Mona Lisa Ristorante Italiano

Mona Lisa is divided into two sections, a low key lounge and a bright modern dining room. We came on a quiet weekday evening, and was warmly welcomed with prompt and attentive service. Mona Lisa serves in house made pasta and sauces. You can immediately taste the freshness and the nuances that come from it being house made. Whether that is for everyone is to each their own but I find it very good value for what you are getting.<br/ <br/ If you are looking for a modern Italian restaurant that also happens to serve some classics done very well, Mona Lisa’s doesn’t disappoint.

Mona Lisa has such authentic Italian food! Never once was I disappointed with my order. At the most recent visit, I had the pane fritto (fried fluffy pillow-like dough with tomato sauce), Italian salad, fettuccine alfredo and pollo parmiggiano. The meal was delicious!!! If you are looking for a great authentic Italian restaurant for special occasions, this is the place!!

The food at Mona Lisa is tasty but I found the price for main meal portion sizes is too much and that's why my rating is lower. We ordered two appetizers. The beer battered mushrooms which are good and price is good. The bread with roasted garlic and olive oil. Basically get a whole loaf of bread for 8$ which is a great price. I ordered pasta with tomato sauce and added meatballs. I got 4 meatballs for 7$. However my pasta without the meatballs was 19$. 19$ for pasta and tomato sauce. I ate it all and was still hungry. They do half portions, and I honestly thought I received a half portion in error but the bill said 19$. It tasted super good but so expensive for what you get. My partner got pasta with housemade sausage and liked it. I think it was about 26$ and again I felt the pasta portion was small. I took a gluten free cake to go for 9$ and it was a good size and very yummy. So, basically the food tastes good. The service is impeccable. But I don't know if I would go back knowing how much they charge for main meals but feel hungry after.

Ordered the Mona Lisa special pizza when I went here for lunch. It was delicious! Caesar was okay, not the best in the city. Decor is a little odd, not sure where to enter sometimes.

Great authentic food, good atmosphere and I had perfect service from my server.  We went on 'Wine Wednesday ' and got very good wine at a reasonable price.  I love the vibe in this place and will be back.
