Mentor Restaurant Guide

Located in the Mentor Corners Shopping Center, Molinari's opened in August of 1991 as a Specialty Food & Wine Store. Chef/Owner Randal Johnson, a veteran of restaurants, clubs and hotel dining, wanted to escape the nights and weekends that the restaurant business required, but still yearned to practice his craft and stay involved in food and wine. The Market seemed like the perfect opportunity to do just that.

Hundreds of fine wines, thousands of specialty food items and creative upscale prepared foods would keep the chef busy but still enable him to enjoy his young family. One of the things that makes Molinari's unique is that instead of offering a traditional restaurant wine list, we have a retail wine store within the restaurant! You can browse the shelves for the perfect bottle of wine to accompany your dinner and simply pay retail price and a $5 corkage fee. That's a tremendous savings from typical restaurant wine list prices! If you find something you really like, you can take a bottle home or order it by the case. We offer a 10% case discount! With approximately 700 bottles of wine to choose from, our guests can always find their favorites or something new to try.
