Steve Haxhiaj worked his way up from busboy to owner, but was forced to close the restaurant in 2008 when a landlord demanded a six-figure increase of his annual rent.
Over the course of a decade, Haxhiaj worked his way up from busboy to owner, but was forced to close the eatery in 2008 when the landlord demanded a six-figure increase of his annual rent.
At its old location, the restaurant had been awarded three-stars by the New York Times, and was a premier spot for Manhattan’s well-heeled diners craving pasta.Matthew McDermott During his first decade working there, Haxhiaj held just about every role at Il Monello. First a busboy, he graduated and became a waiter, and then a maitre’d — and even did stints as bartender and in the kitchen. Haxhiaj’s passion for the place was so clear that Giovannetti made him a manager, even though he lacked the required experience.And when Giovannetti retired in 2001, he entrusted his beloved restaurant to Haxhiaj.“It wasn’t easy for me to walk away from that lease,” Haxhiaj said.
