    This is the best Italian restaurant I’ve ever been to. Our group of 4 was each blown away with our entrees and each one was the best version of that food I’d ever tasted. Highly recommended the tortellini with pancetta and peas and the meatballs. The short rib ravioli and lamb specials were also incredible. A small, intimate restaurant, this was the perfect place to celebrate my wife’s birthday!

    We had received gift certificates from a contractor that we worked with for this restaurant around 2019. Obviously the restaurant was closed in 2020 during 2020. We moved out of town and decided we were going go there for a grandmother‘s 75th birthday and took the gift certificate that we had with us When we received the bill we were told that the gift certificates were counterfeit and they would not accept them and they were from too long ago as far as I know Washington state has no expiration on gift certificates my husband not wanting to cause a scene at his mother’s birthday just gave them the gift certificates and paid the Bill so essentially the dinner ended up being almost $400 for two between the gift certificates he gave them and the money he paid for the dinner. I think this is a horribly bad business practice, especially considering the owner himself was the one involved in the checkout process.

    Nice ambiance for a relaxed date night. Definitely plan to make a reservation...the dining room was tiny and it seemed like most tables would stay for 2 hours, so not much turnover. We could easily hear each other speak, which was a huge plus. The food was very good and portions were generously sized. We especially liked the antipasto platter which had a larger than normal variety of items. Waiter service was friendly, but a little slow. Water service was great, though..our glasses were never more than half empty. We would have liked suggestions for wine pairing, but that did not seem to be a focus here. All in all, a great night out close to home and fairly priced. We will be back.

    We’ve been coming to Montalcino’s for over 10 years and can say it’s still an amazing gem of a place that we still love so much. The food, the ambiance, the staff are all so consistent and good. Can’t think of a single dish we wouldn’t order again - love all their risotos and seafood dishes. We try at least one of whatever their specials are for the evening - so good each and every time. We almost never order dessert normally but we can’t pass up Montalcino’s canoles :) Highly recommend this place.
