Nick Marie's Esta Esta

About

Nick and Helen Marie purchased Beatty’s Restaurant in Monroeville, Pennsylvania on October 5, 1955, and named it Marie’s Restaurant, serving as a coffee shop and dining room. Then in 1962, they changed the name to Esta Esta going into fine dining. They were the first restaurant of its kind to serve surf and turf (filet and lobster) in the area. All of the Marie children, Kathleen, Michael, Richard, and Maria worked in the family business throughout their lives. Nick passed away in November 2001 and Helen in February 2011. ​The restaurant is still owned by the four children and operated by Michael & Tammy. Esta Esta is the last originally owned family restaurant in Monroeville and is proud to be celebrating 65 years.
