Monello

The heart of Monello beats with the rhythm of genuine Milanese cuisine. More than just a restaurant, Monello offers a journey through the vibrant culinary landscape of the city of Fashion, blending traditional recipes with a modern flair. Our goal is to transport you to the bustling streets of Milan, where the aromas of fresh pasta mingling with the laughter of locals create an experience that resonates far beyond a plate of expertly crafted food.

We believe in the power of authentic flavors, using time-honored techniques and the finest ingredients to deliver a taste of Italy's rich culinary heritage. We source our pasta, the heart and soul of our dishes, from local producers, ensuring it is made with 100% organic flour, transforming into a silken canvas for our skilled chefs to paint with a rainbow of vibrant sauces and fillings.

A Taste of the Streets

Monello is dedicated to showcasing the vibrant spirit of Milanese "cibo da strada, " translating the bustling energy of the city's street food scene to our dining room. Imaginative appetizers, like the "suppli al telefono" - crispy rice balls filled with ragu and melted mozzarella - capture the essence of Italian street snacks. Our thinly sliced Prosciutto di Parma, aged for eighteen months and served with sweet caramelized figs, offers a taste of elegance from Italy's famed cured meat traditions. Aboard the Cheese Wheel

One of our signature experiences is the pasta served tableside in a giant Parmigiano Reggiano cheese wheel. A spectacle for the senses, this ancient Italian tradition transforms our restaurant into a symphony of flavor and artistry. Watch as our chefs expertly toss your chosen pasta with a decadent sauce, then gently scoop it from the cheese wheel, creating a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.

The Joys of Aperitivo

Monello is proud to introduce the Italian "Aperitivo" tradition - an elegant pre-dinner ritual where guests enjoy a curated selection of cocktails or wines accompanied by complimentary bites. Every day at Monello, a unique assortment of bites inspired by Milanese cuisine is served during aperitivo hours, a delightful appetizer before your meal.

Crafting Cocktails with a Secret Touch

Our dedication to authenticity extends to our bar program. We invite you to experience our house-made, sweet vermouth, a product of traditional methods and a secret blend of local ingredients. This vermouth, crafted with care and aged to perfection, is the star of many of our signature cocktails, offering a distinctive and flavorful twist.

A Celebration of Italian Hospitality

Beyond the walls of our kitchen, we strive to create a warm and inviting ambiance that echoes the spirit of Italian hospitality. Whether you are sharing a joyous occasion with loved ones or seeking a quiet afternoon escape, our friendly staff is dedicated to ensuring your dining experience is truly memorable. Sit back, relax, and allow yourself to be swept away by the magic of Monello.
