   We had a great dining experience. The four of us each enjoyed our meals. Our waiter was attentive and explained the multiple specials and three of the four of us ordered specials. We will definitely look forward to dining at Mambo Italiano again!

   We had reservations at 6:45. We waited 30 minutes before we finally got seated. I thought the hostess was rude and it seems like she couldn’t handle the pressure.

   1) Our waiter Cameron was truly great. 2) The pasta was nothing short of fantastic. 3) Two things needed improvement. First, the salad was just spring mix and two grape tomatoes....which could have been fine but the balsamic vinaigrette had no balsamic to speak of. A restaurant of this quality should be using an aged balsamic that is thick and syrupy. Secondly, the bread was warm but hard. I tried dipping it into the olive oil and parmesan that was provided but it didn't work because it was so hard and the olive oil quality was not wonderful. Summary - absolutely worth it to go back for the pasta and we will do that, but next time would not order the salad and would tell them not to bother bringing bread.

   First time and will definitely be back! The service and food was fantastic. Was pleasantly surprised by the elegant decor given it is located in a strip mall. You are able to have conversation and can hear.

    The food was alright, had the chicken vessuvio and the broth was watery, the chicken was "breaded" one of two breasts was breaded. Had to ask the waiter what the special was since he did not mention it to us and overheard him tell the table behind us, also he offered the table behind us cheese and not us.
