Mona Lisa Ristorante Italiano - Winnipeg, Manitoba

Wow I have never been so disappointed. Ordered gluten free pasta with meat sauce and received a pomodoro sauce with literally braised chopped beef. Like Sunday roast cut in cubes with tomato sauce. It was inedible. Still thinking about it makes me cringe. I took one bite and tossed it ... into the trash. I wouldn’t feed my dog it. The quality used to be here but seems to have gone. But this was the worst ever. Not a meat sauce when you think of Italian. Never make that mistake. And the price of that only to be thrown out is shameful. Read more

Mona Lisa Restaurant consistently offers delicious food which is why it is on my list of favourite places to dine! We always start with an order (or two) of the Pane Fritto. On this particular visit, these fluffy dough pillows were well seasoned but not so fluffy. They ... were a bit tough, and a little dried out. They were still very tasty even though the texture wasn’t the best. Caesar salad was very good. For our main dishes we ordered Chicken Parmigiana, Lasagna, and Spinach Cannelloni, and all 3 were delicious! Portion sizes were very satisfying and therefore no room for dessert! Highly recommend making a reservation, especially now that they have downsized. Read more

Always enjoy coming here for dinner. The service is great, the food is fresh, and the signature cocktails change often!

Amazing food and service. Appetizers, salads, entree all perfect. Server made us feel like we were part of the family. Excellent dining experience!

I’m happy to have dined at an Italian restaurant which has certificate of authenticity by government of Italy 🇮🇹! I ordered Gnocchi Al Tartufo but Gnocchi ran out so I got it substituted with Capellini. Then had a tiramisu. Finally tried a cappuccino with amaretto and topped it all off ... with a pistachio gelato. Cappuccino, gelato, wines were awesome, service was wonderful, ambience was spectacular (I sat outside, Al-fresco)!!! However the pasta dish and tiramisu were just okay, because the taste was bland! They mention the use of truffle oil but I could not smell it or taste it in the dish…moreover the tiramisu was dry and had a very subtle hint of espresso; so these dishes should have been flavourful for the appreciation!
