Great Atmosphere and customer service!!! – The Mona Lisa restaurant is the best Italian restaurant that I have had the pleasure to dine at in a long time. I visited San Francisco with my Parents in May of 2008. We live in New York and have had the opportunity to dine at many nice Italaiian restaurants. In our opinion the Mona Lisa by far is the best Italian restaurant that we have ever eaten in. The sauce is superb!!! We also had an anitpasto salad that was wonderful. We would recommend this restaurnat to anyone visisting th... read more
Great Italian Food and Friendly Italian Atmosphere!! – I come from a large Italian family and enjoy eating out when it feels like family; that's what I found at Mona Lisa. I took out of town family for a day in SF and we ate at Mona Lisa. This is the third time I've eaten here and I have never been disappointed. The Risotto selection is very large and sooo yummy that's it's hard to choose. Good size portions, very reasonable prices and friendly, attentive service. Get a seat near the window or outside for great people watchi... read more
my favorite! – I love this restaurant. It has a great decor, and yummy food. I would eat there every day if I could afford it. there are a million choices to choose from. make a resa if you can!
Horrible service – The food was horrible, but worse, their service was a nightmare. It's a shame that I still have to give them one-star because there is no non-star rating in the system. They don't deserve any star!!! When we asked for a check after our meal, the server had us wait for 30 minutes and the restaurant wasn't all that busy!!! When we asked them to split the check because we needed split checks, the server and the manager exchanged Italian profanity. I smiled as if I didn't understand the Italian, but f$#@ them!... read more
Bland food, slow service – As out-of-town tourists, we seemed to be the perfect target for this joint. Their menu looked impressive and we made an impulsive decision to stop by. While the restaurant was not full at all, our service was very s_l_o_w. We even thought of walking out a couple of times. The wine we ordered was not in stock, finding a replacement took the server another 30 minutes. The salad that I ordered was just perfectly fine, not horrible, but not memorable either. The gnocchi that I ordered were bland and th... read more
Best atmosphere, largest menu in North Beach's Little Italy – I've been to San Francisco 4 times, and I've been to Mona Lisa 6 times. It is now a regular stop for me everytime I'm in town. I've tried branching out to other Italian restaurants nearby, but it's never quite as good. My favorite dishes are the pumpkin ravioli with sage brown butter sauce and the gorgonzola gnocchi. If you're going for quantity, you'll be more full from the gnocchi as the 5 ravioli servings aren't as big. The only dish I've ever been disappointed... read more
Fabulous service!!! – This is a wonderful restaurant with great service! The owner was so personable and friendly! I have been to Italy and I have to say that the food at this place is just as good as the food there. I would definately recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for great food and wonderful service!
As a tourist, this was great for me – During my trip to San Francisco, I unfortunately had terrible luck with restaurants. Besides being overpriced, I felt like the food wasn't anything special - at least not the way everyone talked it up. So it's not surprising to me that my dinner at Mona Lisa was the best meal I had in the three days I was there. I had the gnocchi with gorganzola and it was creamy and delicious. I was absolutely starving and cleaned my plate. I just couldn't get enough. After the meal I had the tiramisu, ... read more
Bland food, so so service – This was a disappointing experience. True, only emergency-level hunger could lure an SF native and longtime resident into a tourist trap on Columbus Street. But still, we expected the food to be decent. The wine was quite good, but the spinach salad was very bland. I ordered risotto with eggplant, which has a tomato-based sauce. It was almost tasteless and did not agree with me for whatever reason and I spent the rest of the night miserable. The service was slow, even though the restaurant was not... read more
