Key Lime Cheesecake
Kevin K.

Went here for my son's 21st birthday dinner after taking him & my mom to see a matinee performance of "The Book of Mormon" in San Francisco which was outstanding & brilliant satire. The restaurant was amazing! We ordered cheesy garlic bread & also the escargot. (If you want this, keep in mind it takes 15 minutes to prepare.) Drenched in butter & garlic, it was good just my mom commented the snail meat was a little small & not plump. I had the lasagna (which comes out piping hot since it takes 30 minutes to prepare & cook). The nice thing is the menu advises of this. My son had the pasta a la carbonera with pancetta which was outstanding! My mom ordered chicken picata and my daughter had penne with the butter. Also my Manhattan was on point and the Roy Rogers (Coke with grenadine) was refreshing. The bar area was packed and has a wide variety of drinks & spirits to wet your whistle. For dessert, they gave my son a complimentary slice of tiramisu. I had the key lime cheesecake with berry coulis, my daughter had the chocolate cake & my mom ordered the zabilogne with strawberries. All in all, it was a fantastic dining experience and we will be back. Thanks to Rebecca, our waitress & the owner who checked on us. Note: They do have a new chef who is making the menu his own. As we left around 9:15pm, I peeked through the front window. The kitchen was humming. The chef & his team were hard at work getting customers dishes out. Bravo!

I've been back here a number of times, and I'm sorry to say that the food just isn't that great. It hasn't lived up to my first experience (when I ordered a "special"). The ambiance is awesome but I think paying over $100 for two people to have a fairly bland meal isn't worth it.

Carpaccio

We enjoyed food very much. Service was very nice and fast. We ordered Fettuccine Alla Viareggina and Veal. It was very tasty and portions were big.

Cioppino

The excellent reviews for this classic Italian restaurant drew us in, so now need to add one of my own! Expect a dimly-lit space, tables with tablecloths and candles, and walls covered with photos and framed art reminiscent of Italy. The restaurant isn't huge and tables are strategically placed to maximize the available seating. However, it's not a very open space and does get loud as it fills up, which happened very quickly at 5pm on a Saturday night. Service is excellent. We were greeted, seated, and served with warmth and efficiency. There's a lot going on in a busy restaurant like this and they handle it well. Complementary bread wasn't heated, but can't complain about anything complementary! Meanwhile, the dishes we ordered were all delectable. We shared Beef Carpaccio and Pancetta-Wrapped Prawns as appetizers, both of which I'd highly recommend. I love calamari steak and opted for the incredibly tender Seppia Dore, served with al dente rigatoni in a light, tasty tomato sauce and served alongside a medley of perfectly cooked and seasoned fresh vegetables. Yum! Other recommended dishes from my family were the Cioppino and the Chicken Piccata. Only the noise level stops me from giving Montecatini a 5-star review, along with the fact that I have (only once before) had a better calamari steak than they offered. But this is really a 4.5 and I look forward to returning!

Bone-in pork cutlet Sorrento
Glenn L.

Great experience at this classic restaurant. The bar was full before 6 PM - I think Happy Hour is popular here! We scored a corner table and were well taken care of. We ordered some drinks and ordered the prosciutto antipasto to share and then ordered the chicken scaloppine, the special (ling cod over angel hair), and the bonein pork cutlets Sorrento. The prosciutto antipasto was really good with a nice mix of foods. Our dishes were all amazing. This place can get noisy with a lively bar, but this is a fun place, especially for a celebration dinner.

Beef Carpaccio
Heather M.

A classic for a reason!! It was busy but the staff were so accommodating. We sat at the bar and split the shrimp scampi. Love that they split it for us! Perfectly juicy shrimp in a garlic butter sauce you want to sop up with the bread. My fav is the side pasta and veggies that come with all entrees. Just so good!

Ask the Community - Montecatini Ristorante

I'm vegan and my husband is gluten-free. Are there a good amount of options beyond a salad? (I see this question has been answered but they are 5+ years old).

How noisy is this restaurant when full (as on a Sat evening)? Like, loud Muzak, noisy bar, etc.?

Pretty loud, not music loud - customer talking loud. And pretty tight in space too. You can hear at your table when having a conversation.

Anyone know what the "new" hours are? We've tried ordering delivery 4 times now and each time it says the restaurant is closed.

Delivery can be ordered only during our open hours of Wed-Sat 4-8 pm. Please visit http://montecatinirestaurant.com/order-online/ for details and ordering. Buon Appetito! Please join the e-club and you will get weekly new menus.… 

Does anyone know of their happy hour specials?

Hi. Happy Hour is from 5 to 6:30 Tues-Sat and 4:30-6:30 Sun. They have a little menu for happy hour such as: antipasto or calamari for $5 and nice selection of wines @ $5 to $15 per glass. This ristorante has amazing delicious wines.

Do they have a kids menu?

Nope

What is the corkage fee if we wanted to bring our own bottle of wine?

$15 corkage fee

Does Montecatini offer a gluten-free pasta?

Yes!!! Owner and the chef are very responsive to all dietary requests

I was searching rooftop bars & this came up; only, is there rooftop bar/seating?

