Since 1918, this
Village trattoria has weathered the nouvelle-Italian storms and the
coming of Mario Batali and continues to serve its traditional brand
of old-world fare in a neighborhood still charmingly populated by
cafes that predate Starbucks. All the familiar bases are covered,
from pastina en brodo and zuppa di pesce to chicken parmigiana,
tortellini alla romana, and on Mondays, osso buco alla Milanese. |
The doughboys were marching home from World War I when
Monte’s Italian Restaurant opened in 1918. It’s still doing
business on Macdougal Street in the heart of Greenwich
Village, and its menu heading still rings true: It reads, “Monte’s of
Greenwich Village since 1918) where you will find a friendly and cozy
atmosphere, superb homemade pasta, and seafood specialties. One of
the best Italian restaurants in the Village.”
That says it all. Monte’s, the quintessential Italian Villager, is a
snug, walk-down spot with white table cloths.....More |
