Monzú Italian Oven + Bar

The restaurant is a Hidden Gem nestled on the corner of Jones and Flamingo. From the outside you would not know what a gem this is once you enter the restaurant. Upon entering the restaurant it's rustic looking and high rafters make it a unique spot and has such an Italian vibe it is something that you need to experience. We were greeted by the host who checked for our reservation and we receded by a lovely young man from Argentina named Ozzy. He explained the restaurant what it was about and that everything the restaurant meant as far as Italian dining. We were shortly greeted after that by our waiter Jack, very very knowledgeable about the menu and everything that you needed to make your dining experience outstanding. We had found out about this gem from a Instagram influencer named Bran

We tried a few different things at Monzu and overall had a solid experience. For appetizers, we ordered the polpo and the artichoke. The polpo was cooked perfectly, tender and not chewy at all, which is not easy to execute. The artichoke was good, but I’m just not an artichoke person. I always forget how much effort goes into eating them and never quite know the “right” way to tackle one, so that’s entirely personal preference. The bread was okay. After the way our server hyped it up, I was expecting something a little more impressive, so it didn’t quite live up to the buildup for me. The carbonara was phenomenal. 10/10 and absolutely worth coming back for. My only small critique is that a few of the slivers of meat leaned a bit salty, but overall it was excellent. The tagliatelle was g

Made reservations online for our 5th year anniversary, as this place was recommended by some friends; noting that they come here every special date and the restaurant always made it special. Got to the restaurant early, got seated, they asked if we were celebrating anything, we mentioned the anniversary, but nothing came of it. We didnt experience anything like our friends did. Got sat down immediately and water was brought, sourdough was brought to us about 3min in, but our server didn't get to us till about 5-7min later. We ordered the Primi "3 course" meal, that was the only "experience" for us. The portion sizes for the main menu items excluding the chef course meal has pretty decent portions. The ultraboard was nice, something small to start off with, the onion salad was pretty goo

It was a great evening. We went for my 60th birthday party. And we reserved the back room where they have wine stacked to the ceiling. Atmosphere was amazing. The service was impeccable that fresh sourdough bread is amazing too. My husband and I have been to Italy a couple times and the food is definitely truly honest to goodness Italian food. The owner of the restaurant came in to say hello while we were having dinner and everyone in the restaurant saying happy birthday to me! The atmosphere is just amazing. I can’t say enough about this place.

Last night was our anniversary dinner, and I was a bit nervous about choosing the right place. However, I knew this restaurant was my boyfriend’s favorite, and it did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a wonderful host and seated in a lovely area with perfect lighting that set the tone for the evening. Our server, Bruno, was exceptional—attentive, timely, and very knowledgeable about the menu and food selections. The staff was incredibly kind and thoughtful in helping us celebrate our anniversary, even surprising us with a complimentary glass of wine, which was such a nice touch. Thank you, Bruno, for making our two-year anniversary such a memorable and special experience. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great service and a wonderful at
