Monalisa in Fort Myers is one of those places that I have passed by several times, even went inside when I was 16 years old because my ex step sister wanted to get a work application from there but never actually ate there.
How did I then mysteriously decided to eat at Monalisa, you may ask. It was Monday and I searched online for restaurants where kids eat free on Mondays and there they were.
My first impression of Monalisa: Traditional & Authentic Italian Restaurant.
As you know, when in Rome you must go to the Vatican ( I think that's how the saying goes ) so we went to the Vatican which in this case is order all the amazing things you can get at a Italian restaurant.
We started off with mozzarella sticks and garlic bread for appetizers and we did not regret our choices, they were so flavorful!
Now, moving on to entree, I ordered a ham, mozzarella & gorgonzola calzone. I could have done without the gorgonzola as the ham is already salty and so is the gorgonzola and the mix of the two together made it an extra salty dish. Regardless of that, it was still really good.
My husband ordered the Shrimp Alfredo and we ordered chicken filets for the children and everyone was satisfied. Unfortunately, we were very stuffed and dessert was out of the question. I would definitely make a trip back, skip on the appetizers and have a delicious and authentic Italian cheesecake.
Overall, we had a very pleasant Monday night dinner at Monalisa, the service was great and the food was delicious.

Thanks for providing this review. I too used the 67 steps to make some realizations, change some behaviors, and change my life some by changing my business practices. Buying it agin for myself and my now adult kids!. Have an awesome day! Cool site… I will come back soon.
I also got my cranberry hibiscus at Echo in Ft. Myers over 13 years ago and I love that they still pop up in my yard. I've been trying to find the exact macros this plant provides to your diet but all I ever come up with is info on either the tea or the flowers. I use the leaves in my salads daily when its growing fresh in my yard. I do prefer the smaller leaves for salad. Any additional info you may have is appreciated!
