Mona Lisa Mare E Monti
About us
Since 1979, Mona Lisa Restaurant & Bar has been a lively North Beach landmark where family, food, and fun come together. What began as a cozy neighborhood spot has grown into an elevated Italian-American dining experience that still holds onto its playful, iconic charm.
Run by two generations of the Florese Family, Mona Lisa stays true to its Calabrese roots with homemade pasta, cherished family recipes, and soulful cooking. Today, tradition meets a modern touch through seasonal ingredients, premium meats, and thoughtfully sourced seafood.
Beyond Mona Lisa, the Florese Family has helped shape North Beach dining-preserving historic institutions like The Old Clam House and opening local favorites such as Steps of Rome Trattoria. No matter the project, their values remain the same: family first, warm hospitality, and honest Italian cooking.
Proudly part of the neighborhood for decades, Mona Lisa invites you to enjoy a meal that feels rooted in tradition yet always looking forward.
