A little bit about us..... the culmination of culinary refinement and restaurant entrepreneurship . . .
Like most success stories, MONTE Restaurant Development Group begins in a very humble place, the outdoor dining table in the heart of Southern Italy. It is here that Executive Restauranteurs & Developers Gennaro DiBenedetto, Gennaro Dimeo & Lino Dimeo fuse their extended research and boyhood nostalgia to bring venerated recipes of old into captivating, all-embracing, accessible environments. Each of MONTE's diverse restaurants carries a delectable theme where you can dine several times a week and still find something new and memorable to walk away with.
The common thread uniting all MONTE establishments is an emphasis on excellent food, superior service, and genuine value throughout the dining experience. Wonderful food at a wonderfully fair price. We believe that each meal serves us with the opportunity to take our guests to a new level. A place of relaxation, comfort and unsurpassed taste.
We are fortunate to attract the industry's best and brightest talent, and we give them the training and professional guidance in order to tend to our guests with the utmost ability and knowledge. Respect and support of our employees is evident in everything we do; as a result, we reflect a degree of staff loyalty that is a rarity.
If you were to ask these young men what their spark was for such growth and success, they would respond with a smile and nod, "making-da-people-happy". It is this “hospitality-infused” culture and philosophy that is deeply respected and practiced in every each of our establishments. It is this mantra which radiates a genuine comfort and professionalism that guests, vendors and the community at large can feel and appreciate.
At each of the MONTE Restaurants we strive to exceed the guest’s expectations on every plate, at every table, with each meal and to do it time after time.
The philosophy to achieve the goal is simple. To fill every position with people who have a passion for the restaurant industry, to provide each and every one of them with an enjoyable work environment, and to teach them core values to guide their interactions with each guest and each other. By making this philosophy the foundation of our everyday culture, we believe we will experience continued success.
We are committed to making MONTE Restaurants the most extraordinary restaurant company, the standard by which all others are measured.
