About Monzu
Centred around the hundreds-year-old starter dough which is the backbone of every pizza passed through the oven, Monzu is a passion project.
Chef Gio Mauro set up shop in a well travelled neighbourhood far from the Strip. Like many other visionaries, he recognized that quality would bring his customers back. This is the kind of place that idolises experiences. Friday and Saturday nights have live music. If you have a small child with you, they will be the centre of attention and everyone is encouraged to linger. While wine is often the focus, the house-made lemonade with rosemary is a highlight; add some vodka or gin as an aperitif while you pore over the menu.
Almost entirely focused on Italian wines, the list has been made accessible by local artist and wine writer Marisa Finetti. She has added her unique ‘doodles’ to the menu to help drinkers decipher the flavours of the different styles and regions of Italy. Chris Militello, the Beverage Director, keeps the list tidy and tight, with only the best selections to pair with the seasonal food. Pricing is one thing that supports the local diner. Even at the higher end, you will drink very well. The focus is on the major regions of Italy, like Piedmont, Tuscany and Campania, but you may be able to find some fantastic discoveries on this list.
