We had lunch here for Fathers Day 2024. Our booking was for 12:15, our Entree was served within 5 minutes, our mains 10 minutes, my dessert, within 5 minutes of ordering. The food was hot and tasty, the waiting staff attentive and pleasant. This is our fourth visit, and we will be back.

Had my daughter’s first birthday in the function room today, not only was the space a perfect size the food was incredible. So many compliments from our guests about the food and bar service. The food was very generous in portions, lots to even take home. Couldn’t recommend more highly. Thanks again !!

Thank you so much for making my son's Confirmation celebration absolutely perfect on 17 August 2024. The ambience with the Italian music and fireplace was fantastic. My guests even commented on how good the ambience was. The food was delicious and had generous servings. The drinks were served in a professional manner and were spot on. Overall, we had a lovely afternoon and will definitely be back for other functions.

Place has old time atmosphere, the stairs are a killer, they are unsafe the treads are about 100 mm to short.

I really enjoyed dining at Monzarella. The service was A1 (I esp loved hearing the Authentic Italian accented waiter speak!), food was perfect and the wine selection here is fantastic. Will be making this restaurant a regular for us.

Just ordered a Hawaiian pizza there - congratulations! They almost managed to kill me, never in my life have I seen or eaten anything so bad. unfortunately you can't give this place less than one star. It's a shame that you can claim money back for something like this...Never recommend buying anything there!

First visit for lunch made me forget what miserable weather was being dished up outside, with the great food being served inside - the Pasta Al Carne came out sizzling & with decent flavour. Great to know a quality Italian restaurant is in town.

Fabulous venue with a very warm roaring fire on a nasty day weather wise. Parking was easy too. 17 people attended this birthday lunch, and I polled everyone one of them to ask how their food was. Every one of them said that the menu choice was extraordinary and the dishes extremely generous in size. ALL of the dishes were praised highly by the attendees and myself. No variation was too hard for the staff to do, and the meals arrived very quickly. Hoping your business succeeds in this busy eating precinct. You are doing everything to the highest possible standard, so I hope you are rewarded for your efforts. I will certainly be back. Cheers Monzarella

Went to the Legian restaurant ordered a bolognaise because ran out of the ragu pasta can’t believe the chef allowed a pasta sauce like I had can’t explain how bad it was place is busy so not sure what happened but was the worst sauce I’ve ever had would be interesting if people actually enjoyed it but won’t try again as the local bars serve a better pasta

First time visiting this restaurant, will definitely be back, quality food at affordable prices, only small point to mention is you are very squashed in when siting in the dining area to the left when you walk in

We recently held our daughter's first birthday in Monzarella's upstairs function space. The service on the day was outstanding and the team were fantastic to deal with in the lead-up to the event. We had so many compliments on the food provided too! Highly recommend.

First time we had dinner there. Service was friendly, prompt and our grilled barramundi with vegetables which was on the special list, was superb 👌. We will be definitely eating there again.

Went for Mother’s day lunch so of course service was a little slow but considering the 2 story establishment was fully packed, the staff did an exceptional job. We were a table of 9 with everyone ordering different meals and every one was thoroughly enjoyed. The gnocchi was to die for. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back.

I had my daughters surprise 21st birthday in the function room upstairs on the 11th May and everything was just perfect. Staff are friendly and went above and beyond to make this night memorable and a shout out to Amelia, the manager, she was very attentive to my needs and very good customer service. I highly recommend this restaurant. Food was exceptional. I will be back.

I went there to pick up the food. Venue is nice. One of the front staff (tall guy) was soo rude. He don’t know how to welcome people who walks in the venue. I was planning to go and try their food but now I changed my mind. Giving 2 star just because hiring staff who don’t know how to welcome guest who walks in their venue.

We arrived for lunch, sat down and waited for our order to be taken, in the end we got up and asked the waitress if she could take our order, she didn’t even put water on our table, had to ask twice for the rest of our food, when the next meal came out, our cutlery and plates were not changed, very disappointed, as we have been there several times this one was not good at all, also we sat out side it definitely needed to be cleaned, would probably wouldn’t go back

Nice cosy Italianish restaurant in a well located part of Williamstown.Service was not in your face but attentive. Food was good. Priced reasonably. Easy to recommend.

Monzarella has a reputation as one of the best Italian food restaurants in the area so I had to give it a try.On a warm autumnal evening, we arrived (made a booking in advance) to find a few diners inside but by the time we left it was quite busy both indoors and outdoors.The menu is extensive (see photo). There must’ve been 70+ choices, somewhat overwhelming, so I went to my known love of gnocchi. I chose pan-fried gnocchi, with pumpkin, olive oil, spinachand goats cheese. My partner had a porterhouse (300g) served with mashed potato and a bowl of mushroom, spring onion in a napoli sauce.Food: the gnocchi wasn’t as pan-fried as I’d liked and size larger than I’m used to, but they weren’t doughy. The pumpkin was steamed and I prefer roasted (that’s a very personal choice). Portion size was plentiful.The steak was ordered rare / medium rare but came out as medium. The staff were happy to replace and a new steak was served quickly. This time it was perfect. The flavours from the sauce were a lovely accompaniment.Monzarella is licensed with an extensive wine, beer and cocktails list. If you BYO it’s an $8 corkage fee.Decor is traditional red, white and green - the colours of Italy.Music playing in background was nice but a tad too loud for me but once the place filled up with people, it’s less noticeable. Dietaries catered for but please read disclaimer at the bottom of menu.Notes: parking out front but please read time limits. Toilets on site. Kid friendly. High chairs available. There are 3 steps into the restaurant so not wheelchair friendly. Dogs allowed outside on leash. There is a function room upstairs that seats 80 comfortably.#monzarella #monzarellarestaurant #monzarellaitalianrestaurant #williamstownrestaurant #williamstownrestaurants #italianfood #panfriedgnocchi #panfriedgnocchiwithpumpkin #porterhousesteak #thewanderingreviewer
