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!

🌿 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! 🚀

What an amazing spot. We were camping nearby and spotted this little restaurant on the way to the beach. The food was perfect - you can tell their menu is based around things they truly love to cook and they do it incredibly well. As far as the drinks go - we only had cocktails, and can only rate them a 10/10... there is no laziness here - they care about the drinks as much as they do their menu.

This is not a fine dining restaurant but a rustic Italian experience We chose a selection of Cicchetti dishes to share as we did not wish to have a big meal. The meal offerings are posted on their website & there were specials of Sydney rock oysters & swordfish Our waiter was a delightful young man whose family came from Sardinia We recommend this restaurant for those seeking a casual Italian dining experience
