Scary bad! I have to rate it one star because zero is not an option! Caesar salad: Made with mayonnaise as a base, or a REALLY cheap store bought dressing. Chicken San Francisco: Chicken drenched in salt topped with canned artichoke hearts. Gnocchi Fondenti: Think mashed potatoes and cheese. Also they are so proud of the wine by the glass that they don't list the brand and the won't let you taste it, is it still 1965? Unfortunately we wasted a dinner in a wonderful food town like San Francisco. Please learn from our experien... read more

Great place for good Italian food – I have dined here many times with my family over the past few years while we have been on vacation in San Fran . Each time the fod was consistantly good and we are comming back and look forward to stopping by again. They have an extensive menue and the food was very well prepared. I saw some negatives on the list and I really question who wrote them. The food on every visit has been consistantly great. Good size portions, well prepared and authentic, and the service was good as I recall. I... read more

Italian Restaurant – Tonight I was invited from my brother to eat Italian food, we were walking on columbus ave. and we found this cool Italian restaurant Mona Lisa, attracted from the lights and the owner we stopped and tried the best food ever. Everything is perfect and tipical Italian, I am not living in San Francisco, but If I was for sure I was going every other night. I would love to come back, I hope that soon I will.

Great Italian Food – I love the Mona Lisa, and go there on every trip I make to San Francisco. I love the little dining room and the service is good. Every time I go I get the Veal Parmigiana, so I have yet to try any of the other dishes on the extensive menu.

Great Italian in the heart of North Beach – This place was absolutely wonderful. My boyfriend and I were walking up and down Columbus looking for a place to eat for my birthday and this place was jam packed. Something about it drew us in. The wait was short and the atmosphere was wonderful. Our waiter suggested some great menu items that were absolutely delicious!!! I had the Funghi Porcini with Chicken and it was superb. My bf got veal with mozarella and prosciutto. Very good!!! Not to mention, the house wine was tasty and ... read more

Best food ever!!! – If eating is your passion you must try this restaurant!!! Incredible food, impeccable service, and wonderful wine. Best food I have had in United States, and easily competes with the best around the world that I have tried (and I have tried quite a few!). I simply loved the pizza and the ravioli in Mona Lisa?but the menu offer so many choises that every time I could not try something different, and I was always surprise how delicious is everything!!!! But Food is just one part of the equation with service... read more
