"โ€ฆe in this live and in person. The ravioli Mare e Monte is a delicious blend of lobster ravioli, and a sauce that has veal. Very tasty. My wife enjoyed the sole oregenata which had a light and crispy crust with a delicious lemon butter sauce. I had the Vitello allaโ€ฆ"

"โ€ฆ it was clear that fresh, high-quality ingredients were used. My friend had the Lobster Ravioli, and it was equally impressive โ€” flavorful, well-seasoned, and beautifully plated. What really stood out, though, was the service. The waitstaff was attentive without beiโ€ฆ"

Fabulous! This restaurant continues to exceed expectations. Javier, our waiter was very friendly, attentive and engaging. Our party of six had a variety of dishes and to include lamb chops, lobster ravioli and Bronx pollo parmigiana pollo. All the dishes were delicious. The owner also passed by a few times to check on us and ensure we were having a good dining experience. Give this restaurant a try and you wonโ€™t be disappointed. Excellent customer service!

New favorite Italian. Had the crab & shrimp cake appetizer. Best crab cake I ever had. The lobster ravioli and the lasagna were both excellent. The service was excellent; very attentive but not overly so. Canโ€™t wait to try the rest of the menu.

The moment we entered the restaurant we were told โ€œwelcome homeโ€œ. Staff at the restaurant makes you feel like youโ€™re dining in someoneโ€™s home. The smells are fantastic. Our waiter, Ben, was so welcoming and wanted to know about us his new friends. I had seen a couple videos about this restaurant on Instagram and had some ideas what I wanted to try. I was not ready for the stracciatella al Fuoco. This dish was wonderful. The cool of the Burrata mixing with a warm sauce was delicious. There was a spiciness to it and everyone at the table spooned it onto the crostini and devoured the dish. A member of our dining party had the pollo Bronx Parmigiana. The videos on the Internet of the cheese being poured over the dish donโ€™t do it justice to see in this live and in person. The ravioli Mare e Monte is a delicious blend of lobster ravioli, and a sauce that has veal. Very tasty. My wife enjoyed the sole oregenata which had a light and crispy crust with a delicious lemon butter sauce. I had the Vitello alla Picatta. I normally donโ€™t order veal, but on my waiters recommendation, I tried this dish. The veal was Very tender and cooked to perfection. The secret to this dish is the crispy capers! We were all so stuffed but we couldnโ€™t leave without trying the tiramisu. A wonderful way to end a great meal with friends. I will recommend this restaurant to all my friends and I will make trip across town to dine here on a more regular basis.

Your home !! Delicious food, Service was exemplary. The flavors, unique and well done. The menu, unique and Adriatic based it seems, not fully researched but it feels that way. So good. Who does a meat on lobster ravioli, they do. Wow.

I shared a meal with a friend today at Mare E Monte at lunch and was blown away by the next-level food and gracious hospitality we were shown. The owner stopped by our table and answered questions that we had about some of the menu items and steered us towards some of his personal favorites. The calamari was a nice start, which was generously portioned and well seasoned. We ordered the lobster ravioli and the fettuccini (no one batted an eye when I asked for both shrimp and chicken on top), both dishes were prepared perfectly. We capped it off with lively conversation with the owner (who stopped in again to make sure we were enjoying ourselves). I had the Italian cream cake (which at that point i could not finish) and my lunch companion hit a home run with the affogato. I am only giving 5 stars on this review, because 6 stars was not an option. If you are looking for a new Italian restaurant with great food and loads of charm, stop in for lunch or dinner and find out for yourself. We will definitely be back! Cheers!

Welcome home! If you're looking for an Italian restaurant that delivers bold flavors and impeccable service, this place is a must-visit. From the moment we sat down, everything was exceptional. We started with the Insalata Caprese, made with creamy Burrata that melted in our mouths, and the Carciofi al Tartufoโ€”a brilliant twist on artichoke caprese that was both fresh and indulgent. For mains, the Lamb Chops were perfectly seared and seasoned, the Lobster Ravioli with Shrimp was rich and luxurious, and the Sole over Asparagus Risotto topped with a butter lemon sauce was a standoutโ€”delicate, bright, and beautifully balanced. Portions arenโ€™t oversized, but the flavor more than makes up for it. Every bite felt intentional and crafted with care. Our server Joe was fantasticโ€”his wine pairing recommendation elevated the entire meal. This restaurant doesnโ€™t just serve foodโ€”it serves an experience. Canโ€™t wait to go back!

