“This was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The pizza sandwich was mind boggling and the pizza was almost as good. We sat at the bar and had a nice conversation with the bartender and pizza chef. I got a closer look at the process and science behind the oven and really appreciate the effort the employees put into the place. If I ever visit again, I will definitely be visiting here.“

We watch them prepare the best mixed drinks that were made with full to the brim shots. We couldn't have asked for a better evening of dining.“

Mona Lisa Pasta Inc Italian • $
921 Preston Ave, Charlottesville

“I wandered into this place on the advice of my neighbors. I went to pick up a few meals to store for evenings when we are busy. I saw a few people order sandwiches which I assume they were eating there. They only have a few tables. This would be a good place to grab a quick bite. It's more of a market than a restaurant. They have a great selection of wines, breads, and meals. They also have pizza dough and fresh pasta. I chose a few frozen meals (which are still in my freezer) and got some of the pasta. They will sell it to you by the pound and will cut it fresh while you wait. It reminded me of the markets in Italy where you get fresh pasta from the deli cases. The pasta was wonderful! I will definitely be going back for more!“

“Went here based on the recommendation of a fiend. It was Valentine's Day and I was alone (!), so the only option was to eat at the bar - not my favorite and I almost left. So glad I did not.The meal was wonderful - among the best I have had in a while. The bread with hummus and muhammara was excellent and the seared haloumi was sublime. The peasant pasta was excellent as well. Desserts were a little limited but the chocolate pots de creme was fine. The service was outstanding throughout.It'd be nice if they allowed singles to sit at tables (there were tables available throughout my stay) and the dessert offerings could be expanded a bit. That said, the appetizers and main were top notch - I'd definitely go again, this time with a companion.“

“Solid pasta (the meatballs are mouth-wateringly good), good pizza, and more cups than you know what to do with. Everything except the pizza is in a cup. Very easy to order and pick up. Location can be a little difficult to park near, but it's good enough to deal with. Would recommend if you're near the mall and want smaller portions and Italian food.“

“This is a busy, quaint Italian restaurant. It's very family friendly. Casual attire. Laid back. The quality of the food is definitely worth 4 stars. The pink sauce is amazing. A lot of options to choose from. Standard wait times. Appropriate quantity/quality for the prices. A great place to swing by if you're in the area. If you're ordering pasta though, order extra sauce they are a little skimpy on that.Parking: It's a busy area with many shops, the parking can be difficult at times but is normally pretty average.Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly, booths, coloring books, booster seats ECT.Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible to handicapped.“

“The delivery was fast, the driver was friendly and the pizzas were hot and fresh. The pizzas were pretty good. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give them an 8, though i travel a lot and have pizza in every part of the country, so I'm comparing Vocellis against pizza places all over.... Bottom line: the pizza is better than any of the pizza chains and I'll definitely get more next time I'm in town.“

“It was good. Service was great. Employees were attentive and kind. Prices were seemed about right (not too expensive) for being a nice looking restaurant on the downtown mall. Ordered pasta, pizza, and took home a tiramisu. They have a few vegetarian options. Complimentary bread was nice. Pizza was a good pizza. Pasta and tiramisu were bomb. Would definitely go back. Seems like it would be a nice spot for a summer lunch date where you eat outside. Also looked like they had a couple good cocktails, but didn’t order any this time.“
