    I love this restaurant. The food is always fresh and the ambience is amazing. Our waiter was so attentive and helpful with all questions. Try to make it to dessert because EVERYTHING is fabulous.

    We ate at Mambo for the first time in many years and it exceeded our expectations. The veal parmigiana, the tomato basil soup, carrot cake and limoncello flute dessert were particularly very good and quite flavorful. The ambiance is very nice and the service was quite good as well.

    We had a group of 8, we were the only ones with prior experience. All got a different item. All loved their dish and for a quality restaurant, the food was VERY reasonable. Out waitress could not have been more attentive. A truly wonderful experience. Everyone on out group said they will go back

    First time here. There was a cold draft where we were seated. Although the waiter was friendly, service was pretty slow. Possibly needed more waitstaff as it was pretty busy. Food was good but for the bread that was burned in places.