First time walking into such a gem. We ordered the spicy calamari and it was to die for. Our entrees were so delectable. I ordered the lobster ravioli and added scallops to it. The sauce was so yummy and the raviolis were exquisite. My hubby ordered the Bronx pollo parmigiana which was beautiful with a light white spinach sauce. The chicken was very tasty. We are very happy to have found this lil piece of heaven. . We will be back because their service was impeccable. Salute!!!!

Absolutely amazing experience here in an unassuming strip mall. Service was attentive and welcoming. I had the chicken parm (5/5). Crispy, the vodka sauce was flavorful and the pasta on the side was so gooey! My boyfriend got the lobster ravioli that he absolutely loved. We shared the cannolis (amazing crunch) and French fries. Would definitely come back when weโ€™re down south!

Went tonight, 2nd time, we love this place. Staff is great, food is amazing and with 2 young kids we always feel welcome. Tonight I had the crispy chicken piccata which was 12/10 a the artichokes were a chefs kiss. Hubby had lasagna with meatball, it was good- although I think he prefers the lobster ravioli from the first time we visited. Kids catered to with spaghetti options. Bread was warm. We had Alize serve us tonight and she was wonderful. Manager walking around saying โ€œwelcome homeโ€ is always warm. One of our highly recommended spots for sure! Favorite Italian hands down.

As a frequent solo diner I've grown accustomed to mediocre service, oftentimes the music is way too loud and the food just so-so. Mare e Monte scores 5 stars on all counts. The modest strip center doesn't hint at the charming and comfortable interior. Great menu with many choices and not a pizza offered, thank you very much. I had the lobster ravioli with a robust tomato cream sauce. I'll be returning soon to try other dishes. Having the chef come to my table and introduce himself was a delight. I'd ne negligent if I didn't mention waiter (Jason, I believe) who provided excellent service. As a small business owner myself it's especially gratifying to discover such a wonderful locally owned restaurant. Go there.

Came here for my birthday with my family. Holy cow, what an experience! The Calamari Arrabiata was insane! As were the crab cakes! The lobster ravioli was delicious. My family loved the pork chops, the lamb chops, and the pasta Nero. The staff was courteous, prompt, and even funny! The place is clean and the atmosphere is pleasant. They sang Happy Birthday to me and brought out THE most delicious Tiramisu and Blueberry Cheesecake. 10 out of 10! Highly recommend!!

I have NEVER written a review whether excellent or not so great food/service. Tonight we dined at Mare E Monte after seeing the food on TikTok. The service was OUTSTANDING from start to finish. Andres was our server and suggested some items for us to try. We had the lobster ravioli and the Alfredo. Both phenomenal. Although it was very busy, the owner came to our table to introduce himself and make sure we had everything we needed. I watched the owner go from table to table to make sure everyone felt like family. I cannot get over how exceptional the food and service was. If youโ€™re looking at reviews questioning if you should try Mare E Monte, do it! Youโ€™re guaranteed to be as impressed as we were today.

We went early on a Saturday night and got right in. However, the small restaurant filled up very quickly, so be prepared to wait if you get there at 6pm or later. We were looking forward to trying out this highly rated restaurant. Pros: most of our food was really tasty, except for the $25.00 Lobster Ravioli -- it was very fishy, and there was very little lobster meat in it. The red sauce on it was yummy, though. My husband really enjoyed his Spicy Rigatoni and the added meatball, but $4.00 for one small meatball is ridiculous. We both enjoyed the Caprese salad. Cons: the service was not excellent. Our waitress took plates the minute we took the last bite and even hovered once waiting for me to finish my salad. That is a huge pet peeve of mine. Also the food was delivered by kitchen staff, but then it took several minutes for our waitress to come back to the table to offer pepper or parmesan. We were several bites in to both the salad and main dishes before she offered these garnishes. They should be offered immediately. Also she was slow to refill our iced tea, and mistakenly gave us sweet tea once, instead of unsweet. We drank it anyway, because we didn't see her very often. She was nice, but these little things do add up over the course of a meal. Last gripe -- It's very irritating when a restaurant adds a fee to use a credit card, as this one does. No one is bringing that much cash to pay for meal, so you're forced to pay the fee. Just build that cost into the price of the food, and let people decide whether it's worth it or not. It seems like such a cheap and disingenuous thing to do to your customers. So to sum up, all in all it was not a bad meal, but we probably won't make a special trip to eat there again.

