Been wanting to try this place forever ! Such a cute hidden gem . Had calamari first off it was so delicious ! Fresh . The half Caesar salad is shareable and cheese pizza can I say yummy ! Also shared the burger it was very flavorful . Great food and amazing service ! Will be returning soon ! Thanks cafe Mundial
The service is great, but the food is amazing. We felt like we were in a small european restaurant. The rock-table near the bar is very cool.
First visit was a charm, 2nd visit charmed with a great time from dining partners and from staff. I can definitely say going to Mundial is definitely an episode out cheers. Great comrarderie whether it's a full night or not. I had the seafood Neptune and it was absolutely divine. Some I can be such a creature of habit in king days if work I might not venture out, but I am excited to try everything on the menu. Just say when the ribeye is in the special of the day please treat yourself. And on another day travel the seafood Neptune side for another treat. I do look forward to my next visit as well as seeing such a good time with fabulous from other patrons enjoy whatever they are in a treat for. Cheers and blessings to those who enjoy and have yet to have such a treat.
This is my first time coming in to this restaurant although my parents go ALL the time! We had the bell pepper walnut ravioli-- I thought the sauce was really good, never have tried bell pepper in ravioli but I felt that the noodle in the ravioli was very thin not a dense ravioli like other Italian restaurants... which I prefer. I also had a Caesar salad which I especially loved because their romaine was crisp and so fresh! You can totally tell they take the time to wash their lettuce properly. The inside is super cool, exposed brick, cool bar, wine cabinets, really modern lights on the wall. I came during the day but feel like this would be a whole vibe at night. I'll be coming back to try some other things!
Shereen our waiter provided great service and made sure my party and I were ok! The ambiance is a bit classy and cozy. The food was amazing and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves Italian!
This place has it all. New breakfast menu, great food. Excellent service and wonderful ambiance. It's been here forever in old town monrovia.
Oh, my ... does it get any better than this? Elegant setting, enticingly diverse menu options, well-chosen wines for our tasting, amazingly delicious appetizers, entrees and desserts, all beautifully prepared and presented. Our host John (the owner), was witty, charming and intuitive, and his staff provided our group with everything I remember excellent service to be. Thank you, Café Mundial. A long-awaited gathering of family was made all the more special for having been spent with you.
