Mona Lisa Deli & Restaurant

My parents tell me that when I was very small, we couldn't sit in the dining room that had the Mona Lisa portrait in it, because I would see it and cry. That is not the case anymore, thankfully, and Mona Lisa has been a constant in our family for as long as I've been alive -- longer, even.

It's the perfect pre- or post-airport restaurant for you and your traveler. The deli is the best Italian deli in town -- get your pizza dough, deli meats and cheeses, fancy olive oils, and panettones for Christmas. Order a sandwich for lunch.

I personally mourn the loss of the seafood ravioli in their frozen case, which I suspect was made from the leftover seafood from the restaurant the night before. I still look, knowing I won't find it. (Try across the street at Assentis.)

And, above all, know you have been truly blessed if you find parking in front.
