" We had a lovely dinner at Mona Lisa! The environment is authentically Italian, and it felt like we were dining in Italy! The bruschetta we got as an appetizer was delightful, and my pasta dish was generous in portion sizes! Although our waiter seemed to have a lot on their plate, the rest of the staff stepped up and ensured we were taken care of. Overall, a great experience and one I would gladly replicate.

" Dinner at Mona Lisa was a fantastic experience! I had one of the specials – a rich, hearty meat sauce served over spaghetti. The flavors were bold yet comforting, remind me of my grandmother’s cooking. They even had gluten-free options available for those who need it. The server was friendly and offered attentiveness after an initial wait at the beginning. Highly recommend for anyone needing a great plate of Italian! " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible experience overall! The ambiance was warm, and the food was rich with authentic flavors. My spouse and I started with calamari and had the gnocchi as our main course. Both dishes were excellent! The service was prompt, even with the Saturday night crowd. We’ll definitely be making Mona Lisa a regular stop on our visits to Little Italy! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Mona Lisa, and for the most part, it did not disappoint. The decor gave off a quaint old-world Italian charm, which I loved. The pasta was homemade, which you could clearly taste! I tried their famous lasagna, which was cheesy and flavorful. My only complaint was about the service; my waiter seemed a bit overwhelmed and we waited longer for our food than expected. Still, the food made up for it. Recommended for anyone who loves true Italian food. I will be returning soon with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mona Lisa was an unexpected find! The Italian food is the real deal, and they treat you like family. I got the chicken parmesan and it was loaded with cheese! The dessert options all looked tempting. The wait time was reasonable and overall, it was worth every penny. Can't wait to come back for another treat! " (*Curated Review*)

" When in Little Italy, Mona Lisa is a must-stop! The atmosphere is inviting, and the food is superb! I tried the baked rigatoni and the flavor was phenomenal. The service was not as quick since the place was bustling, but certainly, it was impeccable. I loved everything about it and will return to explore more of their menu options! " (*Curated Review*)
