I wandered into this place on the advice of my neighbors. I went to pick up a few meals to store for evenings when we are busy. I saw a few people order sandwiches which I assume they were eating there. They only have a few tables. This would be a good place to grab a quick bite. It's more of a market than a restaurant. They have a great selection of wines, breads, and meals. They also have pizza dough and fresh pasta. I chose a few frozen meals (which are still in my freezer) and got some of the pasta. They will sell it to you by the pound and will cut it fresh while you wait. It reminded me of the markets in Italy where you get fresh pasta from the deli cases. The pasta was wonderful! I will definitely be going back for more!

We all know Cville suffers from a mediocre pizza scene, but Mona Lisa is definitely one of the better (& cheaper) places in town. Will be my new go-to pizza place for large orders! Would recommend the sausage and onion.

While staying in the area for work, I stopped in for a very late lunch (just a sandwich), not knowing this was not only a restaurant (with pizza, pasta, and sandwiches to take out), but also a little “take & bake” and Italian grocery store. After ordering my sandwich, I saw many things that caught my eye, on shelves and in their freezer, so I ended up picking up several more items to take home.My sandwich was AWESOME! I got the Val d’Aosta Sandwich and the focaccia it was on was incredible! The meats, toppings, etc all came together perfectly and it was really tasty!I’d love to go back and try their pizza next time…. They have a beautiful brick oven pizza flaming up in the kitchen, which is viewable from the store. Staff was very helpful and friendly too! Highly recommend!! But if you want to dine in, it’s more of a carry-out with one (maybe two?) table for two inside.

Our first and only choice for pizza in Cville. Everything just right. Crust, sauce, cheese, ingredient selections etc. (I always double sauce, love the sauce that much. Still not at all soggy). We order par-baked and finish at home on a pizza stone. We buy the large and freeze half. Nice to be able to have ingredients on 1/2 different than other half. But other things worth mentioning.... For large groups pasta dishes are amazing. We always order baked ziti for Christmas Eve. Always a hit. From Freezer selection Bolognese lasagna is a favorite. Love the meatballs in red sauce with rigatoni we make at home! Lastly, fantastic wine selection at reasonable prices - great advice from counter help for selecting wines. I always grab a few dolmas with orders. And their grated cheese mix. All in all, a cville treasure! Oh and the tiramisu...BEST!

You have to try the sandwiches!! They are some of the best in cville no doubt. They also have a great selection of homemade pastas ready to go. If you're craving anything Italian this is the place!

I ordered ahead a lasagna from Mona Lisa and it came fresh for our party. It was a huge hit! Served at the right temp and wow the recipe was amazing. We got the vegetable option and it was like nothing I've ever had before. On the pricier end in my opinion but this was definitely worth it.

Great prepared food and ingredients for delicious Italian meals. Their limoncello marsarcapone cake is amazing. They have a great wine selection and some ready made sauces. Stop by this gem of a shop!
