What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Il Moncalvo is consistently praised for its exquisite, artfully presented cuisine that blends tradition with innovation. Diners rave about the impeccable service, extensive wine list, and the unique ambiance of dining within a historic abbey. While overwhelmingly positive, some may find the experience to be more formal.
"Such a hidden gem of a restaurant. We walked in off the street with no expectations and were totally wowed. The service, food and environment were all exceptional and of really high quality. Furthermore, an additional bonus was that it was really reasonable price such as €6 for a glass of wine and bottles ranging form €19/20. Far exceeded expectations and would very highly recommend."
