AtmospherePastaTasty foodGenerous portions
Great food and good service. The carbonara metodo classico tasted amazing! The spaghetti pomodoro was good too. The portion size was good, but the food was so good I wished that I could've had more😄
Beautiful restaurant with a nice vibe to it. The staff was helpful and checked in on us from time to time. The restroom is accessible for any kind of individual which isn't very common. Very cool place!
I went to Monalisa with a group of friends to celebrate Cah’s birthday, and everything was perfect. The atmosphere was great, making it ideal for a special occasion.
The portions are very generous, and all the pasta dishes we tried were absolutely delicious and well-seasoned. Everything came out just right, and you could really taste the quality in each dish.
It was such a lovely experience overall… definitely a place I’d come back to!
Our host at our west end B&B recommended Mona Lisa for dinner. We made a same day reservation for 8 pm because their first seating was full. We are so glad we did! The restaurant is cozy, food delicious and authentic, and the whole experience made us feel like we were back in Italy! The restaurant is also on a nice street with an up scale bar and a traditional Irish pub, so lots of good options for before and after dinner.
