We tried a ton: homemade focaccia (baked in-house daily), blistered shishito peppers with black garlic aioli, arancini with smoked mozzarella, the root salad, Parmesan gnocchi, Negronis, wines, amari… it was all great. The star of the show for me were the arancini and the gnocchi. The gnocchi felt like something my Italian grandmother would make for me on a cold winter day if I had an Italian grandmother. I was also excited to see an Italian egg liqueur on their menu, which they served in an Italian apres ski drink, combined with espresso. A perfect finisher. Their wine bottles are almost all under $50, pastas are under $20, and they have a whole branzino for $25. I highly recommend checking out Monti and sitting at the bar or checking out their lounge area for a cozy, casual drink. 📍1110 Shelby St, Indianapolis Currently open Wednesday-Saturday".
