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.

Mona Lisa continued to provide excellent food and service to its guests and business remained strong.  Although they remained successful, the restaurant still struggled to accommodate all of its guests.

In December of 2002, Mona Lisa relocated its restaurant to a larger building located at 160 South Main Street (Rt. 25) in Newtown, Connecticut.  Mona Lisa is now in the 200 year old historic Colonial that once housed the famous Newtown Inn.  Mona Lisa currently accommodates 140 guests along with a martini bar and cocktail lounge that can seat 20 additional guests.  There is also a spectacular outdoor patio that can accommodate 50 guests during the warm weather months.
