" What a fantastic find! The food is simply delightful, truly captures the essence of real Italian cuisine. The tiramisu was the lightest and fluffy one I've ever had. The service team was excellent, making great recommendations, and attentive throughout our meal. The ambiance felt very authentic and warm, creating a lovely dining experience. I will make sure to come back every time I'm in Huntington Beach! " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance here is charming and warm. I ordered the risotto with mushrooms, which was creamy and packed with flavor. Unfortunately, I did have to wait some time for my meal, and the place was a bit crowded. However, I appreciated the complimentary bread that came to the table while I waited. Overall, it was a positive experience but could have been better if the wait was shorter. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Mona Lisa Cucina last week and immediately fell in love with the place! The atmosphere is unlike any other—perfectly cozy yet refined. The gnocchi I had was the best I ever tasted, soft and packed with flavor. Our waiter was prompt and friendly, which made a lovely dinner even better. While it's a bit pricey, you absolutely get what you pay for. This place is definitely a keeper! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am so happy we found this little place. Our last-minute decision turned into a wonderful evening! The staff were so friendly, and the food was even better. I had the chicken cacciatore, which was incredibly flavorful, and my friend ordered the seafood linguine, which was just as amazing. Ended our night with a delightful tiramisu, and it could not have been better. Will definitely come back on our next trip! " (*Curated Review*)
