I was looking for ice cream in the area and this place popped up. Ive already been here 4-5 times. I really like the European Tart Yogurt flavor. Ive had a few flavors and they were all very delicious. My boyfriend and his son both had some and this was the first time having gelato and they both loved it. read more

This place heavily advertises the difference between regular ice cream and gelato, but I just couldn't find anything that tasted as good as advertised. The cherry flavor trumpeted by the customer before me seemed trite and uninteresting when I sampled it, and instead going for blackberry and mint chip left me with an okay berry flavor but an icy texture lacking the smoothness of gelato. The mint chip was a bit smoother, but had a very artificial flavor with an iffy aftertaste. And put together, the two scoops cost what I would have paid for really top gelato. Maybe I'm missing something and there are other things here that are better, but it was really quite disappointing. I've had great gelato in primo locations, and I've had great gelato in rural Virginia (Staunton, specifically), but not here. read more

I ordered the white bean burger, which came with any drink from the fridge, as well as the strawberry and mint gelato on a sugar cone. The burger was wide and looked good but the patty wasn't up to par. The patty was more grainy than beany and because it was so grainy, the texture and taste suffered. It reminds me of a famous frozen veggie burger but I don't remember the brand. Their choice of topping flavor for the burger was also lacking; it was a cole slaw theme. My friend loved it though. I also sampled majority of the gelato flavors and the only flavor that stood out to me the most was the grapefruit. Overall, the gelato were good but the sweetness eventually kicked in so that was displeasing. The staff was not rude about the amount I wanted to sample so try on! read more

What kind of sandwich place runs out of bread? Especially when Walmart is right up the street and Food Lion right down the road. You go get enough stock even just to tie you over til delivery.

I've eaten here several times and the food is always good. Some of it is even great. The Cuban and banh mi stand out. Soups vary from good to great as well. The German farmhouse was really good. Soups change pretty often, so you can always find something to try. Service has been fine and friendly. So why only two stars you ask? They are posting on Facebook for buy one meal deal and get the second half off. The stared purpose is to build their evening meal business. My wife does not get a chance to go here for lunch, so I thought I could let her try it with me. They also have been running a gelatto buy one get one for several months. We ordered two meal deals and two gelatto and got charged full price. When asked, we were told since we didn't say we wanted the special pricing when we ordered, the special did not apply. I've never heard anything like that in my life. Nothing on their Facebook post indicates you must ask for anything. After much complaining, they gave us money back for one gelatto but we're still out $6 for the entree. I know the owner was not there. Maybe there was miscommunication between him and the evening workers. I really don't want this to be the last time I go there. read more

We took our kids here during COVID shut down because it was the only small business ice cream place open. Wanting to support local business we decided to give it another try. We had been here in the past and the server wasn't wearing gloves, didn't wash his hands and they were filthy and touched our ice cream with his hands. This time it was more of the same. He wore gloves when taking my card, but not while handling our food. He saw me waiting with my four kids but took other customers before us and brought out only one ice cream and then the other tens minutes later. So one kid had ice cream while they others had to wait. Another man working there wasn't helping but talked to another customer the whole time we were there. It was very frustrating. The food was very expensive as well. We paid $14 for a Cuban sandwich. That's more than what I'd pay at a full service restaurant. We won't be going back. read more

On our first trip here, Wifey and I rolled up on the bike about 5 minutes AFTER closing time in the summer. The owner didn't bat an eye, scooped us some amazing gelato and coffee, told us about how much he loves it here, bragged about his wife's impressive culinary training and experiences, and how they are committed to making "the healthiest food in the Tri Cities" by using non-gmo food, eventually milling their own grains and flours, the whole anti-frankenfood hippie deal. Which is fine, as long as it tastes good. And it does. The only knock I have is that I called last week to ask about the specials and any low-carb options that day and was advised to try the bean soup or chili or something with loads of beans. That means super high-carbs. Hell I know that there are so many fad diets going on right now that you can't keep up with all of them, but just tell me you don't know or something. It's not really even a complaint, but we did opt for another lunch place that day. Mona Lisa's lunch specials are always interesting and tempting. It's a little bistroteque owned and operated by passionate foodies that believe in what they are doing. If I were a betting man, I'd say this place is going to make it and make it big here. Turns out that I am a betting man, anyone want to wager? The gelato is killer and worth the trip just for a scoop of sweet dessert goodness. read more

History

Established in 2010.

Mona Lisa's Gelato and Cafe serves the healthiest food you can eat when you are away from home. We have a great selection of homemade soups, Thai Noodle Bowls, Grilled Panini Sandwiches on homemade Focaccia bread, Organic Salads, Delicious Gelato Ice Cream plus Daily Specials from Chef Sheridan Nice. Gelato originated in Italy and is the world's most delicious ice cream. The word Gelato means "frozen" in Italian and is their word for ice cream. Traditional ice cream is composed of 50% air and has an average of 15% butterfat. Gelato has only 25% air and an average of 7% butterfat. This results in a much denser and creamy product that has very little heaviness in the finish and leaves virtually no residue on the back of the palate. Your taste buds don't have to work through so much fat to get to the flavors! Regular ice cream is served at zero degrees Fahrenheit where gelato is served at around 10 degrees. This also contributes to the soft heavenly texture that defines gelato.

