We received exceptional service at Il Monello, undoubtedly the best we encountered during our three days in New York City. However, regrettably, that was the only highlight of our experience. The food, unfortunately, left much to be desired, with bland flavors that lacked the culinary expertise one would expect. Frankly, I could prepare a tastier pasta dish myself.
The calamari, in particular, seemed to come from a frozen batch, lacking the freshness and flavor that we anticipated. Additionally, the inclusion of an automatic gratuity left us perplexed. Perhaps it should be labeled as a service charge instead, as we believed gratuity was meant to be based on the quality of service received. This unexpected charge further dampened our overall impression.

Sabrina was amazing. She was the bartender during my visit and she was great. Her and her coworkers are friendly and personable.
