Montecello - Newton Aycliffe

The food at this restaurant was absolutely amazing, except for the sweet and sour chicken that my son ordered. It had far too much sauce and was too sweet. However, everything else from the prawns to the steak to the Espetada and chicken schnitzels was incredible.

The food at this restaurant is incredible. We tried the 500g Espetada and the Pork Belly, both of which were exceptional. In particular, the rump of the Espetada was incredibly juicy and tender. I will definitely be returning to Montecello in the future.

The espetada was excellent, with very tender and perfectly prepared fillet. The small rump steak was also well prepared and nicely presented. After being unsure due to some reviews, we were pleasantly surprised and will definitely be back when we are in the area again. The staff provided excellent service, even when the restaurant was busy with a large party. They were accommodating and made us feel welcome.

The food is incredible! Their espatada is exquisite, the sweet and sour kingklip is on another planet and their chicken schnitzel is the best I've ever tasted. The ambience is romantic and intimate with candlelight on each table and the service is the best We've have on the Garden Route so far!

Honestly the best Espetada in the world! I have travelled all the way back from New Zealand to have dinner here. Staff are friendly and management is amazing!