Meet the Business Owner: Sheridan N.

Sheridan Nice is classically trained and a graduate of École de Cuisine La Varenne, which was founded in Paris in 1975 by British-American food writer and cooking teacher Anne Willan. It is named in honor of François Pierre de la Varenne, the 17th century Burgundian author of Le Cuisinier françois (1651), one of the founding texts of modern French Cuisine. La Varenne was one of the first professional cooking schools in France to offer simultaneous instruction in French & English and accredited professional culinary degrees. The school attracted a global student body, including a large number of Americans, many of whom have become well known in their respective spheres of the contemporary food world. La Varenne alumni include professional chefs, restaurateurs, caterers, food writers and cookbook authors.

Not having any knowledge of Alley Kat's history as a food truck, I had only my recent experience in…read morePiney Flats to review. Apparently, they recently decided to open a store front here. Therefore, it was my decision to give them a try for lunch today. With it being new, the interior was sparse but very clean. You order at the counter and then wait on your food to be made. I chose to do take out. After perusing the menu on the wall, I chose a 6" Philly and waffle fries. This came to a total of $15.00 and change! The full size Philly was $15.00 alone. I then waited almost 20 minutes to get my order. Now, understand that they were not overly busy. In fact, when I arrived there were only a few people awaiting food. Everyone else was already served. (2 tables). They only have 6 tables. I finally got my order and left for home. Much to my dismay, the meal was not what I expected for the loooong wait and high price. My half Philly was about 4 inches long and I had barely a handful of fries. I don't understand how they could have been such a hit with their food truck with such paltry portions and long wait times. Guess the students of ETSU are too busy playing on their phones to realize how long they've been waiting. I know I won't return

Mid City Grill was one of the big places for me and my wife to check out while we were in Johnson…read moreCity . We didn't know that there was another one in Kingsport but the one in Johnson City was the one we needed to go to regardless. Staff here was absolutely friendly and was knowledgeable about their food items. The vegan section is absolutely comprehensive and the portion size and as well as the prices are absolutely incredible with fair prices and big portions. This place stays open pretty late as well. Done again was a blast though the interior needs to be remodeled in some way or shape. Restrooms weren't too bad at all either. Be careful of one of the steps because it's a steep step where you might fall. Overall, I was very satisfied with a visit here and I left absolutely full. This place also has great kids deals too.

The place was clean (think Waffle House clean) and the servers were friendly and hustling to make it happen. Opted for the Classic Burger and Johnson City Pork Dip with cheese fries. All of it was good but the burger in particular was great. Worth a stop if you're downtown and jonesing for a burger and some local charm.

It's fairly easy to find, but you need to be looking for the small Conestoga wagon by the road for…read morea better visual than the sign. Parking is in a paved lot right in front of the building but there is more in the adjacent lot. The only problem is if you pull into the front lot but don't have a parking space you can't get to the adjacent lot without going back out onto the divided highway. The legal way to do this is turn left at the divider opening and go back towards Jonesboro about a block, then turn around at the next divider opening and turn into the adjacent lot. There could be an opening to the adjacent lot from the front lot but it is blocked off with a railroad tie. There is a handicapped space right in front of door. The parking spaces are not marked so you need to be considerate. This trip was for breakfast on a weekend, and the restaurant was about half full when we arrived. We were greeted as we walked in and told to sit anywhere. Seating is to the left and is all tables with few seats at a counter to the right as you walk in. Our server came by right away with the menu and took our drink orders. She brought the drinks quickly, but we needed a little more time to decide as the menu is decently large and diverse. She returned in an appropriate amount of time, the sign of a good server. Our food arrived about 10 minutes after ordering. The Magnificent Seven had two eggs (cooked slightly less than ordered, but not an issue), hash browns, two sausage patties, two small pancakes, and a biscuit. The biscuit was dry but would be fine with gravy. Everything else was quite good. Of note is the little jelly packets included seedless blackberry jelly and apple butter, a very nice change from the typical grape and strawberry offering at most restaurants. My dining partner selected the meat omelet, which also included toast. The omelet was large and completely filled with meat. It was a very good selection and very filling. There is background music playing which is noticeable but not loud. Conversation was very easy. The restaurant was mostly full by the time we left, but the servers still seemed to be keeping up, as was the kitchen. Overall, this was a good breakfast for a fair price, and we definitely plan to return.

Meat omelet. The hash browns are not included so would be an extra cost side.

On our most recent trip, we sat outside and had excellent service. The food came out quickly, which was a nice surprise, and everything was on point.

The place has a very cool, eclectic vibe with a unique atmosphere, plus a solid beer selection to round it out. Great spot overall--highly recommend.
