Almost Comical – As a resturant owner I found it almost comical that this place can survive. I guess when your clientel is mostly from out of town you dont have to concern yourself with repeat bussiness. Do yourself a favor and read the reviews of this place and believe every word of the bad ones.
One of the best restaurants in Boston! – I'm not sure where the other reviewers are coming from, but Monica's is one of the best restaurants in the North End by far. And I'm a foodie. The food is excellent, not the plain old Italian fare you find at most places in the North End. George and his staff are great and innovative chefs. My experience with the staff is that they are friendly, and very attentive. Take it from a long-time resident from the North End...Monica's is easily one of the best restaurants in Boston!

HORRIBLE!!! Run from this place..... – If I could have selected ZERO stars I would have! This place won't last. Pretentious & rude people with no restaurant/service experience run this place. When I arrived, I held the door open for a woman pushing a baby carriage and 3 other women on their way out. The host (who is an incredibly rude, no class man) literally yelled at me to shut the door. Seconds later, we told him we had reservations and he said "well you are going to have to wait at least 15 minutes" - we waited at the ba... read more
Not worth you time – I wouldnt think twice about returning here if this was the last place on earth to eat. Service is horrible. Food took forever to come. I think after waiting about an hour and a half for a table, we only had to wait another 40-45 mins for our food to arrive. I would strongly suggest another place to dine, unless you have all night to kill and you dont mind waiting forever for anything!
Worst experience with an owner EVER – I dined with 7 friends of mine the night of Sept. 19 2009 at Monica's Restaurant in the North End. After a dinner with extremely poor service (grant it it was a busy night) we decided that the "20% auto-grat" on the bill was a little ridiculous. We paid the bill for the food and drinks in full and did not pay $10 of the $80 or so tip. I received a phone call half an hour later (they had my number from the reservation) that we had shorted them $20 on the bill and if they could charge that... read more
Total Arrogance – There is nothing unique or special about Monica's. The staff is completely full of themselves with their phony Italian accents, lack of wine expertise (especially when detecting faults is a wine), and the food is less than adequate. This is the last time I speak of Monica's!
Disappointing experience, order appetizers only! – We looked forward to eating at Monica's as it came recommended by a friend who enjoyed the food. We called ahead & made a reservation for 8:00 pm. They said we were late when we arrived even though we thought we were early as they had the res. for 7:00. This was the start of our evening. We were seated & the waitress was excellent. We ordered a bottle of Prosecco, 2 appetizers, which were delicious, & asked about the risotto, one of my favorite dishes. The risotto was so sal... read more
Great food! – I have been to Monica's a few times and the food was terrific! From the salads to the sweet sausage appetizer they were all so good. I have also thoroughly enjoyed the Linguine with white clam sauce. I frequently order this at restaurants and am usually disappointed. Monica's was some of the best i've had! This restaurant isn't always mentioned as the staple north end restaurants but i'd definitely recommend it!
Service ruined the meal and night – Food was good here, but the service ruined the entire experience. We had to wait even though we had reservations--that wasn't a big deal, but the host was very curt when addresing us when we entered. During the meal, the wait staff treated us like we were dumb even when we were asking conversational questions ("yes, we ONLY serve Italian wines..."). After the meal was over, the host started shouting and cursing (!) at a member of our party when our party member requested to see the owner t... read more
