Anyone been to the new Monte's in gowanus?
Monte's which has been in Gowanus on Carroll between 3rd Avenue and Nevins for something like a hundred years closed down awhile back and just reopened with new owners.
Anyone tried it yet? It will have tough competition from al di la just a few blocks away but Id love to hear your experience.

I had dinner at Monte's last weekend. The new owners did a righteous job renovating, exposing the brick, creating a new open kitchen and new red banquettes to mirror the old banquettes that used to be there. The food was an improvement from the old Monte's. I got red snapper over chard, which was the best thing on the table. My daughter ate the pizza so fast I didn't get to try a bite. My husband liked his bolognese. Great bread on the table. Did not love the squid salad for appetizer. I think the squid was not cooked enough. Overall, am definately going back. Note there is no liquor license yet. Bring your own.
