Foodie Experiences

Smash Burgers at MONZO

Monzo means beef in Italian dialect, so this place is literally named Beef Burger, and that level of confidence extends to the fries.

MONZO is what happens when the Ask for Luigi team decides the burger deserves the same respect as the tagliatelle. The name means beef in Italian dialect, so the place is literally called Beef Burger. The fries cook in pure beef tallow, the milkshakes come in boozy versions, and the all-orange 1980s Milan nook photographs like a music video. Split one more shake before you leave.
