Customer Reviews

Ehhhh. Place needs redecorating and more comfy seats but that food will make you sit on a porcupine if you had to. Decor doesn't bother me at all, I'm not moving in. Prices are good, too.

Had been a LONG time since wife and I had eaten there. Have been 4 times in the past month. April 2024...have not had a bad meal or experience. Pizza is great and full of toppings ordered. Wings are on point and best I have had in Wilson. Service has been great.

Their lasagna is THE ABSOLUTE BEST. Literally nowhere close that even competes. The pizza crust is also *drool* and the wings and pizza dip are top notch. I'm making myself hungry just typing this review.

I have eaten here for 30 years or so. This is a great family run restaurant that Wilson is lucky to have. I used to eat here at least once a week and now every time I visit NC.

In reference to a previous review--it seems inappropriate for a grown man who attempted to fight a sixteen year old employee to lie about false experiences. Especially being that there was a room full of customers who saw him threaten other employees simply because he refused to leave a form of ID when leaving the restaurant--oh and the police were called on him, not nearly the other way around. Monticello Cafe is a dependable, family-run business.
