A central wraparound bar showcases a creative craft cocktail program, highlighting Italian varietals, aperitifs, martinis, and more. Upon opening in April 2025 at 2000 Main Street, Suite 300, Irvine, CA, Monaco Italian Kitchen will be open daily for lunch and dinner. For more information visit MonacoItalianKitchen.com.
