Ardit is an amazing waiter. I think this is the best Italian Restaurant in Texas . Chicken parmigiana was amazing, lamp chops also . Can’t wait to be back ☝️
Best Italian food, ever!! Best owner and waiter!
Me and my partner decided to have dinner last night and couldn’t figure out what spot was next on our list. We had a great craving for pasta and have before had success with finding good authentic Italian restaurants in San Antonio (surprisingly). We stumbled across Mare E Monte on Google and the reviews were exceptional and the pictures looked up to par to match. When we arrived the restaurant itself wasn’t what I was expecting, in all the good ways though! It was a newly opened brick and mortar style establishment and we were very impressed from the minute we walked in. Mind you I had called ahead to ask if service animals were allowed and without hesitation Prince, the owner said yes, my pup could come along. Once we sat down the whole staff was very attentive and asked plenty of questions. They made us feel right at home and asked for our honest feedback with everything being brought out. We ordered the Calamari all’Arrabbiata which was hot, fresh, held its crispiness when tossed in the marinara. They did give us complimentary wine (white or red) on them since they cannot sell any beer, wine or liquor for the time being. It was amazing and great touch to our date. I ordered the shrimp fettuccine, my partner ordered chicken penne Alfredo, Must we say both of those dishes did not disappoint whatsoever. the sauce was tasted homemade, light, buttery, the shrimp and chicken were cooked perfectly. They were hot, they were fresh, and we actually ate so fast that by the time we were full our plates were still hot! Not to mention the bread and oil duo hit the spot as well. Ardit, out waiter was checking on us consistently making sure everything was good, our cups were full, and our food was to our liking. *AND THEY GAVE US FREE DESSERT ON THEM!!* I hope this restaurant has a successful journey here in San Antonio. I can definitely see good things coming from such hard work. Check them out and show them some love. They are going to blow up. Shoutout Prince and his whole team.
This place was awesome! My family and I came here randomly one night and I’m so glad we did! The food was delicious, homemade and felt authentic, the staff was so kind and welcoming, and the inside is so cozy and cute. If you’re wanting great food and supporting locals, come here!
EVERYTHING was perfect. Food tasteful and fresh. The service was outstanding, from the way we were welcomed to the attention during dinner. Clean place and friendly staff. Atmosphere was lovely, simple yet beautiful decor and instrumental music on the background. We will certainly return. Highly recommend for a nice date or family dinner. Parking: Parking available at close proximity. Kid-friendliness: My child with special needs was treated very respectfully and with care.
fresh made food from local providers, ignite the smells that induce the tastebuds towards perfection. started with the fried ravioli, followed up with the most awesome lasagna, and finished with the strawberry tiramisu and americano. a must stop
We love this place! Food, service, atmosphere was amazing. Some of the best Italian food I’ve ever eaten!
