Montalbano - Ashford

One word excellent. Greeted by the Owner, seated straightaway and offered water. Drinks followed and I asked for Sparkling Water with Lemon Ice No pressure to buy branded. Quick served. Had Fritto Misto to start with Calves Liver as main. Best liver I've had all year. Partner had Pasta which she said was superb. I finished with Formaggi, OH had Tiramisu. Both were generous portions. Easy parking in Bridewell Lane CP just behind restaurant.

Having seen the rave reviews I was super excited to secure a last minute table online. Easy enough to find on the high street with on street parking pretty much outside. Buzzy atmosphere and attentive (thankfully not overly familiar) service. Food was good not outstanding maybe I'd hyped myself up to expect utterly amazing? I can't even remember exactly what we ordered now. I definitely had the Casarecce pasta all'arrabbiata, as veggie main choices were a little limited. My favourite thing was in fact the two glasses of delicious red wine that made me a little giggly!

Another most enjoyable experience at this excellent restaurant. A meal to celebrate my wife's birthday and the food and service were both faultless. Always a lovely atmosphere with staff who are passionate and friendly. We will definitely return again very soon.

The best... There is nowhere in Tenterden for this service and great food...MONTALBANO IN MY OPINION IS NUMBER 1!!!!

I met with three former colleagues for lunch. The food was excellent and the service was fantastic. It was clear that the staff take great pride in their work. Thank you so much! I would love to see a branch open closer to where I live in East Kent. No pressure, just a suggestion!
