Monello Reviews
Decided to try out Monello after seeing a few social media posts about the cheese wheel. Monello and their staff did not disappoint . Service was excellent . Located right in downtown San Diego in an area with plenty of parking options nearby . We were early to our reservation but we were seated right away . Tasty drinks , appetizers (calamari tasted fresh) and a good selection of wine. The cheese wheel pasta was TO DIE FOR. I highly recommend Monello .
We came here because they do the thing where they toss the pasta in the middle of a giant wheel of cheese, so the pasta gets covered in cheese. Apparently they change the pasta each day, but if you want to do the cheese wheel thing you only get the one choice of pasta, which was fine. I personally though the gnocchi I ordered was cheesier tasting than the cheese wheel pasta, but the cheese wheel pasta was still fantastic. You could tell the pasta was made fresh.We sat outside...read full review

Giving 4 out of 5 stars overall because our service wasn’t terrible and the atmosphere was okay and location great. It’s a modern building which fits for San Diego. We chose this spot due to reviews on how their pasta was homemade. Honestly, I wasn’t very impressed in the taste though. The carbonara barely had any sauce on it like the traditional carbonara you’d order in Italy. I wish I would’ve tried the ravioli instead.
