Disclaimer: this visit was on Mother's Day so we understood that it would be crowded with longer wait time. First time in restaurant. The tables are packed claustrophobic tight. Or table was smack up against the side of the salad bar. I was afraid my hair would get in the lettuce. Every time someone walked past our table they bumped into the chairs. Payment is No cards, cash/check only and this info is NOT published anywhere but on a notecard taped to the cash register which was blocked from view as we were seated. Not on the door, not on the website. I see it's here in the comments on Yelp, but I had poor signal and didn't do a review search, just looked at the website. Poor treatment by owners - attitude was not "I'm sorry for your poor experience" but "I'm sorry you're complaining, get lost." Carry out orders and friends and locals seemed to receive priority service. Mediocre, overpriced food. "Baked" pasta dish was runny, mozzarella barely melted, meat sauce with barely any meat, way too sweet. Garlic bread with very little garlic. Pizza crust was hard, flavorless, over cooked on edges. Sauce (to me) has a weird chemical-like taste. Toppings were not fresh, mushrooms were canned, pizza was under cooked in the middle. Wait time - it was one hour until someone told us it was ready to come out in a couple of minutes..... then it actually was another 30 minutes or more later, during which the waiter avoided us like the plague until we flagged him down and asked when our food would be out, then another ten minutes after that. After reading reviews, it would seem that the time deception is a sanctioned tactic. Finally, after going to the car, retrieving an old checkbook, and writing a check with a generous tip in spite of the deficiencies, we politely expressed that they should publish their payment policy and how wait time was misrepresented. Received a very curt response. Left an honest comment on the community fb page and was threatened, cursed, and called every name in the book by most of the friendly "locals." But hey, social media, right? The rudeness on a busy day could have been easier to forgive if everything else had been five star, but the food really isn't worth the price and the wait. And jeez, Monticello....I'm afraid to drive through town, much less eat at this restaurant again.

I love their sausage, but any pizza that we order is obviously so good that we all end up eating way beyond the "I am so full" point! Going to Monicals is a must every time we visit the area, we get our large family together and are seated in the back area that always looks clean and new. The owner is a wonderful man who always makes a point to come out and say Hello. The service is prompt even though they are always packed, the pizza is consistently so awesome that we always order more than we need so that we can take the rest home to eat a couple of "late nights" later. We order several of the "Family Pleaser"s which include a big bowl of their "signature" salad and pitcher of soda each. I say "signature" salad, because it may sound simple, in a time where salads are comprised of mixed greens and elegant ingredients. It's simply a mix of iceberg lettuce (that's cut, instead of torn, extremely crisply shredded) and shreds of carrots & Colby cheese. It is a perfect pairing with the taste of the pizza, especially with their special Creamy Italian or iconic "Sweet & Tart" dressing (which is like a French dressing). I'm not a fan-minority, either because people order this dressing from Monicals.com and even Amazon. (Yes, we have, too.) (They do have Ranch dressing as well. Their soda products are Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Sierra Mist and Mountain Dew, and they even have cute candy jars by the register. See my photos, including the open pizza oven area and wonderful back dining area. The quaint restroom is always clean as well.)

When we arrived we were seated right away but it was buzzing with locals and pick ups (good sign, right?!) We really enjoyed looking at all of the local memorabilia on the walls and our service was EXCELLENT! The woman that served our table was very friendly, upbeat, and knew exactly how to take care of her guests. Our food came out very quickly and we enjoyed all of it. We had the 12" thin crust pepperoni pizza and some garlic bread. Next time we'd like to try either the deep dish or some of the house special pizzas. I was pretty shocked to see that our total was over $45 for the 12" pizza, bread, and two drinks with tip. But really everything else made it worth it. And we got a slice of the most delicious almond cake on the way out for free - score!

They also have a few others most definitely worth coming back to try. We loved the place and will be returning soon to sample other things. Anyway, we should have stopped by sooner, but, we got here. Our server was really pleasant and helpful and she kindly hooked us up with side salads even though the kitchen part of the restaurant was closed and it was down to late night pizza service!

I decided to go into the pizza shop to ask him why he told me "I don't understand I can't make that" in an agitated tone and then hung up when all I asked was for a sausage pizza and cheese pizza. He looked startled that I questioned him in person and he stated that the phones weren't working (he always uses this as an excuse for being rude to customers over the phone). Even if your phones aren't working, then you need to tell me that instead of being rude and hanging up. We have lived in this town for a long time and the town has always talked about how the owner is very kind or very very rude to his customers. Padano's, we will never order from you again.

My absolute favorite thing about this place was that if you were waiting for a table they let you place your pizza order while you were still waiting which minimizes how long you're sitting around waiting for your pizza once you do get the table. 2nd favorite thing is the pasta looked really really really good. We mostly had pizza and apps but the next time I go back I'm definitely trying some of the pasta.
