Enoteca Monza Pizzeria Moderna, a traditional Italian restaurant concept which is part of the Foodtastic group, will be launching its first restaurant in Calgary by June at CF Market Mall, Retail Insider has learned.
The brand has eight locations in Quebec.
“As part of our merchandising strategy for CF Market Mall, we are pleased to announce that we have completed a deal with Enoteca Monza. Monza will occupy the entirety of the former Moxie’s location and is complementary to the existing full service restaurants at CF Market Mall which includes The Keg, Milestones and Boston Pizza,” said Darryl Schmidt, Vice President of National Leasing for Cadillac Fairview.
“Also as part of Cadillac Fairview’s commitment to having appropriate food offerings that cater to our unique trade areas, we are excited about the recently completed food court renovations at CF Market Mall which includes new seating, new soft seating and a revamped feature fireplace.”
According to the Foodtastic website: “Enoteca Monza offers both traditional and contemporary Italian dishes with a vast wine menu for the perfect pairing, all in a trendy and classic wine bar atmosphere. The flames of the pizza oven are a design focal point creating a warm and chic ambiance for our modern dining room.
“Enoteca, which means wine bar in Italian, Monza’s emphasis for quality reaches beyond the cuisine. Our glass wine cellar showcases our wine with sophistication. Dare to explore the various notes and flavours of wine from different regions of Italy. The ideal destination for a 5à7 with colleagues, or a romantic date night, our bar menu designed for sharing, is a great way to experience our various appetizers.
“True to Nonna’s recipes we use only the best fresh local and imported Italian products. Our authentically Italian pasta dishes are always prepared Al Dente, sautéed in our homemade sauce. Pizzas are made with our homemade dough, using the best Italian Caputo 00 flour, baked in our wood fire stone oven at 800°F to achieve the perfectly crisp thin crust.
“We take pride in serving quality meat and fish prepared with fresh, simple ingredients without compromising flavour. Our lunch menu offers a variety of options from fresh salads and fire grilled never pressed Panini’s. Great choice for a quick bite with friends or colleagues. True to Italian tradition end your meal with an espresso or cappuccino, the perfect complement to our decadent desserts.
“Enoteca Monza holds the spirit of family as a core value. Making dinner simple and easy, our menu is always available for takeout: order online and let us take care of the rest. Bring the Enoteca Monza experience to your next special occasion or event, our catering menu is perfect for gatherings of any size at work or at home. Our chefs have created a sharing menu, offering our classics recipes in a fun family style portion, a great way to connect and share a meal the way Nonna always intended.”
