What people say, in short
Diners recommend Monte's Trattoria as an old-school Italian-American option in Greenwich Village. Two praise the atmosphere, one considers it quieter than an alternative, and one finds the food decent rather than exceptional. A visitor reports a successful meal with family. The appeal in these accounts is traditional atmosphere rather than trend-driven dining.
