" Mandola's is now my go-to spot for Italian food! I love how family-oriented the restaurant is. The staff went out of their way to make my kids feel welcomed, and the special kids’ table was a cute touch. We ordered the chicken alfredo and a margherita pizza, both of which didn’t disappoint. The pizza had a nice thin crust and just the right amount of cheese and sauce. To wrap it all up, we indulged in their delicious tiramisu. I highly recommend this restaurant to families and authentic Italian food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about Mandola’s. The atmosphere is charming, yet the food didn’t quite hit the spot. The gnocchi was more like doughy blobs than the light fluffy dumplings I was expecting, and the marinara lacked depth. The staff were lovely and helpful, and I liked that they offered various Italian desserts. I might head back again but will likely try something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This quaint little Italian spot has become my family’s favorite! The ordering process is straightforward, and our food always arrives promptly. We usually start with a delightful bruschetta that never fails to impress. Then, we dig into their pasta dishes; the pesto fettuccine is my personal favorite. Also, the gelato is always a must-have, always fresh and bursting with flavor. If you haven’t tried Mandola’s yet, you’re missing out on great family-friendly dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, I was quite impressed with my first visit to Mandola’s Italian Kitchen. The staff were welcoming, and the food was flavorful. I had the spaghetti with marinara and meatballs, and my wife opted for the chicken piccata. The meals were generously portioned and tasty. Our kids enjoyed their pizza; it was fresh and not greasy. The only downside was decor; although nice, it could use a bit of warmth to feel more Italian. Overall, a solid family dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had dinner at Mandola’s and it was a delightful experience! The ambiance felt very homey, and I loved the fact that you can watch your food being prepared. We tried the chicken parmigiana and it was simply fantastic. The portion sizes are generous too! Our server was friendly and attentive, making sure our drinks were never empty. Not to mention, we ended our meal with their homemade gelato, which was the highlight of our night. Overall, a great place to come back for Italian comfort food. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a unique concept! You walk in, order, and then find a seat while your food is brought to you. I was pleasantly surprised by the food quality at Mandola's. The chicken piccata was flavorful, and their house-made gelato is fantastic! The only downside I can point out is the space can get quite busy and noisy during peak hours. However, the service remained consistent, and the staff worked diligently to keep everything running smoothly. Overall, a delightful dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't very impressed with Mandola's to be honest. I went based on a friend's recommendation, but the service was slow and kind of disorganized. I ordered a simple spaghetti and marinara and it was underwhelming, lacked seasoning and flavor. The atmosphere is nice and cozy, and they have a great selection of desserts so I tried the cannoli, which was delicious, but overall my meal wasn’t what I hoped for. I might give it another try just for desserts. " (*Curated Review*)
