    Mambo Italiano is my favorite restaurant in the area. Food is always good and the service is great. My only disappointment was that I indicated we were there for a birthday celebration on Opentable and there was no acknowledgement of the special day. Otherwise it was a lovely dinner.

    Haven’t been to Mambo in years and it didn’t disappoint. We were a party of 4. We had 4 different entrees and each was delicious. Our server was Alan, not sure how he spells his name. He stated he had been there only a week. He did a great job. We will be back!

    Overall, we had a good experience. The drinks were okay, nothing special(didn't get wine). For food, fried calamari could have been a fried a bit longer, but still taste good. Rack of Lamb was great! Waiter was newer, could tell he was still learning the menu.
