Moni’s Pasta & Pizza renews Arlington lease Moni’s Pasta & Pizza Restaurant customers, rejoice; the longtime Arlington eatery has renewed its lease with three, five-year options for its anchor spot in central Arlington. “Moni’s is an icon for this area.

He immigrated to the United States in 1974 and opened a diner in Connecticut, where he met his wife. They moved to Dallas in 1980 and opened two restaurants and a catering business before moving to Florida in 1986. They came back to Texas in 1994.
