Great restaurant! We had the eggplant parmigiana and the penne pasta, spicy Italian sausage and fresh mozzarella. Both were excellent!
This is the place for italian food.

Mona Lisa Restaurant & Bar is a popular spot in North Beach, known for its delicious and authentic Italian cuisine. The pasta is homemade and fresh, with standout dishes like Spaghetti Polpette, Fettuccine Leonardo, Eggplant Parmigiana, and Bistecca alla Fiorentina. The atmosphere is lively and energetic, creating a pleasant dining experience, especially on Saturday nights when parking can be challenging. The restaurant offers a good selection of drinks, with the bartender providing helpful and knowledgeable service, adding a special touch to the visit. The staff, including the manager, work hard, even when short-staffed, to ensure customers are well taken care of. Visitors have praised the quality of food, describing dishes like Ahi Tuna and lava cake with vanilla gelato as excellent. Appetizers such as Seared Scallops and the Pollo Leonardo also receive positive comments. While some reviews mention slow service and occasional cold breezes near the entrance, these do not overshadow the overall enjoyable experience. Guests often leave feeling like regulars, impressed by both the food and service. Mona Lisa remains a highly recommended destination for authentic Italian dishes in San Francisco.
