Monti's La Casa Vieja is Closing the Doors

The famous eatery Monti's La Casa Vieja will be closing its doors this month in Phoenix after about 60 years. The restaurant works since 1956 will be closing its doors on November 17th, after nearly 60 years in operation. Monti's La Casa Vieja is the oldest restaurant in Phoenix and also the oldest building occupation the in metro Phoenix. Among the reasons the owner Michael Monti says, the increasing the amount of meat and high trade costs are to blame. The building now has new owners who will invest in the construction of high towers. In a total of two towers, which one will be a hotel with 16 floors and 247 rooms and another building will be 15 floors of offices only. Many wonder if the Hayden House will be preserved, the answer is yes. The building which in 1984 was placed on the National Register of Historic Places remain preserved. Leonard F. Monti bought the Hayden House in 1954 and opened the neighborhood steakhouse, since buying the restaurant became a very well-known landmark. In the restaurant you can choose from 14 dining rooms, the restaurant has a signature chops, ribs, steaks, and even the well-known Roman bread. It's hard when a place with so much history has to close the doors, yet another milestone in the history and culture of Phoenix. But if you've never tasted the delights or you're interested in visiting, you still have time, you have about 10 days to schedule and go visit. It is a unique opportunity.
