   Seems like the restaurant suffers from an identity crisis. Does it want to be a restaurant or a lounge bar? The variety of cuisine is confusing ( some Italian, sushi, and some Dominican). I can say that if u are going to be on Federal Hill the Italian food should be good and it was not.

   This was our first time dining at Mona Lisa, and def will return. It has a hip vibe upon entry, with some pulsing beats in the background. Our party of 6 includes hard of hearing friends, so this was a little bit of a challenge, but there was good energy in the dining room. Service was very attentive and the menu is eclectic. It is mostly Italian, with additional flair from Puerto Rico and Sushi. I am keto and a friend has a gluten allergy — not a problem. The kitchen accommodated us beautifully. My salmon with secret sauce was delish. The portions are very generous (you might have lunch for tomorrow). There were at least two birthday celebrations that night. Fun place to celebrate. Thanks for a great dinner!

   Good service and food, but Sat. night 7pm and only one other couple in whole restaurant; no other reservations available on federal hill. Menu has nice options and different from the usual menus, but not enough gluten free options. I had GF chicken marsala which was very good made fresh. There are many gluten free websites and search options if they had gluten free items listed on the menu and would get free advertising at all the GF websites.

   The food and the service were both outstanding!! It was a busy Saturday night, so the food took a bit longer but that is to be expected! The servers and staff went out of their way to keep us updated. Would absolutely go back and recommend!

   Food was terrific, and ample portions as well. Atmosphere is a little odd. Hot pink lighting in the dining room and electronic music with a disco beat playing a little too loudly in the background. Service was good and the food was great.

   They easily accommodated our large party and turned on the games that we were interested in watching. The service was a little slow but they gave us a round of shots and desserts on the house as a thank you for our patience. The food was really good, everyone loved it and had a good time.

   First time here I met the owner “Rob” and his wife. Rob and the staff were outstanding. In total people must’ve had about 10 visits to our table. Talk about great service! The food was unbelievable, the best I’ve had anywhere. If you don’t go here now with everybody you know you’re missing out! Can’t wait to go back!

   Took my wife here for a birthday dinner with 10 other guests and were extremely pleased with the overall experience. Everyone enjoyed their food and the service was great and even received a complimentary birthday cake. Would definitely come back
