| - I've known the Brothers Montesano for a number of year. My wife and I used to go to their larger restaurant on the west side when it was still open. Whenever we go here, we are literally treated like family. We've been eating Montesano's food for years and we have developed our favorite dishes to the point where we almost always go for the same stuff. Regardless, they use fresh ingredients in everything they make. Its worth waiting the extra 5 minutes to have fresh food.
The scary part, dessert is the first thing you see when you walk in the door and the last thing you see when you leave. Its a slippery slope! The desserts here are all very large and can more than likely be split between 2 people. Don't be fooled, even after you've eaten a huge plate of baked ziti, you will STILL want to chow on one of these amazing looking desserts. Go with your gut on this. My wife loves chocolate, but I am weird and am not a huge choco fan. If you just want some light chocolate, or none at all, go for the cannoli. You can get it plain, or with chocolate chips. And they put it together right when you order it. Never order a pre-filled cannoli, thats weak!
I love this place, but I often wish their location was larger. These guys have a huge fan base and on some nights, it gets crazy just at the front door. The line here can pretty long. So hit this place on off nights, as Friday and Saturday night may drive you crazy. Regardless, try the Sicilian pizza and any pasta baked in the oven.
