Love this place, counter service, order and sit down. Food brought to you by staff. Place is nice looking and clean. Food is really good. We got the chicken parm and a caprese sandwich. Dishes are big portions. You get bread and olive oil as a starter for meals. Everytime I am in the area I want to stop by. They have daily specials and also Gelato and other deserts. Worth the stop!
Wow!! What a truly phenomenal experience. I have never walked into a restaurant and instantly felt more welcome. From the initial entrance we were warmly welcomed by the bartender and host. Then the order process was explained in detail and we were provided a generous menu full of delicious options. We ordered and had the unique yet truly wonderful experience of meeting the restaurant owner. He showed us family photos on the wall. His mother and wife are gorgeous btw! Their smiles radiate through the camera lens. We were given delicious complementary bread with an olive oil for dipping. Then our food was not only large portion wise but full of flavor and it was the lunch portions! We couldn't say more wonderful things about this overall experience!! Insomuch we will be back again very very soon.
This place is conveniently located near my work, so I often stop by for lunch or coffee. This is my first time to write a review for them after I have been there many times. The lunch prices are reasonable, and the portions are just right. I recently had a cappuccino and two freshly baked cookies, which came out to about $8. The cookies were delicious, and the barista, Noah, was very friendly. They are using Lavazza coffee, but it was very bitter to me - I am a lavazza fan so maybe they are using coffee beans that I don’t normally use. ( I don’t really know ) they also have fresh made gelato and it was so yummy! ( peach and Coconut)
We have been here a few times and the whole experience has always been fantastic. The people are SO friendly here. The food is always very tasty here and the service has always been superb. This place serves authentic Italian cuisine. Lots of drinks and desserts to choose from as well. Great bar area and a large outdoor patio. I recommend this business. We will be back.
This was our first time at this restaurant and the staff was very helpful with helping us to make a decision. We both ordered the salmon plate and the salmon was good but we couldn’t eat the vegetables because they were very cold and I could tell it was cooked/grilled a while ago since it had a shriveled up look to it. Martin was apologetic for the cold veggies and brought us a complimentary coconut cake which was excellent! However, I’m not sure if we will revisit.
I visited Mandola's on a rainy afternoon. I was not expecting the light and open seating area, it was a sharp contrast to the afternoon Florida rain. The restaurant has a casual relaxed atmosphere. Food is ordered at a register area and you may sit where you please. I ordered the Lasagna and added a meatball. Bread and a dipping plate were provided. The Lasagna was very flavorful. It has a meaty tomato sauce that was made in house. It turned out to be a good choice for me. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Mandolas's would be a very good choice for everything from a casual business meeting to a family gathering. It is very worthwhile checking out.
I had the pleasure of dining at Mandola’s Italian Restaurant, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I walked in, the warm, inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. The service was top-notch—attentive & friendly. The bartender Isabella was so kind and knowledgeable on all the dishes and drinks they served. I would highly recommend the Italian margarita she made to anyone who loves tequila. It was so refreshing. Now, let’s talk about the food... absolutely fantastic! Everything is made in house and you can tell. The margherita pizza.. so incredibly satisfying. I will definitely be back.
