I am surprised I have not been here sooner. Not Italian decorated at all. Just a normal restaurant & bar. I was pretty upset it took forever for anyone to realize my mom & I were even in the restaurant when they have a noise that goes off whenever someone arrives. Other guests had to let us know what to do. Everyone was weirded out. The waiter finally came out & just slammed us down menus. He was the least happiest waiter in my 29 years of life LOL. We ordered shrimp cocktail..amazing but you only get 6 shrimp FYI for $11.99. We also got cheesy garlic bread. That was awesome too. I loved the sauce. My mom got some pasta that wasn't good at all. Just pasta & sauce. No flavoring, no seasoning. I would never order it again. I got an old world pepperoni pizza that was a kids size. It reminded me of a lean cuisine pizza, pretty embarrassing if you ask me for $13. I would never order it again. If I was sharing that with someone I would have been mad with the size of it. They should warn people on the menu of the sizes. It just says "Pizzas" with the different flavors. I would try it again but there are so many other basic bar food places in Powell that are much more awesome. I wanted to ask the waiter what his problem was as we continued being so kind to him. It was clean inside.

This is a great Italian spot! The lasagna is our favorite. I also can't not get the wedding soup- I can't say enough good about that! Even though it can get pretty busy, we are always very kindly greeted and attended to. Worst case grab a bottle of wine and chill.

We went in on a weekday night, and to say it was so bad was an understatement. We were THE only humans in the entire place, and hour and a half before they closed. We ordered an appetizer - the cook brought it out with our dinner entrees. The app was burnt and we were told "I'll make another one if you want" - clearly they didn't want to. (Pretty sure he was a manager/owner). My meatball was frozen in the middle. My bfs lasagna was smothered in sauce to hide the terrible taste. It was so awkward i wish we honestly had just left when we walked in and there was no one there. Points for the server - she was so kind and spectacular. She said she wasnt a bartender, but still made us drinks. Hopefully she finds a great new workplace!!! I'm so sad because the original one was SO good.

Great dining for a Powell location that has a basic interior. Pleasantly surprised as I heard they do a lot takeout. We had a wonderful dinner for a modest price!! !

Standard sub-par italian at this place. If you need more to tell you, let's just say I could make the same thing at home.... and it would probably have taken half the amount of time and had twice as much flavor. Although I imagine this is "authentic italian" for some folks, I had one of their Highlighted "Signature Dishes", the chicken parmagiana and it tasted like penne and a jar of sauce I could get at the grocery store. The chicken was cooked well, but that's about all that I can say. The other dish we ordered was a linguine duo and the white clam sauce was flavorless, the meat sauce was just okay.Other than the food being average, the service was not half what I would have imagined in a place downtown of Powell... we waited at the hostess stand for 7 or so minutes before even being looked at, to which we were guided to a table and sat, without menus. The woman that sat us said "i'll be right back with menus for you" and then we didn't see another human for 20 minutes. Yes, I timed it. When the server came up, she immediately asked us if anyone had helped us, to which I mentioned our wait, and the fact that we were about to get up when she walked by. From there it seemed like they picked up their game, or slightly noticed something wasn't right, because we had 3 people check on us in the next 5 minutes. Our order was taken quickly, and our food was brought out in a timely manner. However, this was definitely not a quick dinner. And no bread was offered while we wait, either, which I found a little weird from an Italian restaurant.I won't be back, but I've learned my lesson and I'm glad I gave it a try for a new-er-ish place in the suburbs.

So my brother and his kid came into town and wanted pasta. Unfortunately Powell doesn't have too many reasonable options (Vittoria is great, but pricey for a quick bite) so I grudgingly offered up Monte Carlo hoping things had turned around. I was wrong. My son accompanied them and had the meatball sub. He said it tasted like store bought sauce. Nephew had the linguine and clam sauce and found that it had no taste. None at all. My brother had the wedding soup and said it was great. As was the garlic bread. Service was prompt and attentive but once again, they seemed to have use all the banana peppers in the building for my brother's sausage and peppers.

Monte Carlo has to be my favorite restaurant of all time! The food is absolutely amazing, the house-made sauce is addicting! I would recommend the garlic bread as a starter, the sweet italian salad, and the lasagna or trio as an entre! The prices are also great. Definitely try this hidden gem!

Food - bad to bland. Next time just stop by the grocery and have frozen food at home. Service - as bad if not worse than the food.

Wasted time to drive there and order never started. Not the first time. Gentleman was not very pleasant. Maybe should find something else to do that doesn't involve getting things done in timely manner. Also, if you hate your job so much, maybe find something that fits your personality

Awful food! Overcooked pasta in jarred sauce. Bread was heated in the microwave. We were the only people in the restaurant and almost left because service was so slow.
