    Heard about this restaurant from a friend and wanted it give it a try. My wife and I were going to Jones Beach for a concert and though this would be a good place to have dinner before the show. We arrived at 4:30 for an early dinner, there were tables outside under a red canopy, seemed very quaint and inviting but we choose to have dinner inside. When we first walked in we were by a pizza counter, then immediately to the right was the dinning room. This was also very quaint and inviting. The walls were painted red on the top half and white on the bottom with appropriate pictures on the walls to give a warm dining room feel to it. We were greeted and seated immediately by Anna our waitress. We were given menus and she told us the specials of the day. We both ordered the Broccoli Rabe Rigatoni with Sausage in a light garlic sauce and while we waited for our dinners we snacked on the fresh hot bread with olive oil. Once dinner arrived the portions were huge (Please see pic) with plenty of sausage to be had and it was awesome. We did not finish because we wanted to try their Tartufo for desert. Also Awesome and big enough for two. I can see this being a great place to relax and enjoy a bite to eat or dinner in a small town down by the beach. When we were leaving it started getting very crowded, looks like the word is out. My wife and I had a very nice dinner and desert, Anna out waitress was attentive, efficient and friendly. Can't wait to return and try some other dishes and the pizza!

    Solid spot to get a slice and the normal food is very good too. I have been a few times and they have all been very good. I like getting the pies fresh over the reheated slices but nonetheless its a great spot if you are in PLO

    4.5 stars Mona Lisa…read morePizzeria Ristorante catered my friend's birthday party, and I was so impressed with their preparation and presentation of their food! In fact, I could not stop refilling my plate, and I was not alone in that struggle; everyone was raving about the dishes. First, there were rolls that were essentially garlic knots without the oil or garlic. However, they were fine as they were, given that they had a golden brown, lightly crispy crust and a soft, doughy interior. There was also a massive round platter of their mixed salad, which included a base of spring greens topped with cucumbers, tomatoes, black and green olives, pickled carrots, and roasted peppers. I love all of those ingredients, and I prefer heavy toppings on my salads, so I was thrilled. However, on top of all of those vegetables was a mountain of raw red onion slices, which I had to delicately avoid. The last thing anyone would want at a party was strong onion breath, and I am not a fan of onions in even the most private of circumstances. Regardless, it was a creative salad that was much more interesting than others you would typically find at a casual pizzeria. In terms of the main courses, there was a large tray of each of three diverse items. The Penne alla Vodka contained pasta that was cooked to the perfect balance of firmness and softness, while the sauce was deliciously creamy and tangy without being over-the-top rich. The Chicken alla Marsala did not come with many mushrooms, but the poultry had been pounded thin, lightly breaded, and served in a robust wine sauce. The chicken was tender, moist, and tasty. Lastly, the Eggplant Parmigiana was incredible! The eggplant was sliced very thin, which was great because it minimized the eggplant chew factor that can sometimes causes issues for the diner when the slices are too thick or have gooey skin. However, this also meant that the breading was prominent in each bite. That concept might annoy diehard eggplant fans, but because the marinara sauce was sweet and well-seasoned and the cheese was flavorful, I loved how it all came together. When I was preparing to write this review, I looked at Mona Lisa's website and saw how vast their menu was, including a slew of interesting pizzas and pastas. So, I will definitely need to visit in-person to try some of their other delectable items.

We did the $1 extra charge for all the rolls, large salad, potatoes, vegetables and cookie platter. It's amazing that you get all of that just for a dollar extra. I think this is for tray orders only. Also I have gotten pizza there before, the plain pizza is excellent. The rainbow cake is nice too. We tried the buffalo chicken pizza once but it was chewy. And one time I got chicken parm and the chicken was burnt. Usually this place is very good. Highly recommend for affordable and tasty Italian food!
