MONELLI – Trattoria & Bar | Kempen

Lively Italian trattoria in Kempen's old town with slow food, an aperitivo bar and its own adjoining bar, "Treppchen".

In the heart of Kempen, MONELLI serves Italian food guided more by feeling and flavour than by rigid rules. The name is Italian for little rascals – and the concept is just as cheeky, playful and full of heart.

Food & menu

The menu features traditional Italian recipes reinterpreted with an emphasis on regional ingredients. Expect handmade pasta, meat and fish dishes and Italian street food – all freshly prepared. Desserts follow family recipes, and the aperitivo bar is the place to start the evening the Italian way.

Atmosphere

MONELLI describes itself as "Kempen's loudest trattoria" – lively and unconventional. For a calmer setting, the light-filled conservatory offers a more relaxed spot. In summer the beer garden invites you for an aperitivo in the open air, and the adjoining bar "Treppchen", with its own entrance, sits right next door.
