Mona is a warm, social spot in Ocean Grove where friends and family come together to enjoy the flavours and traditions of Italy. Inspired by Venetian cicchetti — small, shareable plates meant to be enjoyed alongside wine — Mona channels the convivial spirit of Venice into every gathering.

In Italy, cicchetti are often paired with an “ombra” — a small glass of wine enjoyed in good company — and that sense of relaxed, shared experience drives Mona’s concept. The menu features a curated selection of wines alongside a range of thoughtfully crafted share plates, perfect for nibbling, tasting and conversation. Whether you’re stopping in for a pre-dinner drink or settling in for a long afternoon of food and wine, Mona delivers an authentic, social dining experience rooted in Italian tradition.

Mona is all about atmosphere as much as flavour — an easygoing, inviting place to sip, share and linger with the ones you’re with.
