MYSTERY DINER: History, delicious Italian cuisine on menu at Mona's

Toluca is a city of less than 1,500 citizens, and yet it has twin Italian restaurants of wide renown located within a short city block of each other. When you mention it to someone not from central or north-central Illinois, they tend to give you a suspicious, doubtful look. That's only because they've never been to Mona's or Capponi's.
