Osteria Del Monte

When we arrived, we were seated immediately. After we were seated it took too long to get service, every waiter looked at us and then finally Vito arrived to take our drink order. Vito was a great server and I have no complaints about the way he preforms his job. When I went to pay, my card fell into the receipt book due to them being old and having a tear where you are supposed to place your card. I was under the deck and looking all over for my card, since it could not just get up and walk away. While I was down there my wife felt they were assuming we were trying to get out of paying our bill, which was a little insulting. She said once she pulled out her card to pay, everyone finally joined in the search for the missing card. We were unable to find it until the next morning when we came back and I assumed it had to be in the booklet somehow. I do have a word of advice for the servers, since I was a server and a bartender for high end restaurants I might just be qualified enough. When a customer is inconvenienced due to the company you work for not taking preventative measures, especially something as serious as losing a card; do not make them feel rushed out of the door. Overall the food was very good, the drinks were good and our server was great. I will recommend this place to friends when they are in the area, and I will be giving this place another try sometime in the future.

Can you say “Hurry up and leave”? I’ve never felt so rushed when eating a “supposedly” high end meal. And NEVER ask for spaghetti and meatballs at an Italian Restaurant. They will look at you like you’ve lost it! So I got the spaghetti and meat sauce and like the service, it was chef-boy-ardee at best…. My recommendation is, drive on by! From where we are, Micha’s and the Library are just a short drive away and their meals and service are par EXCELLENT!!!!

We had reservations so we were seated immediately. As soon as we were seated water and bread were served. Our waiter immediately appeared and asked about drinks. When we chose a bottle of wine other than the featured wine he suggested our waiter immediately walked off. Shortly after he returned and brought our wine choice and asked for our order. We were not informed of any specials. Our food came out quickly, actually too soon. We felt VERY RUSHED. As we were finishing we heard our waiter informing the table next to us of the specials. All in all we were VERY disappointed. We were rushed through a meal which should have been an enjoyable experience. Also we were both disappointed in our meals. The veal nor the spaghetti was worth ordering again. We would like to give it another chance but we were very disappointed in our first experience.

Mediocre at best, both food and service. It began with our reserved table being given away and our waiting 30 minutes to be seated. Busboys were great and quickly set up bread and water, and then we waited. A server, we thought, asked if we had heard the specials. Answered no, and then he asked if we wanted to. Mind you, still only water. Another server eventually asked what we wanted and took the order. Last we saw of him until the end. Asked the busboy for a drink who quickly flagged down a floor manager, we think, who took the order. It never came. Asked again and it was brought. Food came, served well by busboys. Not bad, but not great. Busboys and bartender were great. Atmosphere very nice. From there, pretty average overall. Not worth the price. Won’t be back.
