I was curious if anyone knew if this Monte's sauce had anything to do with the Greenwich Village restaurant Monte's Trattoria?

BTW, my parents had their first date here - and they were married in 1960! When we were kids, they would take us here a couple times a year. The owner at the time, Giovanni (I think he's the father of the current owner) used to greet everyone at the door and he always remembered us. Many years later, I remember taking a date there and he still remembered me.
