    Love Mambo. Exceptional food. Wonderful service. Some of our dishes were priced reasonably, but $50 for 6 scallops as the main was shocking. Highly recommend, just ask prices when ordering specials!

    Our server Grant was fabulous! The restaurant was very busy and the noise level was much too high for my liking. Our party was three couples and being older, I had a very difficult time having a conversation. Our food was very good, generous portions. Although it was served at room temperature and was not hot. My husband and I shared an entree and they very nicely split it in the kitchen and it was beautiful presented to us!

    We dined at Mambo Italiano on a Saturday evening with another couple who are dear friends of ours. We had been there several times but it was the first experience for our friends. They couldn't stop talking about how great the dinner experience was; the food and service were incredible!

    We live be the. Home made pasta and spices. Service is exceptional. Just can get noisy during busy time. Tables too close to each other to accommodate more people. Still love to eat there.

    Hidden gem In Mundelein. We had a great time at MI, service was good but it was understaffed. Just a few servers for a packed restaurant Food was very good. And ambience was great.
