Progress Update! 🍕🔥

Hey everyone!

Another big milestone for Monti Primo. Our kitchen hoods are officially up!

This might not look exciting to everyone, but these hoods are a huge part of what will allow us to cook all of your favorite pizzas, pastas, and Italian dishes safely and efficiently.

We installed two commercial hoods. One is a dedicated heat hood for our gorgeous new pizza ovens, and the other is for our sauté line. All that wine, olive oil, garlic, and everything else that makes Italian food so incredible needs a proper ventilation system.

We also installed stainless steel wall panels behind the cooking line. Not only do they look great, but they make cleaning much easier. A clean kitchen is one of the most important ingredients in making delicious food, and we’re committed to maintaining the highest standards from day one.

We’re still working our way through the final checklist: electrical, gas, fire suppression, inspections, and all the other behind the scenes work that goes into opening a restaurant the right way.

We know it’s taking longer than we originally hoped, and trust us, we’re just as eager to open our doors as you are. Building a restaurant from the ground up has been a journey, but every week we’re checking off another major milestone.

Thank you all for your patience, encouragement, and support. We read every comment, and it means more than you know.

We’re getting closer, and we can’t wait to welcome you to Monti Primo soon! 🇮🇹❤️

Hey everyone! Hope y’all had an awesome 4th of July! 🇺🇸🎆

We’ve got some exciting news…

The permits have officially been issued! 🎉

The old hoods are officially out, and now we’re getting everything ready for the new hood system and electrical installation. It feels great to finally be moving forward again after all the waiting.

We’re in the home stretch now. These hoods are the last major piece of the puzzle before we can open our doors. Once they’re installed, we’ll be able to start putting together the final pieces, and that means opening day is getting very close.

We know it’s been a long journey, and we can’t thank you enough for sticking with us, sharing our posts, stopping by to check on the progress, and cheering us on. Your support has kept us motivated every step of the way.

We’ll keep posting updates as things move along. Trust me… the finish line is finally in sight.

We can’t wait to welcome you into Monti Primo, serve you some incredible Italian food, and show you what we’ve been working so hard to build.

We’re getting closer, Belleview. 🇮🇹🍝❤️

🎉 Wow… 1,000 Followers! 🎉

When we first started this journey, Monti Primo was just an idea and a vision of bringing something special to Belleview—a place where families and friends can gather around the table, share great food, and create lasting memories.

Today, we’ve reached 1,000 followers, and we are truly humbled.

Thank you for every like, follow, comment, and share. Thank you for telling your friends, family, and neighbors about us. Thank you to everyone who has stopped by to check on our progress, sent encouraging messages, and even offered to lend a helping hand. Your support means more to us than words can express.

Opening a restaurant is a long and challenging journey, but your excitement and kindness remind us every day why we started this dream.

A huge thank you to all of our new neighbors and to the entire Belleview community for welcoming us with open arms. We may not have our doors open just yet, but it already feels like we’re part of something bigger than ourselves.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in Monti Primo before we’ve even served our first meal.

We can’t wait to open our doors, welcome you in like family, and cook some delicious Italian food for each and every one of you.

The best is yet to come. ❤️🍝🇮🇹

🇮🇹 Follow us if you love cannolis.

Did you know?

Cannolis originated in Sicily and have been enjoyed for hundreds of years. Traditionally, they feature a crispy pastry shell filled with sweet ricotta cream and were often made for celebrations and special occasions.

Today, they’ve become one of Italy’s most iconic desserts.

And honestly…

I don’t think anyone has ever regretted ordering a cannoli. 😄
