Mona

Mona is a special Jerusalem restaurant, and if there’s one dish that would make me come back, it’s definitely the corn agnolotti. It was absolutely outstanding and, without a doubt, the star of the meal. We weren’t particularly hungry, so we decided to sample several dishes. Alongside the agnolotti, we ordered the fish tartare served on a rice cracker. The fish was well seasoned, but the cracker felt a little greasy and didn’t add much to the dish. The stracciatella with tomatoes was very tasty overall, although some of the tomatoes were underripe and didn’t really contribute to the dish. We also ordered the sourdough bread, which was excellent, although I felt one more slice would have been appropriate. The beef tongue steak was another highlight. It was flavorful, precise, and definitely recommended. Unfortunately, the crab pasta was a real disappointment. Visually, it looked almost like something you might get in an institutional cafeteria. The flavor was very flat, the type of pasta didn’t seem well suited to the dish, and it was also overcooked. The burger, ordered medium with all the toppings, was very tasty and satisfying. For dessert, we had the panna cotta with seasoned sourdough crumbles and honey, which was both delicious and unique. Overall, we had a good dining experience, with most of the food being very enjoyable. The service was friendly, attentive, and professional. The corn agnolotti and beef tongue were the highlights for me, and the agnolotti alone would be enough to bring me back.
