Monte’s at the Manor brings a timeless Italian dining experience to Montauk, blending classic recipes, refined cocktails, and warm hospitality in a setting that feels both historic and intimate. If you're looking for a break from the usual beach-town casual spots, this is the place to savor a more polished, romantic evening.
Ambiance
Set inside a charming manor-style building, the atmosphere at Monte’s is cozy, elegant, and unmistakably old-world. Soft lighting, rustic wood touches, and a relaxed dining pace create a quiet sophistication without losing Montauk’s coastal soul. It’s a go-to choice for date nights, family celebrations, or anyone craving a slower, more intimate meal after a long day by the water.
Food Highlights
Monte’s menu is rooted in traditional Italian comfort with a Montauk emphasis on freshness. Start with the burrata or fried calamari, both simple but impeccably executed. Their homemade pasta dishes, especially the pappardelle with braised short rib or linguine with clams, are standout plates—rich, balanced, and deeply flavorful.
Seafood lovers should not miss the branzino or the lobster fra diavolo, two dishes that combine coastal ingredients with Italian technique. Meat eaters will appreciate the veal chop Milanese or filet mignon, which arrive generously portioned and perfectly cooked. Portions here feel just right: upscale but satisfying.
Drinks to Try
The cocktail list leans classic with Italian influence. The Aperol spritz is bright and refreshing, while the Negroni is smooth and well-balanced. For wine lovers, the curated Italian selections pair beautifully with pasta and seafood—ask the staff for recommendations, as they’re known for their thoughtful pairing suggestions.
