I do not recommend this place @monalysaa Italian restaurant & pizzeria. They hire people like Alicia (lead waitress) who is a home wrecker. She is currently pregnant by another woman's husband. She broke up a marriage and is proud of it. No respectable family business would hire and host individuals with no true family values.

Our out of town party of three visited recently and wanted to try lots of dishes and eat family style. Jordan provided excellent and patient service; one among us had many many requests and she continued to smile (thanks!). The frogs legs appetizer was unusual and quite delicious. Braised and so tender, they were served on a lemony caper sauce with Italian peppers and potatoes. Calamari was good but would have been more appealing if the breading was browned. House salads were very basic-lettuce and a couple tiny tomatoes and the house Italian dressing was orange in color. Different but good. The clams and linguini in white sauce had too much sauce but there were LOADS of clams. Spaghetti was solid; sausages and meatballs were spot on. The veal saltimboca was excellent but over sauced and a bit too cheesy for my tastes and the spinach was lost underneath the veal. We had two desserts, one pistachio, and one chocolate, and they were so good we practically licked the plates clean.

The restaurant isn’t much to look at inside and is small. It’s also BYOB, so plan ahead.

Overall a good place for a nice Italian meal.

The food was exceptional, the service was great, and we will definitely be back. Numerous selections along with a vegan menu so everyone can find something they like. The dining room could use some tweaking, but overall, I recommend it.

Dietary restrictions: Good selection of vegan dishes.

We tried MonAlyssa for the first time and have found our new "go to place".The staff was friendly the dining room ambiance was soothing and enjoyable. And the food was great!I was with a party of 5 and each and every dish had it's own distinct taste, as they should.

We came here on a Saturday night with a reservation for a group of 6. You enter through the pizza shop to get to the dining room and were promptly seated. Our server was excellent! She was very polite, friendly, did not mind repeating herself and was very patient with the elderly members of our group. The food was delicious, the portions were huge and everyone enjoyed their selection. Found a new gem with great prices plus BYOB. Only downside is the dining room gets a little loud. But we will definitely go back!

Vegetarian options: i nostri pasti erano deliziosi. Ci auguriamo che in futuro ci sia più scelta per i vegani
