Recently, I had my older sister and her fiancee over for the weekend. I got so tired of cooking that I just wanted to order take out. My sister, not quite familiar with the area of bayonne, asked me for a recommendation for a place to order.  Quickly, I grabbed a menu from the refrigerator and told her to try Mona Lisa in Bayonne. I recommended a dish and soup for her. She was surprised as to how hot the food arrived and how tasteful it was. I am looking forward to have them come over soon and to order from Mona Lisa Restaurant again to make a lasting impression. 

1. Service  - Online ordering available at www.bayonnemonalisa.com. 10% discount always available if ordered online. Fast delivery. Food is always hot. I have ordered catering in the past for some parties. Very polite in the phone and will give recommendations if unsure of what to get.
2. Food -  - Sorrentino and penne pasta//Tortellini in Brodo soup. (These are my favorite dishes in the entire menu). Upon delivery, these dishes are always hot. Bread is warm and soft. Quantity of the pasta dish is large enough to serve two. So, if you are seeking a romantic time at home with your special someone, one pasta dish to order will fill you both. I totally recommend the sorrentino. The prosciutto, although has a reputation for being a salty component, is a perfect combo with the juiciness of the chicken. It is not overwhelming with saltiness. The Tortellini in Brodo, i also recommend. It is a perfect soup to pick if you are the type that can't quite make up your mind on what to order. Great starter soup to get your taste buds going. The broth in the soup is chicken flavor, not salty at all.. smooth going down your stomach. Two thumbs up if you are sick. This will definitely make you feel like mom just sent you soup. 
3. Recommendations - YES!! YES!! AND YES!!. This is the kind of restaurant you want to rely on when trying to impress visitors, whether it's catering or regular delivery for those lazy nights. You will never be disappointed with each order. Take advantage of the online discount as well.

I will be posting more blogs on restaurants as I get to them each week. If anyone has a restaurant in mind that they would like me to try and rate please let me know!! Don't be shy! I am willing to try places in the NJ and NY. If it is out of this area, I will try my best to get there and try it.
