Tonight was our first time ordering from Monacos, after deciding to try somewhere new. My partner and I are winsted natives and thought, let's give Monacos a try! We haven't heard anything about them....well....now I know why no one's ever recommended.

I am surprised to report, that may have been the most bland, badly prepared dinner I've ever gotten as takeout before. I understand some food doesn't travel well, but that wasn't the issue at all. I ordered chicken piccata, which I'm used to grabbing and bringing home from other restaurants. Upon opening, I was met with the smell of an undercooked wine sauce. The thinnest, most bland sauce I have ever encountered. I was surprised not to find the pasta in the container. I opened a small container, and there was my pasta that I planned to put in the piccata sauce, covered with the most absolute worst red sauce I have ever encountered in my life. Tasted worse than jarred sauce, no spices, broke to liquid and some mush....it's a good thing the bread mentioned on the menu was not included, I had planned to dip it in the sauces. At least maybe the bread would've stood a chance tasting somewhat good?

My partner ordered fettuccine Alfredo. Very thin and lack there of sauce, not to mention, also the most bland either one of us has ever tasted. If you like buttered noodles trying to pass as fettuccine Alfredo, this is would be great.

Not a big one here, but added to the lack of bread, if you don't have a salad dressing, say so on the phone. Like you did with the other salad dressing we had asked for. I know it's easier to just throw another Italian. I get it. But also...who doesn't have ranch or oil and vinegar? Maybe I'm splitting hairs now. But I am massively salty after the $60 we just wasted. You should give some of that salt to your cook. Although I doubt just seasoning would fix this one.
