    We dined at Mambo Italiano on a Saturday evening with another couple who are dear friends of ours. We had been there several times but it was the first experience for our friends. They couldn't stop talking about how great the dinner experience was; the food and service were incredible!

    We live be the. Home made pasta and spices. Service is exceptional. Just can get noisy during busy time. Tables too close to each other to accommodate more people. Still love to eat there.

    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.