Stopped in for dinner tonight for my husbands birthday. We had lobster ravioli, lamb chops, caprese and tiramisu. Everything was amazing, food was top notch and came out so quickly, service was great. Everything was reasonably priced and the owner stopped by and had a lovely conversation with us after our meal. We will definitely be back!

I went for a girl's night out and I am already planning my next visit! You could tell the pasta was made in house, it was so fresh and delicious! The lobster ravioli was my favorite dish we tried and the biscoff cheesecake for dessert. It was the perfect sweet to end the meal. Our server, Joe made excellent recommendations and was very attentive, even while it was extremely busy. We had a great first experience and cant wait to go back! I highly recommend!

My parents saw this place on Texas Eats and we came out to try it. I canโ€™t think of one bad thing to say about our experience except that we werenโ€™t able to try more of their menu! Everything was delicious, from the lobster ravioli to the sole to the stuffed pepper. The blueberry cheesecake was incredible too. The restaurant was on the smaller side but very well decorated. The owner, Prince, came around to welcome everyone personally and after we ate he sat down at our table to visit with us. He was so sweet and you could tell he loves what he does! We are already arguing about whose birthday we will be coming back here for!

We went here for my birthday, I wanted some seafood and pasta!! After reviewing the menu online I was so excited to try this place. However when we got here the parking was, not ideal, to say the least. I really wish there were better signs for the parking but that's the only reason I'm not giving the 5 stars. We ordered Asparagus Fries for an appetizer they had a bit of spice but were so tender and flavorful and the yogurt dip was delicious! I ordered the Lobster Ravioli Mare e Monte with Shrimp, the shrimp was tender, soft and pink, the ravioli was filled with delicious savory lobster meat and the sauce was titch but not over. My husband ordered the Bronx Pollo Parmigiana (Chicken Parmesan) the chicken was tender, juicy and flavorful, had a nice bit of a mouth and just made you want to eat more. The spicy chicken paired perfectly with the creamy sauce. We also ordered the Tiramisu and cannolis to go. The tiramisu was rich and decadent , the cannolis shell was flaky yet held together, the cream inside was indulgent. Even though we had to take it home it was so wonderful. Another thing that made this place wonderful, is the owner came around to every table, shook our hand and made sure we knew it's like a family and whatever we needed he made sure to make it happen. You can definitely feel the family home cooked Italian vibes. Will definitely come back, and can't wait to try more.

Wow! Everything was fantastic and the staff and service were also great. I am Italian from NJ and havenโ€™t had food that good since I was a kid at my grandmotherโ€™s house. I am so mad at myself for traveling to San Antonio for the last 4 years and not knowing about this place. Canโ€™t wait to try everything on the menu. I had the chef recommendations of Artichoke appetizer and Lobster Ravioli and have no regrets :)

Everything is absolutely delicious. I recommend trying the asparagus fries and the shrimp appetizer. The lamb chops were perfectly seasoned and cooked. I had the lobster ravioli, and you can actually taste how fresh the pasta is. I'm addicted to the tiramisu. I'm a tiramisu addict and I can eat this every day. My husband had the cannoli and also loved them.

I recently dined at Mare E Monte, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff, who made me feel immediately welcome. The ambiance of the restaurant is cozy yet modern, striking the perfect balance between casual and upscale. The menu offers a variety of options, all sounding equally tempting. I decided to go with the Seafood Risotto, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the portion size was generous. Every bite was a delight, and it was clear that fresh, high-quality ingredients were used. My friend had the Lobster Ravioli, and it was equally impressive โ€” flavorful, well-seasoned, and beautifully plated. What really stood out, though, was the service. The waitstaff was attentive without being overbearing, and they made sure our glasses were always full and that we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The timing between courses was just right, and we never felt rushed. Overall, I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Canโ€™t wait to return!

Can I give 10 stars? 20? My husband was greeted by the owner with โ€œWelcome home!โ€ And, truly, this may be the first time Iโ€™ve felt that Iโ€™ve been home while in San Antonio. The food is delectable - do not skip the fried asparagus or artichoke hearts appetizers - and the lobster ravioli was filling & plentiful. And if the food wasnโ€™t enough, the service was impeccable. I will be bringing everyone who visits me here. Thank you, mare e monte. Youโ€™re incredible.

