On March 21, 2024, M Italian and the Chagrin Falls community was touched with tragedy and heartbreak.

Three of our long-term employees, Michael Rosenbaum, Luke Stempuzis, and Morgan Ehrenbeit, were involved in a tragic Lyft rideshare car accident that was struck by a speeding driver, with no headlights, no license and no insurance.

We are devastated to share that Morgan has tragically passed away, while Luke remains hospitalized and Michael is recovering from serious injuries.

All three close-knit friends have been an integral part of the Monven group, collectively dedicating 25 years of guest service. Their impact has touched not only our team but also our guests in countless ways.

Here's how we can support Michael, Luke, and their families with medical expenses and loss of work due to injury...

We have teamed up with our community and guests for a fundraising event to raise funds to support Michael, Luke, and their families.

Guest Bartenders comprised of guests and community activists are gathering virtual tips in their online tip jar and inviting their friends and family to join them at M Italian and M Bevy on Thursday, May 30 from 5pm to 6pm to share a cocktail served by them.
