- EEricSan Francisco Bay Area •270 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThis was my second time at Mona Lisa Mare e Monti. It was just as good as before. The ambiance is terrific, food delicious and servers friendly and engaging. A great experience all around. The only challenge is parking in the neighborhood. I'd suggest public transit or a cab to save some stress. Either way, it's totally worth it! I look forward to the next time!More infoMona Lisa Mare e MontiPrice: Moderate• Italian• North Beach•4.7
- WWendyvipSan Francisco Bay Area •77 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThe homemade pasta was perfect texture and the sauces flavorful. Even the beet/arugula salad was perfectly adorned and dressed. Plates of pasta were generous in size. Super Tuscan wine paired perfectly with the red sauce. Enjoyed our romantic evening looking out onto my favorite stretch of Grant St.More infoIdealePrice: Expensive• Italian• North Beach•4.7
- DDonald JoevipLos Angeles •39 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoFirst-time visit to China Live, and we were not disappointed! Attentive, helpful service (Raffi was super-helpful with navigating the menu), lots of choices, and quick service. We got the XLB, sea bass, and crispy noodles with chicken, and really, I can't think of a single negative thing to say about any of them. Dessert was the wonderful mandarin brownie with lychee ice cream. All in all, a wonderful meal and a great time out for my bride and I.More infoChina LivePrice: Moderate• Chinese• Chinatown•4.7
- JJoelCalifornia Central Coast •13 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWe tried this restaurant for SF restaurant week and we enjoyed it so much. The bruschetta and calamari were great to start and then we did the add in for the “live cook” inside the cheese wheel and were not disappointed at all. Tiramisu for dessert had a lot of espresso flavor and the drinks with dinner were fantastic. We will be back to eat from the standard menu for sureMore infoAcquolinaPrice: Expensive• Italian• North Beach•4.5
- SSandySan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined on Nov 14, 2024I visited this restaurant with my girlfriends, and we ate so much that I had to order an entire meal for two to take home for tomorrow night. The food was delicious, and I loved the atmosphere. It was casual, relaxed, and unpretentious. The young woman who served us tonight knew her food and her drinks so well, and the server guy was very attentive. Every dish was carefully designed and cooked with a lot of joy and attention to details. All the desserts were made in house and to their perfection. What a great modern Italian restaurant that we discovered tonight!More infoBocconcinoPrice: Moderate• Italian• North Beach•4.7
