    About Mono Restaurant

    Fine Italian dining in Old Town
    Promising an innovative take on Italian cuisine, Mono aims to offer guests a memorable, multi-sensory fine dining experience.
    In keeping with the cutting-edge culinary ethos, the restaurant even boasts its own ‘research lab’ overseen by Italian foodie Joseph Crolla and Head Chef Maciek Zielinski (previously of Michelin starred restaurants in Rome and Milan).
    Yet in contrast, Mono’s woody interior is simple, natural and unfussy. This keeps the focus firmly on the beautiful plate arrangements, fresh flavours and sensuous delights.
