“The timing of this opening and the fit with this location could not be more perfect,” says Chad Huff, Partner at Pacific Rose Hospitality Group. “Calgary is a growing city with a growing appetite, and Enoteca Monza is ripe for expansion. We first ate at an Enoteca Monza in fall 2023 in Montreal and fell head over heels over the ambiance, food and concept. I’m convinced patrons will love it – in Calgary and beyond.”

Enoteca Monza’s menu features a wide array of antipasti such as hand crafted arancini, slow cooked meatballs, creamy burrata, an assortment of carpaccio, a large selection of apple wood-fired pizzas, fresh pastas, seafood, and steaks. Pizzas start at $18 for a Margherita. The menu is paired with a finely curated wine list and complemented by a decadent dessert menu. The Calgary location features menu items distinct from other Monza locations, such as pistachio-crusted cod, prosciutto-wrapped filet mignon, and a selection of beef, salmon, and beet carpaccio.

"Opening our first Monza in Calgary is a major milestone for us. It marks its official entry into Western Canada and reflects our long-term vision to grow the brand coast to coast," says Peter Mammas, President and CEO of Foodtastic. "Monza is built on bold flavours, vibrant energy, and a love for Italian hospitality. We’re proud to bring that spirit to Calgary and look forward to becoming part of the city’s dynamic culinary scene."

Enoteca Monza first opened in 2010 and has since expanded to include nine locations on the east coast. It was acquired by Foodtastic in 2018, one of Canada’s largest restaurant holding companies. Foodtastic has chosen to expand the Monza banner in partnership with West Coast based Pacific Rose Hospitality Group. The two Canadian restaurant operators have been partners since 2022 when they opened their first Milestones in Calgary. Together, the partners have 10 restaurant locations in Alberta and British Columbia.

Enoteca Monza Pizzeria Moderna is located at 3625 Shaganappi Trail NW J012, Calgary, AB T3A 0E2. Enoteca is an Italian word that means wine shop or wine repository.
