    Amazing all around! Authentic Italian from food to service! They make you feel at home and yet a first class customer at the same time. A must visit if in the bay area! We can't wait to return already!

    This is our second year celebrating our wedding anniversary at this place. Food is always good. Simple dishes elevated and done right. My only complain is our main entree took close to an hour. Good thing we ordered a couple of appetizers and we were taking our time, but an hour wait is a little excessive. This is. it the first time this had happened either. I do commend the servers for checking on us and the hour wait seem less.

    I was treated like a Queen at Mona Lisa Mare e Monti tonight for my Birthday dinner. Giovanni, the waiter, provided the most excellent service; so friendly and professional. And the food! So fresh and delicious, and with such beautiful presentation. This is my favorite special occasion restaurant in North Beach!

    The only thing disappointing was that the fish was overcooked. Other than that it was really good

    We had the best bruschetta … ever! Seriously, we’ve had bruschetta MANY times and Mona Lisa’s was in a class by itself! The halibut and pesto pasta were also great. Plus, the service was friendly and fantastic, and it was great to sit outside in North Beach. And (another “and,” really?) the prices were reasonable! We also loved spending time in THE city; San Francisco’s demise is far from a fait accompli (sp?). And (here we go again), the only downside was I had to park so far away that I considered getting an Uber back to our car after the meal.
