The winner, who will be notified by mail and email, will receive a complimentary party in March for 20 people of his/her choice on the outside patio with selected drinks and menu options for the party.

“The Valley and Tempe have always been really good to us,” says Michael Monti, owner of Monti’s. “So we thought it was only fitting to let the people who have been coming to Monti’s for generations pick the name of our new patio.”

Monti’s in Tempe is the oldest continually occupied structure in the entire greater Phoenix area and has seen the likes of everyone from Carl Hayden and Carmen Miranda to Steven Baldwin, John Wayne and Bruce Springsteen.