Stopped in at the restaurant in passing with a neighbour of mine since we were hungry and hadn't been able to find something to suit either of our tastes via online search. I am SO glad I spotted this place in passing. The parking was a bit confusing as I didn't notice that flow of traffic was counter clockwise only I think due to one of the restaurants in the building having a drive thru. We entered through the back door as we parked behind the building. The restaurant at the time wasn't full and we didn't need a reservation. Our waiter was Guillermo and he was exceptionally professional, if you eat here, I hope you get Guillermo, he was wonderful. Service is fast as is food to come out. I ordered the lobster ravioli and it is the best pasta dish I've ever had. The sauce was flavourful, pasta was perfectly cooked, and no need for more parmesan than what it was served with. My neighbour ordered the lamb chops with shrimp and both were perfectly seasoned, no need to add additional salt or pepper. The restaurant space is on the small side, but comfortable and didn't seem crowded even when the tables all filled up. I will absolutely return here.

I recently visited this restaurant with a group of friends and we were disappointed by the quality of the food. I ordered Lobster Ravioli and it was dry, too salty and not hot enough. The dish lacked flavor and the portion size was too small. Even the Garlic Mashed Potatoes I ordered lacked Garlic flavor and tasted chunky like it was made from boxed Mashed Potatoes. 2 of my friends ordered Spaghetti and Meatballs and the pan it came in was too small it looked like a dish from the Kid's Menu. The portions were too small considering the prices and it didn't have enough meatballs so, they both had to order extra meatballs to make the meal complete. The bread was too dry and hard to swallow. The menu is weird because, most of the dishes do not have pasta that comes with it although this is an Italian restaurant but, pasta can be ordered as a side dish. The waiter was attentive but was incorrectly reaching over us to refill our drinks and that was annoying. We came here to celebrate one of my friend's birthday and we brought our own cake. They charged us all extra for bringing our own cake (dessert) and serving the cake to us on small plates. I have never been to a restaurant that charges customers for bringing a birthday cake to celebrate someone's birthday. This restaurant needs to improve their food quality, portion sizes and menu. I will say I liked the cleanliness of the restaurant and restroom. All of my friends left disappointed by the food we had, it was not worth coming and we should have went somewhere else to enjoy some good Italian food.

Serena was great because she anticipated our needs. We ordered the bronx chicken parmigiana for my Mother and she recommended we put the cherry peppers on the side due to my Mom being sensitive to spiciness. She ended up absolutely loving the chicken parmegiana with the creamy sauce on the rigatoni! The atmosphere with the music was calming yet also very upbeat. The lobster ravioli was amazing! The best I've ever had! 10/10 food, 10/10 atmosphere and 10/10 service!

Went this past Saturday and it was soooooo good, not exaggerating at all!!! Itโ€™s really hard to find an authentic Italian restaurant here in San Antonio but this place definitely is it! My boyfriend ordered the lobster ravioli and it was absolutely delicious. I ordered the lamb chops and it was so succulent. We had the crab cakes for appetizer and it was like the best crab cake Iโ€™ve had in a while. We had dessert and even the dessert was yummy, I have nothing bad to say whatsoever. Our waiter was amazing as well, he made sure or drinks were never empty and was very knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere is very cute and classy. I will definitely be back soon! ๐Ÿ™‚

We came to Mare e Monte at 11:15 on the Saturday after Valentine's Day. Their dining area is split between more intimate 2 person tables and larger tables for bigger parties near the bar. We were seated immediately. They started us with some wood fired bread and oil that was perfectly cooked and warm. The owner came out to welcome us and let us know that we should treat it like we're family and ask for anything we want. We started with the Caesar salad and calamari which were both great. They were out of lasagna, but we ended up getting the lobster ravioli and pasta al nero with scallops. Both were outstanding. For dessert we tried the house made blueberry cheesecake and cannolis. Wow they were great. Service was extremely attentive. Food was perfect. Atmosphere was good. Highly recommend. More folks were arriving as we were leaving and parking was filling up. I think we picked a good time.

