The first Mona Lisa Restaurant was established in 1956 in downtown San Diego by Grandfather Stefano Brunetto. Our Little Italy restaurant and deli opened in 1973. In the early years, it also operated as a wholesale import business, supplying Italian provisions to the local tuna fleet and other San Diego restaurants. Since then, Mona Lisa has become an institution for Italian food and culture in the Little Italy area. We are now in our third generation of family management and look forward to continuing the Mona Lisa legacy. Whether you are walking through our authentic Italian deli or dining in our family Italian restaurant, we welcome you to our family’s tradition.
Lasagna, pizza & old-world Italian cooking in an old-school setting, plus a gourmet deli & market.

In this very dark and old looking restaurant, you will find an amazing selection of delicious pastas and Italian sandwiches. The food is authentic, rustic and tasty. No nonsense garnish, or fusion style dishes.

One of the best Italian sandwiches I have ever had, just had a great time walking around the store and enjoying the prosciutto, mortadella and the various types of salami. The sandwiches are huge and are reasonably priced for the city, we went back several times because the sandwiches were so packed!

Must go for a delicious Italian sandwich. Portions are huge and very generous with ingredients. We got the bresaola on focaccia that was great! (Expert tip: add chipotle mayo instead of mustard). Wide variety of breads and cold meats and the grocery store has a very wide variety of Italian goods.

Food was really good but a bit pricey than we expected. Portions were huge though. Nice vibe though. Loved the place and the history associated with it. Authentic italian cuisine

I absolutely love this place, every time we visit San Diego, we make sure to stop by. The meatballs and garlic bread are always on point. the lasagna which was okay this time. The piccata was a nice surprise! Great food, good service, and a chill vibe. Plus, right next door is their fresh market where you can grab some awesome sandwiches. Definitely recommend!

The food was absolutely delicious! The garlic bread was crunchy, and the pasta was one of the best I’ve ever had! However the service needs some desperate improvement. We went on a Friday night around 6:30 and we were just standing by the door for so long until someone finally came to get us a table. After we ordered our food, it took over 20 minutes just to get our salad. I would come back for the food but the service was very slow.

Mona Lisa Italian Foods is an outstanding spot for authentic Italian sandwiches in Little Italy. Everything is exceptionally fresh, from the bread to the ingredients, and the flavors are perfectly balanced. It’s a truly authentic experience, the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve discovered a local gem in Italy itself. The staff is friendly, and the lively atmosphere makes it a fun and memorable stop for lunch. Also a great grocery store with tons of stuff from Italy. Highly recommended.

Everything about this place is a home run! The distinct italian theme and delicious food really sell the Mona Lisa experience. There menu is pretty expansive and not too pricey. The sandwiches we ordered were a good size and quite filling. You order at the counter and pick where you want to sit, service was fairly quick. We will have to come back and try some different items!

Picked up a meatball sandwich at the restaurant for lunch and probably had a total of 3-31/2 meatballs sliced up into 1/4-1/2 inch slices. Good flavor but 14$ for a few meatballs on a long sandwich is skimpy and disappointing. Won’t return for that! And then restaurant owners wonder why their numbers are down.
FYI This is an Italian American style Italian. Not what you’d find in Italy today.
