I am sorry to say that we found this place just as booring as the waiter looked - boored - with no great interest in his guests. The meny had lots of choices. I had pasta dish, my housband pizza, and the food was ok, but nothing special. Free WiFi for guests is a plus! More

We had a delicious meal at Mona Lisa last week. It is a great restaurant with real genuine italian food. The pizzas are delicious and the pasta is amazing. Antonio is a great host and the rest of the staff is super friendly! More

We have been going to Mona Lisa since it opened and can honestly say that these are the best pizzas we have ever had. We think Antonio is fantastic - he has often let my daughter go up and help him actually make the pizza dough. One time she came back with her own hamster made out of dough which... More

We go to the Mona Lisa for more than 5 years now, every time we stay in Carvoeiro, and were never disappointed. The pizzas are still the best. The waiter has changed but quality has remained. The card never changes and choice is limited, but the great value for money and excellent quality stil make this restaurant a real gem.... More

A slightly disappointing Italian restaurant. The pizza was burnt at the edges and the lasagne was very salty. A vegetarian pizza overpriced at €10. Positive point was that a bottle of prosecco only cost €12. Popular with families. More

Stay in Carvoeiro and always visit Mona Lisa at least a couple of times for its high quality, very tasty and reasonably priced food. Service is always good too. Went last week and missed Matt - don't know if he was just on holiday or has left. The 'new' Portugese waiter was a charming replacement. Great family restaurant. More

We ate at the restaurant twice during our holiday in Carveiro. There is no doubt that the dough for the pizza is as good as we have eaten with the garlic bread with tomatoes being sensational. The meal was not only exceptionally tasy but also very good value. The service was extremely efficient despite the place being busy. We have... More

All is great and perfect! Mat and Antonio (and now a new girl and a new guy) are the perfect hosts! Great with kids and all... Best bruschetta and gnocci in the world. I've been coming back ever since discovering it, and I intend to keep on coming. The best I can say is that everyone is @ home in... More

Visited following previous great reviews, food is barely average, base of pizza ok but toppings lacked in quality and taste, friendly service from owners daughter. We got what we paid for (pizzas and beers) . In and out within 3/4 hour and felt we wasted a night.Surprised at so many great reviews More
