Monte Carlo has had a big history in the Columbus/Westerville area and has been a staple in Italian cuisine for years. Monte Carlo Ristorante was opened in December of 1979 by Bruno, Angelo and Domenic Ciotola and other family members. After many years of success Monte Carlo Ristorante

                                       closed its doors in August of 1997.

                                            In November of 1998, Joe (Bruno's son) and his

                                        wife Lora, opened Monte Carlo Italian Kitchen. The

                                        Italian tradition of great food and family recipes 

                                        has continued here on a smaller scale. Joe

                                        continues to make the homemade meatballs, 

                                        sausage, lasagna and other sauces. Lora has 

                                        continued to run the front of the house and always 

                                        extends a warm welcome to customers. A 

                                        connecting side, which allowed seating for a total of

                                        75 was opened in May of 2001.

                                             The menu is loaded with generous portion 

                                        entrees that are sure to satisfy any big appetite.

                                        The aroma and taste of this italian cuisine can

                                        not be matched. Come in and experience 

                                        excellent Italian food in a family 

                                        atmosphere!
