We made reservations but I think because we went on a Wednesday evening, it wasn't super necessary. Our waiter was nice, attentive. They have decent wines on the menu and overall, the menu isn't too pricey. My husband had the margherita pizza and I had the Cioppino. He enjoyed his pizza. I loved my dish! It felt fresh and wasn't overly heavy. The presentation was nice, too.

We went on a Friday night at 5:30 there was a large party in one room, but we were placed in…read moreanother which had plenty of open tables. The place itself is big and very open and has a sophisticated feel to it that is still welcoming. Our waiter was extremely nice and he even made sure to take our order before the large party which was thoughtful. When you sat down everyone got a cup of ice water which they filled regularly. We ordered Arancini for an appetizer which came out quickly. It tasted amazing and the outside had a nice crunch while the inside was soft. The bread and olive oil was good too, the bread was warm and cut into small pieces which made it easier to dip. The oil also had balsamic vinger which really enhanced the flavor. For mains I got Mushroom Garlic Alfredo, it was not heavy on the garlic flavor at all. The mushrooms were amazing and there were plenty of them. The pasta tasted light and not like I was eating a lot of it, the sauce was also very creamy. For size I ate about half and brought the rest home. It also came with garlic bread which I took a bite of and was good, but I wanted room to eat the pasta. Overall, this place was fantastic and I 100% recommend it. The prices are very reasonable for what you get and service is also great. I loved my pasta and the the Arancini and so did everyone else at my table.

My wife and I were craving Italian food and didn't want to cook. We put our thinking caps on and…read moredecided to head over to one of our favorite restaurants, Moni's Pasta & Pizza. Fortunately, it's only a short 10-minute drive from home. Moni's has a wonderful vibe of a local neighborhood restaurant. It's not fancy, which wouldn't fit it, but comfortable to just sit and enjoy a great meal with friends or family. They do have a couple of private rooms. , Moni's is much like the "Cheers" bar on TV. They have a very loyal clientele. Moni and his wife Amy, know everyone who comes in. If they don't know you, they'll get to know you very quickly. After being seated by Amy and, of course, chatting to find out what's been going on, our server, AJ, also welcomed us to Moni's and took our drink orders. Moni's is BYOB; you'll see many of their patrons bringing wine to accompany their dinners. My wife and I ordered a couple of iced teas and a bowl of their seasoned dipping sauce. I love dipping Moni's freshly baked rolls in it. It's "rich" with lots of chopped fresh garlic. Yummy! My wife ordered her "regular" Chicken Parmesan, her favorite. Sometimes she orders the lasagna, but today was a Chicken Parm day. I decided to order the Pasta Combo, which includes Lasagna, Stuffed Shells, and a Manicotti in our delicious homemade marinara sauce, topped with mozzarella cheese. It included three of my baked favorites. Shortly, fresh-baked rolls and butter, along with the olive oil dipping sauce and our salads topped with Moni's famous red Italian Dressings. I love Moni's salads, which are normally served on chilled plates. You'll find the restaurant's dressing at many other restaurants that Moni has helped to get started. Amy and Moni have very big hearts. Just as we were finishing our salads, deliciousness arrived at our table. Note, come hungry, there's a lot of doggie bags requested when patrons can't finish their entrees. My wife and I have to watch ourselves so we don't eat too much bread. It's hard to resist those fresh-baked rolls. Our two entrees were SO delicious, just like you'd expect from your family kitchen. Thank you, AJ, Moni, and Amy, for an enjoyable, relaxing visit. We'll see all again very soon.

We already planned our next visit and what we will try new time.

(We ate before I thought of pictures ) I ordered manicotti with Alfredo sauce and he ordered the sausage pepper platter. Mine was super rich and creamy and he said his tasted authentic.

When I mentioned it to the server, she responded with an attitude, saying, "we cook it al dente." I understand that al dente is the intended style, but this was much firmer than expected. I asked if it could be cooked a little longer. The server said it would take about five minutes, but when the dish came back, the texture was exactly the same. It didn't seem like anything had been changed. What made the experience even more disappointing was the service. The server never came back to check if the recooked dish was satisfactory. Instead, she only stopped by to ask if I wanted a to-go box. I've dined at this restaurant several times before and have always had a good experience, which makes this visit especially disappointing. Unfortunately, this was the worst experience I've had here and the lack of professionalism and customer service.
