Mona Lisa is divided into two sections, a low key lounge and a bright modern dining room. We came on a quiet weekday evening, and was warmly welcomed with prompt and attentive service. Mona Lisa serves in house made pasta and sauces. You can immediately taste the freshness and the nuances that come from it being house made. Whether that is for everyone is to each their own but I find it very good value for what you are getting.
If you are looking for a modern Italian restaurant that also happens to serve some classics done very well, Mona Lisa’s doesn’t disappoint.
Mona Lisa has such authentic Italian food! Never once was I disappointed with my order. At the most recent visit, I had the pane fritto (fried fluffy pillow-like dough with tomato sauce), Italian salad, fettuccine alfredo and pollo parmiggiano. The meal was delicious!!! If you are looking for a great authentic Italian restaurant for special occasions, this is the place!!

The food at Mona Lisa is tasty but I found the price for main meal portion sizes is too much and that's why my rating is lower. We ordered two appetizers. The beer battered mushrooms which are good and price is good. The bread with roasted garlic and olive oil. Basically get a whole loaf of bread for 8$ which is a great price. I ordered pasta with tomato sauce and added meatballs. I got 4 meatballs for 7$. However my pasta without the meatballs was 19$. 19$ for pasta and tomato sauce. I ate it all and was still hungry. They do half portions, and I honestly thought I received a half portion in error but the bill said 19$. It tasted super good but so expensive for what you get. My partner got pasta with housemade sausage and liked it. I think it was about 26$ and again I felt the pasta portion was small. I took a gluten free cake to go for 9$ and it was a good size and very yummy. So, basically the food tastes good. The service is impeccable. But I don't know if I would go back knowing how much they charge for main meals but feel hungry after.
Ordered the Mona Lisa special pizza when I went here for lunch. It was delicious! Caesar was okay, not the best in the city. Decor is a little odd, not sure where to enter sometimes.
Great authentic food, good atmosphere and I had perfect service from my server. We went on "Wine Wednesday" and got very good wine at a reasonable price. I love the vibe in this place and will be back.
Nice update! Modern interior, sleek, I like a more authentic Italian feel myself but this was kinda cool. Seating was tight. I felt like I was at McDonald's. Service was very good. Bar was a little slow. Sat 6:30-9:00. Food was very good, but pricy. Really tried to stretch this into a 4.0, but will go back.
I have been hearing about this place for years and finally just checked it out. I came here on a first date, and the atmosphere was very cozy for a date setting. Our server was absolutely fantastic! It is very had to find good service in this city so I was thoroughly impressed. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with asparagus and my date ordered the meat pizza. I thought my pasta dish was really good and he raved about his pizza. Very good experience and I will be coming here again for sure, just not with him...
Food is pretty good, but I stay away from the pizzas, I'm really not a big fan. The rest of the food is quite good though. The patio is nice in the summertime right on Corydon.
Been my favorite restaurant since I was a weeeee child! Awesome service! Amazing food! Will always be on top of my list when choosing a restaurant
The Swizzle Styx dined here today and it was excellent. Service was top notch with perfect timing, great menu knowledge, friendly and efficient. Atmosphere is really good here too, not too quiet, not too loud. The food was delicious, well presented and prompt. Only complaint is that they were out of veal scallopini...not a good thing when only four proteins are offered and you're out of one. But other than that small glitch it was a wonderful lunch. One in my group had the soup of the day and stated it was the best soup he has ever had. We had starter salads, Caesar and Italian and both were good. Two had salmon (wonderful!), three had pizza and one had mussels and all were pleased. We do come here fairly regularly and have always been happy, we will be back!
August 2018 - The Swizzle Styx were back here this week. Must say, service was very slow but food was still great.
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.
Cocktails were spectacular! Good service and food was 7/10. Make sure to get a reservation early.
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.
So Glad Joe is back. Been wanting to drop in since I saw the lights on. The panino was so good. Simple; Italian. The bread was better than the wine and the wine was spectacular. Hope the staff can smile at us soon. It's simply time the masks came off.

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.
Very good atmosphere. Clean and professional with a lot of elegance. The food was very delicious and they were very polite even though we came pretty late in the evening. Would love to visit again!
