Food was good, a bit pricey but good service too. I would like to see an optional menu with pictures of the food. Thanks to all those that posted pictures as those helped my daughter with making her selection. I had the shrimp special which was full of flavor. Will be going back to try something off the regular menu. If it's your first time, let the staff know for you might get a dessert at the end of your meal on the house
It was my first time here for my first girls night out, it been awhile and we all craving Italian food, and our friend found this restaurant through yelp, our waitress Justine went above and beyond, answering all our questions about the food and also recommending some of her favorites entrees, we all enjoyed our food, plus were get a surprised tiramisu at the end of our meal. Thank you so much for an memorable memories. I will definitely come back next time.
Of you're expecting a top-notch and super-authentic Italian restaurant, well, this isn't one. But it's a heckuva lot better than Olive Garden, Romano Maccaroni Grill, Maggiano's and many other chain restaurants that will serve you unauthentic and bland pretend-Italian food. Prices are moderate, service is good, ambiance is OK, considering it's located in a strip mall.
We dropped in for a dinner after a work trip from Seattle, and I cannot praise this establishment enough.
Welcoming, and provided a great atmosphere for our wrap up to the day.
The dishes were fresh, unique in adding a mystery nut to the dish, and accompanied my vegetarian Manager. All around, phenomenal service, elegant and tasteful for a drop in.
This is one of our favorite restaurants. Even better that it's Italian. They have my favorite Italian Beer and my Wife's favorite Wine. Everything is fresh and prepared to order. Our Waiter is Tony and he does a great job taking care of us. The place just went through a remodeling or expansion which was a bonus. The young kitchen staff works together great and prepares the food to meet expectations.
This is a great cozy, comfy neighborhood Italian Restaurant. I love the food here. Enjoyed the Pollo con Limmone, stuffed shrimp scampi and a good bottle of Malbec YUM!
Great Italian spot! Will be back for sure. Every staff member is top notch! Rodney is the best! Thank you Mona Lisa Cucina! You just earned a group of regulars!
Very welcoming staff. Nicely explained everything because it was our first time. Started with 2 salads, wedge with a homemade cesar dressing and the insalata beet salad. Both we cold, fresh and delicious. ( If some where can't make good a salad don't eat the hot food.)
We split the risotto dish .. was fantastic, healthy portion enough for 2.
Price was just under 50
We will be coming back to try more. THANKS GUYS
This restaurant is a hidden gem in the Huntington beach's area. The food was delicious and my waitress was the lady with short hair. I don't remember her name, but she was very nice and friendly.
I'm sure I'll return and bring my husband here to experience the excellent food and service.
My boyfriend and I are not italian food fans, but this place changed our minds. Nothing compared to Olive Gardens or other italian food places. This place was DELICIOUS! You can see the chefs cooking it, and it tastes so freshly cooked. The portions are big and well worth what you're paying for. Everyone here was kind, and the atmosphere felt so relaxing. Our server had great recommendations for drinks AND food, and she made us feel very welcoming. We will definitely be coming here again, because this place is now my favorite restaurant.