No rooftop bar, nice inside bar and superb food and appetizers. Well worth a trip in.

We've loved Montecatini's for years, but my wife is now trying to adhere to a vegan diet. Has anyone identified any good vegan dishes there?

My son-in-law is a vegetarian and he has eaten there many times with us so I'm sure u can find something . Ask them to leave meat out of a dish that looks good to u.

As far as service, I came in around 1pm on a Wednesday and received my meal in less than 10 minutes! I was pleasantly surprised and joyful given I was starving. If you come in on the weekends where it's a bit busier, long times will be longer as expected. Our server whom I didn't get to catch the name of, was kind and checked in with us about needing anything else just the right amount of times! When I asked for more lemon, another worker happily brought them over whereas in other locations, they might not do it with the best attitude. Their lemon pepper fries weren't my favorite as I've had better but still tasty and worth satisfying an intense craving for them. Can't wait to come back!

4 Stars! If you've…read moreread my other reviews, I'm pretty much a stickler for a clean restaurant. This one didn't pass the test. I'm basing this on my second time here because the first time I was sat at a table, not a booth. We were out for the morning, and decided to come here for lunch before having to take my son to the airport. I had come before and loved the sauce. We got there as they opened and were the first ones seated. They tried to sit us at a booth, but it was dirty, so we moved to the next one, still dirty, but we sat down anyway because it was cleaner than the first. The first table - the table itself was dirty, and the back of the booths had sauce and oily handprints all over them. The second table, the table was cleaner, but the booth backs were dirty with sauce and oily handprints. I kept reminding myself not to sit all the way back. I used the bathroom to wash my hands but did not use the toilets. Bathroom could use a deeper clean. One thing is they have kind of weird decal thing on the wall by the bathroom which if you don't take the time to read, seems really in appropriate So due to the cleanliness, I'm marking it down a star. As for the food and service, excellent. I really didn't think I would find another place better than my go-to in Berkeley, Bag O Crab, but I did. I don't know what it is about their sauce but it's just a little bit better than Bag. I got their house sauce, mild. Next time I'll get medium because there was no spice at all. I am just used to other Cajun spots, I guess, and ordering a mild, only for it to be super spicy. I like that they stay true to the word mild, lol. Especially for those who can't handle heat. Everyone enjoyed their boils. My husband ordered the catfish and he said it was excellent. The only thing we didn't really care for was the garlic noodles. Bag has the trophy on that. I love that they bring you lemons, s&p in little containers, bibs, all utensils, etc. at the beginning. So you don't have to wave down staff to bring you that. The bucket for shells and the boils coming in trays, so nice! We will definitely be back. I just hope they clean the booths soon, lol.

So what better place to dine in to celebrate out 2nd Year Wedding Anniversary at The Hideout Kitchen :) We went for dinner. Our server was KEVIN. Simply...HE IS JUST AWESOME. He knows the menu, he knows the history, and has amazing stories to share with everyone. Great guy. A lot of people there that night seemed to be celebrating something. The noise was a bit loud that I felt I had to almost yell to have a conversation with my husband. But the vibe was great. I enjoyed looking around at the decor. We ordered: - TRUFFLE FRIES for appetizers - I loved everything about it. haha. Tastey! - linguine & clams - I ordered this. It was good. However, I felt it was way oily. And after every bite I took, I had to wipe my mouth. And I accidentally spilled oil on my shirt. - PASTA ALLA CARBONE with steak - My husband enjoyed it and started to get full towards clearing out his bowl haha. - SCALLOPED POTATOES - I ordered a side of this. Definitely was not expecting to look the way it did, but I thought the presentation was beautiful. It was good; however, I was not a fan at how crunchy and hard the top first layer was. In a few areas, it was almost burnt. But I thought it was pretty good without the need for a type of sauce on the side. - For drinks, I had to Summer sangria and my husband had the Rumble in the Jungle. We enjoyed it. Definitely hit the spot. No complaints at all about these drinks. - And Kevin surprised us with a dessert to celebrate : Cranberry Bread Pudding. This was delicious. Very flavorful. I am not really into Cranberry, but this is definitely an exception. Loved the fruits on the side as well. The Hideout Kitchen will always have a place in our hearts. We will definitely come back. We still need to try this place out for Brunch. We need to try their UBE pancakes! hehehe. And thanks Kevin for being amazing that night!

Perhaps it was just me, but the menu didn't offer anything particularly exciting. We ordered the pork belly panini ($22) and a full wedge salad ($19). The pork belly had a crust that was nearly impossible to bite through, so I had to cut it off with a knife, leaving a thin layer of fat. The flavor was underwhelming as well. The blue cheese wedge salad had an unusual flavor that neither my wife nor I enjoyed, and we left most of it. Honestly, even Outback does a better job with their wedge salad. The Parmesan fries were the one standout. The beer selection was quite limited, although they did have a Dustbowl Taco Truck, which is a nice option. A few more beer choices would have been appreciated. On a positive note, Kary provided good service, and we appreciated her attentiveness. Overall, it was a disappointing dining experience, and with so many great restaurants in town, I'm not sure we'd return. I do miss the old Cooperage that used to be here; we always enjoyed it much more.

