant ready to come as soon as they see a sign that a table needs them. the food is exquisite, have been here twice so far and everything we've tried so far is so delicious. the presentation for foods is outstanding as well. you can get all kinds of cuban and italian and combo dishes, it's an interesting mix. the atmosphere is great, you can sit outside or inside, and it is so nice. everything is perfect, i brought the pickiest restaurant goer i know for a special occasion, and they delivered! zero complaints. read more

Surprisingly delicious. Loved everything single item here from the Sangria to the main course and of course the amazing dessert. We had the croquetas de Bacalao, fried mahi and the cheese balls as appetizers they were delicious. The seafood risotto was one of the best I ever had and the Tres Leches was yummy as well. There was wait time but it was ok and glad we waited. Service was also very good. read more

I have been there about 10 time. Live their vast selection. Great chefs, good service. Try it when you cab

Ordered on the phone - the hostess on the phone was very nice . I came inside and Daniela was very helpful answered my questions. The food was not ready but the reason was it was being made fresh. Plates moved past me very fast and service looked attentive . Pizza made in the brick oven looked delicious . I've heard the Lobster bisque is great - hoping it's as such. Can't wait to come back and dine in. Staff is very friendly. read more

Montecatini Restaurant - Pick up inside - Italian Near Me - Miami, Florida

The food is excellent and service amazing. Great job Joel always... the vibes family friendly.

Went in for wine and tapas. Their wine selection is nice and not grossly overpriced. Had risottto balls which were unimpressive and only 2 to the order. The music was a bit louder than I care for but overall a pleasant experience. From watching the people around me, I'd say it's worth returning to try different dishes. read more

I honestly ordered from Uber eats and it was so amazing that I had to leave a review. If it was this good ordering it and waiting for it to get here, then I can imagine how good it is at the restaurant. The tiramisu was 10/10 read more

The food and the service are great, but the hostess is not friendly, almost to the point of rudeness. Because the food and service was so great, I went one more time, just to give them an opportunity and because I believe that everybody can have a bad day. I had the same exact experience. If you can pass the dragon at the door, the food and service part is excellent. That's a maybe. read more

DOUBLE CHECK YOUR RESERVATION!! I really hate writing a review like this.. I was looking forward having dinner here for a birthday. I had called early morning the day of and made the reservation for later that evening. While on the phone, the restaurant advised they sent me a text and confirmed I received it. My party and arrive at the restaurant only to be told I had no reservation. Just standing at the hostess desk, I received another text saying "don't forget your reservation at 8pm". I showed the hostess both messages. Looking thru a tablet she finally found my reservation for the next day.. oddly enough, the two text messages received were for the correct day. I didn't see much action of the hostess until I asked to speak with a manager as we were a large party and honestly saw no hope of being able to dine there as the restaurant is very very small. She went inside to grab the manager, after 10 minutes of waiting outside we decided to leave. She was speaking with two servers (one could've been the manager). After leaving the restaurant, exactly another 10 minutes later I receive a phone call from the hostess that they'll be able to get a table ready by moving guests around. I truly can't see it as it would have disrupted everyone in the restaurant just to accommodate my party. Everyone in the restaurant was eating! This is not to bash the restaurant.. more so for your employees to please take the time to listen and enter things correctly in your system. Everyone is so quick to rush off the phone and not get things done. I hope your experience is different. read more

Ok guys, this review is a little delayed so I apologize in advance but here goes... First of all, I hope that very one is staying safe. So some time after the pandemic started and restaurants were allowed to start opening up again, we where at a relatives house and decided to go to dinner, something we had not been able to do for months. After some discussion my cousin recommended Montecatini, and man where we glad she did. Montecatini was excellent overall, yes we had to observe the new COVID-19 guidelines but the experience was very good. Masks are required and tables are socially distanced as well so all good there. The service overall was excellent and they were extremely attentive. The menu was very diverse as they had a nice mix of Latin, Italian and seafood dishes on the menu. Everything was fresh and the chef came out to see us as well, which does not happen that often. Parking should not be a problem as they are located in a strip mall that has plenty of it. Definitely looking forward to visiting again soon. Bon Appétit! read more

Absolutely love this West Kendall dining experience. Food is affordable and delicious with lots of variety on the menu. The octopus appetizer is a must. Service is also extremely friendly and made for a wonderful special occasion celebration. I went for an anniversary and was pleasantly surprised with a an exiting, sparkling candle and romantic music played on the restaurant sound system at the presentation of dessert. If you live in the area, this is a go-to dinner option! read more

Don't try it. You'll sit in the parking lot and pay way too much for food you can find just about anywhere in Miami for half the cost and better tasting. read more

I finally got to try this place and let me tell you I was very impressed! We ordered as an appetizer the ham croquetas, as a meal the fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp and Parmesan risotto with chicken. The food was beyond delicious, you know when you are eating something and you are like OMG this is just perfect! that was us! The presentation of the dishes were really nice. Let's not forget dessert, which they bring you a tray so you can choose. We had, well I forgot the name, but it was a light tasting almond tort with vanilla ice cream thst was light and absolutely delicious. I will be back so many times because they have a vast menu and I have no doubt that everything tastes. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect. They make Italian cuisine but yet also make latin food. I just didn't think they could pull off two different cultures effectively. Well guess what? They did!! WOW, the food was absolutely delicious. The service was also very prompt and professional. I feel so bad not remembering our servers name but she was just the sweetest lady. We went for Lunch on a Friday afternoon and were blown away by the food. The restaurant is small but beautifully decorated. I truly hope they make it. This is the type of restaurant you see in Brickell so it's really cool to see it in the Burbs! We will definitely be back. read more
