Friends ordered the salmon and mushroom ravioli and both really enjoyed their meals. Service was prompt, friendly and attentive. Not much to look at from outside nestled in a tight residential neighborhood with limited street parking but complimentary valet service. Going inside of the restaurant ,however, the space is much more upscale and very nice. Prices were what I would expect for an upscale menu of this quality with most entrees between $25 and $40. I look forward to returning!

Mare E Monti - Exceptional Authentic Italian & Seafood Pasta Spot in Worcester, MA…read more Mare E Monti is an exceptional Italian gem -- probably home to the best seafood pasta I've ever had. I was in town ahead of a half marathon near Hampton Beach on Sunday. After a long drive and a surprise call that my extended family was touring the East Coast nearby, we decided to meet halfway -- and Worcester made perfect sense. I booked a table for eight at 8 PM on Saturday. We miscounted our party, which led to about a 45-minute wait, but honestly, that just gave us more time to catch up. The interior strikes a lovely balance -- rustic yet modern, cozy yet romantic, and unmistakably Italian in feel. Starters We kicked off with two plates of Calamari Fritti -- classic native calamari, lightly fried and tossed with cherry peppers and a delicate butter sauce. Absolutely delicious; I had to restrain myself from finishing the whole plate. Complimentary garlic bread with olive oil was also served, and I stopped myself at 2-3 slices to save room for the race-fueling carbs to come. For salad, I chose the Insalata Casalinga -- crisp field greens, grape tomatoes, julienne carrots, cucumbers, red onion, and imported olives in a light vinaigrette. Simple, fresh, and highly recommended. The Main Event The real reason I chose Mare E Monti was simple: carb loading. I went with the Pasta con Cozze e Fagioli -- sautéed mussels in a garlic white wine sauce with diced tomatoes and cannellini beans, tossed with linguine. It was everything I'd hoped for: flavorful yet light, satisfying without being heavy. The mussels were tender, the beans added substance, and the pasta was perfectly cooked. Others at the table tried the Ravioli di Aragosta (lobster ravioli) on my recommendation. I snagged a bite -- and it was heavenly. Rich, delicate, and beautifully balanced. Final Thoughts Dinner here was the perfect pre-race meal -- nourishing without weighing me down. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the service attentive, and the food consistently excellent. Even parking was simple; I found easy street parking just around the corner (though valet is also available). Oh, and the next morning? I ran a personal best in my half marathon -- just over 1 hour and 20 minutes. I'd like to think the perfect plate of pasta helped fuel that finish. All in all, Mare E Monti is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine and standout seafood pasta in the Worcester area. I'll absolutely be back next time I'm in Massachusetts.

Disappointing Just…read morehave to tell a story here. Went in for our anniversary, got there early before the crowds arrived. We got a couple of special mixers and we ordered lobster ravioli and the pot roast special. Both were pretty, had better here before, but good. Here comes the kicker,the bartender who was very pleasant accidentally broke a wine glass into our food and drinks. Glass in our food and drinks. Offered to pour us new drinks and we accepted, but they should offer that to us. As for our food, we were about half done our meals, and all they did was offer us a half order of ravioli to take home. I actually refused at that point. Now the bartender ghosts us for the rest of our visit. We couldn't even get the bill. Now this is where I got irritated, they comped nothing. Offered us basically nothing and charged us for everything even this glass situation ruined our meal. Not even a free drink or a dessert. Nothing. All they offered to us was to replace food and drinks that we already ordered (they screwed up) and in the end paid full price for. Ruined our anniversary meal and all we wanted was an acknowledgment that the service got screwed up, not get ghosted. Sadly this was one of our favorite restaurants and we sadly won't be back. I gave this re-review 2 stars out of respect I have for this place in the past. I guess hospitality is dead. Good luck, thanks

I think it was so busy because there was a lounge with a live band playing upstairs. We ate in the dining room which had a nice warm atmosphere. We had bread with oil and spices which is always a nice way to start a meal. I asked about vegetarian options and based on our server's descriptions I decided to order the risotto. It was perfect- creamy with a nice texture to the rice and tasted delicious. Our server was excellent. You could tell he was a pro. Helpful and efficient but not intrusive. This is a lovely place for an intimate meal.

The ambiance of the restaurant is great, very warm rustic feel and I loved the look of the big windows at the back of the dining room with the springtime trees in bloom outside. Started with some cocktails and warm bread with olive oil. We decided on a margherita pizza to split as an appetizer along with some Parmesan fries. My boyfriend got gnocchi for his entree while I got eggplant Parmesan. Boyfriend really loved his gnocchi, he commented on how soft and pillowy it was and finished the whole bowl; he also gave me a bite of it and can also concur that the quality of the gnocchi they use is great. My eggplant parm was pretty good; not my favorite one that I've ever had, but still good. It's also a very sizable portion so I had plenty to take home. The pizza was probably the highlight of the meal for me, absolutely delicious and would definitely return for that pizza alone. We got a dessert special to go, and they also offer complimentary limoncello shots to finish off your time there. To top it all off, the service here was personable, attentive and overall excellent. This is definitely a place for us to always keep on our radar whenever we're in the area.
