Mona Lisa Ristorante Italiano

Mona Lisa’s is an Italian Restaurant staple in Winnipeg on Corydon Ave. I’ve been here many times over the years. Food is always great. This time I went for cocktails and pizza. Bartender was very accommodating and made custom drinks to order. He was a good sport 😎 Margarita pizza was delicious. Neapolitan style. Crust was soft and chewy. Picky pizza eater here. Check it out. Patio is lovely in the summer.

Food was good but nothing out of this world. Pasta at bonfire is better and cheaper and Vera has better pizza... But the atmosphere was nice and patio was perfect for the summer day. Service was great. I am sad that I didn't go for the tiramisu for dessert.... next time I will definitely give it a try. Seafood pasta is a must try at this restaurant.

Our first time to Mona Lisa and we were not disappointed. You could taste the freshness of the handmade pasta noodles that were perfectly cooked to al dante perfection and the sauces that went with it were delicious. Calamari was cooked perfectly and a bottle of Pinot Grigio topped it all off. Our waitress was attentive and friendly yet gave us our privacy to enjoy our meal. We look forward to visiting again soon.

I have never ordered from Mona Lisa. We decided to try all the pizza’s in Winnipeg. I ordered the special pizza that’s a large from Tuesday- Thursday with two topping. That’s a great deal. We ordered plain cheese for the kids and over the phone they mentioned the daily special of fried bread and small garden or Greek salad (both half off). The pizza was really good, the best quality ingredients and hardy. We all split slices and had more then 2/3 left. We are a family of 5. The crust was not great but not bad just basic. Felt like the pizza needed more oven time? The fried bread was fun and the tomato sauce was excellent. The salad sucked but for >$3.50 I can’t complain.

My very first time there, ordered the cured meat platter. The slices of meat selection were fatty, tasty, and flavorful. The olives, green and black, were what I expected: juicy and mouth watering. The pickled eggplant had a nice texture and was savory. The 🍞 was the only part which was not up to par with the rest of the elements on the plate. It was certainly not bad but not extraordinary either. The salmon portion was HuGe ;) although it somewhat looked not fully cooked. The only bite I had from the salmon made me wonder why I didn't ordered the 🐟 salmon.
