The food was okay. My husband had veal which he said was not as good as the last time. I had a pasta filled with marscapone, lobster and crab and topped with vodka cream sauce. It was good. Our waiter was new, had been there a month and needed a little more training. The women's bathroom had no soap because the soap dispenser had been broken half an hour before. I had to ask and wait for a replacement, meanwhile, there were two soap dispensers in the men's bathroom. I hope no employees had gone in there and not washed their hands well. We were seated next to a noisy table. There were plenty of other booths and tables in the restaurant and we could have seated a little further away.

Great place for a couples' date night. The food was really good and the live music with Dan was much appreciated. Service gave it a less classy feeling. The server seemed a little unaware of the menu or kitchen capabilities, but he figured it out without issue. The servers and bartender also got into an argument in front of customers regarding the service station. Got the salmon special. Had vegetarians with us who also liked their selections.

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.
