About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
Mona is a place to come together with friends and family.
The philosophy is pure and simple:
every dining experience is an opportunity to connect,
converse and immerse yourself in the flavours of Italy.
Our concept is inspired by the Venetian tradition of cicchetti – mouthwatering,
"little bites" designed for sharing.
Traditionally cicchetti must be accompanied by an “ombra” (shadow),
a little glass of wine.
This tradition finds its roots in Venetian Merchant’s brilliance when they placed
benches in the shadow of St. Marco Bell Tower
so the wine stayed cool and cichetti soaked up the wine.
At Mona, we offer a wide selection of beautiful wines and plates to share,
allowing you to enjoy dining "cichetti" style.

So come hungry, come thirsty, and most importantly come as you are!

    Excellent food, beautifully presented. As there were 3 of us then the portions were ideal, if there had been more of us then it could have got expensive. The only negative was the service was quite slow as the restaurant was full and there weren't many staff. But otherwise a great experience, we'll come back.

    Lovely restaurant tucked away in Wallington but the four of us found the staff to be a bit dismissive of dietary needs and also the loud music. We could hardly hear each other and asked for the music to be turned down. It was for about 5 mins then was turned back up. The waiter shrugged when we mentioned this. One person stated they didn’t eat red meat but according to them prosciutto doesn’t count as red meat! The food was overall tasty and good variety (we went for the Chefs selection) but we were all disappointed -pasta barely featured on the menu. The gnocchi we did have was fried, hard and dry. The sardines & calamari were excellent as was the soft cheese surrounded by a delicious fig jam. In regards to the staff, we all felt they behaved as if they were doing us a favour by turning up and we didn’t believe they thought the diners were the most important people to please.

    🌿 A Relaxed, Bike-Friendly Spot with Amazing Food – 100/10! 🚴‍♀️💯 We rode from Ocean Grove to Mona Cicchetti Bar on Saturday, and it was absolutely worth the trip! 🚲✨ The venue is lovely, with a great spot to safely park our bikes 🚴‍♂️🔒. We originally planned to sit inside, but the super friendly staff 🥰 let us move to the grassy, relaxed area 🌳🪑, which made the experience even better. 🍽️ What We Ordered: 🧀 TAGLIERE DI FORMAGGI – A chef’s selection of imported & local cheeses 🥖🫒🧀, great value for money 💰👍. 🍝 POLPETTE DEL MONA – Housemade pork & beef meatballs—absolutely AWESOME! 🔥🤩 🦑 CALAMARI FRITTI – Flash-fried squid 🦑🍋, fresh & delicious! 😋👌 🥖 GNOCCHI FRITTI CAPRA E MIELE – Deep-fried dough balls 🍞🍯 that were so tasty & crispy! 🤤💛 I’ve been here a few times now, and the service, food & drinks NEVER disappoint! 🍷🍹😍 The whole venue has a relaxed, nature-inspired vibe 🌿✨, making it the perfect spot to catch up with family, friends, or even for a casual date 💑💬 while enjoying some delicious snacks! 🍽️💕 🔥 100/10—HIGHLY recommend! 🤩⭐ Can’t wait to come back! 🚀
