Amazing pasta bolognese. Be prepared to wait. They close when they want so be prepared that if you show up at, say 9 pm, they may already be closed, even if the restaurant looks like there are free tables.

Great Italian food at the outer end of the quarter in a non-touristy place. No reservations, but will call when table available.

Great service. Great food. This is a beloved restaurant for a reason. I’m so glad the community came together to help save Mona Lisa.

Great little Italian restaurant. Exactly what we were looking for that evening. We had the shrimp Scampi and Chicken Picatta. Both were fantastic. Large portions and great prices. We now understand why the locals protect this great spot.

Amazing experience!

The owner was nasty and rude. Our waiter and servers were friendly and attentive. The pizza was horrible and reminded us of a frozen grocery store pizza. The stuffed mushrooms were overly salty.

Great prices, sassy owner, wonderful staff, terrific food. What else can I say?! We immensely enjoyed our meal here. We were the last table to be seated which was actually after their posted closing time but they honored us. The bathroom is outside and in another building but was fully stocked and clean. The tables had white paper table covering and crayons. There are pictures of modified Mona Lisa paintings everywhere including the menus, so it was fun to look around.

Too crowded and loud. Waiter was kind and attentive. Food was tasty and the menu had a great variety for everyone. Prices were decent for the French Quarter.

I would give this amazing spot 6 stars if I could. We were looking to explore on our 4th night in town and stumbled on this gem. The vibe, the food, the service- all incredible. Check this place out!!

The wonderful aroma wafted to the street while we waited over an hour on a Sunday evening, BUT WORTH THE WAIT.. FOOD WAS EXCELLENT... The hubbys were drinking beer and the owner put their brand on ice, they even let them have a couple out on the street while we waited. Would definitely go back!!!
