Just had our anniversary dinner there and everything was fantastic! Glennie (probably spelled wrong) was a wonderful server for our group and all of our food was delicious! Our appetizers (calamari, artichoke and salad) were all tasty along with everyone’s dinner from veal to seafood to cannelloni. And dessert was great too…lemoncello cake and tiramisu! Thank you for a wonderful, fun celebration!!

We couldn't get a reservation last year. Everyone bragged how good it was. This we got right in. Well I know why, food wasn't good, and yes the crouton was hard. There was 3 of us no one was happy. Maybe Wednesday is just a bad night for mona

I was able to secure a reservation for us at this restaurant, which typically requires booking a week in advance, but fortunately, someone canceled. I must say, the food was absolutely amazing, and I would definitely dine there again on my next visit to town.

Authentic, comforting, classic Italian food - cooked and served by a wonderful family! They do an amazing job feeding large parties as well. This is my go-to spot for Italian food in Sarasota!Dietary restrictions: Knowledgeable & attentive to dietary restrictions
Mona Lisa is our “go to” restaurant whenever we have guests in town as it’s a sure safe bet that it’s going to be an absolute hit! The food, the atmosphere, the ambiance and most of all the personalized service is second to none. Everyone we bring there is always so pleased! If you haven’t been to Mona Lisa yet then you are missing out on the best restaurant in Sarasota!
