Mare e Monte on Huebner Road near Floyd Curl Drive added a new key lime pie to their menu for the next two weeks.

According to a post on their social media,100% of the pie’s sales will be donated to the Florida Disaster Foundation.

“I come from Kosovo,” owner Prince Balkaj said, “in 1999, we lost everything from the war. Americans helped us to build it back. It’s my chance to give back.”

Mare e Monte recently opened and serves authentic Italian lunch and dinner. You can enjoy fresh salads, flavorful pasta and tasty steak dishes.
