Monello, an endearing Italian reference to a “naughty little boy”, was created by the same family known for San Diego’s “best Italian restaurant”: Bencotto Italian Kitchen. The “100 percent honest Italian” menu celebrates Northern Italian street foods and Milan’s glamorous aperitivo culture featuring expertly-crafted cocktails and complimentary “tastes from the cook.” The restaurant offers lunch, aperitivo, dinner and weekend brunch with daily breakfast coming soon. The menu spans a variety of polenta dishes; homemade spaghetti; home baked flatbreads; a selection of lightly fried food; thin crust “Milanese style” pizza; roasted meats and seafood; seasonal plates of vegetables; homemade gelato, sorbet and baked desserts; along with fresh baked breads and pastries.
