Best

I don't come here nearly enough because of all the other options in the area, but Mona Lisa is a great little place at the north end of Little Italy. I especially like the market...

Editorial review from Citysearch 11/25/2012

I couldn?t get enough of their delicious and filling sandwiches. I would love to take my friends here after a night of drinking. This place is great for breakfast and brunch. more

Editorial review from Citysearch 10/25/2012

The restaurant is good quality with large portions, but it's the deli that I really love. You can get delicious sandwiches made for you or sliced Italian deli meats that make you feel like you're in the old country! more

Editorial review from Citysearch 9/21/2012

Loved these guys! Go there all the time and really enjoy their spaghetti meatballs. more

Solid Place in Little Italy 1/3/2012

I don't come here nearly enough because of all the other options in the area, but Mona Lisa is a great little place at the north end of Little Italy. I especially like the market out front. it's a great place if you are looking for a good family restaurant without the high price you find elsewhere in the neighborhood. more

One of many very fine restaurants in Little Italy 10/28/2008

I live in San Diego and have been to many of the restaurants in Little Italy. Mona Lisa will not disappoint. I recommend the Veal Scallopini and the Chicken Marsala. The salad that comes with the dinner topped with their oil and vinegar dressing is very tasty. Start with a glass of Pinot Grigio by Zenato. more

Best Tiramisu Anywhere! Go early or late on Friday and Saturday nights. 8/14/2007

Mona Lisa is by far one of my favorite restaurants in San Diego. I've been going there for about 13 years, and one of the main reasons is the tiramisu! It is the best. I don't think it has any kahlua at all - I think the sponge cake is just soaked in espresso. And that cream cheese! Oh my gosh - literally to die for! Pros: AWESOME Tiramisu! Reasonable prices. Cons: Parking, Occasionally service is slow more

Best Tiramisu Anywhere! Go early or late on Friday and Saturday nights. 8/13/2007

Mona Lisa is by far one of my favorite restaurants in San Diego. I've been going there for about 13 years, and one of the main reasons is the tiramisu! It is the best. I don't think it has any kahlua at all - I think the sponge cake is just soaked in espresso. And that cream cheese! Oh my gosh - literally to die for! If you go during the week, you can pretty much get seated right away. If you go on a Friday or Saturday night, I'd recommend going early or later in the evening. Many times I have waited around 20 minutes or so for a table, so plan accordingly. Their food is pretty good. I usually get the lasagna marinara (sometimes the cooks add onions, sometimes they don't - I like it without), or the cheese raviolis with marinara sauce. My fiancee will get their meat dishes, and thinks they're pretty good. Their dinner salads are simple but good, and I love their minestrone soup, though on occasion it has been a bit bland. A little salt usually helps. The service (most of the time) leaves something to be desired. Every so often we'll get a great waitress, but more often than not the service is a bit slow, and you'll realize you've been sitting there for 10 minutes or so with a drink just waiting to be refilled. However, the food and reasonable prices usually make up for this, and I generally try to go by there now whenever I'm in San Diego (recently moved to LA). Pros: AWESOME Tiramisu! Reasonable prices. Cons: Parking, Occasionally service is slow more
