About Us
Mona Lisa Restaurant was established in 1989 at 43 South Main Street (Rt. 25) in Newtown, Connecticut. It served its first meal on February 7, 1990 without the help of any publicity or advertising.
The quality of the food and the service of its employees spread fast throughout the community by word of mouth. Business grew, and within one year, the restaurant had to double its size to accommodate the growing number of guests. A Greenroom was added to the front of the building which brought the restaurant's capacity from 52 to 90.
