Mona Lisa Restaurant & Bar

• ★★★★★

  Stopped in here for dinner in December 2025 (right before New Years). It was recommended. I was visiting SFO and figured why not. The location is relatively easy to find or get to especially if using Uber (or Waymo). Reservations recommended, but walk-ins are possible as I did see a few who did. The restaurant is definitely all about the Italian cuisine and ambiance. Potraits and renditions of Mona Lisa drape the walls. Lots of themed Italian art pieces and decorations. The service was good. The waitstaff attentive and timely. The food was equally good however, it was 'expected'. I mean the op

  We did NOT plan on ending our night at Mona Lisa Café… but thank God we did. My best friend and I were having one of those main character San Francisco days. Perfect weather, shopping, rooftop drinks, Irish coffees… just out here thriving. Naturally, we waited until almost 10 PM to realize we were starving. 🙃 We made our way to North Beach thinking, “It’s fine, we’ll find something.” Narrator: it was not fine. Everything was closing.

  From the time we entered service was excellent. Bread and butter were brought to the table in 10 min. It was ok. No olive oil etc. Good selection of wine. Chianti was pleasant. The Vermentino white wine excellent. Lasagna was excellent. Crispy pasta sheets with lots of meat. The other meat dishes were well liked also. For desert we had tasty traditional tiramisu which had a delicate flavor. Panacotta was good. Also had Orange Tiramisu which was more like an orange cake. Service was excellent and timely.

  Always our favorite in north beach! Great food! Thwy have moved across the street on Columbus. Under staffed with slow service. 4 tables of people and still took over 30 mins to get our food and they got my order completely wrong. Big difference between carbonera and lobster raviolis! Hopevthey are better next time.

  If I could give this restaurant 0 stars, I would. The service was disappointing from start to finish. The staff were dismissive, unhelpful, and came across as arrogant, which made the overall experience quite unpleasant. We waited an excessive amount of time for our meals, and considering the price, the food simply did not justify the cost, fine but not good. To make matters worse, when it came time to pay, I wasn’t given the option to choose my tip. I ended up paying with cash, and instead of informing me that they didn’t have enough change available, I was left following staff around the res
