Most Amazing Italian We Have Ever Had We came here for an anniversary meal after going to chapel down and oh my gosh it is the best Italian we have ever been to. Food was to die for, starters delicious we had the prawn and scallops. The mains were amazing carbonara most authentic best ive ever had. We also had the T-bone steak as a special which was the most amazing steak we have ever had (compared to gaucho etc). The tiramissu again most amazing. Service was impeccable special mention to PJ! We cannot wait to return.

Perfect, cannot be faulted. Superb, thank you I told myself I must review this establishment. When things go wrong more people comment, but for us this “was perfect”. We moved to Tenterden 2.5 months ago and have eaten here on three separate occasions. All meals could NOT be faulted - we are impressed. We love Italy, Italian food and frequently travel to Italy, so we are familiar with its national cuisine, and Montalbano is ITALY for us. Thank you, and a huge “well done”. We will come again & again…….

Wonderful and generous staff with lovely authentic Italian food! We dined here with friends in April 2026 for an evening meal. We had heard great things about this place before we moved here so had to try it! The welcome and the service throughout were wonderful. It's overall a wonderful addition to the high street on Tenterden! It's obvious that this place is deep rooted in fond memories of people in the town and we can see why. The food was delicious, generous and plentiful. The staff were wonderful too, authentic and warm and didn't close up til we left! We will be back to sit outside in the warmed months very soon!!

Spur of the moment lunch. We went for “spur of the moment” lunch on a lovely day. We sat outside and ate half a lobster and spaghetti accompanied by piping hot fried zucchini. It was all delicious.

Excellent Italian restaurant We went out for a family meal . I have been to their ice cream parlour and cafe many times with my husband and friends but this was our first experience at the restaurant. The party had been increased from 6 to 8 people which they had no problem with and we’d also had to let them know that we’d be a little later than our original time. Again, no problem. Our waiter, Finlay was so helpful, patient and friendly. He was happy to answer questions in relation to some of our group’s dietary needs. We didn’t wait very long for any of the food or drink that we asked for. Every dish was delicious. Portions were good. I especially enjoyed the salmon from the specials menu and afterwards I had the excellent homemade semifreddo with the warm chocolate sauce that was exceptionally delicious. We were all very happy with our experience as a whole. Italian cuisine is my favourite and this restaurant has a lot to offer. I look forward to returning and recommend others to go.
