"Mona Lisa is a classic Italian spot in SD on the very northern edge of Little Italy. The building has two parts: one is the deli and shop (which is fabulous) and the other is the restaurant (which this review covers). The restaurant is relaxed and chill, nice for a date or a family dinner vibe. The staff are prompt and courteous, and check in regularly. The menu isn?t gigantic but it has a wide selection of pizzas, pastas, sandwiches, meat entrees, salads, and seafood. For all the upsides of the restaurant, the actual food itself isn?t much to write home about. Don?t get me wrong?it?s decent, and certainly not bad tasting, undercooked, or badly prepared. It just has no pizzazz and tastes slightly bland. It?s something you could get anywhere. That said, it?s worth trying at least once. The meat ravioli is house-made. So I suggest trying it. The veggie pizza and the salads are also pretty good options. The Italian sodas are good as well."
