Entering Mare E Monti Trattoria on Wall Street, I got the feeling of an intimate rustic atmosphere. A friendly server who pointed us to our table greeted me promptly. My husband and I headed over to join friends who had already arrived. Our table and companions for the evening was quite large with around 14 people. The two servers assigned to us worked together nicely to make sure we were taken care of. I felt the service throughout the evening was good and prompt.
I am a huge fan of red sangria and after asking if they could make me one I ordered one and was nicely surprised when I tried it. I would go back there just to have their sangria again.
It was hard to choose from the menu because I found so many menu options to my liking but I finally settled on the entree called “Gamberi Andrea” it was a combination of Sautéed jumbo shrimp, cracked black pepper, baby spinach, roasted garlic all mixed into a vodka rosa sauce. This was served with a choice of pasta and for a few dollars more I was able to choose from one of the two home made pasta. I chose the pappardelle. The other homemade pasta was spaghetti. The sauce in this dish was truly amazing. Just that right amount of cream to go with the tomato base. I found myself eating my whole dish of pasta and shrimp. The portions are nice sized here too. A bit large but I expect that when I am ordering pasta. The dish had a small spice to it but nothing the average person would not enjoy. I enjoyed it immensely and would go back and order it again.