We went there for the first time, but pretty soon realized we will be back. We started with mango iced tea and guava lemonade, both are good although guava flavor is just amazing! Our strters were: marbeled potatoes and chicken empanadas. The empanadas are so good and freshly made that you can taste them. I don't particularly like caviar, so other than that topping the potatoes were very good! We ordered jerk chicken sandwich and curry chicken burrito. Both comes with pickled salads on the side, burrito with chips and sandwich with seasoned fries. The burrito is amazing, inside there's chicken in curry, avocado and other vegetables. The outside is little crisp and perfect! The jerk chicken the inside was next level, they really know how to cook their chicken (I always wondered why they be call "jerk chicken", I know now ). The bread was a little bit greasy but the chicken is just phenomenal. For dessert, we ordered coconut gelato. And I never had coconut anything that good, hands down best gelato I have ever tasted. It is not over sweet, creamy and smooth and so perfectly coconut-y. Definitely worth trying out if you haven't. Btw service was great too. Will visit again.

When I ordered a cocktail, the man sorted of dismissed it and said we don't serve that particular alcohol here and made me feel like I was wrong (it was a drink I've had nearly everywhere I've ever eaten). During the course of the dinner it felt like the theme of the night was "no" - no, you can't get that cocktail. No you can't mix the empanadas, no you can't get that dessert to go. The food was good, though it was served past the peak of temperature and was more warm than piping hot. You can't simply have attitude and then be selectively excellent. For the attitude and the price - I would expect more accommodation, kindness and consistent service. When you have 3 Michelin stars you can get uppity. For now it's a good spot with good food - but not a place I'd go to impress.

The food is pretty good, and we also love their Cuban coffee. The ambiance is another highlight! They're always playing Cuban music, which creates such a fun, welcoming vibe. The inside is elegant and modern while still embracing traditional Cuban touches. My only suggestion would be to be a little more transparent about pricing. During our last visit, we ordered churros for dessert, and our waiter, who was extremely friendly and helpful, offered us a scoop of ice cream to go with them. We were happy to try it, but we were caught by surprise when we realized the single scoop of ice cream cost the same as the churros themselves. It felt a bit pricey for just one scoop, especially since it was something we wouldn't normally order at that price point.

We seated within one minute of walking in the door. This is not my husbands & I's first time to this restaurant. But it has been several months since we've been back, for no other reason than just timing. Every single time we have been to Havana's it has been an excellent experience, excellent food & with amazing cocktails! Joe, our waiter, was amazing & eager to suggest new food dishes. And made certain that every need we had was taken care of. On this night, we tried a new beef dish that is prepared like Carnitas and their wings, washed down with Mojitos (classic our favorite) which were perfection! This will not be the last time we come to Havana's for a quick bite & drinks. We love this place and are never disappointed, we highly recommended to all of our friends constantly as it has consistently great food, drinks, and service. I've never been disappointed yet- This is probably my 10th or 12th time coming to Havana's! We will be back- soon I hope!!

They offer options of sitting at a table inside, at the bar, or at a table outside on the rooftop. Each has its own vibe. Since we were celebrating our anniversary, we opted to sit at a table inside. Pulpo Teleferic - This is def my fave pulpo dish in the Bay area. We order it every single time. The pulpo has a lovely char on the outside and the inside is as tender as it gets. While the octopus is the star of the show, the potato cream really sets this dish apart. It's so luscious and delicious that I'd order it as a separate dish if that were an option. We scooped up every last drop. Gambas Al Ajillo - The shrimp were jumbo, sweet and super fresh. They're served in a generous amount of garlicky olive oil and topped with garlic chips. Tip: if you're as eager to try bread dipped in the olive oil as we were, cleanse your palate first. Otherwise, it's hard to appreciate the subtle flavors of the garlicky shrimp infused olive oil. Wagyu Empanadas - This is the only dish we wouldn't order again. It was tasty, but for the price, I'd rather try a different dish next time. The wagyu filling was delish, but I didn't care for the oily looking fried wonton wrapper. The manchego chips were pretty, but I'd eat them separately. Otherwise, they fall off the empanada and the manchego flavor gets lost in the bite. Iberico Paella - Mixed feelings about this dish. I was super excited to try it after our waiter removed the cover with a flourish that accentuated its smokey, nutty scent. It was indeed very tasty, but the smokiness overshadowed any nutty flavor of the Iberico, which was the point. Also, the soccarrat we requested was completely missing. I still thought it was a good dish, but my husband would have preferred a paella with a balance of "surf" and "turf". We'll prob order a different paella next time. (We enjoy the Paella Negra more.) Barceloneta Sangria - I rarely drink, but after the manager poured a sample shot of this sangria into my mouth (yes, you read that right), I couldn't resist ordering a full glass. It was fruity, ice cold and a perfect contrast to the richness of the food. At the end of the meal, we were so stuffed that we were ready to take the check, but the waitress surprised us with an anniversary dessert. I couldn't hear what she said it was, but my favorite part was the nutella-like chocolate they wrote "happy anniversary" with. It was a fantastic end to a fantastic meal, and we'll definitely be back again!
