Mona Lisa Salumeria — Restaurant in Town of Eastchester

I went by Mona Lisa yesterday in my attempt to find a new place for chicken cutlets. Wow! Was I blown away on all fronts. First off, it was easy to find and there was available parking in the back. I felt comfortable walking through the short alley to get back to the main road/store front. I was immediately welcomed upon entering by three gentlemen, one of whom I believe to be the new manager/owner. All three were delightful and engaging as we talked about their amazing cutlets and as I kept adding more and more items to my order. :) Everything looked amazing - I couldn’t help myself. I ordered three sandwiches, a few lbs of chicken cutlets, eggplant parm, arancini and more. Everything was outstanding! I decided to bring 1/2 dz cutlets for my MIL to try, who I think holds the highest honor for best chix cutlets herself, and even she was thoroughly impressed! We talked about how fresh, how thin, and how perfectly seasoned the cutlets were. She even said, “You found a hidden gem!” These sentiments coming from the best Italian momma I know. Looking forward to my next visit to Mona...

Best deli sandwiches I've tried so far outside of NYC. That being said, there was a bit of a delay with my pickup since I used their actual website and not one of the delivery apps. Sounded like they had forgotten to check it, I imagine the apps get way more traffic. A bit annoying but they quickly made it on the spot and apologized.

Anyways, we ordered a pastrami and Italian sandwich. The pastrami sandwich was 4.5/5, a good amount of meat, nice crispy edges, but maybe a hair too salty on some bites. Paired it with some home made spicy mayo and it brought it to 5/5. Definitely getting this again.

The Italian was solid and provided loads of meat. We enjoyed it but personally would have liked a tad more oil and vinegar. We gave this a 4/5.

Both sandwiches are so packed that they can easily be split up into 2 pieces (maybe even 3 depending on who's eating it). So great option for leftovers.

My wife loves their artichoke hearts but I’m sure you’ll find all kinds of wonderful edible and delicious treats that will make you want to keep returning to buy more of their wonderful products..
