" Amazing experience! The environment was cozy, and the staff made us feel at home. I thoroughly enjoyed my gnocchi; it was fresh and flavorful. I loved how they had gluten-free options, which is becoming a rarity in Italian restaurants these days. My friend had the lasagna, which was a generous size and equally delicious. Looking forward to coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Mona Lisa was delightful! I had the bruschetta for starters and lasagna for the main course. Both were fresh, with flavors that transported me back to Italy. Service was prompt, even if they were busy. I look forward to returning for more, especially for their renowned tiramisu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mona Lisa’s was a recommend from friends, and I’m so glad I tried it! The authentic vibes, combined with the cozy atmosphere made for a great dinner experience. I tried the fettuccine alfredo, which was indulgently creamy and delicious! If you get the chance, also grab one of their desserts; they are known to be fantastic! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are searching for an Italian place that serves food closer to home cooking, try Mona Lisa’s. I particularly enjoyed their vegetarian options, which are scarce in many other Italian restaurants. The caprese salad was fresh and vibrant, and the pesto pasta was heavenly! The overall meal felt comforting. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait if you arrive during peak hours, but it’s worth it for the quality of the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Mona Lisa Italian Foods was simply delightful! The moment I stepped in, I felt the warmth of the Italian ambiance. I ordered the meat ravioli and was impressed by the freshness of the ingredients; it tasted like it was made in a traditional Italian kitchen. The portions were generous, and I couldn't finish my plate despite wanting to, so I took some home! The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic Italian dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mona Lisa is a quaint little Italian eatery that impressed me! I was greeted warmly upon entry and seated promptly. My spaghetti carbonara was incredible! Rich flavors and perfectly cooked. I also liked the relaxed dining pace, I never felt rushed. I would come back in a heartbeat! " (*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*)
