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.

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.

While the setting was nice, we did not have a good experience with the taste and quality of the food. All items were overpriced as well.
