 Their
Own Corner
While
Mona Lisa’s has been in town for many, many years they
now have a building to permanently call home - where Colton
Ave. meets with Redlands Blvd. And I’m sure that they
will be there for some time to come.
While
their location looks like a fast food place, they way they
cook and act is anything but a fast food place. Their employees
and Ed recognize regulars like you would expect in a hometown
restaurant. And the big plus is the value for their meals.
The
food at Mona Lisa’s is straightforward wholesome Italian
cuisine. When dining in, they will bring your food to the
table in the take-out containers (minus lids). Don’t
be dismayed; the food is tasty and plentiful. They have
a limited menu but it covers all the basics. The pastas:
spaghetti, mostaccioli, ravioli, tortellini, eggplant Parmesan,
lasagna and manicotti costs from $3.95 to $5.25. They also
serve a variety of Italian sandwiches and sub-sandwiches
all of which costs $3.95. The usual hot sandwiches are also
$3.95. Their salads cost either $3.75 or $4.25.
But
the best deals are their Specials. As a friend told me,
"Where can you feed a family of 4 and have leftovers
for $12.95?" They have 2 Family Meals: Spaghetti and
Mostaccioli. These come with the basic pasta, your choice
of marinara or meat sauce, 10 pieces of garlic bread and
Parmesan cheese, all for $12.95. You can order this through
their drive-through window and be home in moments. They
have a Daily Special for $3.95, which varies by day, and
comprises of Sausage & Peppers over Spaghetti, Spaghetti
Putanesca, Mostacolli Caponata, Rigatoni with House Sauce
or Fettuccini Alfredo. All of these include garlic bread.