I just ate the best meatballs Iโ€™ve ever had. They come on a bed of caramelized onions, sweet peppers and sliced garlic clovesโ€ฆ. The sauce and the cheese on top were divine. I used their thinly sliced ciabatta bread to scoop up all of that good stuff, and it was *chefโ€™s kiss.* I ordered the Ravioli Mare e Monte for my entree and it was amazing. These raviolis were STUFFED with lobster. They were not stingy at all. 10/10

My family and I had dinner tonight and we absolutely loved everything about this restaurant. We were seated right away. Customer service was incredible. The owner, Prince, came over and introduced himself. He made us feel very welcomed. I mentioned to Prince I was craving spaghetti carbonara and he immediately said, sure, I will make it for you. We had already placed our order, but he mentioned he would the carbonara. Can I say, it wasnโ€™t on the menu! I canโ€™t remember how long ago we have received this kind of customer service. Everything we ordered was unbelievably incredible. We ordered the lobster ravioli, spaghetti Al Nero, and penne allรก vodka. This place is a gem in San Antonio. This restaurant did not disappoint. Jessie was our waiter and he was excellent, best customer service. We will be back real soon. We love it and canโ€™t wait to come back!! 10 out of 10 ๐Ÿ‘

Amazing food and service! The Bronx Vitello Parmigiana and the Lobster Ravioli were some of the best Italian meals we have had. Will 100% be visiting again soon.

Zerina is an excellent server and is very very kind. The atmosphere is so nice and we were constantly checked on to make sure everything is okay. No wonder this place has 5 stars. The Lobster Ravioli, lasagna, & calamari was amazzzingg!! Will definitely recommend & come back!

We ordered the meatballs, calamari, lobster ravioli, and Bronx pollo parmigiana. Everything was delicious! The bread was amazing! It had to be freshly baked. They also must make their pastas from scratch, so they are better than any pasta youโ€™ll get anywhere else. Also, the owner was so kind. He stopped by every table to check in and make sure everyone was enjoying their food. He seemed genuinely interested in anything the guests had to say, so he could improve the restaurant. The restaurant is small, so I would definitely go early if you can. It seemed to fill up around dinner time. Iโ€™ll definitely be back!

Mare E Monte provided us with a fantastic dining experience. The food was impressive, and the staff was kind and attentive. My husband appreciated the lobster ravioli, and the lasagna was a hit. Try to save room for dessert! We'll definitely return!

We had the fish in lemon butter with shrimp on top. It was perfectly cooked, flavors balanced beautifully and the meats were perfectly caramelized. We had the artichoke appetizer, came out perfectly, warm artichokes over fresh mozzarella and prosciutto. We also had the lobster ravioli, which I wish the raviolis themselves were a bit larger, and there was a little less sausage in the sauce. However, it is still a dish I would recommend. Ended the meal with strawberry tiramisu which was light, refreshing and a good ending for the meal. Although this place has only been open 3 months, we are excited to see the menu grow and the atmosphere develop. The food is definitely amazing with great flavor and balance in the dishes. You wonโ€™t find overpowering American flavors, it is truly on the European spectrum of elegant flavors. Would love to see the atmosphere develop into more of an elegant evening destination. Maybe more seclusion around the tables and painting the ceiling black/lowering the lights to bring the ceiling down. Overall wonderful experience.

The owner and the servers are welcoming but there were issues. My 6 year old had our drinks spilled on him and the glass cut him and my friend a little. Of course they were apologetic and it was no huge harm done, they gave him a shirt and a free dessert and gave me an extra meal but for me the food was OK. We had the calamari and shrimp appetizer which was good, his chicken strips were a little over cooked and my lobster ravioli was ok. I didn't really love the texture of the actual ravioli pasta. My friend had the shrimp penne which to me was spicy but she enjoyed it and my other friend had the fettuccine and mushrooms which were good. They got the chocolate cake which they enjoyed and I the affagoto but I just enjoyed the ice cream. The espresso was too strong for me. I wouldn't mind not going again.

Great food and service. Prince knows what he is doing here! Friendly work luncheon today. We started with calamari and meatballs. Both delicious. Two of us had lobster ravioli and it was wonderful. I cleaned the sauce up out of the dish with some bread! Chocolate caramel came with sea salt was a great dessert. Not cheap but not outrageous. Would definitely go again.

I loved this simple Italian restaurant with a short and elegant menu, Prince's service is excellent. Albanian in his roots but with a wonderful European vision. Go and enjoy some good food for a while. I recommend the shrimp and the lobster-stuffed ravioli

We had such a great time tonight eating some of the best Italian food. We got the lobster ravioli and lasagnaโ€ฆ and my goodness it was so amazing. My fiancรฉ and I considered keeping this place as our little secret but we couldnโ€™t help but tell our friends and family already. I hope this review encourages others to try this place out so that we can keep this great Italian restaurant in our little part of the neighborhood! - Madison
