Nutella Cake & Cappucino
Mindy L.

My review is only for the dessert cafe (not for the restaurant). JT and I stumbled upon Monnalisa while looking for a dessert and nightcap. Monnalisa's was able to deliver on both. We were like Hansel and Gretyl stumbling upon the gingerbread cottage in the middle of a forest...mouths watering, faces pressed up against the glass... Thankfully, a lovely waitress was able to tell us what all the little bits of decadence were and offered us a small table. Of note, it's 6 euros per dessert cake if you eat in...4 euros if you take away. We wanted to have a drink as well, so opted to take the 2 euro surcharge. I went with the Nutella cake and JT opted for the lemon tiramisu. Let me tell you. That Nutella cake was so rich...so decadent...so CHOCOLATE-Y...I couldn't eat the whole thing. And it wasn't that big. That's unheard of for me. And the lemon tiramisu? Gone. Polished off. Done for. Down the gullet. Incredibly delicious. Definitely stop in for their desserts...so glad we did.

Came here for dessert, canoli, gelato and cappucino. Service is friendly! Outdoor seating a plus!

I should have known better, I'm disappointed in myself for being a sucker and grabbing a seat facing a tourist spot in such a popular area. Obviously the food was crap. Like, crappity crap crap. Like, I think I've eaten wrapping accidentally that tasted better. The only reason I'm giving them two stars is that they weren't outright hostile to us and didn't add any weird charges like "sitting at a clean table" or "not being spat on", but what does that say about my expectations?

Delicious gelato! The only flavors I got here was the pistachio and the hazelnut. Two scoops on a cone for only €3.5. The scoops are big as well, so you definitely get your money's worth. I went to this place on my last two days in Sorrento. The server always made the gelato into a face of a puppy. I highly recommend this place and the two flavors I got.

My friend and I went here for gelato. There is not a wide selection of flavors to choose from; after all, it is a restaurant and not strictly a gelateria. I was going to get the gelato that was sandwiched in a brioche, but was told that it was unavailable, so instead I got a small cone of chocolate gelato for 2.50€. I would have gotten two flavors instead of one but that would have cost 3.50€, which is definitely pricier than the other gelato places in Sorrento to which I have been. My gelato was pretty good, but my friend said that her pistachio flavor was way too sweet and that the vanilla could have been a lot better, as it apparently did not have much flavor at all to it. The portions were decent; my chocolate gelato was actually packed into the cone a fair amount, which I appreciate. Still, there are better places to get gelato in Sorrento.

Pistachio gelato. Delicious and great presentation!

The food was very good, but Mimi the waiter provided the entertainment that kept everyone laughing and talking.
