Monjunis Italian Cafe & Grocery

The waiter/cashier was so lovely. She recommended many things on the menu, gave some history of Italian cuisine and was just a over all delightful. The spaghetti was ok and the lasagna was pretty good.

When you walk in to this charming little restaurant you are immediately transported to Italy. (Think the sopranos) It’s a very laid back and inviting atmosphere. I can taste the love in the food. I had the shrimp toast to begin with and everyone at the table raved at the cheesy deliciousness that was on the plate. One of my guests said he would order that again as his meal next time. He got a shrimp muffuletta and loved it also. The small pasta salad that came on the side he did not care for. The meatballs were also ordered as well as the meatball nachos. Both incredible, tender meat with the best slightly sweet red sauce. I put that red sauce on everything. I have dined here many times and have never been disappointed.

Unique place to go. A lot of different trinkets to look at instead of your awkward date while you wait for your food. They offer freshly brewed sweetened and unsweetened ice tea. The sauce is S W E E T; like you can envision grandma dumping sugar bag sweet. The sauce has a beautiful red color and isn’t too runny nor too thick. The lasagna hit the spot! One of the best ones around. Garfield the cat would be proud! The eggplant stack was also delicious. It was not greasy and had a crunch on the outside. It was not mushy on the inside, it was cooked just right. What was great about the appetizer is that we didn’t look like we were playing hot potato in our mouths. It was the perfect temperature. Oh and the complimentary bread was good.

Great little place hidden from the rest of BR. Friday for lunch it was not busy at all. Quit atmosphere. Lived here my whole life and just discovered it. Great service. Food was good. Free bread with marinara sauce 👍. Marinara sauce was SUPER SWEET. And the same sauce was used on the lasagna, however the server tells me that you can request the tomato basil red sauce as a replacement for a more traditional Sicilian flavor. Which I plan to try next time. Homemade caesar dressing was very good. Only thing that would have been better would have been a clean table. 😶 I think it was just overlooked as a simple mistake. 🤷‍♂️

I had not been to Monjuni's in years and was very pleased with the food and service there. The baked pasta was better than the ravioli my wife ordered we both felt. The chocolate mousse was rich and very good. I would recommend this place to anyone in the mood for pasta.
The food and patio area are actually quite nice and it would seem that the decor makes the restaurant feel more informal. They could lose the checker table cloths and plastic grapes and turn the lights down but that is only my opinion.
