Fodor's Review:

This former art-house cinema has been reinvented as a designer eatery serving excellent starters—both the bresaola (an antipasto of air-dried salted beef that has been aged for two months, sliced thin, and moistened with olive oil and lemon) and gambas (prawns) are pure manna. But for the Full Montini, you can also choose from a wide array of simple pastas and pizzas. The restaurant doesn't take reservations, but you can linger at the pleasant bar while you wait (sometimes for quite a stretch) for a table.
