Review content:
We looked forward to eating at Monica's as it came recommended by a friend who enjoyed the food. We called ahead & made a reservation for 8:00 pm. They said we were late when we arrived even though we thought we were early as they had the res. for 7:00. This was the start of our evening. We were seated & the waitress was excellent. We ordered a bottle of Prosecco, 2 appetizers, which were delicious, & asked about the risotto, one of my favorite dishes. The risotto was so salty that I couldn't eat it. The waitress asked me if I was enjoying my food & I had to say ""no"". It was sent back & I ordered a pasta dish to take it's place. At the end of the meal we received our bill. They charged us 38.00 for the pasta replacement & also for the risotto which my husband wasn't enjoying but didn't have the heart to send back. We were shocked but paid the bill. On the way out we checked the posted menu & the most expensive item was a steak for $28.00. I guess they took us for a ride. I wish we had gone back in and questioned the bill. I felt like I had already drawn enough attention to ourselves by sending back the dish. I know that any decent restaurant with those price points should be gracious and charge the price of what a pasta or rice dish was listed on the menu & not take advantage of us because we were out-of-towners. We could have ordered the fixed price meal for $40.00 which included my replacement dish plus 2 others. We are from the S.F. Bay area so we know about food. My brother is an executive chef & he told me that it wasn't the chef who was offended by sending the dish back but the ""front of the house"". I hope this is helpful information to those visiting & wanting a good meal in the North End. If the cost of the meal is of any concern to you be sure & ask how much the specials are as they didn't tell us. They apparently called our dishes ""specials"". They were specials all right!
Pros: appetizer's were good, Prosecco good
Cons: over-priced, didn't tell us price of ""specials"", reservationist wrote down wrong time,reservation placed but listed a
