We had a wonderful dinner at Mambo Italiano last week. So many of the entrees sounded delicious, but after careful consideration I settled on the pollo parmesan. It comes with sautéed vegetables and penne pasta and is topped with a flavorful marinara sauce. Our waitress was great and she provided very helpful information about the menu when my dining companion... More

My husband and I joke that we should try other places...but, why? We've never had a bad meal or experience at Mambo. We've been regulars for years. Excellent food, great staff, cozy and reasonable.

Very casual restaurant - lots of college students on the night we visited - but superb Italian food and the pizza we spied at the next table looked yummy.
