We made reservations at this place through Open Table. The restaurant's website made it look nice. The hours were posted. When we got there, the place was locked up tight, and the sidewalk in front of it was a sheet of ice. I'm writing this so nobody tries to go there and winds up breaking their neck! The bartender at the place we wound up instead said Mona Lisa had been closed for six months.

We get to the restaurant and it's closed! Why would this app allow you to make a reservation at a closed restaurant?

The service and food was good, I would only return if the music was not so loud, if felt like a night club and not a restaurant . I couldn't speak across the table!

Seems like the restaurant suffers from an identity crisis. Does it want to be a restaurant or a lounge bar? The variety of cuisine is confusing ( some Italian, sushi, and some Dominican). I can say that if u are going to be on Federal Hill the Italian food should be good and it was not.

This was our first time dining at Mona Lisa, and def will return. It has a hip vibe upon entry, with some pulsing beats in the background. Our party of 6 includes hard of hearing friends, so this was a little bit of a challenge, but there was good energy in the dining room. Service was very attentive and the menu is eclectic. It is mostly Italian, with additional flair from Puerto Rico and Sushi. I am keto and a friend has a gluten allergy — not a problem. The kitchen accommodated us beautifully. My salmon with secret sauce was delish. The portions are very generous (you might have lunch for tomorrow). There were at least two birthday celebrations that night. Fun place to celebrate. Thanks for a great dinner!

Legendary Providence restaurant. Immaculate interiors, paintings and overall vibe. Great service and seafood & pasta dishes. If you want the best survey of this classy city, and the Federal Hill neighborhood, go to Mona Lisa's!

I had to review this gem, just off Atwells Ave, A place that stands out from the crowd. Cool lighting, great background music, and most important, excellent food and cocktails! Amazing meatballs and Calamari followed by a solid pasta with white clam sauce! Bread served warm! I highly recommend!

Good service and food, but Sat. night 7pm and only one other couple in whole restaurant; no other reservations available on federal hill. Menu has nice options and different from the usual menus, but not enough gluten free options. I had GF chicken marsala which was very good made fresh. There are many gluten free websites and search options if they had gluten free items listed on the menu and would get free advertising at all the GF websites.

Extremely poor service!!! Before we went, we told them it’s a birthday thing. They let us wait for more than an hour. They only offered bread after 45 minutes, and it’s already burnt. Very disappointing….
The food and the service were both outstanding!! It was a busy Saturday night, so the food took a bit longer but that is to be expected! The servers and staff went out of their way to keep us updated. Would absolutely go back and recommend!

Food was terrific, and ample portions as well. Atmosphere is a little odd. Hot pink lighting in the dining room and electronic music with a disco beat playing a little too loudly in the background. Service was good and the food was great.

My husband and I stopped by for brunch yesterday. We were looking for an outdoor brunch spot, and I came across Mona Lisa on Google. We had the deuces wild (the fried cheese was delish!) , and the avocado toast, and we were blown away with the quality and quantity of our dishes. Absolute perfection!
Service was top notch, my husband said it’s the best service we’ve had in a long time. We were checked on by multiple servers and the owner as well.
We will definitely be back for brunch, and are looking forward to trying dinner here as well.
This is the place to be for Sunday Funday eats and drinks!
Bonus points for having a parking lot in Federal Hill!
