Mona Lisa Italian Foods

"Family-owned and operated by the third generation, Mona Lisa has been on the block since 1973, operating a traditional Italian-American restaurant and deli model. The restaurant serves serviceable comfort food but the deli is the true superstar, offering excellent Italian subs as well as essentials like Italian sausage and fresh mozzarella." - Helen I. Hwang

"Skip the adjacent restaurant but don't miss the deli for Italian groceries and delicious sub sandwiches. The Caprese dresses mozzarella, tomato and basil with olive oil and balsamic; add some slices of spicy soppressata for an extra kick." - Candice Woo

"With over 50 years in operation, the deli counterpart of this Little Italy staple is the superstar, selling fresh Italian sausage, mozzarella, dough, pasta, and sauces for at-home pizza or pasta nights and putting together excellent sandwiches on sesame-studded torpedo rolls like the Spicy special with spicy sopressata, pepperoni, and capicola. Tack on a side of artichokes, octopus salad, and olives for a stellar picnic." - Candice Woo

"Lasagna lovers however may head to Mona Lisa Italian Foods, a family-owned deli/restaurant, which also boasts everything from manicotti to Marsala." - MICHELIN Inspectors
