Monti Restaurant, 5 Stars Review Design
Perfect

"It’s not often now days that you find a traditional family run restaurant. This place was perfect. You had the mum and son, his wife and even the little grandson early in the evening. Also an older couple who I believe would have been parents of the main lady"

Impeccable

"Had a faultless meal! Came for my Mum's birthday and we went for the lot - starter, mains and dessert! Reasonably priced for the quality of the food and drinks. Service was impeccable and friendly, a true family owned business!"
