Reviews
Went there to try it based on the reviews I was reading. The worst Italian food I've ever eaten. The Fettuccine Alfredo was cold when I got the sauce broken and pasta was luke warm at best, looked like something from the microwave. The lasagna was basically a greasy soup and the pizzas we ordered were terrible to. The pepperoni was soggy greasy mess and the crust on the BBQ chicken was raw in spots. The side salads were a let down as well with a bland dressing and big chucks of tomatoes and red beans. Would not recommend and unfortunately I will not be back.
Excellent food. Generous proportions. The ravioli was especially good. Had half and half. Lasagna was other selection. Side salad was very large with a nice variety besides lettuce. Friends each had pizza and they were very pleased with them. One had half of her pizza with clam and garlic and wouldn't choose that again. The other half was especially good.
We ordered dinner on 1/27 delivered from Grub Hub. We didn’t get our cannoli and the chicken with pesto and mushrooms had no mushrooms. Also, the sauce separated and was greasy. My eggplant parm was ok. And the salad was good. The delivery was sloppy and one of the bags leaked. I called Mona’s and the woman I spoke to said she was sorry but couldn’t do anything about it because we had ordered from a third party. I don’t think this is true. I hope they are more understanding tomorrow when I go there and speak to them directly.
This is a nice neighborhood italian restaurant. The pizza was good. The lasagna was ok. Garlic bread was great!
Your restaurant gets 10 stars for great service & great food! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had a late dinner here w/ my teens last week & the waitress there was so sweet & so attentive. Scarlett was her name! The food was great too! I had minestrone soup & cheese raviolis. My sons had the spaghetti & fettuccini Alfredo. Then we had cheesecake & a cannoli for dessert. It was all sssssoooo delicious! I ate way more than usual! And the whole time our waitress was so pleasant & so sweet. We will be back soon, Thank you!
I'm pleasantly surprised! Our waitress was exceptional! Friendly, and professional. Great food. We are definitely coming back!
What happend? The food is horrible here now. Everything, the soup, the lasagna, even the "still frozen" tiramisu. Worst Italian food I've had in the past 20 years. A few years ago this place was decent. Keep cutting corners and keep trying to save money!!
This is one of those places you will always remember. Food aas great, good value, good service, and old school atmosphere vibe. Hidden gem!
This was hands down the worst meal I've had in quite a while. The side salad was the best part and it was quite unremarkable.
I ordered the veal parmesan, Which came with a side salad, A small side of spaghetti, Some steamed vegetables, And a side of garlic bread. I can't speak about the garlic bread. Because I don't eat bread like that. The spaghetti was dry and had barely any sauce on it. The steamed vegetables had a weird After taste. Which I didn't like but other than that they were just steamed vegetables.
The veal was lightly undercooked, but I don't have a problem with that as much as I do with the veal itself. The veal itself was disgusting. It was very thinly sliced meat that is then either compressed back together or "glued" back together. It was very evident when looking closely that the veal was made up of very thin slices of meat.
The antipasto salad looked good, it was as you would expect covered in deli meats and cheeses, as well as some pickled veggies like cauliflower and carrots. (Which I normally love) the pickled veggies tasted like someone added fish juices to the pickling jar. I'm not a fan of fish so this was very off-putting to me. But the deli meat and cheeses were rotten. Not sure if it was the meat or the cheese or both but at least one of them was rotten.
I ordered carryout and I should have honestly left as soon as I walked in because the place smelled like dirty socks to me.
Needless to say, I will not be returning and I'm not looking for a free meal there either. True story.
