Monteverde is Sarah Grueneberg's James Beard Award-winning Italian restaurant celebrated for its exceptional handmade pasta program. The cacio e pepe in a pork skin broth and the various stuffed pastas are standouts that draw regulars back repeatedly. The room is warm and convivial with an open kitchen adding to the energy. Waits and noise levels can be high, and reservations should be made well in advance.
