"Now THIS is an Italian restaurant nothing pretentious, nothing gimmicky, just amazingly well cooked, super tasty Italian food. The restaurant is lovely, homely and intimate, and the staff couldn 't be more welcoming and comforting. But all that is just the cherry on top of what it an amazing menu regardless of your tastes, there 's something on the menu for you, and it 's all cooked to the highest quality, with super fresh and excellent quality ingredients. There 's classic Italian pasta, meat and fish dishes, pizzas, as well as some more contemporary choices. My partner had the Sautéed Argentinian king Prawns in a garlicky sauce to start, followed by the Cannelloni di Pesce (seafood Cannelloni), both of which were sublime, the prawns were huge, the fish fresh, and nothing lacked in quantity, to the point she couldn 't finish the Cannelloni. I had the Cappesante Seared scallops, and some of the best scallops I 've ever had to be sure, and I 've had A LOT of scallops (unfortunately missed a photo of this one), followed by the Porgi l’artra Guancia a slow braised Ox cheek, served on a bed of creamy mash with a sauce and roasted vegetabled. The menu states, try it to believe it’s deliciousness! and I 'm still finding it hard to believe just how delicious it was genuinely a dish you 'll remember for a lifetime. Then we just finished it all off with a panacotta, which even that, as simple as it was, was perfectly made and presented! In short, we 'll be back soon, and time and time again; there 's nothing much we could find fault with in Monti 's, nothing at all..."

very cozy, wonderfully decorated small Italian restaurant with friendly staff and a large selection of dining. the ambiente is large and during peak times it can be occupied. love music occasionally offered. recommended for only one night or more business-oriented lunch.

First time here last night and was completely wowed by both the quality of the food and the service. Nothing I could fault at all with this restaurant. Cannot wait to return and dine here again. Lovely setting inside, attentive and knowledgeable waiting staff and 10 out of 10 food. This is London quality in Southend.
