    Perfect birthday dinner at Mambo Italiano. When I booked through Open Table I requested a booth by the window and they were able to accommodate my request. The host even remembered when showing us to our table which was nice as it shows they do actually pay attention to the online requests. The only thing that would have put it over the top was to offer a free dessert or something to that effect as I also did mention that it was a birthday celebration when I booked. No big deal though. Food was incredible as always. I am Italian and very picky about my Italian food and usually don't like to go out for it as I am always disappointed but not at Mambo Italiano! Wonderful authentic Italian food. Our family's only choice when we feel like Italian food.
